Flash Back Friday #1

Okay here is a picture of me back in the day. I think was taken in 2010. I think I look different now and my make up sense is different now.

Eye shadow-
I used to put so much white eye shadow on all over my lid and in the inner corner. I rarely wear white at all any more now as I don't own a nice white since the one I used for this day was very old and need to be thrown out. I still like the look of the white in the inner corner but I hardly do this either. Along with the eye shadow this is just one colour! I enjoy using a lot more colours now and blending in different ones. This photo for taken slightly before I became addicted to YouTube beauty videos.

Eye liner-
This was back in the day where liquid eye liner was scary and too tricky for me to attempt. Don't get me wrong I owned one but it was in a pot and I could not do it for the life of me! Also this is back when I put A LOT of the blackest black eye liner in my water line! It made my very small eyes look even smaller. Anyone know what I was thinking? I have definitely changed my style of eye liner since then. I actually attempt liquid I am still not amazing at it like my friend Brodie. Also I enjoy using white or nude eye liner in my waterline to open my eyes.

Lips-
I do not have anything on my lips here! I don't always wear lip stuff these days however I tend to actually wear lip stick or a bit of colour now. Well at least before I went on medication and my lips became super super chapped!

Cheeks-
I am pretty sure I don't have anything on my cheeks here. Back then I did not have the love for blush that I have now. My mother actually told me I had to put something on my cheeks back then. Which is pretty funny as it made my face look so bland without blush or bronzer.

Also just thought I would tell you I happen to he wearing an vintage top from the 80's shoulder pads and all. hahaha

7th Februray 2013- Snowkissed Cashmere Eye shadow Palette- Skylark by Elle & Blair

Snowkissed Cashmere Eye shadow Palette- Skylark by Elle & Blair

It is a Pallete created by beauty gurus on YouTube. I am massive fan which I’m sure my friends, sister and boyfriend would be able to tell you that. I ordered this palette online on Blush which is not the most convenient website as there is a $20 international delivery fee with no option for spending more money and receiving free shipping like other websites. Also not all products are aviable for international shipping.

Onto the palette itself. The packaging is really cute with the only downside it doesn’t have the most protective closing (it is magnetic). It contains 6 eyeshadows, one highlighter and a dual ended brush. The eyeshadows are Lace, Blitzen, Pinecone, Nutmeg, Ember, Shiver and highlighter Satin Sparks.The Lace eyeshadow is the only matte colour and clearly made as a eyebrow highlight. This means that the colour can not be used as an eyelid colour and not as pigmented or quality as all other colours. Blitzen, Pinecone and Nutmeg are all colours that I adore wearing during the day or night. Blitzen is a lovely eyelid colour or all over colour for a minimal Bronzed look. Pinecone and Nutmeg are nice crease colours are easily blended. The colours Ember and Shiver I have used to play around with however they are not colours I would normally wear. A red is not a colour I tended to where on my eyes. The blue is dark and not to light that it looks tranny like. Blue is a nice colour for blue eyes but it can sometimes to be hard to pull off. However I instructions they give to pull off the colour isn’t as simple as is made out to be. The Cheek highlight is an amazing colour to go with a brozned look. It makes an understated look that I have been wearing alot lately. The Brush is is nice quality and one that I am happy to use it everyday.

overall I have been enjoying the pallete alot ever since it was delivered. It is one of my favourite at the moment. I do think it will stay one of my favourites for the next few months I think it will be nice to use in autumn and winter since that was when it was released in the USA.

I may do a tutorial soon let me know if you would like one.
