Videotutorial: Everyday look + My makeup collection video!

Hello!

I'm trying to be more comfortable with making videos, so here's two videos for you!

First we have a simple everyday look done with Makeup Geek shadows:

Watch the (silent) tutorial here:

No sound, because my kid was watching tv right next to me, and commenting everything, so I decided not to add sounds at all :P

And here's something you have requested for a long time, my makeup collection:


The containers holding all my loose shadows and pigments and samples are from store called Clas Ohlsson, and the black drawers are from Ikea, drawers are called 'Helmer'. Mine are OLD (10 years or older I guess, my husband has bought them before we even met), so some of the drawers don't even open anymore. :P But otherwise they are great! And the last drawer-thingie is from recycle center, so I can't really tell anything about it :/

Sweet Valentine's Day!

Here's a look I did to wish you all happy Valentine's Day!

Products used:

Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper (primer)

Sugarpill Tako

Sugarpill Dollypop & Love+

Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly

Black gel liner from Makeup Geek

Glitters from Eye Kandy;

Sweet Tart (Darkest pink in liner)

Bubble Gum (Medium pink in liner, lower lashline and "lips")

Lip print is made with OCC NSFW (I painted my lips, pressed them against thin plastic, then pressed the plastic against my lid )

Lashes are Sugarpill Flutter lashes, lower lashes from Faux

On lips there's MAC Outrageously Fun lipstick

Tutorial: Transform and roll out!

My favorite robot in the world is Optimus Prime from Transformers. (Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy comes second!)

For long I have wanted to do a look based on Optimus, I just haven't quite figured how to transform it to makeup (hehe. Transform the transformer.. :D )

Then finally it hit me. The flames of the "new Optimus"!

Few days ago I made the sketch for the look;

And here's how it turned out when I today had time to do it:

I look happy :S

One straight from phone:

Then the fun part!

TUTORIAL!

I started with priming my lid with Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper (It comes in tube now, awesome!)

Then I outlined the flames with Makeup Geek's Electric gel liner (Using superthin brush from Joe Blasco):

Then I used Sugarpill Buttercupcake, Love+ and Flamepoint to color the non-blue flames:

 Then Sugarpill Buttercupcake, Flamepoint and Tako to blend:

Then I used MUG Electric liner again to fill the blue flames:

And then Sugarpill Velocity over the Electric gel liner to seal it and to make it a bit more metallic:

Then some Electric and Velocity to lower lashline too...:

Red lip pencil to the brow, with some Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly, and black gel liner to waterline:

Mascara...:

And finally quite neutral falsies (Red Cherry #13 I think):

And the look is done!

Diu-di-diu-di-diu!

Still Alive

I'm still here.

As you may have noticed, I haven't posted anything in several months, and I'm truly sorry that I disappeared without any explanation or anything.

I didn't feel like applying bright/ interesting makeup and as I didn't do anything cool/pretty, I didn't have anything to share or write about.

Most of my daily looks since November have been either neutrals or basic smokey eyes. Some days even just plain mascara, and nothing else. My inspiration and will to apply makeup was totally gone.
I used makeup because I had to, not because I wanted to.

On top of all this, my camera started to act weird. Pics were weirdly toned, out of focus, too bright/too dark (despite the settings). So if I happened to get an inspiration, I didn't get a decent photo of the look.

During January I had to get myself a new phone, and my new phone has a pretty good camera (not as good as D-SLR of course, but good for a phone camera), and I have started slowly doing and photographing my looks again:

So there's a light at the end of the tunnel at the moment, as for my big surprise I have also gotten good photos with my D-SLR again, so yay :)

If you're interested of what I've been doing lately (with makeup I mean), go check out my facebook fanpage or my instagram.
