For Sparkling Eyes: LINGMEL Shiny Eyeliner in #6

Hello my pretties! *cackles*

*coughs* Sorry about that... Lol! 

I got the computer ALL to myself! Muahaha! So i thought I would give y'all a new review!

I've always been obsessed with what are called "tear drop" liners. I've been thinking of getting the one by Etude but i think I may have found something better! ^_^

The ever so awesome KKCenterHk sent me a white pearl liner called LINGMEL Shiny eyeliner in #6 and I've been using it in all kinds of ways! I must say, I may be a bit in love with it! :D

Thank you KKCenterHk! 

Price: 

USD$ 8.00

Packaging:

Absolutely brilliant! This little eye liner comes in a round bottle with a really long brush handle. The brush is the one with the tiny hairs, not felt (that sounded weird...) It gives you nice precise lines, thick or thin.

The handle holds the awesome part though, the top of it has a small black pencil liner! 

Smart right? Dual purpose for sure! >w<

Smell and Texture:

Okay, if you're wondering why I'm mentioning smell here, it is because this stuff smells amazing! I have never used an eyeliner that smells so good! Usually they just smell funky but this one has a lovely floral scent. ^_^

The texture is slightly grainy because of the glitter but it doesn't really affect the performance in any way. I find though that the liquid is a bit difficult to get on the brush. I don't know why that is but I have to shake it every time I dip the brush to get it out. >.<

The black liner is very soft and you have to use it quite carefully! But even with a very light touch, it comes out really ebony black!

Colour and Performance:

The colour obviously from the pics is a pearly white, you apply it two three times and it looks more silver.

The liner tends to crack a bit if you layer it too much. 

The black liner does smudge a bit but doesn't come off completely or give you panda eyes. It's quite effective especially if you're travelling!

I get 4-5 hours with the black liner, around 3 on the waterline. The white liner lasts really long, the whole night if you don't rub it too hard!

I use this liner usually on my inner corners to highlight, I just apply a little and then smudge it, then put some more. But for the review I decided to go full on and use it as a proper liner.

I hope my crazy look doesn't scare you! ;)

I used the liner on my top lid as well as the inner corners of my eye. I used 3-4 layers to get the opacity. ^_^

I'm using the black liner as well on my waterline and smudged on the lower lid.

I would definitely buy this liner! It is a great help on the go to not only highlight inner corners of the eye but also for the black pencil liner that does hold its own compared to more expensive brands. ^_^

Hope you enjoyed this review! To buy the liner in white and other colours like Pink/Green/Blue/Golden Yellow/Pale Purple go to

See you again sooon!~

Product sent for review, my opinion is completely honest and my own.

Try and Follow Me Eye Tutorial: K-pop Inspired ^u^

I really love K-pop! Like, REALLY love it! It's the kind of thing that bombards your senses till you're totally caught up in it. The music is catchy and will get stuck in your head even if you don't like it, and visually, every backdrop, costume and hairstyle is always OTT. So, it is obvious, the make up will be awesome too!

That's why I've decided that I'm going to start doing K-pop inspired tutorials, now and then.. Maybe a few anime ones as well! :D I thought of this especially because the Korean eyes are very different from Indian eyes so  had to change the look around a bit to suit me. Not a lot, just a bit.. And, I think if anyone is interested in these looks, they will help them. I also want to do other celebrity looks, so if you guys have any ideas, let me know! :)

So, lets get started! My first look is going to be from a song called Try and Follow Me by 2NE1, one of my favourite videos, because storm troopers! :D This is the original look:

Park Bom from 2NE1

Step 1: Using a white eye pencil/ shadow base, cover the eyelid and blend Blend some on the corner of the lower lid as well. So we have a base. I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

Step 2:  Sweep on a baby blue shade on the outer half of the eyelid, blend into the crease.

Step 3:  Next, use a silvery shade and pat it on to the middle of the eye lid, blend into the blue and the crease.

