e what i had in my wardrobe and makeup collection minus my contact lenses more on that later everything i wore from the makeup the outfit the jewellery was recycled from the past with putting on weight over the years and even after losing 8 pounds for the occasion there no chance i could have worn my brown avatar skirt so my ordinary multi purpose black skirt had to do now for the piece de resistance the most inexpensive comfortable easy to wear and striking even on dark eyes lenses on the planet ladies and gentlemen may i introduce to the mesmereyez xtreme louis one day halloween contact lenses at 6 99 a pair from hunt or dye of course i am never going to be as good as the boyfriend who pops in his lenses in a micro second flat because he wears lenses every day but i don t recall managing putting lenses in my lenses so fast i am not sure if it s because they are designed to last just one day and that the material is super thin but i found them very easy to insert in my eyes another big help was the colour there is no way you can put the lenses inside out the outside is very obvious from the inside and it felt so reassuring to be 500 sure they were inserted the right way other products used usual bog standard very highly pigmented red stargazer eye shadow from ebay purple and black eyeshadow from the sleek makeup acid palettesnazaroo white face paint ben nye

share to x share to facebook monday 3 november 2014 cliloopatra my character for halloween 2014 i can t tell you for how long i had been wanting to travel to ancient egypt and become cleopatra for a day i have been putting it for so long then when katy perry released dark horse i interpreted it as a sign so i had to be the queen of the nile this year for halloween i couldn t have made life for difficult for myself choosing to become cleopatra cleopatra eye makeup in my eyes anyway is all about intricate eyeliner work which is the last thing you want to replicate on a person with hooded eyelids like me and then cleopatra is famous for her luscious fringe or bangs as americans would call it so began the maniac hunt for a decent looking wig now if you thought there were a huge reality gap between advertisement photos of say burgers or eyes supposedly transformed by mascara the gap is even bigger when you buy a wig the amount of money i spent buying wigs which looked absolutely nothing like the picture is unbelievable then to top it all off the finishing touch for a cleopatra look is some form of golden headdress which turned out to be the biggest ball ache again an incredible amount of money was spent in buying all sorts of head gear on ebay for nothing one week before halloween i wish i had broken my leg instead of wanting to become cleopatra in a nutshell everytime i was trying to wear a headband over my wig i looked like an arabian sheik the hair would be stuck to my head would ping out at the bottom and i just felt very unpretty and unhappy then i thought getting a headchain would be a good idea i purchased this very one actually but it didn t work out on a wig it would constantly slide about fluff the hair up and make you nervous the wig would lift off on my natural mop of hair it looks actually really really nice but i looked more like princess jasmine than cleopatra in the end i wished i just went ahead bit the bullet and bought a headdress à la moloko to cut a painfully long story short decisions had to be made on friday night i wore the wig without any form of headgear which made difficult for people to recognise who i am and on saturday i wore a necklace which i already own under the wig fringe and it added a little cleopatra touch to my costume without further ado here are some photos of my halloween week end a nice blurry one to start the proceedings last but not least some snaps illustrating the not so attractive sheikh hair style pinging out at the bottom which i talked about earlier on and why i felt i just couldn t possibly go out like that what i used eyes two faced shadow insurance nyx jumbo pencil collection 2000 felt tip eyeliner gold eyeshadow in the l oreal hip flamboyant duo dark blue from sleek

looks shorter in real life or maybe it s just because of the model s giraffesque neck what i learnt from doing this makeup when you see a wig reality is that it will be 2 inches shorter on you use double sided tape to secure your wig wigs and hair accessories are a nightmare when paired together i am grumbling a lot but i really enjoyed wearing this look most of all i enjoyed the makeup challenge and trying to be cleopatra for the week end next year i fancy being something spooky again though wouldn t mind having a dab at special effects makeup hope you have had a fantastic halloween

