not that great?



this is the infamous 187 brush by mac that everyone seems to be lusting after
now although i didnt purchased the £29.00 version of this stippling brush, i got a fairly good cheaper dupe
and all i can say is whats the hype about?
all it seems to do is push my foundation around my face and in the end it just looks cakey
im guessing this is what its meant to do to create the 'flawless' look
i have since moved on to a much better way of applying my foundation
costs me nothing :p
my fingerrrrs
yes the simplest thing
the other day round my bf's i was doing my make up and realized my stippling brush was veryyyy dirty and hadnt been washed in ages, so instead of using it i put it to one side and resorted to using my hands
i was shocked at how much of a different there was
my foundation was even and non-cakey :D
also instead of one big pump from my mac SSF i used 1/4 pumps and waited for the product to settle on my face before doing another layer
this helped loads!
so there ya have it
just because somethings insanely expensive doesnt mean it'll do the job any better then something that costs nothing :p
by no means am i saying that the brush itself is not good, but the finger technique seems to work better for me

1st palette

this is a blog about my first mac palette
i've already shown you all my new eyeshadows but i never posted about my old depotted ones^^
i depotted them on my old sexy pink GHD's :p
and got a lil high off the fumes

mostly neutrals, some new brighter colours to spice up the more natural looks


L-R
smut ~ tempting ~ amberlights ~ swish
honesty ~ bronze ~ sumptuous olive ~ stars n rockets
shroom ~ phloof! ~ aquadisiac ~ beauty marked ~ nocturnelle

for an everyday look i normally like to pair shroom + honesty + bronze for a subtle smokey look
for a more glamourous look i pair phloof! + stars n rocket + nocturnelle + beauty marked

still need two more shadows so any colours that i need? give me some suggestions :)
although i might press some of my barry m pigments in the future
i'll let you know how that works out ;)

NOTD!

excuse the crappy iphone picture

this is collection 2000's Minx
and its everything i could ask for in a polish!!!
it does chip slightly but it makes up for that with the nicest sparkly purple/pink colour
i love purple nails and this is by far my favourite!

stud muffin

apart from wolf t-shirts and moccasins i have a big lusting for anything covered in pyramid studs
very 'old skool' of me im sure, but i just think they look so darn sexy
and end up jazzing-up simple outfits

studs


Burberry Nella Studded Satchel

this is the bag of all stud bags
although i'll probably never own/see one in my lifetime:(
but after seeing Kelly's blogpost about her diy stud bag i knew what i had to do!
i plan on buying a cheapish (seeing as i have a track record for not being too great at diy :p) black leather bag and studs!
a great website for studs is StudsandSpikes, they offer a wide range of sizes and even colours
and tbh while im at it i think i'll add some studs to my jeans and leather jacket ;)
stud crazy :p

WANT!!!

what a difference!

whilst messing around with photobooth on my mac i put my hair into a center parting
i havent had one since i was 12 lol
so it was abit of a shock but does it really look that bad? hmm

...my iphone!

so a week ago i jailbroke my iphone (naughty i know but my contracts nearly up, cor 2 years goes quickly >.<) now this isnt new as i first hacked into it ages ago and added a World of Warcraft theme on to it :p but this time i made my very own theme! it took me a while but once i got the hang of it it came out really good now this is my main problem with iphones i like to customize my phones the way i like them apple doesnt really give you this option :/ although i wouldnt reccomend this if your abit of a tech n00b i'll probably change it next week :p




i'd like a blingbling case or something pretty