Step 4: I accidently (is accidently not a word? I keep getting spell checked! D:) skipped photographing a step. -__- So this is a two in one. In the inner corner and outer lower corner blend in a white shadow. Above the inner corner blend in a baby pink. The pink will make the look more fresh and not dull..

Step 5: Now for the fun bit! EYELINER! Make a dramatic winged liner, use my tutorial if you don't know how... Although if you don't know how this tutorial's gonna be a real bitch soon. D:

Remember to stay within the eyebrow!

Step 6: Leaving some space from the corner of the eye, draw a line parallel to the flick of the top lid liner. Then bring it down to the water line in a similar way to the top lid. This bit takes some time so have some patience, a q-tip and some make up remover with you. :)

Then fill it up! Fill in your water line, leaving the same gap at the corner and tightline!

Step 7: Fill in the white as shown..

Load on the mascara! And done! :D I wish I had some fake lashes for this look. Maybe I'll buy some. :/

Here's the full face. Use a pink blush and a soft pink lipstick. :) I used NYX round lipstick in Blush.. That died on me because of the heat, because of which I got another tutorial to make. -__-

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, you can check out the music video too, their style is EPIC!

Do give me your requests and ideas for looks! See ya!

Enchanting Green: EOTD Tutorial

Hi there! I'm sorry I didn't get this post up yesterday, I've been and still am insanely busy with work but I'm still going to do my best to get posts up. :)
The eye look I'm doing today is a very simple and sophisticated look but it's summery as well. :) Great for a night out.
The colours I'm primarily using are green, gold and copper. I'm using my Coastal Scents palette but you can use whatever similar colours you have, play around with it. :)

This is the finished eye look:

So, let's start!

Step 1: Clean and prime! Then right above your lash line, halfway to the crease pat on a coppery eyeshadow.

All the late nights are really showing, eh?

Step 2: Right above the copper, upto the crease, sweep on some dusty gold and blend the two.

Step 3: My camera hasn't picked up the colour very well, but on the crease, like shown, blend on some light yellowy  green, blend it out well and also into the gold.

Step 4:  On the outer corner of the crease, pat on a dark green and blend into the rest of the crease. Keep the colour intense in the corner though.

Step 5: Highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye with a gold shadow. I also lined my lower lash line with a copper pencil, you can use the same copper shadow, if a pencil is unavailable.

Step 6: Give a winged line to the eye with a gel or liquid liner. You cn find the tutorial here. Water line and tightline your eyes and don't skimp on mascara!

And done! Pair with nude or pink lips!

I hope you enjoyed this simple, classy and earthy look! I'm sorry I have to cut short now, I had so many things to talk about, but later.. I just found out my wallet got lost and someone found it, so i have to go pick it up! What luck!
Anyhoo, please leave your comments, I always love them! And also, if there are any looks that you guys would like to see me do tuts on, let me know in comments or on Facebook! Gotta go! Bye~

Failproof, foolproof, Cat/Winged Liner Tutorial of Perfection!

Okay, that title is a bit exaggerated. XD But truthfully, this tutorial is the easiest way to get a winged liner look without it looking like a hook sticking out of your eye, great for beginners! The shape will always compliment your eyes and you can never get this wrong unless you have like serious withdrawal symptoms, i.e. shaky hands. I used to use this way when I first started wearing eyeliner, now i have moved to greater things. *acts self-important*

So this is what we're going for:

Exhibit A: Le *almost* perfect wing

Lets do this! Warning: Onslaught of images may slow your interwebz!

 

•  Draw a straight line beginning from the end of your lower lid outwards, make sure the line you draw  follows the natural angle of your lower lid, like how I have done, in the direction of the arrow. Try not to tug at your lis to get the line, just draw it on naturally. If you tilt your head back slightly, it is easier.
• Make sure the line doesn't cross the eyebrow area, if you want to do that... I don't know what to tell you. -__- 

• Next, from the tip of the line you just drew, bring the eyeliner down in a triangular shape to your upper eyelid in a straight line, as shown above. If it is a little shaky don't worry! Keep handy, your trusty q-tip and make up remover to clean up!  

