NEW THING!!! NEW THING!!!!

GUYS! BRAIN WAVE! OK, I know I am a make up look blog, but what's the use of me just telling you what products to use if a) they are unavailable where you are and b) you've never tried them and don't know if you should spend money on a brand you haven't yet tried? So I bring to you.... PRODUCT REVIEWS!
I will be testing different products and giving you my verdict, I love all make up and will try anything, I have no allergies to anything (except peanuts but I doubt they'll be in make up lol) so I'm happy to splodge any type of make up on my mush.
I'm going to do my reviews one day every week, giving my face a break and some much needed TLC. Oh! I'm also thinking of adding in face care guides, because make up does require us to take care of our faces more so than those who do not wear make up, and I am proud to say *touch wood* I have never had a problem with my skin on my face because I take exquisite care of my skin :D (not bragging at all haha) so, comments on that potential addition? What do we think? Yes or no?
Anyway, this week will be devoid of posts because I am not at home, I'm going to be in Leicester, checking out where I am going to live starting September because I am going to Demontfort uni to become a nurse! My boyfriend is currently there doing maths at Leicester uni so he has buisness there too and I'm staying with him and as we may have noticed, his presence signals a gradual decline in posts. But fear not! It's only until friday, then things will get back to normal plus reviews annd maybe the TLC posts if you like the sound of them that is :)
Toodles my loves

Draconian Style

Now here is a word to buff up your vocabulary: Draconian "to be unusually harsh or severe" from the word Draco, the name of a man who thought up some pretty strict rules. He was Athenian (A place in Ancient Greece) and even petty crimes had serious punishment. I'm not just a pretty face you see!
Anyway, I use that word today because I am doing a look for Draco Malfoy (notice... :D) who is a cruel character in Harry Potter with a disdain for others and a harsh view on those he considers beneath himself.
I've not copied his face like I did for Bellatrix, instead I've taken his personality, harsh, wealthy and cold and tried to bring that out in the make-up...
Sharp lines and cool colours are what define this look (disdainful look not included)
Here is what we used:
Translucent face powder (I used my trusty Collection 2000 loose powder), pale green shimmery eyeshadow (I used Gr 4 from the 120 palette I use), Grey eyeliner (Mine is Barry M's kohl pencil in #26), skin coloured lipstick (I used Collection 2000 cream puff in powder puff 2), medium thickness false lashes (mine were a £1 pair from primark) and glitter eyeliner (I used my Collection 2000 gel liner in hustle #4).



Now, get a large powder brush and swirl plenty of powder onto your face. Then draw a line from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner getting gradually thicker as it goes along in grey liner and give it a long pointed flick at the end. Line the flick up with the corner of your eyebrow. Then apply your false lashes as close to your lashes as possible but never on your lashes. Then with an eyeliner brush apply green eyeshadow to your lower lash line and then use glitter liner in the crease of your eyelid and follow the flick of your grey liner. Then apply your lipstick and enjoy some wrong doings!
Sparkle sparkle :D

Now all you gotta do is get in favour with the baddy and ruin the good guys day :D
Have fun plotting dastardly plots my loves

Bellatrix

:D
no post last night, Grandad stole the internet -_-'''
OH WELL you have a post tonight, and it is Bellatrix Lestrange!
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091222192813/harrypotter/images/a/a0/Bellatrix_Lestrange_(n%C3%A9e_Black).jpg
That was what I used as reference. She's crazy, so she's meant to be mucky, disorganised and somewhat upside down.
By the way, my hair is this way naturally, I wouldn't know where to start if you wanted to match the hair sorry :P
This is one of my crazy faces :P
Right here is what I used: Translucent face powder (Mine is collection 2000's loose powder), Brown eyeliner (Barry M #2), pinky-brown lipstick (Avons lipstick in iced coffee), purple-bronze eyeshadow (I used Br10 from the 120 palette), and matte pale brown lipstick (I use Collection 2000 creampuff in Angel Delight), lengthening mascara )I use maybellines great lash in blackest back)
And here is how to:



Powder your face with the translucent powder to even out the skin tone, use pleanty and use a big powder brush to apply it in big spirals around the face. Then use an eyeshadow brush and apply eyeshadow to your lids and blend above the crease and sweep some below the eye to make it look like you have shadows under your eyes. then thinly line your upper lash line with a little brown eyeliner and apply one coat of mascara to your lashes, making sure they are seperate.



Then lightly line your lips with the brown eyeliner and smudge it with a brush or your fingers till it's just noticable. Then fill in your lips with the lipstick and add some more definition into it by dotting a little brown liner on the insides of the lips. Then dab little bits of the matte lipstick on the outside corners of your lips and blend it in.
Tada :D Now you just need to pull a crazy face and you're a real Lestrange

:D Lotsa crazy.
Buhbye xxx

Apologies

I am really sorry for not updating regularly... I would have thought, being off now and all, that I would be able and free to update every night like I want to. Only things come up don't they...
Last night my boyfriend stole me away from you again, and tonight I am emergency babysitting, as such I am unable to updae tonight because I have no camera to take photos nor do I have all my make up here to create a look. I will however strive to bring you a look tomorrow. I'm thinking Bellatrix Le Strange? Anyway, I will update tomorrow brownie promise (I didn't go to Brownies...  but it's the intention that counts!)
After Bellatrix, I', going to do Draco, then Voldemort, then I will do Ravenclaw and their group, then Gryfindor. After this, the next big project is going to be my Disney Princesses.... Oh how I look forward to that!!!!!

