Maybelline ColorSensational Lipglosses in Wine All Mine and Plum-tastic

Yes, I brought these lipglosses a few weeks back and she had more today and I just grabbed it since they are $2 each. At stores, they retail for $15. Adding this to blog giveaway -- they are brand new, still sealed.

Another brand new item I got is this Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder. I did a review on this product once upon a time. Click here.

I'm happy to get this for $2 too with the lip glosses and it's brand new. The sticker of the holes are still on there and I'm really looking forward to re-using this, because the translucent powder I am using right now gives off a white cast.. So boo!

I WILL transfer some product into a small sample for the giveaway also! Hope you guys don't mind :P

That's all for today... :) End of day totals up to $6.

Here's my NOTD!

And then I decided to bling bling it up... But it didn't look too good!! I will find another design which will suit the little bling bling better!

That's all for today guys. Sydney's weather is SO gloomy today. It's raining.. all wet and stuff. Quite upsetting.. Boo!

Have a goodnight everyone!

Yours deerest,

Back2Basic: General Rules of Colours (Make-Up) + My take on Sandara Park's Can't Nobody look

Hello hello!

Hope you girls been having a great Thursday/Friday and all you Oz fellas are enjoying the free samples! Yey!!!

Anyways.. let's go let's go!

Rule #1: Colours advance or recede.

Bright colours advance and make an area appear larger! Dull & dark colours recede and make an area appear smaller!

For example:

• To make smaller lips appear bigger, use a lighter colour with a gloss or shimmer.
• To make large lips appear smaller, use a dark matte colour.
• Wearing black will make you look skinnier and white will exaggerate that particular body part. For example, if I had a stomach and a smaller booty, I'd be wearing a black shirt and white pants.

Yap yap...

Rule #2: Colour steals colour

Ok.. listen... just because you have blue eyes and want to make your eyes pop even MORE... it doesn't mean you gotta use blue eyeshadow.. you could opt for a purple eyeshadow [for true-blue eyes]. However, if you STILL prefer blue eyeshadow, remember to use a light shade of blue.

Why?

Because if you place a brighter blue next to a pale blue, the bright blue will definitely be the centre of attention, therefore will steal away the blue of your eyes instead of doing the opposite! Boo!

Rule #3: Colour reflect colours

Okay, so some colours DO reflect other colours better than stealing it.

Warm colours: red, yellow and orange
Cool colours: blue, violet and green

Saying this, if you happen to have acne or any red scars or skin conditions which causes redness, wearing a warm colour of clothing WILL reflect the redness in your skin.

Other examples:

• A red lipstick with cool tone will make your yellow teeth appear whiter. Whereas, if you wear a red lipstick with a warm-tone based, your teeth will appear even more yellow. Boo!
• A yellow shirt, even though not red, can make you appear more pink if you happen to have acne scars or couperose skin or even, a pinky complexion.

It's hard spotting out if a lipstick shade has a cool or warm tone to it... however for Visual Arts students, it should be fairly easy. Here's a good swatch picture I found on Google:

sourced >

Now.. we can't have a condition or anything which gives us a green-ness or blue-ness, unless it's bruises or dark-circles [still consider it please!].

Examples include:

• If you have extreme dark circles, black eyeliner or eyeshadow on your bottom lash line should be avoided because this will make an emphasis on dark circles! Boo!
• Paleness with a green tone... wearing blue, green or purple can make you look paler. So do opt for something with a warmer undertone.

Rule #4: Colours absorb colours

Dull colours will absorb more light than bright, shiny colours. Eg. If your hair is rough and greasy, it should appear darker than it really is.

^^ Ok, this rule, I don't understand LOL Someone please explain.

That is all for today's lesson! Thanks for reading guys! Hope this post helps you guys ALOT, because it DID help me LOL :D at least I know not to wear warm colours when I don't conceal my redness! Yey!

On another note, here's today inspired make-up :(

Sandara Park's look in 'Can't Nobody' Music Video

Do NOTE that 'inspired' means my own take on it. It doesn't necessarily mean that the eye makeup will look exactly the same. No shit talkers, please.

Definitely should've extended the wings out more and bring the shadow higher!

And yes, I've used purple eyeshadow which isn't visible in webcam at all! :(

I'm LOVING the lip colour!! turns out to be a pinky-coral which is REALLY nice! I'll swatch for you soon! Yayz!! Another favourite lip combo :)

The lighting is quite bad for the webcam photos, so yup.. my camera is still charging... So I'll see if I gathered any OK pictures on it, since I'm not very photogenic. LOL

After all, girls only wanna look [at least] presentable!

Have a goodnight!
