eye liners 101

Eyeliner 101
It’s all about eyeliners..
I have always been crazy over eyeliners for no apparent reason.. just love having that black line on my eyes J
ok.. so let me talk about eyeliners..
the different types that they come in and what they are for..

So 1st up pencil eyeliners..
The most common form of eyeliner and I would definitely recommend this for beginners as it is the easiest one to control. It comes in two forms
Pencil and the auto pencil eyeliner
The traditional pencil liner is the type where it is needed to be sharpen and the auto one is the one where u just need to twist it.. the pencil liners are easy to use but it is hard to achieve the one fine thin line J my current recommendation is maybeline unstoppable eyeliner price unavailable or MAC’s technakohl AUD 32

2nd is the liquid liner..
My current fav good for lining the eyes to achieve the one fine thin line.. tough I wouldn’t recommend it to beginners as it is a lil hard to control and it easily smears. My current fav is the revelon colorstay liquid eyeliner AUD 22

3rd is the gel eyeliner
Good for also achieving the fine thin line and highly recommended to line the water line.. for this a eyeliner brush is needed and the gel liner comes in a pot like the one in the picture.. my current fav is the MAC’s fluidline AUD32 highly recommended or a substitute could be BYS gel liner AUD4

4th eye shade stick
It looks like the pencil liner but it is fatter and comes in many various colours such as green, pink etc. many use this as an eyeshadow base and also to line their lower lids.. easy to use and very blendable..
My inexpensive recommendation would be the NYX jumbo pencil AUD4 which is the substitute for MAC’s shade stick AUD 32
So I hope that helped.. any comments or questions just comment me k??

the look for less

sounds good huh? :) I created a simple yet attractive look with just a tube top, a pair of shorts and a pair of pumps and guess what?? i achieved this look below AUD50 sounds great rite :)

from Top purple tube top SG$ 10 (bought in singapore), Black shorts AUD 10, pumps AUD 5

see how easy it is to create a look for less :)

MAC Vs Makeup store

GUYS when i say MAC what comes to mind??

IPOD, Notebook.........

NOOOOOO...

i'm talking abt MAC makeup haha

who ever told u that diamonds were girls best friends??

for me i would say it's the 2nd best cuz makeup is the best :)

so MAC as we all know the ever famous MAC cosmetics which are good in quality BUT high in price what u pay is what u get.. makeup store on the other hand is a swedish makeup brand similiar in quality to MAC i would say comparable not 100% the same yet lighter on the pocket :)

definiatly recommended if u r hesitating to that much on MAC

plus if u be a member for AUD 20 a year u will be able to enjoy a 10% discount on normal purchases and 20% during the members day.. how good is that? compared to MAC which never has discounts :)

here is the picture of the MAC eyeshadow that i have VS the makeup store one

yeah if u r wondering the MAC one is called PRINT and the makeup store one is in POLLUTION both suitable for the smokey eyes

and as u can notice the MAC 1 is smaller than the MAKEUP store one yet cheaper in price

so y not give it a try ? :)

oh ya

and if you are wondering where to get them makeup store is available at The Gardens at Mid valley and Pavillion..

while it is available at Broadway in Sydney :) go visit http://www.makeupstore.se/ to browse through their products.

Shopping for a good cause?

what comes to mind when i say shopping???

hurray it's shopping time :)

when is it never shopping time haha ladies i'm sure u just have to agree with me..

wana shop but tight on budget? or wanna shop but yet wana feel good and not guilty abt it?

here are some bargain deals that i found at a local store called Vinny's

for those of u who live outside Australia here is a lil info abt it:

it's a non profit organization that receives items such as clothes, shoes, books and appliances from the public and they sell them for charity

the revenue goes to various charity homes and welfare activities i.e battered women, child abuse etc.

ok here is what i bought just the other day. my great finds :)

two pairs of almost brand new shoes that fitted me perfectly 2 for only AUD 10

wow what a steal and i saw that the original price of the heels at the place where the owner bought it was AuD 40

white halter neck sun dress.. awww it was so cute that i just had to get it :) AUD 5

and again it was almost brand new

shopping yet guilt free :) remember it's for a good cause :P

if u r in Australia do check this place out u never know what u may find just like

me

L-R sun dress, cute bronze wedges and Black pumps
