Coming soon: Chanel Perfection Lumiere


I just found out about this from reading some different Blogs and stuff on Google and thought i should share.
There will be a new foundation coming out this Autumn/Fall most think in the UK it will be most likely out in January 2012.


This foundation sounds awesome!, it has an Oil Free formula an SPF10 and supposed to be long wearing
they have even shown that there will be an increase in undertones and shades to more darker colours as Chanel  foundation are usually quite light toned, but as with the Aqua Vita Lumière they have kept the darker shades (Beige and Beige Rose) and have added 2 more called Beige Ambre and Ambre.
From what i have heard its supposed to be a really nice finish with a glow (more like a natural finish).

I cant wait to try this, i might go to Chanel and see if i can get a sample!




What do you guys think of this Foundation?

Have you heard anything?

Depotting Lipsticks- Saving Space

Hey guys! <3 well i got this idea from a hater, not depotting but to remember to blog about me depotting!
So recently i depotted 15 lipsticks onto a MAC Palette which are amazing! melting down lipsticks into palettes is easy and wont change the colour or texture so long as you dont burn the lip colour.

What you will need:

  • Lipsticks ((obviously ;) ))
  • Large Spoon
  • Candle
  • Lighter/Matches
  • Palette ((I used a Pro MAC Palette))
  • Equipment to sterilise the Palette 
  • Spatula


What i did was to cut the lipstick off and then place it onto a spoon hold it over the candle till it melted but dont hold it that long that it starts to burn, once it has melted place the lipstick into the palette (i just placed it straight  into the palette, no pan- if you press down the casing it wont spread as it drys fast) After you have done this, then scoop out the rest of the lipstick from the tube there is more in there and melt this and place it into the same one as you did before and repeat this till your palette is full or you run out of lipsticks


Liv -Illamasqua
59- Body Shop



Vengeance-Illamasqua
Underworld-Illamasqua


As you can see the lipsticks look fine, they look unchanged but in a circle form now, there is still the same amount of lipstick in these than there was in the tube so you arnt wasting money or destroying your lipsticks
I love the Illamasqua ones! <3



remember to scoop out all of the product from the tube

Thanks to my sister for helping! x

Be careful when melting as you can see it gets really messy and the spoon can get quite hot if your not careful, also dont use good spoons because they will maybe burn the bottom so ...bad idea to use some good spoons.

Very Important to Label so you know what is what! 



Labeled my Palette so i know whats in it
If you found this interesting or would like to see a tutorial for melting lipsticks leave some feedback below, im happy to answer any and all questions.

Face Charts

Hey Guys, thought i would share this with you, i went to MAC today to see the girl i know that works there....ended up buying the 109 Contour Brush and the 231 PRO Shader Brush
I love them both but thats not what this is about: its about Face Charts, i was given a few by her ((shhh your not aloud to hehe but she likes me, im awesome hah))

Yeah anyway i did charts well...1 chart but a different look either side of the face- its kind of Illamasqua inspired as you have the Sweet Day Time Girl and The Evil- Alter Ego
take a look:

Original

Evil- Alter Ego
*
Carbon Eye Shadow (MAC)
Surge Liquid Metal (Illamasqua)
 Contour Powder (MAC)
Gel Liner (Bobbi Brown)
Pink Lips

Simple Liner and Pink Lips
Ascend Medium Pencil (Illamasqua)
Gel Liner (Bobbi Brown

Sweet Day Time Girl
*
Brow Cake (Illamasqua)
Carbon Eyeshadow (MAC)
Gel Liner (Bobbi Brown )
Lover Blush (Illamasqua)
Minimal Contour (MAC)
Pink Lips







The key to face charts i think it to visualise and place on paper and to blend really well, add shadows and leave bits make bits more out there!, this is flat paper not your face so you will need to do more than just contour.

