PAUL & JOE SWOON

First of all I'm not usually JUST a packaging kind of make-up girl..... but LOOK! It's so pretty and feminine. The compact is a cool mauve pink with micro pink and gold shimmer. LOVE. 
Highlighter and blush in one. 
I thought this might of been a shimmer/frost finish product but it's actually matte with micro glitter. SAY NO TO CHUNKY GLITTER FACE PRODUCTS.

Total impulse purchase. I've always been interested in Paul & Joe but nothing really stood out. I have to say the selling point is the packaging for me but the product isn't bad inside! Would I of just bought it for the product alone? No.... but this kawaii little product stands out in my vast collection. Also it's my first dabble into Asian cosmetics which I've not really tried before (made in Japan).
Lastly sorry for the absence of make-up looks, I'm currently involved in a really cool project where I'm doing 3 looks for a fashion film/commercial. I'm just gathering together photos so it'll be a whammy of make-up for you guys!

HAULIN ' 12

These polishes are actually UNIQUE. Very easy to apply and free worldwide shipping. My order actually got lost and they quickly sent me another one - so thumbs up on customer service!
Slowly adding to my Tatty Devine collection... I love this! So cute and with it being black it just goes with everything.
I've wanted this for awhile but I never bought it because it was a bit pricey, but it was on sale so I snatched it up. If you don't know I'm kind of a believer in all things zodiac... I think the 3 words sums up my personality quite well. 
I bought this mainly for inspiration because I think this is kind of the path I'm interested in going down.The book has a heavy graffiti vibe but it's inspiring none the less.
Again something for uni. The book is full of amazing illustrations by a ton of illustrators/designers which is handy for some instant inspiration without having to rely on the web so much. A lot of it is vector based but I'm quite fond of that style - still love hand crafted work btw!
I've used this for a while and it does actually work. I basically wanted a product/treatment that could really moisturise the skin and after some research I decided to go with this. The site is really helpful and explains everything you need to know about why and how to use it. I feel it actually 'plumps' out the skin from within.
I can't resist stuff like this. It's a top with a dog face on it! SOLD. 

Hey guys, so I'm back with a collective haul! I've not been buying much make-up surprisingly and all the above I managed to snag either in the sale or with a decent discount code. SAVVY SHOPPING FTW.

I SUCK

 20s inspired. Clara Bow was on my mind... for the eyes anyway. 
50s, sky blue and red lips. Played around with the eyeliner to change things up. I drew my eyebrows higher too. P.S orange streak under my cheek = bad blending. 

FAIL WEEK. I've taken DSLR photos for both of the above but I'm just not happy.... from lines looking dodgy or some parts looking too 'fake'. I'm sorry I did try. I'll try rustle something up for you guys ASAP.
I'm too much of a perfectionist guys. It exists btw for you non believers.

PHOTOS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN 2

Messing around with purple eyeshadows.
'Normal' make-up when I have time. Warm brown eyeshadow, winged eyeliner and more 'heavier' brows.

Hey guys, so this is my second offering of webcam (whore) shots I've not uploaded before. Majority of the looks you have seen before because I don't really the time to just aimlessly play with make-up anymore. But I still think it's pretty cool to see all the different looks I've done on myself..... experiment!