Slllyitheriiin

A few months ago, sat chattering as I do to my good buddies, we got onto the topic of which house we belonged in at Hogwarts, 2 of my friends, Shivani and Carrick who have modeled on here before, are without a shadow of doubt Hufflepuff as they are fluffy and soft, Edward and Jayne were classed as Ravenclaw because they are intellectual and disapprove of mine and my boyfriends shenanigans (nothing dirty mind you and secret tuttings are not so secret when they are out loud guys!). I was a Gryfindor... hands down apparently because I am "Balshy" and ironically enough my boyfriend is Slytherin because he is a sneaky, ruthless individual, driven to achieve power... Ha... Opposites attract!
Anyway, moving on :)
Righty this is what you need my lovelies:
A grass green eyeshadow (I used Gr10 from the manly palette), a sliver eyeshadow (I used Si2 from the same palette as the green), snazaroo glitter gel in "multi, a pale green eyeliner (I used Barry M #20), a dark green eyeliner (I used superdrugs own "2true" in #4), a silver eyeliner or body crayon (I used the glittery silver one from the Claires Dark collection of body crayons) and eyelures false eyelashes "Sarah" from the girls aloud party lashes collection.
It's a proud look, one to use if you want something to give your face a distict powerful look.
This is how it goes down!
Use the pale green eyeliner to shape where you're going to put the green eyeshadow, draw a dot outside the outer edge of your upper eyelid, make it sit halfway up parallel to the lid then draw lines to that point from the crease and lower lash line to meet the dot. Cover your upper lid in the sliver eyeshadow and follow the eyeliner guide with green eyeshadow to create a dark green outline to the silver. Line your lower lashline with the dark green eyeliner and spot under neath the lower lashline with the glitter gel. Apply the false lashes, now following the instructions is useful in this situation, it saves me time explaining how to apply falsies :) Don't worry if they do not it exactly fit exactly straight perfectly above your lashes, because no one really notices when you have fab fluttering silver lashes, and if perfection is your goal, recite this mantra "Practise makes perfect".
Now just colour your lips in with the silver liner or glitter crayon.

Simple pimple :D
Have fun dominating your subordinates with this look!

Cedric Dig-it-ory

Oki, didn't post last night but I have a totally valid reason for it... my boyfriend is home from uni ^_^ so I went to go see him and unexpectedly spent the night... I would have updated had I actually gone home as was my intention but he does this puppy eye thing... and he has big blue eyes... and... well I have no guilt over it ok!
I got today and tomorrows look done already so don't worry about me not updating ok :D
Anyway, this look is a clean simple look. I jazzed up my eyebrows for a manly hint because... Cedric is a boy... xD
There are sparkles too of course :)
Anyway, you'll want to grab yourself some of the following if you're going to battle Voldemort and won this tine!
Gold glitter gel liner (I use collection 2000 gel glitter liner in funk3), coppery eyeliner (I used Barry M's in #29), yellow and dark gol eyeshadows (I used Y5 and G8 from the "Manly" 120 palette I coded for), a nude matte lipstick (I used collection 2000 cream puff in angel delight), some clear mascara (I use collection 2000) and a deep back mascara (I use maybeline blackest black).
Firstly, just do whatever you usually do to your face in terms of applying foundation or whatever to even out your skintone and DON'T APPLY BLUSHER!
Now use the gold eyeshadow first, just on your eyelid, then blend the yellow over that (Hufflepuff yellow with a bit of depth) then line your upper lashline with the coppery eyeliner with a medium thickness line and go over that with the gold glittery liner. Now just one coat of the black mascara and sweep on to your lips the matte lipstick. To jazz up the brows, get the clear mascara and wiggle the brush up thorugh your brows to lift the hairs to point upwards to add a touch of masculinity to the look, this is optional, I thought it made it more authentic considering the character.

Tada :)

Tonk-tastic!

I AM SO SPARKLY ITS JUST SO WONDERFUL!*breathes into paper bag*
EEEE
Tonight I'm Nymphadora Tonks:
Ok... the inspiration here is the part where she turns her hair pink... I'm justifying the glitter with its light and colour changing properties?... no? Well... DEAL WITH IT I LIKE GLITTER...
Well, whether you agree this is Tonksy or not it's fun, to get the look you'll need the following:
Shimmering face cream (I use eyeko cream... no idea how long I have had it but it is amazing... try and find it ^_^), pink eyeshadow (P2 in the 120 palette), purple eyeshadow(Pu9) and magenta eyeshadow(P1), pink irridescent lipstick (I use NYC 405 blue rose), glitter gel (i use a snazaroo one it's "multi"), purple mascara (I used urban decay big fatty mascara in purple haze), silvery glitter eyeliner (I use collection 200 in hustle) and a shimmery body puff (I use urban decays cherry bomb... you can lick this powder, it is edible! It tastes of Cherryade!)


Anyway here we go this is how we do it:
Get a foundation brush and get a good glob of the shimmery face cream and cover you whole face in a sheen of the cream, not too thick, but so you are obviously shimmery. Then cover your lid in your magenta eyeshadow and in the inner corner blend in the pink eyeshadow to half way into your lid. Use an eyeliner brush to line your lower lid with purple eyeshadow then coat your lashes in purple mascara and then with a layer of the glitter liner.
Grab a lip brush and carefully fill your lips with the pink lipstick and then dip the handle of a large brush in the glitter gel and tap that under your eyes to create glittery freckles. Now finish off your face with a dusting of the shimmery powder.
Done :D
Sparkles make me happy :D
This is George ^_^ he is my witches cat... who thinks he is a dog :P I love hime^_^
