Tumblr

Does anyone use it? I made an account a while ago but just recently started understanding & becoming more interested in it. I'll be making quick little posts on there relating mostly to makeup, but also to food, fashion, and whatever else I feel like posting. Follow me & post your link here if you have one : )

Old look-BBB

So this is an old makeup look of mine that I did last year but it is still one of my favorites. I did this for a 'Lush inspired' makeup contest on Youtube. I was inspired by the retro bath bomb "Bon Bain Bonnard" from Lush . A lot of people asked how I created the "splatter" effect. I used a wide, flat paint brush dipped in pigment & moisturizer (which acted as a 'mixing medium')and did flicking motions with the brush. And also I used a Mac shadestick for my liner. I've been wanting to do another look using this "splatter" technique but with different colors...Will do eventually.

Prize haul & thanks to tknokitten on YT

So in February I won Tknokitten's makeup contest on YouTube in which I did a "sultry" Valentine's Day look. I've recieved all of the prizes now & so this is a thank you to her and the sponsors from that contest, I appreciate it! : )




One of the items I recieved was the pink professional brush kit from Sigma Makeup, which I thought was very generous so thank you Sigma!

My sister thought it would be funny to use the powder brush as a microphone. She was also very excited to open the package when it came in the mail, probably more excited than I was, hah.






This was the makeup look:

Lush haul 12/09-1/10

I've gone crazy with bath products, especially Lush, in the last month, especially with the B1G2F soap sale that they had this month. Yesterday I recieved my two retro items that I ordered through phone-Banana Moon Soap & Sonic Death Monkey shower gel. The shipping was pretty expensive since it shipped here (California) from Canada...They also sent me two small samples of Herbalism cleanser & The Blonde solid shampoo (My hair isn't blonde though). I'm in love with Snow Fairy, I don't know what to compare its scent to, but I lovelovelove it.

These are the products my mom, sister, and I got:

-Chox away soap

-Noubar soap

-Snow cake soap (Holiday limited edition)

-I shouldCoco soap

-Honey I washed the Kids soap

-Angel's delight soap

-Banana Moon soap (retro)

-Snow fairy shower gel (Holiday limited edition)

-Sonic Death Monkey shower gel (retro)

-Vanilla body dust

-Coconut deodorant powder

I haven't used the Sonic Death Monkey yet, but I was kind of dissapointed that it's very strong on the coffee/hemp smell, I was hoping the chocolate would be stronger but we'll see. I also want to try 13 Rabbits, hopefully that will be more chocolatey.

Banana Moon smells a little like those Banana Head candies that used to be in candy machines.

I also got the Philosophy Pumpkin Spice shower gel for Christmas, which I am in love with also.

Let me know if you guys have any questions about any of these products :)
