New Video: Grungy 'slept in' eyeliner makeup tutorial!

Not living the 'Rock and Roll' lifestyle but wish that you were?
Want it to look like you were out partying all night with a glass of low inhibitions?
Girls, wish that you could wear 'the walk of shame' every day?

If that sounds like you, then why not try the grungy eye makeup look!

For whatever reason, this look has really caught on so I thought that I would share it with you guys

I created a video that teaches you how to master that in under a minute!

I am more a fan of 'polished' looks myself, but I figured that there is no harm in trying new things and sharing new tips and trick with you.

I used Macs eyeliner in 'Smoulder' which is a really smudgy formula so pretty much ideal for this kind of thing- I thought I would mix it up a little this week to take a little break from all my glitzy gold holiday makeup tutorials!

My Moccasins!

Check out my new ultra spangly boots that got me feeling like I am walking on clouds!

They're soft like a slipper but eye catching too, no one can resist looking at a boot with so much motion and twingly twangly bits, like a glow around my feet!

I got them in black so that hopefully they go with more, and they make for a great transitional boot between Summer to Autumn when it gets a whole lot chillier here!

This is my first pair of calf high boots since my pastel pink cowboy boots that I got years and years ago in a sale at Next. I don't get much wear outta those cowboy boots anymore except maybe for fancy dress...

These boots are pretty thin and light, unlike my little black ankle boots which I live in and are made for durability in those winter months! That's why these are the next best thing to bare feet as they are so soft and comfortable, even the sole is soft so they don't require that 'break in' period where you have to break the shoes in and deal with terrible pain for days and days, these just come as a black please of play-doh waiting to be moulded to every foot crevice!

I'm sorry if all this talk of feet is making anyone squeamish!
I got my boots from Ebay! So they were a chance item that I grabbed but they were new, and cost about £30!
They look great with knitted tights and a dark grey pair of shorts, but also with leggings and maybe with jeans but I'm trying to stay out of jeans as long as possible until it's colder as jeans are not so comfy in the heat!
Here's to Septembers arrival and facing it with fun new feet!

Get your liner on! NYX Super Fat Eye Marker Review & First impressions

My trusty liquid liner from Collection 2000 has served me well but there comes a point where the point (haha) of the brush can take no more.
Gone are the days where I can create lines as thin as a pin point, instead I can only create chunky looks with that little thing.
I decided it was about time I found a suitable replacement in the meantime to create those neat flicks.
I visited a beauty outlet store near me and bought the Super Fat eye marker by NYX 'The bold and daring liner' in Carbon Black.

 'Fat' and 'Bold' aren't words you would  associate with creating delicate lines, but this has a ultra fine tip that I hope I do not wear down before long.

Eye marker pens are perfect if:
You are a beginner at eyeliner as they are easier to use and feel familiar in your hand, like holding a pen
You like to create thick and thin eyeliner looks
You like to use eyeliner when applying false lashes to 'fill in' gaps and make the lashes look natural

My first impressions of this liner is that it's a very thin formula, much like a felt tip pen so it may not be the 'blackest' black you have ever used, but is black enough and more forgiving than thicker fomulas.
It dries incredibly quickly, basically instantly, so that you can blink without having a black-blob-disaster. Although, it is not waterproof (nor does it claim to be) or 'rub proof' and I'm a big eye rubber

Best to bring makeup for touch ups with this one!

New video! All That Glitters isn't gold Makeup Tutorial

Here I am before a night out and I was feeling a black and gold look!

It's really quick and easy! I use my beautiful and well-loved Urban Decay Vice Palette, but any nude, gold and matte black will do (I think I prefer Sleeks matte black eyeshadows)
I was going to re flim this as I'd purchased the Maybelline 24 hour Color tattoo in eternal gold but I'm not thankful that I didn't as me and that product are not getting along right now...
Enjoy!

Lets go to the movies: The woman in black

Okay, so this is kind of an oldie now as it's not even in the cinema anymore, but I only just saw it today and this is probably my absolute limit on a film that leans towards the horror genre but I can just cope with it although I did believe that the Woman in Black was waiting for me behind every door that I have opened since watching it.
Anywho onto the film, so the main guy is Harry Potter... I mean Daniel Radcliffe, and he plays as a widower lawyer with a young son, and he goes on work to visit a quiet village where he has to deal with legal documents in a classic haunted house, we're takling high ceilings, cobwebs, creepy paintings and dark corridoors.
The whole time you're on edge and I find films like that physically exhausting!
THere appears to be some kind of curse on the house where the same recurring bad event (I won't specify what) happens when someone sees the woman in black.
So Harry Potter has a good crack at breaking the curse and in the last few moments of the film you find out if he was successful or not.

A sum up-
This film is jumpy and eerie and is best watched with the lights on and a friend or two
I didn't know the story at all and it was a pleasant surprise
If you hate creepy kids toys or creepy kids in films then avoid
No matter how much you may want him to, Harry doesn't cast a spell to make all the bad things go away

Bow-tiful! Outfit of the day!

Here's a little look at what I wore today!
