Taylor Momsen Smiles ^_^

I've always had a bit of an affinity towards young Miss Momsen since her Gossip Girl days & subsequent rebellion into uber Rock Chick Bad Girl. Despite being one of the moodiest looking teens to , ermm, grace the glossies, she definitely has one of the prettier faces, with or without makeup!

(Click on pics to enlarge)

 Ms. Momsen without the slap!!

I am one of those relatively few people who adore her "racoon" eyemakeup look (when applied correctly) and in these pics it is absolute makeup perfection with fake lashes applied to both top & bottom.

Precision pen liner..... Fine lining!

It took me a while to latch onto the marker-like eyeliners, (that came onto the market relatively recently), initially but I am at last converted.... well kind of!!
It depends on the quality obviously but this can vary widely. The first I ever tried was the Eyelure pen which is decent to be fair but dries up way too quickly during application.... major points lost.
I tried the Mac "Penultimate" liner next which again is decent but the nib just isn't quite as sturdy-while-being-fine as I'd like, and line work isn't as delicate with it pretty early on which is also sucky.

Recently I got my grubby little fingers on "Velvet... by Migi Cosmetics" by way of Heather (Sokolum79 ....again thank you!!)

Now this is a pen worth blogging about! Unfortunately Migi is a brand I've never come across here at my end of the world, I think I've only heard it being mentioned during various youtube videos.
But I believe that it's widely available throughout the US & Canada etc.

Product of the Week; Collection 2000 "16hrs wear Lasting Perfection concealer"

Well!!!

I discovered this little gem from watching Pixiwoo videos and them raving about this cheap but apparently amazing concealer. Now, I am a fan of Collection 2000 in general especially considering the price but have never bothered with their base makeup before, (ie. foundation, concealer etc) as I have found in my experience that it's usually better to pay the little extra for that stuff to be good.
Oh how wrong was I!!!

❤Hair❤Crush❤..... Emma Stone

Hey Everyone:)
If you follow me on twitter ye may have seen this picture I posted of the lovely Emma Stone showing her hair evolution to the gorgeous light red shade she's sporting at the mo.....

Product of the Week; Wet 'n' Wild "Fast dry" nail color in 237C "Gray's Anatomy"

Hey Guys!!
Finally can get back to my POTW's now that I'm back in action on the net!
Meet Wet 'n' Wild's "Fast dry" nail color in 237C "Gray's Anatomy"

The pictures unfortunately do not do the colour justice, the pink shot-through "duo chrome" effect is much stronger in real life natural light!

Bright Butter Yellow Lids ^_^

Hey Everyone!!
Finally back again with a new tutorial for ye all after my unfortunate lack of internet and very unintentional absence. This is the last video that I recorded in my old apartment before moving out!! So, looking forward to a new makeup room and filming background coming soon ^_^

Face Routine May '11.

Hey Everyone!!!
I know it's been ages since I uploaded a video here due to not having internet but I was able to use my sister's internet so I will be able to hopefully upload a couple more before I get mine back up & running!

Anyhu, here's my current face routine using my favourite products of the moment!

NYX Makeup Artist Kit.

Howdy Guys:)
So I found myself today in possession of this makeup kit from NYX Cosmetics after a trip to my local beauty supply store to buy false lashes for a wedding job this week.  I'm the worst impulse buyer ever! Ha ha. Anyhow, the shop in question will no longer be selling NYX so I was having a look at the products to see if there was anything I fancied. There was nothing I wanted from the permanent 'single' range but I saw this palette by the till and just had to have it of course!!
It cost me $42 (Which is good for Ireland for this type of palette, google "rip-off Ireland", lol;P) 

and after playing with it all day think it is really good for the price but not an overly amazing palette in of itself.

Prom, Ball, Debs or Bridal Makeup!! (Using Inglot eyeshadows)

Hey Guys ^_^

So as it's definitely the start of bridal season at the moment as well as about the time when College Balls, Debs dances, proms and graduation parties are all happening too!
