Welcome to the first tutorial of the new year. I hope that everyone's holidays were awesome and that you all had a happy and safe Christmas, received all the presents that you asked for and had a happy and save New Year celebration!
I was inspired by my Transformers T-shirt to do something bright blue but still a little bit smokey and this was the look that I came up with.

This is another one of the foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. This is a really pretty foil
This is how this particular foil turned out on my nails:
I would describe this foil as a royal blue foil with a starburst pattern covering the entire length of the foil. This pattern can also be seen in Gold Starburst foil. The starbursts then reflect teal, light and dark blue and green depending on which way the light hits it creating a holographic effect
As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "Frostbite" which is a medium dark royal blue with blue shimmer.

The next installment of my nail art foil collection from Dollar Nail Art is the blue and teal foils. I bought these foils using my own money. This post will consist of product photos, close up images of each foil and a brief description.
If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

I received a request for a teal and brown look a while ago and I filmed this little number. Teal is one of my favorite colours and always has been so I really love this look, hopefully you do too

So as every makeup collector and makeup artist knows, you need good palettes for your collection/kit. Something that will hold all your products and protect them but also minimize the room it take up in storage.
The following is a list of palettes that I have tried in the past and my personal thoughts about them. I am not being paid to write this review and all the palettes I bought myself with my own money. I will be comparing all of these palettes to the MAC palette as I feel that these are the most accessible for most people.

So I realized while going through my tutorials that I hadn't done a nice purple look for a while, which is CRAZY because purple is one of my favorite colours to wear. This look also incorporates a gold duochrome on the inner tear duct which gives the purple a nice contrast.

Teal is one of my favorite colours so I felt like creating a nice teal smokey eye one night. This technique that I used is one of the easiest ways to create an awesome looking smokey eye.

I couldn't decide what colours I wanted to use for my next tutorial. I wanted to do something bright, eye catching and fun. So this is the look I came up with.
This is a bright fun look which can be worn anytime of the day, although I wouldn't recommend wearing it to work (unless you work with kids, then this would be awesome to wear lol).

This look is a really good example of the way that complimentary colours can look good together. I used a copper and gold look on the eyelid and then a purple-blue on the lower lash line. This works well because orange (copper) and blue are complimentary, and yellow (gold) and purple are complimentary also.
This is a pretty awesome look to try when you want to do something a little more dramatic and fun on a weekend out. You could also maybe pass this off as an Egyptian look if you made the eyeliner a little more dramatic.

I know what you guys are thinking "YAY! Finally a new tutorial!" I had a few troubles with my editing software recently because I bought a new computer and the settings that I had for Youtube in the program on my old computer wouldn't work. I finally fixed up the problem and now I have heaps of tutorials to post soon for your viewing pleasure.
This is a look that I wore a while ago when I went and saw "Eclipse" with a friend. I recorded it the day after seeing the movie but because of the software problem, I wasn't able to edit it until now.

So, it is officially my 21st birthday in 35 minutes and these are the nails that I have decided to wear for the day. As most of you probably know by now, my favorite colours are teal, purple and orange (weird combo I know), so I decided to use a teal colour as the background of my manicure.
Being that I am turning 21 and I don't feel like I deserve it, and I am still a big kid at heart (I have actually been watching old Disney cartoons for the past three days), I wanted to add something to the nails that was a little immature and kind of girly. I had seen a blog post made by FAB UR NAILS a while ago that I really loved and the colour I used for the manicure inspired me.

So, as you guys can probably tell already, I'm not very happy with my earlier videos before I got my new camera and before I set up a better place for me to film, so I have slowly been re-filming my older tutorials and just posting them randomly when I don't have any others to show you guys.
This one is a re-do of a look that was my favorite at the time that I did it. Normally I don't wear a lot of blue eye shadows and that but I really thought that using a pink reflect worked really well with it.
The original look looked like this:
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. It's really crap, bad liner, you can't even see my lashes and its not very well blended.

This is a recreation of a look that SayAnythingBr00ke on Youtube created a few months ago. When she did this look, she used minerals from Glamour Doll Eyes but I don't have any of those and I wanted to recreate the look using things I already had. This look is composed of mostly Inglot and MAC and I feel that it came out fairly close to her original look.

