Day Eight: Green and Pink

I knew there was something I forgot to do yesterday.. and I didn’t remember until I had already taken my makeup off… so oops!  Doesn’t matter though, because you’ll get an extra makeup dose to fill in the days by the end of the week; I have people coming over on Sunday, I think it is, so makeup is necessary.
Today is a very simple bit of makeup because I ran out of time, so I just contoured with olive green and used pink on the eyelid; not very creative, but I only have fifteen minutes before I had to leave.  Oops.  Let me know what you think.

Day Six: Electric Blue

Today has not been a good day… I woke up an hour before my alarm because I could hear my parents stomping around the house getting ready for the day, then the washing machine decided that there was too much stuff in it, so it didn’t work, and it took far longer than it should have to find a nice outfit to wear today.  x.x
Anyway, today’s makeup is blue, because Sarah suggested it.  I hardly ever wear blue eyeshadow, although I worship my liner, so I hope I didn’t do it too badly.  Let me know what you think!

Day Five: Olive Branch

Went down to the mall last night because there were a few sales on.. and spent nearly all the money in my bank account; I have $30 left out of $190! I got a new shirt- only cost 10 dollars, GREAT buy- and some new skincare products from Za. I now own their Cleansemax water-based cleanser, which left my skin feeling so smooth and soft I swear I fell in love with it instantly. I also got the True White powder, that goes with their True White skincare range, and that left my skin feeling like silk.

I got a new ModelCo lipgloss (Wonderfull Lip Plumper in ‘Warm Chestnut’), a Burt’s Bees pomegranate oil and beeswax lip balm, and a new setting powder, by Nude by Nature.

Today’s makeup comes from the pallette I think of as an olive branch, and I’m using the new products I got. Let me know what you think. Oh, and by the way, I look a little eurghhh under the eyes because I am NOT feeling very well today... so yeah. Ignore that!

Day Four: Rose Brown

So, yesterday the makeup didn’t last very well, because I decided to try the Masquerade Colour Correcting concealer in Green. Total fail of an attempt, as it turns out it’s too creamy, it doesn’t adhere well to the skin, and it overall just gave a very uneven appearance to my foundation. A shame, because all their other concealers are fantastic. Hopefully it was just a bad run.
Today’s makeup comes from a single palette of 5 colours which I think of as rose browns; they all have a slightly warmer, pink tone to them… so yeah. Let me know what you think!

Day Three: Orange Vintage

Makeup from yesterday would have lasted really well… except that we did an eye tint. Damnit! Also had my eyebrows shaped, which is why they kind of look wonky… but wonderful news. I’m allergic to the aloe vera in the bleach, and the bleach itself gave me a horrendous burning and itching sensation (not the one you’re MEANT to experience) so I managed to skip that step. Thank god.

Today I was feeling in a bit of a vintage mood, so I tried to capture that with my makeup as best I could without using liquid eyeliner or my cream- apparently it’s too difficult to remove, augh!- so let me know what you think! I also wanted to get a bit of colour, hence the more orangey toned brown... and augh! Frowny wrinkle fat fold things when I raise my eyebrows. Not very attractive, hehe.

Day Two: Lovely Lavender

Yesterday's makeup stood up to the weather, thank god... until I had to chop up some onions and my mascara (unfortunately, NOT waterproof), ran everywhere. Oops.
Today was a mission to get the right colour depth that would actually show up. The two purples I have are a bright vibrant, '”too colourful for class” purple, and a very light, sheer lavender. I think I ended up achieving the right colour that I wanted, but I’ll let you be the judge. Here’s the look!

Day One: Neutral Browns

So, here goes my –real- first day of my blog. I’m not a makeup guru, and we haven’t started makeup in class yet, so excuse me if the way I describe things doesn’t quite make sense… but hopefully, anybody who reads this will get the general idea of what I mean!

The Beginning

So, this is my first ever blog post, and I really have no idea what to write... so here goes.

This is a simple little blog for people who don't want to, or can't afford to, buy products such as MAC, Smashbox or Bobbi Brown.

I'm currently studying to be a beauty therapist, so as part of my uniform for class, I need to wear make up. Basically, I don't see the point in wearing it just for a class of girls who couldn't care less how well your colours are blended or how great your contouring is because of their own vanity, so I figure I'll post a photo of my makeup nearly every Monday through to Friday...
I'll give a little description of the colours I used (and their corresponding product lines, if they're not unbranded), the sort of brushes I used, and how long it took me to do them. I'll also comment on how well the makeup lasted, how many times I needed to reapply anything, and if the colours ran or creased.
