Liquid eyeliner

Sorry we haven't posted in so long, we have been very busy recently, but here is a new post for you :)




                                                    
Whilst on my holiday in America I went into a make-up shop called 'Sephora' which has lots of different brands so its great to buy your favourite make-up.




I absolutely love the make-up brand 'Urban Decay' - and unfortunately our shops here stopped selling them because they were only featured for a certain amount of time - so when I saw the sign in Sephora I had to check it out! I found tons and tons of awesome products and they also had a huge array of liquid eyeliners.


I chose 'crash' for my eyeliner because I have green eyes and purple brings out the green in eyes. The eyeliner is a light shade of purple - and it is sparkly too. If your not sure whether you like the colour, make sure you use the tester as it may look different outside the pot. (If you don't know what colour eyeliner suits you, ask a member of staff, I'm sure they would be happy to help.)


When I apply my liquid eyeliner, I use an eye pencil to start with as a base, then I move onto the liquid eyeliner. Apply it evenly on your penciled lines to keep it neat and wait to dry. (The liquid eyeliner only takes a few seconds to dry). Once finished, use a make-up wipe and carefully wipe away any messy bits.




Also, please let us know what you think in the comments so we can decide what sort of posts to publish next :)

Busy busy busy....

Hello!
Me and Olivia haven't been posting many blogs lately not only because it's the Easter holiday's but also because I (Maya) went skiing and came back yesterday. Olivia is in America on a crazy roller coaster as we speak :)
I will try my best to carry on writing blogs for you, sorry for the wait!

What does your eye colour show?

 (If you're not one colour or a lighter/darker shade just read the one closest to your colour).

Blue- 
People with blue eyes are well known for being adorable or cute. They are very kind and love to make new friends. With their polite and hilarious attitude, they will knock 'em dead!
Weak point-
People with blue eyes are well known for being shy in general.



Brown- 
People with brown eyes are very wise and don't let anyone tell them what to do. They are great friends and cheer people up easily! They are very kind and mysterious sometimes.
Weak point- 
Sometimes they can be too shy to tell someone how they really feel.



Green- 
People with green eyes are most passionate in relationships. They are trustworthy and have a great humour and crack up any jokes and make you laugh - they are also very pretty.
Weak point-
People with green eyes tend to get jealous sometimes and come up with good come-backs. (Watch out!)  ;)
Hope you liked this post! We will be posting more very soon!

What does your hairstyle say about YOU?



Messy Bun


You don't care about looking perfect, you are happy to put your hair up and walk out the door. This hairstyle is great for lazy days or days where you just want to feel comfortable. It can be a really good hairstyle - you can add a cute hair clip, a hairband or any hair accessory you like to liven it up - but sometimes its good to leave it plain. Overall, you are a great person to be around and you don't care much about your appearance. (Lots of celebrities nail this look too!) Overall, you are very practical and you dont like to fuss around. 










Ponytail and side ponytail


This style can be gorgeous. You can keep your hair straight or curl it, you can put a hair accessory on or you can do anything you like with it - be creative and make it your own. You can put it to the side to show you have a bit of attitude. Overall, you like to be practical and stylish at the same time.









Curly


You have a girly side and you love to be smiling. You have a bubbly personality and you love to be happy. All your friends love your happiness. Overall, you are a joy to be with. 










Straight


You have a very fashionable side and you love to feel glamorous. You are a person who cares about their looks, but not overly conscious. Overall, you love to have sleek hair and you are great to be with. 









Short Hair 

This can reveal that you are quite artistic and you want to express yourself through your hair style. It can also mean that you a sophisticated and you like to be organised and neat. You have a great character and you don't tend to like 'blending in with the crowd' - you like being an individual. Overall, you are a fun and an ambitious person. 













Long Hair


You like to have fun with your friends and you are quite easy going. You like to have long flowing hair and sometimes like to experiment with lots of hair styles. Overall, you like to experiment with different hair styles. 








Multi-Colored Hair, Unique Styles


You are a unique individual - you don't care what other people think about your appearance. You are confident and outgoing and you love to express yourself (usually through your appearance). Overall, you are a fun person to be with and you are full of energy. 




Plaits


You love to be original and stand out. You prefer to keep your hair out your face and preffer people looking at your face more. You can put your plait into a bun or a pony tail or just loose. Remember to experiment! You're a Pippi Longstocking in the making!

Foundation disasters



As you know, I LOVE natural make-up! I love how you can wear it anywhere at anytime, its quick and easy to apply, but unfortunately for some, that isn't a look they desire. Some girls at my school look like they shoved their head in a packet of doritos! When they are wearing a white top you can see the orangy coloured marks, plus if they hug someone the foundation often comes of and goes onto their clothes - a definate no-no for me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't wear foundation as it isn't my choice, but I would suggest not to pile it on.
I use a bit of tinted moisturizer - not only is it a moisturizer it also has sun block in it too! You can add a bit of colour and stay safe from the sun! :) It is very easy to apply, you just smooth it on evenly just like you normally would. (You can get any subtle colour to suit your skin tone).          


If you are unsure what tone would suit you, ask the people who are selling the item or even ask any member of staff you see around the shop - they will tell you exactly what tone to choose for you.


Of course foundation or concealer is great for covering spots or any blemishes on your face, however, not everyone uses foundation in huge masses or every day, some people put on a bit to add a tone to their face.


There is one thing to look out for though - STREAKS! If you don't apply your foundation/tinted moisturizer (or whatever product you use) you will have streaks on your face, this is NOT a good look - it seems tacky and cheap. Make sure you apply it evenly. To help you to avoid streaks, you can buy sponges or brushes to apply the product (some products come with it).
