A little Luna-tic

Oki doki, I'm back, I am also ill! I was worse yesterday than I have been today so I am posting... despite being surrounded by tissues.
Well here we have Luna... I sparkled this one up because she is a sparkly so and so!
Anyway here we gooooo:

LOOK! SPARKLY FRECKLES!
I used: Light purple body glitter and irridescent body glitter (from a rainbow set of 10 by claires accesories), silver eyeliner (no#11 from Barry M), silver glitter liner (#4 "Hustle" from collection 2000), purple mascara (electric purple from Barry M), sheer pink lipgloss ( beautyuk's lip lust in #6 oh baby)

Righty, simple pinple this, once you've applied your foundation or whatever you are putting on your face over all, apply the purple body glitte under your eye and some irridescent glitter in your eyebrows. Then line your upper lid in silver and line over that in the glitter gel liner. Then line under your lower lashline in the glitter gel. Then go mad with the purple mascara to build up some major colour.

After wards apply the lipgloss in a nice sheen over your lips. This look is super quick and super simple.

You'll have trouble getting the glitter out of your brows by the way if you just use a face wash or wipe, I suggest using the brush end of an eyebrow comb to brush it out, go against the way your eyebrows lie so you get everything out then wash your face.
Tomorrow it is Cho Chang ;)

That's so Rowena Ravenclaw!

Righty! Good omen this, being able to update again second day in a row... we should count this! Number of days I update without messing up and missing a post! Or is that a load of rubbish?
Anywaaaay... I'll just get on with the post shall I?
 Rowena was a beautiful scottish witch, very smart, very powerful and a co founder of Hogwarts. She's the lady who "lost" her diadem (a thin crown that encircles your head rather than sits on top of your head) in the story way way back, leading onto various shenanigans later in time in the books... yup... anyway...This is what I used to get a Rowena inspired look: shimmering cream eyeshadow (I used Urban Decay "Sellout") a blue eyeliner (I used avons super shock shimmering sapphire gel liner that's in the pot not a pencil), a bronze eyeliner (Barry M's kohl pencil in #29), rose pink lipstick (I used collection 2000's cream puff matte lip cream in cotton candy 1) and any mascara you happen to prefer I have used mine as always Maybellines great lash.

On with the how to:
Line your upper lid with the blue liner, flick the liner out from the outer end of the eyelid and blend it so that it fades at a gradient. then line your lower lash line with a thin line of the bronze eyeliner. Use an eyeshadow brush and just lightly apply a wash of eyeshadow onto your lid and take the colour up to your brow. Then coat your lashes up with your mascara so they are thick and flirty.
Now for your lips, just ose one coat of your lipstick, if it's a glossy lipstick, blot it, if it's a matte one, just leave it at one coat and you're sorted :D

Now I am gonna go on to Luna Lovegood next... Be prepared :D She is one of the characters I most relate to and I intend to go full sparkle with it.

Also, bought myself a whooping great big tool box for my make up, has wheels and everything! It replaces my old box which was busting at the seams lemme show you:

Imagine this with 3 palettes, two tins full of false lashes and 2 packs of baby wipes plus a tub of brushes... it was madness! So I bought this today:

15 liters (or 12 gallons) of portable joy!
It will end up glitter glued into oblivion, the process has already begun as we speak.
Till tomorrow my loves!

Ravin

OK, back on the band wagon after my weird complicated and painful spat with my boyfriend. Won't bore you with that and so on with the look.
We're picking up where we left of with the dawning of the Ravenclaw look *mad scramble for her camera*... Did this one poised in the wingback leather chair my Grandma has in her sitting room while being lectured on the virtues of natural beauty and how girls wear too much make up now by my Grandad (he was from the 60's, the age of inch thick panstick... What cheek!).
Anyhoo, onwards march darlings!
I used a bronze eyeshadow (R2 from the Manly palette I coded for http://sparklesplat-foomobile.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/coded-palette.html) and royal blue eyeshadow (a blend of Pu6 and B7 from the same palette follow the previous link :D), also used a bronze lipstick, mines a w7 one called gold mine (it's not so much gold a a copper colour... but whatever it matched the look :))

Anyway simple pimple this one, firstly from the inner corner of your eye to the half in to the lid, use the bronze shadow and apply it upto the brow not passing that half way mark and line under your lower lash line with the bronze colour. For the rest of the lid including upto the brow like with the bronze use the royal blue, blending the two colours over each other for a rich blue colour and do the same lining below the lash line. Now apply lipstick a sure way to get rich and lasting colour is to apply, the blot with a tissue then apply again. Told you it was simple ;)

Apologies that you can see right up my nose here xD

A product reviiieeeew: Moisturiser.

Funny one to start with, but before I put any make up on my face, especially powder, I make sure I have cleansed and moisturised my face. So I'm reviewing moisturiser I have owned several types, brands and other things over time and I have found the best one to be Johnsons daily essentials. They go on silky and absorb quickly and even for sensetive skin they are non greasy. They aren't too expensive either which is a bonus!

The pots are small but they go a long way and I'm pretty sure are available across the globe for all your faces to feel refreshed and fancy ready to apply your make up and get going!

Snape... Snape.... Severus Snape

Elongate every s in his name and it sounds wonderful :DAnyway, I was going to do Voldemort only I felt his face is something I would want to fully replicte down to slit nosey glory. But it would cost too much money to do the prosthetics or to buy enough fx-wax to cover the area it would be too expensive to do :(. So we have some snapey goodness :D.
Anyway, I copied the make up he has on set, which is somecross between cranky grease ball and shattered teacher. Gotta sympathise with his character, I won't say why because if you haven't seen the films I would end up spoiling it.
For the look I used: Black eyeshadow (Bl1 from the Manly 120 palette I coded), mascara (maybelline great lash), face powder (collecyion 2000 loose translucent powder), foundation (benefit some kinda gorgeous lite).

(I'm not going mad here haha it's me trying to do a Snape like look with sarcasticly raised eyebrow, but I fail... Oh well)

Ok the how to bit. It is super simple you may have already guessed how to do it... But tell you anyway, I will.

Powder up your face with a large powder brush swirled in a little of the powder tapped into the lid of the powder conatiner then you'll have just the right amount on the brush to apply without looking fluffy due to too much powder. Then tap a tiny amount of black eyeshadow onto an eyeshadow brush and blend it all over your lid and upto your brows, build up the colour to a washed out grey colour then sweep a tiny amount of black under your eye to look like under eye shadows when you are tired. Now just apply a lil bitty mascara and you are done :)

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 :)

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
