    Colour-Cut-Crease

    A colourful cut-crease look I did as a tutorial request - the bright colours were my addition, I was so excited to try out Firecracker E/S! I initially really disliked it, but I kept thinking about it so I went back to the store and got it - no regrets! I made a tutorial for this, you can find...

    Violet Trance E/S?

    I cannot make this E/S work! It's so gorgeous, yet the colour doesn't seem to work on me at all - it just goes kind of grey, no matter if I pack it on (then it just falls off.) Recs please?

    Contoured Smokey Eye

    Here is a tutorial for an eyeshadow look I do quite often - it's all about a smoky eye that's exaggerating the natural contours of your eye. You can make it colourful if you like, just swap the greys for purple, blue, et cetera. Finish by using your best perfect-skin foundation combination -...

    Blush and Contour Tutorial

    Before I start, I must point out that this is a rough guide for contouring, they way I like to do it - not exceedingly subtle! Also, my cheekbones are flat and long, therefore my contour will appear long and low on my face. To make a contour look natural, you really have to find out exactly how...

    Brow Tutorial

    Someone on my blog asked me to do a tutorial on how I do my brows, so I did. I actually change how I fill in my brows nearly every month or so, so this is how I do them currently!

    Burton's White Queen...

    I saw Burton's Alice about a month ago, and I really loved the fact that nearly all the 'human' characters had dark circles under their eyes. I have heavy under-eye circles, and it was fun to think that instead of trying to conceal them, I could enhance them. This make-up look is mainly inspired...

    MAC in Ireland?

    This may be a silly question, but I have no idea so I have to ask! ;O Being unemployed and sick of working jobs I dislike, as many on here my dream would be to work for MAC. I decided to go for it after being told by the Boston manager that I should be working there (eeeeee!!) but I'm not sure...

    Turquoise and Lilac*...

    This is my favourite colour combination as of late! I love Beautiful Iris because it matches my favourite nail polish so nicely ;D As you may see, my skin is quite dry around my nose, I'm blaming 7 hour plane flights and lack of water for that. ;/ No amount of primer/exfoliator/moisturizer will...

    America = Inexpensive MAC = HAUL!

    I've been wanting new brushes for so long, so of course I splurged when I went on holiday to Boston. I couldn't afford/justify brushes on European prices, but I could with American ;D I also got lots of eye colours, as I have a fairly substantial collection of lip products... most of which I...

    Not going to mess with my nerves*...

    I've stopped wearing a lot of base recently, for some reason it doesn't seem to want to 'work' on my skin lately! Strange. I think it might be because I have to mix my foundation, and one of the two has just stopped liking the other. It's good preparation for summer months anyway. This is still...

    Opal & navy polish recs?*

    I'm fairly new to the world of nail polish! I would appreciate any suggestion a lot. I'm looking for a good quality navy nail polish, without any shimmer (but not matte) - quite dark, but not dark enough to be mistaken for black. Also, I see loads of really pretty polishes that are kind of a...

    Can anyone read Asian characters?

    Please hesitate before hate*...

    I did my make-up properly for the first time in ages! I'm thinking about lightening my brows - not full on bleaching, but just making them a bit paler. Yes or no ladies? I'm over doing extreme brows for a while, and moving on to different ideas - which is why I haven't been doing a lot of...

    Tahti's year old MAC Collection*...

    Insomnia has brought these photos to you currently, I kept meaning to photograph my (quite small) collection in the daylight hours, but never quite got around to it... I've been collecting since late 2008, so just about a year - and if I'd kept everything in my collection I'd have a lot more -...

    Dying hair a natural red?

    Hey, I have a HUGE fear of hairdressers, (since I was 9, I've only been to one two or three times) and I went to one last week and emerged incredibly enraged and out of 45euro... ;/ My hair is naturally a dark orangey red, and lately it's been losing a lot of it's colour and getting more brown...

    MSFN and peachy blush/lipstick question...

    Hey!... Just a quick question about MSFN's first of all - I've never bought one of these before, and not having the chance to swatch them IRL (and can't find swatches I'm happy with online... yet) I'm wondering how pale the Light shade is? Is it paler than NC15? I'm considering buying it...
