Kitty left me a present! Pics!

Kitty's finally gone to her forever home, her new family is very loving and have had cats before so I'm glad! I do miss her clawing at my legs and meowing but now I can bring my life back on track, and my blogging too!

She decided to leave me a little present before she left, look at this! D:

Ok, no! I lie..She's much too sweet to do that! I was just fooling around with some makeup! LOL! I scared my grandma and sister pretty good though! XD
Here's a close up so you can see the "fakeness."

What do you think? It was my first time trying makeup like this..

Anyway, on to kitty! She improved so much after just 4 days at home. Especially after the vet visit. :) Here she is on Day 1

And the Day she left:


All clean and shiny! She learned to go to the bathroom for her "business" and even understood if you called her from another room! Smart cookie. :) I miss her but I'm glad she has a new caring home.
So, that's all for today! I'll be posting my makeup challenge again and even though I've taken up some work so my posts might be short, I'll still try my best!

How Much Does My Face Cost?

I found this really interesting post on The Mod Mermaid's blog. It's an eye opener for me as to how much I spend on my everyday makeup. I haven't calculated yet, I'm going to calculate as I go about this post. I don't think it will be a lot though, since I usually use lower priced brands, but lets see shall we?

This is my everyday makeup, give or take.. Sometimes I like to change the eyeshadow, lipstick or blush, but usually, this is my look, when I'm completely uninspired. (Sans lenses of course..)

These are my usual makeup products, they tend to change by season, but this is what they are *now*.


  • The Body Shop Oil Free Balancing Foundation- Rs. 1140 (It would have been Rs.180 if I had been using my Maybelline BB cream.. Oh well!)
  • Maybelline Dream Matte Powder- Rs.475
  • Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer- Rs.460
  • NYX Cream blush "Natural"- Rs. 520
  • Faces Eye Magic gel (primer)- Rs.315
  • Revlon Colorstay "Coffee Bean" quad (gift)- Rs.650 (?)
  • Maybelline Eyestudio mono "Iced Fudge"- AUD 12.95 (Rs.750, WHAT? SERIOUSLY?!)
  • Maybelline Colossal Kajal- Rs.150
  • Maybelline Colossal Volum' mascara- Rs.200
  • Color Bar Velvet matte lipstick "Bare"- Rs. 225
  • NYX Xtreme Lip Cream "Buttery Nude"- Rs.380
Total (I don't want to know! >.>): Rs.5265 (95$)
I don't even... That's insane! With almost all drugstore makeup, my face costs that much! *jaw drop* I wonder what people who use all MAC etc have their faces costing. :/
Anyway, I hope you will try this tag too!

Creative Makeup Challenge Day 5: Emo/ Goth Makeup

Well, kitty's still here, going to be here till Monday probably! But she needs a lot of attention so I hope you understand the delay in my makeup challenge and general blogging. :(
I'll tell you more about kitty later and show y'all some pics too but first, it's makeup challenge time!

Today's theme was Goth/ Emo makeup, since I had a cat going around my feet trying to trip me, I kept it simple. Everyday Goth? Scene maybe? Tell me what you think! I feel like it's very similar to Day 2.. :(  Promise to do better next time! x.x





Anyway, I'm sure you'll forgive me if you see pics of kitty! So here are a few I took yesterday. :) Enjoy! And I promise I'll reply to all your comments in a bit!

Kitteh likes the warm and fat one (me!)

According to my friend she should be called Batface! ♥

Yoda ears! Need to give them a good cleaning!

We're watching The Simpsons! KITTEH GET OFF MAH LAP!

Maum! Did you know there's a cat on the other side? *derp*
 Hope you enjoyed my little Kitty picture spam! And the very uninspired look too. >.<
In other news, I won a giveaway on Sleek Makup's Facebook! I win the whole 2012 Limited Edition collection! It's inspired by the London Olympics... I'm so excited!! I never win with just luck at anything! I didn't even know I had won till Bhumika from New-Love Makeup told me! Thanks Bhumika! *hugs*
Yay! This is what it looks like, now the wait begins.. LOL!

Thank you all for being patient with me and my lack of updates. I'll be back on track soon! ^-^

Glitch in the plan!

Sorry guys for the lack of updates yesterday and today! My sister took my camera cord to college and lost it, so I can't upload any pics.. I don't want to use my phone because it looks terrible! So she and I went down to the store to buy a card reader.. On the way back we found this little guy shivering in the rain, so I have a house guest for today... She clawed up my favourite shirt though! D:
 Have no food for it but it's happier here than cold and wet! Going to give it to a shelter tomorrow. :) I'll resume normal blogging then!


The story of the kitteh finding through Kpop! (Because I have nothing better to offer..)

First it was all like:

So I was all:

And then it was all *claw claw claw* :

But now we're like:

I'll be sad to give it to the shelter tomorrow. It's weird how fast I can get attached to an animal. :(
Anyway, see you guys tomorrow! Let me know if you've ever picked up an abandoned or stray animal an what you did with it...


