Sunday night haul

Now I know I'm on a spending ban!

But there were a couple of specials I couldn't pass up this week!  With Big W and Target having sales, I just HAD to get something.

Face of Australia Cleansing Wipes - I got these for only $1.46 I believe.  Big W had FOA $3 off and I though yup, these will be useful.

Australis Nudist palette - After all the fuss about this palette on Beauty Heaven, I just had to get this as soon as I found it.  I searched three different Target's for it and finally found it today :)  I'm planning on doing a swatch post tomorrow for you guys :)

Designer Brands Got the Blues for Mauve palette - I go to see Chicks at the Flicks monthly at my local Event Cinemas and each month you get a goodie bag.  This was in my bag this month.  The white colour is stunning! I used it to do my Sea Inspired Eyes tutorial.

Max Factor nail polish in Diva Violet - With Big W having $5 off Max Factor, this nail polish was only 48c!

Alberto Balsalm Clarifying Shampoo - My hair has felt a little gross the past couple of weeks and I've put it down to silicone build up.  My local Amcal sells these for $2.99 and this is a great clarifying shampoo.  It's really gentle but quite effective.

I also got my April BellaBox this week so I've been having loads of fun trying out those products.  I'm really happy because the Benefit foundation that I thought would be way to dark for me actually blends into my skin quite well!  Winning!

I also purchased all the goodies for my giveaway this week.  Don't forget to enter!

Tutorial - Sea inspired eyes

Hi Pretties

I know I had an eye post earlier today.  But I wanted to show you a quick tutorial on how I did my eyes for a family dinner tonight!  Tonight I had sea inspired eyes :)

The whole look is to the left.  I kept the rest of my face very minimal with only a dusting of blush (Models Prefer Desk to Date) and a lip gloss (Essence My Favourite Milk Shake).

 Products used

Step 1 - Prime your eyes.  I've used Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study

Step 2 - Apply a frosted or shimmer white on the inner half of your lid into the tear duct, and take below the eye again only half way across.  I've used the white from my DB Got the Blues for Mauve palette.  This is amazingly pigmented for how cheap it is.

Step 3 - Take a blue/green colour and apply to the outer part of your lids, and under the eye as a liner across the outer half of the eye.  I used a colour from my 88 shimmer palette.  You can get these from ebay or Coastal Scents.

Step 4 - Take the same colour and apply to the outer crease and v.  I like to keep the look simple as I think it is more effective with just the two colours and no darker colours.

Step 5 - Apply a highlight - I like Mac Blanc Type as it matte where the rest of my eye is a frost and shimmer.

Step 6 - Apply eyeliner to your entire water line.  I used Rimmel Exaggerate eye definer.

Step 7 - Line your lid.  I used Maybelline Master Precise liquid liner.

Step 8 - Curl your lashes and apply mascara.  I used Loreal Extra Volume Collagene mascara.


Here is the finished product!

That's my look for this evening!
