No-Makeup Makeup

Today we’ve got two looks from the last two weeks, both nice, natural, and very suitable for daytime wear.  I’ve just got a new mineral powder foundation which matches my skin tone- although sometimes it comes out a little TOO pink- which inspired me to do looks that are that quintessential “no makeup” makeup style.

 

On another note, my leg is much better!  All the bruising is gone, and the deep grazes are healing well, although slowly.  Where the ankle and foot strap were on my heels still hurts like hell though, but other than that.  Yay!  Getting better!

 

Take a look at the makeup after the jump.

I have an excuse... really!

So, major oops!

I know I said I was going to post makeup from Friday, and a weekend look, and a tutorial... but my camera is dead.  I also fell down the stairs at said party on Friday night and banged up my leg, so I wasn't really in the right mindset (that being PAIN FREE!) to do my makeup.  But come this weekend, I'll try get onto that tutorial about general contouring.

I also have to make a note to save enough money to buy Brooke Fraser's new album Flags... and somehow manage to save ANOTHER amount of enough money to afford the concert.  Eeep!

That's all for now.  Look forward to an update this weekend guys!

Another Spring Look…

Today, I feel like singing that Summertime song.  The one by Ella Fitzgerald.  Everything is still, all the birds are singing, it’s so warm and sunny out… and I don’t have any theory tests until Thursday… although I may have to do a mock-mock exam for my practical- facial, makeup and waxing- tomorrow… or Tuesday.

It’s almost the weekend though, and you all are going to get double (possibly triple if I can be bothered over the weekend) makeup dosages.  One look today, a party tomorrow night which screams for a decent evening look, and maybe a nice, natural bronzed babe look over the weekend.  Take a look at today’s picture after the jump.  NB: Excuse the shine, it’s damn hot outside and that makeup has been on for a couple hours.

Also, I was thinking about doing a contouring/highlighting photo tutorial, that’s the same basic look for all face shapes.  Let me know in the comments if you’re interested, or if I would just be wasting my time.  Also, if you have any requests for looks/tuts, I can so do that.

Loving the Sun…

No makeup today, but I just had to post a few pictures from this gorgeous summer day.  I’ve spent about the last three hours sitting outside on the couch on the deck, soaking up the glorious sun and heat, and reading Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris, book 5 in the Sookie Stackhouse novels.  I have my iced water with lemon in hand- plus my awesome neon yellow crazy straw-, my sunglasses and absolutely NO makeup on!  Unfortunately, I’d just changed out of my sundress because I was about to leave for the gym when I decided to go lie out for another hour or so, because I decided to wait for mum before I left.

Cheers to spring, everyone!

Summer-tiiiime, and the living is-- oh. It’s still SPRING?

It’s been so warm here lately- by lately, I mean for three days, and that is a LONG time for Wellington- with only a little wind, and relatively blue skies.  The weather is amazing, and as soon as I post this blog, I think I might go lie outside in the sun, just to channel my inner Sookie Stackhouse.

Finally, another update for my few followers, haha.  If you know people who are on Blogger, link them to the Unbranded Girl Blog.  I’ll follow them, if they follow me.  A nice, simple and colourful look for today, plus you get to see my new haircut (done by Emily, at Boosh hair salon in Mana).  Take a look after the jump!