You should have something like this. :)

• Now draw on a thin line from the inner corner of the eye and get it to meet the triangle. Build it up if you like. 
• I wear much heavier eyeliner on a regular basis and draw in the eyeliner all the way under the lower lashes as well. If you want a more dramatic look, you can try this!

• Now this is the easy part! Just fill in all the blanks. :)

• Now fill in your water line with a kohl pencil and don't forget to tightline the upper lash line as well, this will make all the small spaces that your brush couldn't reach disappear!

• Next! Mascara baby! You can curl your lashes before, I haven't because a. I'm lazy and b. I'm resourceful aka I have a curling mascara. XD

And you're done! 

Makeup used:

Eyeshadows: Gaze and Click from Lancome (I know what you're thinking, "what about the cheapness??" They were gifts. :P)

Eyeliner: Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel liner and brush, but you can use liquid or pencil too, whatever works for you!

Kohl: Maybelline Colossal Kajal :D

Mascara: Maybelline Hypercurl

What can I say, I loves me Maybelline!

Just an FYI, this is what my liner usually looks like, if you want to try it. I know it is a bit heavy for everyday use for most people but I like it. :) 

A bit messed up because it was taken after a long day. *yawns*

I hope all the beginners reading this can get some tips from this. :) 

Let me know if you would like to see more tutorials here and if you liked this one! If you're already an eyeliner pro, I would love to hear some tips! :D

A teeny little haul :)

Before I drift off to la-la land for the night, I wanted to post a haul of some products I bought at Beauty Center yesterday. It is a jumble of things and some I’m really excited about! Swatches will come tomorrow because my camera’s being a bitch right now. *rolls eyes at drama cam*

I think I spent like Rs. 1600 over all this. Not bad eh? Still feel guilty though lol! I always do. -__-

Anyway, enjoy my little splurge. It’s not that great but I feel very accomplished because after 3-4 months I’ve actually walked into a shop and bought things instead of clicking buttons on the internet. :D

Faces cosmetics

I got the I-Shine eyeshadow quartet in blue and "Siberian Nights" nail polish. They gave me a free gift of these velcro curlers. Lol! Don't know when I'll use them.

Maybelline polishes and ADS (whatever that is) polish remover

These polishes were just too pretty to pass up! In Amarelo Sol, Roxo Metalico, Dourado Metalico and black. The "black" is such an anti-climax after all those heavy names :D The remover is apple scented! Definitely better than the strawberry scented I bought last time. Eww..

Teeez eyeliner, Street Wear eye definer, eyelash curler

I bought this eyeliner in "Ocean" by Teeez cosmetics, they're a pretty well establish European company. The packaging is cute, yes? The eye definer by Street Wear is in white, I just needed it seriously! What? Ok maybe not... Lol! Te curler was totally on impulse. *headdesk*

???? 

This! This is crazy! These are soft matte lip creams by... wait for it... VOV! Say what? Yes! Not by NYX, by VOV. Such plagiarism was never seen before! The packaging, the colours, the written content, it is ALL the same!! Even the effing smell is DA SAME! I bought these two for like a 100 bucks each (NYX Rs. 600!) 

They're 100% the same! I promise! I mean, unless these make your lips melt off that is. But I'm willing to take that chance. *brave face*

The ones I got were the colours.. ahem... Monte Carlo and Istanbul/Tokyo *cough*. I wanted to get the Addis Ababa and Antwerp too but I've already ordered those two from Porkdaisy.com . The only other colour left was London.

I later realised that the baby pink makes me look like a pale zombie princess so I just plan to dab and blot. The red is a beauty! Swatches tomorrow! ♥

Can you say, "Impulsive?"

This is the Bath and Body Works PocketBac, basically a hand sanitizer from their Halloween special, it is called Bones. There were more, I wanted them all.. With names like Skulls, Vampire Blood, Bat something something... Why I bought it? Well... The packaging was cute... :( Ok, I'm ashamed of myself. I suck. No self-control here. But it is so CUTE! I want more!! *makes grabby hands* O.o
