MAC haul

February 2, 2015February 7, 2015by Dr Angela Nx4 Comments

Hi beauties,

On a recent trip to MAC cosmetics I purchased some goodies which I can’t wait to try out.

1.MINERALISE SKINFINISH HIGHLIGHTER:

Described as a luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. This powder is a pressed powder highlighter and comes in 5 different shades. I got the Gold Deposit shade. I actually wanted the Iridescent powder but its been discontinued. Apparently Mac has discontinued many lines this past year.

2.PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER:NW40,

I will use this to highlight

3.STUDIO FIX FOUNDATION:NW44

I wanted to try a matte foundation for my combination skin. I know it can be quite heavy if too much is applied. It looked nice on in the store, but then it always does. ..

4. FLUIDLINE EYE-LINER GEL:

5.TECHNAKOHL EYELINER -RISQUE:

MAC products may not always be the most penny friendly cosmetics on the market, but they are also not the most expensive and they do produce some quality items. I will do a post on good less expensive alternatives which I also use. Have you used any of these? How did you find them?

I’m looking forward to using these products and will let you know how I get on.

Until next time..

Back with a smokey eye….

Hi beauties,

Its been a while since I posted due to various reasons. One being that I travelled, then on my return I caught the flu a few times and was completely knocked out. But I’m back now and I must say I have missed you and my blog. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New year – I know it was ages ago :-). Its hard to believe that we are fast approaching the end of January already….

This is a smokey eye that I tried using the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. This palette has more cooler tones like silvers and shimmery neutrals when compared with the original Naked palette.c

To create this look:

Eyelid: Verve

Midlid: Chopper

Crease: Busted

Above crease: Tease

Outer v: Blackout

Inner eye: Verve

Lashes: Ardell Demi WispiesWhat do you think of this look?

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to seeing you in the next one.

Naked eyes…

September 20, 2014September 20, 2014by Dr Angela Nx4 Comments

Hi guys,

I have never claimed to be a makeup artist, but I do enjoy makeup. So I guess I’m more of a makeup enthusiast!

So this is how I did my eye makeup the other day, using my Urban Decay Naked 3 eyeshadow palette. I wasn’t sure about this palette at first. I wondered if these colours would compliment my skin tone, but I must say, I’m quite loving it. I have never really worn pink shades before, but if you put the right colours together and create a smokey eye, you get quite a nice bright finish… 🙂

I wore this look during the day at the weekend. I wanted an understated, but made up look.
