A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉
This is my day’s worth of beauty for a trip to Adelaide including 2 plane trips.
A blog and Youtube channel about a girl and her quest to make everything sparkle. New craft, hair and beauty tutorials every week!
Violet LeBeaux spends most of her time trying to think of ways to make life prettier, posting said ways on her blog and drinking very strong tea. She writes about big hair cute things, girly fashion, beauty finds, sometimes Hime Gyaru fashion (姫ギャル) and crafty tutorials.

Welcome to a special morning make up edition.
This issue/episode/whatever I’ll take you through how I get ready, did two hair styles and took it all out for the Adelaide Beauty Conference.
We start at around 6am at my apartment. I had put my hair up into pin curls the night before and tied it all in a scarf.
Shower and getting dressed then moisturiser and primer.
This early in the morning I’m not laying much attention to the order I’m going things in.
I wear minimal make up for the plain trips so I can sleep in later.
Foundation, highlighter and blush.
I prefer to spent more time on hair in the mornings because I can do manke up on the plain but it’s harder to do hair there.
Undoing pin curls.
This time I only did a couple on each side because I knew I would have time to mess with them later.
Basically I just unpin them, brush through each to remove any kinks and retwist them with my fingers.
Nice and easy.
I’m pretty much on auto pilot this early in the morning.
I don’t function or smile much without my morning cup of tea and breakfast.
Brush the top layer of hair to get rid of any separation between the curls.
Straighten the fringe and maybe the top parts if there are pin marks.
Add a pretty headband, spray it and finished.
Simple and classic.
For extra bonus points tease the underneath of your fringe so it doesn’t split during the day.
Super magic time travel!
Ok so now we’re on the plain and I was feeling a tiny bit more awake.
This is my set up.
Firstly eyeliner, brown, top and 1/2 of the bottom.
I like flying, it’s nice to have with a couple of hours to myself with no interruptions.
Sparkly highlighter under the brow.
The flight to Adelaide was really quick though.
Light purple shadow all over the lid.
It felt like we were hardly in the air for 20 minuts between take off and descent.

I love making videos but I generally don’t have time to edit them so I don’t post as often as I would like. To celebrate the opening of Kodak’s online store, Nuffnang and Kodak gave me the opportunity to test out one of the new Kodak PlaySport pocket video cameras so I thought it would be a good chance to finally do something fun!
They asked me to share a day in my life and I thought it might be fun to cover some of the… misconceptions that people have had about me and my life in the past XD
Note- This video was edited using Final Cut Express.
As you can see, being a blogger really isn’t as awesome as a lot of people tend to assume hahaha! I just tend to work from 10am-10pm being boring in front of a computer, I don’t leave the house very often (thus the lack of snapshots posts lately!), I do boring things like send invoices and write email after email after email…. you get the idea XDThat said when I do actually get out and use a video camera it needs to be sturdy because well…I’m very clumsy. I dropped the camera about 10 times in the short time that I had it >_< And of course all of our electronics need to be able tot survive one of my pillow throwing morning wake up calls! Luckily the Kodak PlaySport was apparently built for stuff like that! As I don’t do anything water related, I couldn’t really showcase this camera’s other main feature: waterproofness without taking it in the shower with me (not going to happen!). Of course after racking my brains for hours over how I could show that the Kodak PlaySport is waterproof and coming up with absolutely nothing… now I realise I could have shown you some marbled nail art techniques… with the camera actually in the water I was marbling on!! I always think of awesome things after the deadline is up >_<
Next time! Maybe I could even try to take some more video before I have to give it back… hmm…
Anyway here is the product information about the camera itself and details of the competition to win one of your own:

So… if your dream is to take a Kodak PlaySport on Safari with you, all you need to do is to pose in a safari suit, with your little sister’s stuffed animals as the wild animals in your “safari park”… Maybe include a pot plant that can pose as a palm tree…. you get the idea.
