It was last minute last Wednesday night that Tram and I decided to go to the Beauty Workshop held by Priceline & Cosmopolitian the next day!

Neither of us has ever been to one of Priceline's Workshops before but I'm sure I've seen it in their newletters but hadn't thought much of it... But luckily we had decided to go! 

I had a lot of fun since it was so interesting seeing how renowned MUA, Helen Dowsley applied the latest trends on two people from the audience - one of the special people chosen was a fellow blogger, Katherine! (She just started blogging this month! You should check her blog out!)  

 Helen Dowsky working her magic doing a 'Hollywood themed' makeup look on Katherine!

She looked amazing afterwards, the red lip really suits her!

 Meeting the gorgeous Leigh & very talented Helen!

All thoroughout the evening Tram and been saying how she was craving cupcakes,
so she bought us one each - The cutie!

She bought me a Red Velvet cupcake and got herself a Vanilla one!
It was the first time I've ever tried Red Velvet - So yum! (I must learn how to make it...)

Oh my gosh... the items we had gotten in our goodie bag!
Not only this, but they had given us a copy of this month's Cosmo magazine with an extra section just about makeup! I love it!

I'm eager to try the Nail foils, Garnier scrub and Volumising powder!
I have already tried the Nad's facial wax and to put it short- it's brilliant!

Thanks for reading!

I previously did a rainbow look in 2010, here.

(I don't know why I didn't blog about it.... I was trying to look for the post!!)

This variation is more subtle since I'm only focusing the colour along my upper lash line.

I like both looks though!

 Using a white base, I'm using NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil..

Line along your lashline, this will be the base of you eyeshadow so it will be completely covered!

You don't have to be too careful since you can remove the unwanted base after this step.

I lined my upper eyelid how I wanted my eyeshadow to wing out, apply it like you would with liquid eyeliner, but thicker! 

 Using makeup remover with a Q-tip, 

Clean out the edges so it's soft and straight.

My makeup removed is oil based so I dabbed my eyelid with a tissue so it wasn't slippery anymore.

Step 5. 

 Now grab all the colours you want to use! I used the colours of the rainbow, in that very order.

So from the inner corners of my eyes Red>Orange>Yellow>Green>Blue>Purple

I started with red in each corner and with each colour I added, I patted it onto the previous colour softly so it would create a gradient effect.

Step 6. 

 Once your satisfied, clean up any unwanted eyeshadow fall out and remove the tape! 

Yay, a nice clean pointy line!

Step 7.

 Line eyes, apple white eyeliner to your bottom water line, apply mascara to bottom lashes, curl and apply falsies!

You're done!!!

Yay! I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and found it useful.

Thanks for viewing!

Two coats of 'Blackmail'

The Australis flakie is not only gorgeous but it serves with a topcoat and strengthens nails too!

 (Well we'll just have to see about the strengthening bit...)

Brush for the flakie, look at those pretty little specks!

2 layers of Speck-tacular on my nails on top of Blackmail!

And 3 days later...

'Speck-tacular on top of 'Blackmail'

Left to Right: 'Blackmail' alone, 1 layer of 'Speck-tacular', 2 layers of 'Speck-tacular'

Gorgeous isn't it? I would like if the specks were a teensy bit bigger though!

I would love if Australis from this point, were to create more unique nail polishes that no other drugstore brand has, like holographics, magnetic and super super glittery ones! 

Available at:

Leading retailers and pharmacies (Big W, Priceline, Target, etc)

Price:

RRP $8.99

 Cutesy pretty packaging just for Valentine's Day! I had been expecting quite a bit from this box since it was Valentines Day.

It also came in a sturdy pink box, I can't wait to reuse it! 

 Lovely packaging! 

Products in the box:

When I read 'Nail files' I pictured a 15~20cm nail file... The nail files turned out to be my favourite item in the box...

Ahhhh! So cute! 'Star and Rose' Emergency Nail Files. It came in rows of six which are detachable from the base!

I love it! It's so handy too since they're so compact and it is quite often when I break a nail and need to file it away!

Lollies, I knew these would taste like Rockets straight away as soon as I saw it! 

Aww and they even had prints of cute little messages on each lolly!

Overall, I'm okay with this box. I don't really care so much about tanning, mascaras and even if I fall in love with the Proactive deep cleansing wash ($39.99), I would not repurchase since it's over $20.

I have never heard of 'Polished London' ($7.99), the shade looks lovely though! Different from any other shade I have.

I noticed that there are different variations of this February Valentine's Edition box.
I wish I had gotten the 'Spongeables' sponge heart in my box... Looks so exciting!

I'll stick around for the next box and see how that goes ☺.

I decided to do girly nude sparkly nails for Valentines Day!

It was fun and didn't require much effort *yay 

Post on how I spent Valentine's Day here

Used:

Ulta3 in Allure

BYS Pink

L.A. Colours Nail Art Polish

I didn't have a baby pink so I mixed a dark pink, a drop of Allure and two drops of a white nail polish.

I haven't used a top coat over the rhinestone yet! I've been expecting it to fall off by now... Hehe.
The little hearts on my middle finger and thumb look really sloppy but from far away they look fine!
