How to: Candy Nail Striper Nails

I've always thought Mod About You was a bit boring on my tips. I decided to shnazz it up a bit more by adding stripes. Oh the difference its made!


Method:
Two coats of Mod About You

Grabbing a nail striper brush

The process:
Start with a line in the middle, and work your way out.

 Two nails done, ding ding!

 Looking good!

Au reviour!

Colour me in: White! - NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

This Colour Me In series is a collection of posts where your beloved bloggers, Tram, Amanda, Tezza and myself will be posting about the selected shade from whatever we're able to gather from our beauty stash!
Hello my loves! When I had first gotten into makeup, NYX was the most amazing brand in the world to me. NYX this, that, EVERYTHING. I am now sitting with a bunch of lipsticks in my box of lipsticks I don't use anymore....

Well, one of my favourite NYX product (out of the many I've purchased...) is this Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

I use this product whenever I want to go for a bold look. I often forget about it, I should give it more love. I've used it for my Nicki Minaj and Creepy Doll inspired look.

Swatches
Down me arm

Blended

I chose a bright hot pink from my Manly palette of course!
Perdy

Top is without the jumbo eye pencil base and bottom is with

How I use it...
Shade half way up and blend
Apply whatever, n baaam!

With/without the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil as a base:
Quite a difference aint it!
(I've said au reviour to my flash this past week... I need a new camera!)

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Ruby - Review and Swatches

Hellooooo! I have always been on the hunt for the perfect lipstick. Whenever I see a lipstick under $12, more often than not, I will pick it up!

Lucky me to have found this gem for $5. I purchased it's sisters at a BOGOF offer for $22. 

I expected the same wear as the other two Revlon Colourburst lippies I have, and that's what I got.
 Revlon Colorburst in Ruby

Classic quilted packaging and a shade at the top, matching the product exactly


One swipe

And on my lips

And of course, a comparison between my bare lips and one swipe of Ruby:

What I loved:
*Gorgeous pigmented shade
*Moisturising

Ehhh...:
*Wears off after three hours

My verdict:
I really wish these lippies would last longer... Rev has got it all down in the moisturising department, now I'd like it to last all day please! I wouldn't purchase any more lippies from their range, I think I've already retired my options! If you want to check out anything, their Soft Nude is one of my favourites though! But I wouldn't purchase it at their retail price ($22), go on the hunt for places that sell em for cheaper!

Pricing and Available at:
Where and how much I got mine for, $5 @ Catchoftheday.com.au
Since it's quite an old product I'm sure you can get it cheaper for their RRP, I had gotten a year ago for $22 @ Priceline

Colour Me In: Black! My (once) HG Liquid Liner - Revlon Colorstay

What I find odd is that I haven’t blogged about a majority of the beauty products that I use most! One liquid liner that I’ve used since the day I discovered how to wing the perfect eyeline is this- Revlon's colourstay in blackest black.

I've repurchased this fella 3 times and it's sister, the pen liner once. Until I found s
omething even better.... (Will post about it soon hehe)


My ideal liquid liner tip :'). The key to smooth, straight lines.
h
Swaaatch time!
Two strokes, applied and dried.
Abit of drizzle under water and wiped lightly. 

This product is absolutely not waterproof. Don't expect of to be.. (Im on my phone blogging since my laptop died... if my laptop wasn't dead, I would link you to a picture of me being the aftermath of bawling my eyes out while wearing this liquid liner... not a pretty sight... nor was it a pretty morning) 

What I loved: 
- Super black! Pigmented 
- Lasts all day if you learn not to rub your eyes 
- Get the hang of the brush and I guarantee you, perfect application every time! 

Ehhhh.... 
- Oh only if it was waterproof... 

Pricing and Available at:
I see them for the markets at the cheapest, $10. I'm not sure how much retail price is but I'm sure it's much more than $15!

Well that was me sharing my (once) HG liquid liner to you 
Now hop onto the other girls posts , (refer to previous posts with links to their site hehehehe) 
Ill fix this post up tomorrow once I get my charger back.

Colour Me In: Brown! - My everyday, barely there eyeshadow routine.

This Colour Me In series is a collection of posts where your beloved bloggers, Tram, Amanda, Tezza and myself will be posting about the selected shade from whatever we're able to gather from our beauty stash!

This week is brown! The first thing boring Alice thought of when she heard brown, was eyeshadow! My flash hasn't been working on my camera so I'm forever relying on daylight! To especially make sure I didn't wake up late and had time to create this post, I pulled an all nighter. Not a good idea... I'm on my fifth cup of caffeine with 5 hours left til' home sweet home and I've microslept twice. Ohhh, joy.

Okay so this post will be showing you how I create my everyday makeup look! Just a hint of brown, and it changes the whole look up!
I apply liquid liner on a daily basis. My eyes just look odd and incomplete without it now.

NYX Round Lipstick in Power!

Method:
 1. Bare n' primed lids

2. Apply a dash of brown on the outer corners and blend both sides 
(Can you see the line on my right eye? I blended the left side already!)

 3. Apply highlighter all over lids

4.  Liquid liner timmme!
 Yay for both eyes

And finitos!

Nothing fancy but I love it!