with an old friend for years you know an email is long overdue but you don t know where the heck to start how to summarise years of absence i am like that with this blog so i m just going to go right into it and share a little bit of makeup with you just like in the old days about two months ago i started a new hobby and i have been going to salsa classes every thursday so last thursday on halloween eve the halloween obsessed girl that i am couldn t resist the urge of wearing a halloweeny makeup look it had to be wearable as i would still need to be able to dance with a partner without smearing him with face paint or something like that but most of all it had to be simple because i knew no one else would wear an halloween makeup on the night once on new year s eve i decided to join a fancy dress bar crawl on my own and i turned out to be the only one in fancy dress gear and makeup bar a lost jack sparrow after surviving that experience it is pretty safe to say that i ve gone past caring whether i am going to be the only one wearing fancy dress makeup it s too much fun to be had fancy dress makeup opportunities are too rare and i didn t want to miss out so this is what i came up with a mismatched asymmetrical colourful cobweb look and black lip accessorised with a mini witch hat on a headband ideal if you can t bring yourself choosing just one colour symbolic with halloween although this look can be done last minute and requires very few products you might want to practise beforehand before your big day what made all the difference was the marvellous extreme 24 hour felt tip eyeliner from collection 2000 you still require a pretty steady hand but it made my life so much easier but the product which i had the most pleasure using was sunrise orange eyeshadow from the makeupstore fantastic pigmentation very smooth and hands down the easiest shadow i have ever worked with it makes me want to throw all my makeup away and buy products just from the makeup store the green is a combination of the 2 green eyeshadows from the sleek makeup acid palette and the purply brown colour in the crease comes from the oh so special palette originally i wanted to recreate the gorgeous web look from goldiestarling but had to declare forfeit after battling with my hooded lids i have to start so much higher than my crease that i end up with very little space for the web part the web part under my eye was not much easier as it gets all distorted every time i smile and laugh it was pretty much a case of working with what i had lots of under eye wrinkling action rather than against it and adapt the angle of the web and the space between the lines to match the wrinkles so that the web still looks pretty when you smile and move your face had so much fun wearing this look i was so worried the eyeliner would smudge but a practise the night before made me realise i had nothing to worry about it withstood lots of laughter tears and didn t budge until i was ready to take it off oh why can t it be halloween again next week so that i can have some more play with it posted by liloo at 20 11 leave a comment 12 comments so far labels cobweb eotd fotd halloween makeuplook web witch email this blogthis share to x share to facebook tuesday 6 august 2013 under the sun series still irreplaceable have i already run out of ideas and content to feature a nail polish previously blogged about fear not i have a backlog of posts as long the channel tunnel today i would like to share you a old favourite nail polish of mine in a different light as part of my under the sun series if you are new to the series you can read about it here if you can t be bothered leaving this page it is essentially about giving great nail polishes the love they deserve and giving them a better chance to shine a chance to see them under the best light ever created by nature glorious natural sunlight essence irreplaceable is a big favourite of mine and i still like it just as much as the first day oddly enough i have not been wearing it much at all as a manicure but it has been without a doubt the nail i have been wearing the most on my toes this season in fact apart from a glittery black nail polish worn for about a week it s pretty much all that i have wearing this summer on my toes don t panic there will no toes on show i am very much aware that showing toes and feet is very controversial on internet instead have a look at this irreplaceable manicure i can t stress enough how easy this polish is to apply and wear nail polish experts will notice right away that my application is not the neatest and that it looks like i ve applied the polish 3 miles away from the edges but in the grand scheme of things and in real life it really doesn t matter that s the way i wear it the truth is that essence irreplaceable is a very forgiving shade due to its subtle colour on my toes it will last 1 week before losing its sparkle after a week it will start to wear out beautifully a bit like an antique gold vase if you re lucky to have a friend who lives in a country which sells bargainous high street wonder essence products this is definitely a shade you would like to get your hands and toes on i need a gallon of this stuff and it will be a sad day when i will have run out of my second and last bottle the closest polish to irreplaceable i own and

email this blogthis share to x share to facebook saturday 3 august 2013 nair upper lip kit since an unfortunate episode at the beauty salon i ve been avoiding beauty salons like the plague and i ve been taking charge of the unwanted hair on my face at home i ve been scared to get my eyebrows waxed at the beautician any beautician not just the one who butchered my brows so i have been trying to maintain my brows myself with a pair of tweezers as i get older removing unwanted hair around my eyebrows is getting easier and easier my eyebrows just don t grow as full as they used to anymore and i find myself spending more time filling them in rather than tidying them off hair on the upper lip however is still a problem you d think as you get older hair on this area will stop growing too but no lately i have been trying to control the appearance of facial hair on the upper lip whilst bleaching it the problem with bleaching is that the hair is still there less noticeable but it s still there as i was photographing some stuff for the blog in my kitchen on a sunny day one day i caught sight of my upper lip foliage and was horrified the same day i found myself in the aisles of boots purchasing my very first hair removal cream kit the choice of hair removal creams was quite baffling for the newbie like me i remember that there was a product for the face from boots own brand at 2ish but i opted for a pricier product and went home with the nair upper lip kit rrp 5 10 formulated for sensitive skin the rationale behind my purchase was two fold 1 a pricier product would mean better quality if i want to have a memorable first time i want to give myself as many chances as possible of liking the product so i might just as well go for a good product instead of choosing a cheapie one and running the risk of being put off for life from a method of hair removal i never tried before i also remember the days when i was trying to learn how to put false lashes on and it was only when i spent 5 in a reputable brand like eylure that i managed to put for the first time a pair of eyelashes with confidence 2 a product for sensitive skin would be better suited for hair removal newbies do you know where this is going yet i am trying to write this in the most neutral way as possible trying to manage the suspense only to reveal my opinion of the product at the end of this post but i feel like you can already sense where this is going i made the effort to read all the instructions but chose to ignore the bit where it says you have to patch test a small area to see if you develop a strong reaction with it the packet suggests that you do the patch test everytime you use it really who does that my first impressions were really good the kit contains 2 tubes the blue one