This is a look that I have been thinking of doing for a while. I am really into musicals/rock operas and that sort of thing, and my favorite one at the moment is "Repo: The Genetic Opera". In the movie they have a highly addictive paint killer called "Zydrate" which is used during surgery. The look is inspired by the Zydrate as it glows blue, so I created a "glowing" blue look.

This is a look that was a long time coming. I know that the Style Black collection came out at MAC a long time ago but I wanted to do this tutorial anyway. This is also a recreation of a Look of the Day that I did, (click here to see that look), although I did change it around a little bit.
When I heard that this collection was coming out at MAC, I was shitting bricks. I love doing really sultry dark looks, they are my favorite to do. I'm thinking about doing some more looks like this so when I do they will be posted on here.

Like most MAC addicts and the makeup obsessed, the Hello Kitty Collection that came out at MAC in 2009 was one of my favorite collections of all time. I did do a look using one of the palettes on my old channel but when I deleted it I decided to do a better look using more than one palette.
I have included a list of products that I feel would easily be able to to dupe colours from the collection if you weren't able to get your hands on it when it came out.

This is a look that I just threw together yesterday. I have had the eye shadows from MAC's Style Black Collection since the collection came out in Australia a while ago but I never noticed that I hadn't even used them yet. When I heard about the collection I almost peed my pants because I was so excited about it. My favorite style of makeup to do it really dark smokey looks and I especially love black shadows with a coloured glitter in them (I have 3 of the 4 that Inglot has released in their Freedom System line).

I thought I'd take a break from writing out tutorials I'm going to film to upload my latest tutorial and update the blog.
This look was requested my my friend, Christie. She asked me if I could create a look for her that was pink and purple which was really bright and out of the ordinary. I came up with the basic look for the lid but then decided to change it up for the lower lash line because, as I said, she wanted something out of the ordinary. I chose to use greens on the lower lash line because I know that green is Christie's favorite colour.
I also decided to use false lashes in the look because I hardly ever use them. I have recently gotten really into lashes. I always liked using them on other people because I love the way they can change a look and open up the eyes. I also only just found a way to put false lashes on myself because normally I struggle with them.
My collection of false lashes has gotten pretty huge since I've been using them on myself. I mostly used Ardell lashes because I like that they are human hair, there are so many different styles and some of them have an invisible band which makes it easier for them to blend into the natural lash line. I might do a blog post soon showing how different styles of lashes look on me, but it'll depend on if I'm having a good day with them or not.

This is a recreation of a FOTD look for July 28th, 2009 that I had uploaded a while ago (to see the look, click here). It is just a goldy-brown on the lid with a pop of electric blue on the lower lash line. This is the kind of look you could wear when you have to look a little more conservative, but want to have a little something more to your look.
If you are in the US or UK and can't get your hands on Bourjoise "Blue Clinquant" eyeliner, Urban Decay has a 24/7 eyeliner in "Electric" which is a very similar colour.

I don't normally like to use blue eye shadow on their own because I feel that they don't suit me too well. This is a super girly look using a pink duochrome in the tear duct and on the brow arch. This look has been created using mostly MAC eye shadows except for two of them which both come from Inglot. I know that in America there is only one Inglot store which is in New York City, but here in Australia Inglot is pretty accessible. I have written some substitue eye shadow brands below just in case you can't find an Inglot near you.
To recreate this look, you will need (all MAC unless stated):
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Vex eye shadow
- Freshwater eye shadow
- Deep Truth eye shadow
- Contrast eye shadow
- Inglot #64 (black with blue glitter) eye shadow (NARS "Night Flight" eye shadow is very similar)
- Vanilla eye shadow
- Inglot #651 (light duochrome pink) eye shadow (MAC's Pink Freeze eye shadow is similar I think, either that or Pink Opal pigment)
- Bourjoise "Nior Blute" duochrome eyeliner
- Loreal liquid liner in "Carbon Black"
- Ebony eyeliner
This is something that is very fun to wear. If you can't find any Bourjoise eyeliners, any dark blue liner will work just as well.
