The lovely Becky reminded me this week that I never got around to putting up the Bergamot desktop background for you guys to download, completely slipped my mind >_<
So here it is, just click it to go to the large version and Save As. I’m thinking I’ll probably do some more of these because they’re really fun to draw so maybe something watercolour next time. Let me know if you have any requests!
Also I’m back posting on the beauty section of the blog again this week after a bit of a break. It’s taken me a while to get back into organisation mode this month but it’s back full swing again! There might be some competitions going up there this month too as well as one here so keep an eye out.
You might have noticed the new navigation bar on the top of the blog, I’ve been listening to the feedback you guys give me and I’m trying to implement at least one of them a week. This navigation bar is on pretty much every site on mine now so you should be able to navigate consistently between everything almost as if you were browsing one site. I’ll be updating the lower nav bars this week hopefully to remove any link doubles. As always, suggestions are welcome!
In video news I’ve started a second channel just for my V-Logs so if you enjoyed them feel free to subscribe over here! The main channel will be just for tutorials now and the personal stuff will be over on the V-Log channel.
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 😉
Today’s style features orange mixed with a little bit of purple. I don’t normally like browns and oranges but for some reason this look just kind of grew on me and stuck 😀 It’s quite a toned down look for me.

Time for another random morning make up video in which I do my make up and we chat.
Today I have some fun with orange eyeshadow.
I’ve never been a fan of orange but for some reason I really like this look.
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to edit this.
I started with my regular foundation routine.
I took this footage like 6 months ago.
I used a brown pencil liner to apply a medium top line.
As I’m editing this, Melbourne is having the worst heat wave.
Then half the way along the bottom lash line.
I can’t wait to live somewhere with airconditioning again.
And the other side.
I’m surviving on frozen fruit juice.
Do you guys have any favorite ways to keep cool?
I’m about ready to climb in the freezer.
I applied a creamy gold to my brow line as a highlighter.
I think maybe it’s time to move countries somewhere much colder.
So far…
I applied a terracotta orange all over the lid.
That or buy one of those fake snow machines and blast my apartment into a winter wonderland.
Next I blended and softened the look with some lavender in the corner and lash line.
If the iceskating rink here wasn’t so expensive I would totally just take a tent and live there.
Then I had an insane attack of hayfever.
Summer hayfever is the worst.
And did the lavender on the other side.
I with I could think of more cold foods to eat to cool down.
I added some very dark purple to blend to the liner.
The only things in my brain are salad and ice tea. Any ideas?
Quite a neutral look for me.
Now to close my eyes and wish it was Winter.
Add some mascara both sides.
Maybe I should try to make cold soba noodles again, that sounds yummy.
Then some 3/4 false lashes.
I don’t think I have the energy for cooking, the head just makes me sleepy.
In face I’m pretty sure all this hard work deserves a nap right?
A little more mascara on top.
Shh stop being so noisy, I’m trying to sleep guys!
And then some mascara on the outer bottom lashes.
Bleh even too hot even for sleeping.
Pink blush really makes this look pop.
I think I’ll just slowly assimilate into the couch until Autumn.
Because this is such a neutral look I kept the lips fairly plain too.
I used a slightly pink lipstick with a nude gloss.
So hot I can’t even think of anything funny to say.
Ant that’s all there is to it!
Hopefully it will be a bit coller next time and I’ll have more energy.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
Brush: Don’t like that it has a flat top, makes it harder to grip for painting. Don’t mind the actual brush, fairly flexible and thick.
Drying Time: Roughly the same for all of them. Reasonably quick drying time.
Colour Name:
Not listed
Good for:
-Conservative styles
-Leopard print
Would I buy Camouflage Nail Polish again: It’s not bad, the consistency is pretty good but the colours don’t really appeal to me. I would be interested in other colours but not these and I would prefer different brushes.
