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 is pink and blue glitter stripes

Time for another video in which I try out a new look and chat about my boring life. Yay.
Today is pink and blue.
Start with your regular foundation routine and add some highlighter under the brows.
I tend to get pinker the more stressful my week had been.
Add mascara to your top lashes.
This week had been pretty stressful, we had fraudulent transactions on your account.
Apply large false lashes.
So I’ve been talking to the bank all week which is pretty much my least favorite hobby.
Frustrating.
Get grumpy after realising you left half of your make up in another room.
See it had been a good week haha.
Apply a thin stripe of liquid liner.
I think the level of glitter I use is also directly proportional to my mood.
Apply purple shimmer stick to the crease and blend with a finger.
What do you all do to relax and unwind when your day sucks?
Apply matt pink shadow all over the lid and blend up to the purple.
I tend to either through myself into work or try to have a movie night with lots of junk food.
I’m going through a serious 90’s teen comedy kick at the moment.
The last one we watched was the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Use a small brush to add a line of blue matte shadow to the outer 1/3rd above the liner.
What were your favorite move from the 90’s? I am a massive sucker for Clueless.
Add pink glitter to the inner corner blending up and across diagonally.
I totally want to have an outfit picker like Cher one day.
Very simple to do, pity I didn’t see eyeliner bleeding on the left eye.
this is the problem with having a camera in front of the mirror.
Add some light lippy so it doesn’t take away from the eyes. Next time I’m thinking maybe 10 Things I Hate About You. Though I don’t think I liked it when it came out.
So that’s it, not really my best or most detailed look but I still like it and I love experimenting with colour.
All it needs it some big wavy hair to match.
Send me some feel good movie recommendations.
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!
It’s been a very hectic week >_< But I’m very glad that this coming week doesn’t involve any events or going out so I can stay home, catch up on work and get on top of everything I’ve been neglecting… *pointed looks at my Tamagotchi*
It will get done though and I’m half way through cleaning out my closet so I’ve found a whole heap of new craft projects ready to get done haha!
Also this week I’ll be starting monthly competitions in which the prizes will be the finished objects from tutorials I’ve made. This means I’ll be able to branch out into different styles and also have more space to do other projects! Let me know if there’s anything you guys would like to see in a competition in particular?
Ok that’s all from me for now, I hope you enjoy the videos ^_^ This week’s lot are a bit different than my usual style but I had fun making them anyway!
Morning Make Up is super green this time!
I did a trial of Bare Minerals foundation and James filmed it all. Full review coming soon.

Bare Minerals Bare Escentuals Event.
During the consultation with the make up artist I was matched to the lightest foundation colour.
There are 12 shades and two finishes.
We spoke in depth about the brand and the philosophy behind everything.
As always, step 1 is primer.
Then the powder application is all about technique.
You pour some powder into the lid and swirl the brush in until there is none left. Tap off any extra.
Buff it onto the face in a circular motion.
This apparently activates the minerals and provides even coverage.
They did half of my face so I could see the difference and try applying myself.
She applied for a medium coverage so it didn’t cover my freckles.
Now to try myself.
Swirl, tap and buff.
The coverage was good but in the store lights it looked a bit orange toned for my pink skin.
After experimenting at home, I now use BB Cream as a base then apply Bare Minerals over the top.
This gives my my designed finished and matches my tine perfectly.
Next we used the Multi-Task Face Bisque as concealer. I was concerned this would sink into my fine lines but it was fine.
Overall the system felt a little dry for my skin to be used without a base.
Next was time for the Warmth All Over Face Colour.
Same technique: swirl and tap.
I wasn’t sure the colour we used suited me but I’m biased because I don’t use bronzer and usually prefer pale looks.
This was applied in a “backwards 3” shape to each side of the face to provide definition.
And last was blush, this was again a different shade to what I would usually pick but it looked fantastic on the make up artist.
The finished look!
They had beginners kits with all the brushes included too.
I had a lot of fun trying out the Bare Minerals range and I was surprised how much I liked it as I’m not usually a fan of powder foundation.
So overall impressions of my Bare Escentuals experience.
I liked the quality of the foundation, by itself it was a little drying on my already dry skin but I am still sing it today with BB Cream as a base.
More detailed information and thoughts in the post linked in the description.
Overall it was a fun experience.
Thanks for watching.

Not so much a round up but the only video I managed to upload this week…
To make up for it, here are a bunch of fun random photos that James took of miss Chia, Alice and I when we met up last week 😀 These are my favorites of the bunch!

Sleek Side Ponytail Hair Instructions
Today I’m doing my twist on the standard side ponytail.
Grab a small section from the top on one side and brush over to the other side.
Grab a little more from the side and pull it all around to the back.
Twist it slightly so it has a little volume and pin in place.
You can see the twist better from the back.
Pull the rest of your hair around to the same side and into a low ponytail.
There are plenty of ways you can finish it off, my two favorites are wrapping a little hair around to cover the band.
Or use a stretchy pearl choker as a hairband.
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!