Illamasqua Lipstick Disciple Review

If im honest i love this lipstick, its not as drying like some of the shades but it is not moisturising.
This lipstick is a Deep Navy Blue with a near Matte finish which has amazing pigmentation but does look black from far away ((It's Deep, haha)) This lipstick is best applied with a lip brush, I use the Illamasqua Brow Brush for precision it lasts quite a long time, I had it on for about 6 hours at one point

"Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from matt to glossy. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly and never feels dry, for the perfect all-night pout. A must have for professional make-up artists, and those who want to make a statement."
-Taken from the Illamasqua Website









It looks like black here ((but i need a better Camera haha)) 











You can find this lipstick here for £15.50 ($25USD) 
Overall- 7/10
I do recommend this to people but remember it is drying to prep your lips before applying

Lady Gaga- Style, Makeup, Inspiration

Hey Beauties!

We all know from seeing this Outlandish woman that she isnt like the rest of us... well most of us ;)
she sets the tone for people to be different and to think differently, her fashion is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen, her makeup...Always! gorgeous.
Lady Gaga is the one person i look upto because she isnt afraid to be different and to say "Baby you were Born this Way!"
She has changed a bit since her days of "Just Dance" to the Meat Dress to now she is Fabulous she truly is a Fashion and Makeup Icon our Age! (In my Opinion)
People and herself always have things to say such as :

"Kooky, eccentric and downright outspoken!" - Glamour Magazine

"You can be smart, and in your underwear."- Lady Gaga

"I have a strong sense of my own sexuality. I love the naked human body and I have huge body confidence." - Lady Gaga

"I was working in strip clubs when I was 18. Girls from my background weren’t meant to turn into someone like me...My act was pretty wild. I’d wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N’ Roses and Faith No More. Very rock ’n’ roll." - Lady Gaga

Fashion of Gaga!

Her sense of Fashion is different than anyone else, there is one picture i really love and its not cause of all the shirtless men but because she looks sooo Gorgeous!



She just looks amazing! i think she looks awesome another thing to mention would be the makeup, the ideas she has for these are amazing i love the "horns" she had, now that is what you call different



Look at her, she is utterly flawless.
I love the lipstick she came up with help of MAC and was called Viva Glam Gaga! and a Lipglass aswell.
The point of these 2 things, the colours were neutral so that anyone could wear it anyone be they white or coloured, warm toned or cool toned ANYONE! could wear it 

Viva Glam is a something that helps the MAC AIDS Fund 


so say you buy a Viva Glam lipstick you could be helping someone receive a counselling session, which i think is a great idea to help those who really need it.
SUPPORT THE MAC AIDS FUND!

I love her Makeup so pretty
Coke Cans in your hair!! ... Genius 

This would have to be my Favourite! <3

I can safely say that Lady Gaga has inspired me to say "fuck you" to those who dont like me because in the end i am me and i was Born this Way! 
She is so loving of her Fans and her "Little Monsters" mean the world to her

GOSH Click 'n Conceal Review

Hey Beauties!
How is everyone, right so i went to superdrug and i was just having a look around seeing what was there when i spotted this amazing little thing, its called the Gosh Click and Conceal it comes in a variety of different shades for the purposes of colour correcting ((Click here if you want to know more about Colour Theory))Rivulets Beauty ((Follow Dylan, he is awesome!))

So this pen is amazing its basically like Touche Eclat in the sense it clicks and its in the same pen format but this one is amazing because its a GREEN concealer which is used on the face even under the eyes if you need to cover up RED tones in your skin because Green counteracts Red and cancels it out so instead of piling on the concealer and risk it caking use this! -WARNING- Do not use alot of this because you dont want a green tone to you skin you can to use enough to cancel the red but not too much that the red becomes green...which is worse!

(The pale green counteracts the red)




This just shows you how pigmented it really is

They are only available from Superdrug at £6.99 but im sure you will be able to buy them online.
I would rate this product really well 4/5 because alot of product does come out and you're only supposed to use a small amount