Update: Kitty is in the house! My grandma let her in, in the morning. I made her poo in the bathroom, she ate some scrambled egg and now she's asleep in her box. I have her with me for the day, in the evening my friend will pick her up. :) I'm glad I don't have to put her in a shelter! She be a smart cookie.. Be prepared for pic spam! :D

Creative Makeup Challenge Day 4: Geisha Look *fail*


Ok, I know it says Geisha but I got carried away! I wanted to do something different and I skipped over to something not geisha! LOL! So now it isn't geisha anymore.. It's Kabuki!

Le difference?
Geisha

Kabuki
LOL! Yes, instead of turning my makeup into something delicate and feminine, I managed to make it something fierce and scary! SORRY! >__<

So, here's my look, I didn't want to paint my face white so I stuck with focus on the eyes. :) used the usual geisha/ kabuki colours, white, black, red and a bit of yellow.




 I didn't want to put up the full face because it looks effing scary! But I have to because makeup challenge! ;n; The contouring makes me look like a drag queen! Here it is *gulp*:


I hope you weren't too freaked out by that! LOL!
See you tomorrow with the Goth/ Emo look.



Manicure Monday: Blingtastic Sequined Nails with Review


Hey everyone! Here's a little change from my makeup challenge, I decided to do my nails with a little effort yesterday, I've been doing them lazily for a while now since I had such a huge workload to deal with!
So I thought I would try this awesome glitter that was sent to me by KKCenterHk.



KKCenterHk, is a great stroe where you get everything beauty related under the sun for very reasonable prices :)
The glitter I received is a beautiful gold colour, this is the actual product name and link:  N.NAIL 1.5mm Bright Glitter- B0208.
The jar is $5.54 for 10 g and will seriously last me a life time! The glitter is 1.5mm in size and just the right size to be used on nails. The glitter is good quality and I like that it's a bit thick so it doesn't fly around when opened. The size is pretty uniform too!




I plan to use this glitter for eye makeup too! Lets see how that goes. :)

Now here's my manicure!

 I used NYX's Hot Coral and while it was still wet, set the glitter in there with a toothpick. Then added top coat!  I liked how it turned out! I obviously have a thing for coral and gold, I'm sure some of you remember this tutorial. :D

Creative Makeup Challenge Day 3: Tim Burton "Good" Character Makeup Look


Ooooh! I'm so excited for today's challenge! Excited and NERVOUS!
For good characters I could think of choosing between only two characters, Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Emily, the Corpse Bride from well, The Corpse Bride! :D

I ended up choosing Emily because both of us have blue hair! LOL!


Now, I know this is not perfect but I've never tried anything so drastic before, so I really hope you guys like it! ^u^



Bahaha! The veil makes me look more like The Corpse Nun! I didn't have any nice material on such short notice of course. :) My eyebrows were being a pain to conceal! LOL!  I used the lightest concealer from my BH Cosmetics Camouflage palette for the base because I didn't have white foundation. :( I also wih I had done upper lashes but for some reason the lash glue was really making my skin and eyes sting! Must have developed an allergy.. :/

I think I used up almost 50% of my blue shadows from the 88 palette! LOL! But it was so much fun, I don't mind. :) I forgot to do my neck and ended up photoshopping the colour so that it would look the same! LOL! Sorry about that! -__-'

PLEASE tell me what you thought of this look because this really is a first for me, a transformation look, you know?
Anyway, next look will be coming on Monday, I know you guys must be getting bored of just the makeup challenge to read about so I'll get some reviews ready over the weekend. :)

Enjoy your weekends everyone! Good night!

Creative Makeup Challenge Day 2: Tim Burton "Evil" Character Look

Ah, I had a long day today! Most of it was spent outdoors, that's why this post is pretty late. >.>
Btw today I found out that you can't send liquids through post or courier! JOY! X( How do people in this country send nail polish?? Urgh! Somebody help!


Anyway, today's look is supposed to be a Tim Burton "EVIL" character, so I thought I would do Angelique Bouchard from Dark Shadows. Anyone seen that movie? Not great but good. :)


I wish I had a blonde wig for this look! LOL! But the eye makeup was fun. :D

Have I mentioned I hate flash photography? >.< My skin looks horrible with it! Photoshop to the rescue!


details
 I don't know what to do tomorrow for the good character. :/ Hoping to do something fun! Anyway hope you liked my take on this look! I'm going to bed now, cursing the post office!
Bye!

Creative Makeup Challenge Day 1: Lace Makeup Look

I've been wanting to do this challenge for sooo long now! I had found it on another blog a long time ago and now finally have the time to go ahead with it!
This is a 30 day challenge and I'll be updating everyday except weekends. I'm so excited!!

Today is Day 1: Lace Makeup Look




 I used Maybelline Eye Studio liquid eye liner to draw the lace. I wish I had the pen liners you get, it would have looked much neater than this. :( But it was fun to do! ^u^ I used Faces lipstick in "French Rose" as well on my lips of course!
Tried bronzer for the first time ever.. Meh..


My "I'mma kill you!" face
 I didn't want to do symmetrical designs because drawing on my own face was asking for fail anyway! LOL!

What do you think of my Lace Makeup Look? You can try this challenge too! I'll post all the days in the pages tab for y'all!

See ya!
