just breathe

I am not blogging nearly enough at the moment, not as much as I want to anyway. I have some stuff going on, some good, some bad.
I have been trying to network so I can have a portfolio started. This started out a bit rough, with one photographer organising 2 shoots with me, both of which fell through, due to his scatterbrained, poor planning. Thankfully he has gone back to the States so I don't have to worry about him again.
The Good news is that I have really started networking with Photographers and Models on Model Mayhem. I have 2 shoots lined up this week, which is exciting! Can't wait to get the pics back and post them up.
I have a great friend who is a fantastic hairdresser and we are trying to get shoots together, to do the whole hair/makeup team thing, which will be fun.
Some shitty personal stuff is going down at the moment. I hope and pray that it all works out. Staying positive is such a hard thing to do sometimes.

eyes open

Building a makeup kit is expensive, but there are some products out there that are pretty darn good that don't cost you an arm and a leg.

I have a sweet range of Rimmel London eyeliners and lipliners which have great pigment are long lasting and very well priced, especially if you get them on sale!

Here are some of my most recent colours I have purchased in the Soft Kohl:

Royal Blue, Stormy Grey, Sable Brown & Jungle Green

and Exaggerate waterproof eye definers in: Deep Ocean, Precious Gold & Deep Wine

Here's a look I quickly did to show you with the Deep Wine & Precious Gold liners with my Yaby best of both worlds pallette. Pics taken with my phone, so not the best :)

Saviour

Not so long ago I wrote about my new exciting purchases from Sunny Day Beauty here.
Now let me tell you...
When I opened up that Urban Decay pack and started using the Primer Potion my life changed... seriously! Never have I applied my eye makeup, gone to work and still had it sitting perfectly on my eyelids when I get home 9 hours later... until now. The eyeshadow colours pop, the primer really grabs the shadow. The colour will stay and not slide off, so awesome.
Just pop a few dots of this on the lid area and blend and away you go!

soft as silk

Here's some pics of my new brushes, I needed a few extras on top of what I already have so I was crazy to pass up the pre Christmas sale at my favourite supplier www.makeupandglow.com.au

I have 5 new Royal & Langnickel brushes that were a bargain!

from the SILK range a Angled shader, lip, small eyeshadow, eyeliner and fine angled brush. All natural hair, with a matte black wooden handle and chrome plated brass ferrules - very attractive brushes.

Also purchased no name foundation, concealer, contour/blush and large eyeshadow brushes. These are incredibly dense, soft bristles. I was lucky enough to score another large shadow brush free, gotta love Christmas!

cold blooded

have no idea why I did this, but tonight I was bored, headed for the bathroom and came out looking like, I dunno... a reptile? I got stuck into my Yaby 40 well best of both worlds palette and a bit of OCC loose colour.

Stranger things have happened.
