Effy Stonem Tutorial

So I'm taking my Skins UK obsession to a new level and it's starting with an Effy Stonem makeup look. Here's what I did to master her total badassery:



First, apply your primer as usual. Then pat on a sparkly dark grey.





With a fluffy brush, swipe some black eyeshadow a little above the crease in a windshield wiper motion.

Line your eyes all around with a black pencil. Make it dark. You're a creature of the night.
Also, put some white eyeshadow by your tearduct and brow bone.

Looking up into a mirror, apply some glitter eyeliner close to your tearduct to give an unexpected twist.

Voila!!! You've got eye that shoot daggers!

Add some blush, a pink lipstick, and selfconfidence, and you're ready for parties, drugs, and underage sex.
.....kiddinggg!



Illamasqua: Toxic Nature

IDK if you've heard, but Illamasqua is pretty cool. Their Toxic Nature collection for Spring has left me drooling over a few things:

First,

This pic for the collection is too cute. If you really wanted to mimic some aspects, I'd go with OPI's "Who the Shrek Are You?" for nails, also check out Manic Panic for some hair dye, if you really want.

Second,

There's the collection (sans eyeshadows because they suck). The nailpolishes are very cute, the green being already done by OPI, and the gold pretty common, the creamsicle color is the one I'm dying over to finally get my half-moon mani done. (Post if I ever get my hands on it)
The lipglosses are WORTH it. I got mine for $7 , because I'm special, but theyre usually $20-ish. The pigmentation is awesome, especially if you're not a lipstick chick. I noticed the lipglosses are kinda meant to compliment the lipstick, but I'm not into that layering game so I didn't even try it out.

Orange lipstick is a big trend for Spring, and even though you may look like you've had too many Cheetos if done wrong, some girls can pull it off. The collection's orangey color worked great on my olive, and Lina Monroe's fair skintones. Though, above $20 isn't worth it for me :/

Really, I only recommend the creamsicle nailpolish and the glosses.... And riotous hot pink hair.

benefit to go!

benefit, you guys rock!

On my most recent trip to Sephora, I couldn't find a single cute thing, except for the Hello Kitty stuff, that I wanted to try. :/

Except for this!

This is benefit's "to go" set with 3 awesome mini products to try.

The products work great together, and do a great job of sticking on all day long. This set only cost me $10, yeah, ten bucks! It's a great set, and benefit really does have cute products that do heavy-duty jobs.



From the left, you have the Stay Don't Stray primer. It works for both concealers an eyeshadows, it stays on all day for me, it is nude in color and applies that color, too. Awesome product, great travel size.

Erase Paste is a "brightening camoflauge for eyes and face." I use it under eyes and to cover blemishes. Seamless application.

The final product is a creaseless cream shadow/liner in "R.S.V.P."

Really is creaseless, and applies smoothly, with a pink-gold tint and minimal sparkles. Great for everyday.
