Nails for The Week: Emerald Delight

Hey everyone!

This is it. *drumroll, please*

Here's my final post on Halloween nails. Brighten your days with Emerald Delight!

It's a simple, bright, and stunning colour. I decided not to do any nail art or design because some of you may be looking for something simple to last at least several days post Halloween. 

I hope you like it! I'd highly recommend this gorgeous colour because it's apt for both Halloween AND Deepavali. :)

Halloween Make Up: Angel's Nightmare

Hey everyone!

I'm almost nearing the end of my Halloween series of make up and nails for the year. 

I'd like to suggest this final Halloween make up to you: Angel's Nightmare. I started working on this make up with a different image in my head and somehow ended up with this instead. It worked out rather well, though!

This entire look takes about 30 minutes to complete and there's no need for blusher because you actually want to look pale and ghostly. ;)

Halloween Make Up: Midnight Kisses

Hey everyone!

Only FIVE days left until Halloween!! *howls*

For those of you who have been out looking for OR who are going to shop for black lipstick specifically for Halloween, S-T-O-P. 

Here's a VERY SIMPLE TIP for you to achieve the sought-after goth lips if you don't have a black lipstick.

Use a black, pencil eyeliner instead. TA DA! :D

I'm sure that most of you already have black pencil eyeliners and, unless you already own a black lipstick, it saves you money from an (possibly) unnecessary purchase.

Let's get started. Get up, reach into your make-up stash, and pick up that black eyeliner of yours.

Now, use the eyeliner like you would with a lipliner.

Steps

1. Sharpen your eyeliner enough so that it's not blunt. If it's too sharp, it may break.

2. Wear a thin coat of lip balm to moisturise your lips. Trust me, this helps - it'll be easier to apply the eyeliner.

3. Line your upper and lower lips with the eyeliner.

4. Fill in your lips.

5. Use a clear lipgloss if you'd like to achieve a more dramatic look; if you'd prefer your lips to look matte, don't apply lipgloss.

Product Used - For The Effect

Collistar Kajal Pencil Eyeliner in Black 

I really like using this eyeliner because it's very black on my skin AND it's easy to apply.

*     *     *     *     *     *     *

You may need to touch up your lips after you drink and eat meals, so have your eyeliner handy.

Don't just take my word for it. Try this SUPER EASY tip for yourself! If you're at home now and don't have anything else to do, try it! ;)

Let me know how it goes. As always, I'd love to hear from you. Have fun! :)

Halloween Make Up: Leopard-Print Eyes

Hey everyone!

If you've noticed my series of Halloween make up, you'll see that I've been experimenting with mostly eye make up. I figured that most of us may want to dress up for Halloween and not spend (literally) hours painting our faces. 

It's bad enough we have to figure out what make up to wear, how to do our hair, which costumes to wear, and which shoes to match with our costumes! Arrrgghhhh! So many things to do, so little time to do them!!

So this is why I've been giving you simple and relatively easy suggestions for make up. :D

Alright then. Let's get started, shall we?

This is one of my favourite Halloween make-up looks: Leopard-Print Eyes. 

Yes, I have a liking for leopard-print designs. So what, huh? :p

This print goes well with neutral or (better yet) bold, light colours because the emphasis would be on your beautiful eyes, AND it gives the "WOW!" and "dayum!" effect. ;)

Depending on how large your eyes are, set aside 10 - 15 minutes to do the effect for each eye. 

So instead of going to make-up counters and spending your cash for someone else to do your make up, try these looks at home and save your money!

Product Used - For The Effect

Lilan Vital Extremewear Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Only 9 days to go until Halloween!! Keep practicing and amaze people with your make-up skills! :)

Halloween Make Up: Spider Web Eyes

Hey everyone!

This is eye make-up look numero dos: Spider Web Eyes. 

It takes about 15 - 20 minutes to draw the effect for each eye depending on how stable your hand is. Needless to say, the more shaky your hand is, the longer it'll take.

It involves a little more time compared to the Smudged Tears Halloween make up because you need to draw lines for this look. Again, because it's for Halloween, the lines don't need to be perfect or straight. :D

For those of you who may have missed my previous post, look for the "Halloween Make Up" category on my main page and you'll find the post on the Smudged Tears look.

Product Used - For The Effect

Collistar Kajal Pencil Eyeliner in Black

I created a downloadable and printable PDF file for you with simple steps and tips as a guide. Hope it helps! All you need to do is click this link: How To Guide: Halloween Make Up - Spider Web Eyes

Here's another handy tip for you:

if you make a mistake with the lines or "webs", use a cotton bud dipped in make-up remover to erase the mistake. If you don't have make-up remover, use baby oil instead. Make sure the area is dry, then continue with the look.

This is another simple and fun look for Halloween, and you don't need to use/buy/make face paint. Have a go with it! :)

Halloween Make Up: Smudged Tears

Hey everyone!

Trick or treat?!? 

With Halloween coming up really soon, I'll be experimenting with this theme for a few more weeks.  

The look for the week is Smudged Tears. It's easy to re-create and doesn't take up much time. Set aside only 10 minutes for each eye.

If you have a function to attend for Halloween, need to dress up for an event at work, or just want a simple, fuss-free look, try this! It goes well with just about any outfit, doll-like costumes, or even sexy ones. ;)

If you're not sure what to do, check out the link at the bottom of this post. Don't worry if the make up is smudged a little because it's for Halloween - no perfect lines needed for this occasion! :D

Nails for The Week: Halloween Hell(ohs)

Hey everyone!

Guess what time it is...?? You know it! It's Halloween time! Booyah! :D

Here's an idea for your nails - it's simple and involves only two colours!

If you look closely at my index finger, you'll see a swollen finger and the tip of a plaster. I had a little accident in the kitchen early yesterday morning while preparing breakfast. The cut's deep and, needless to say, I have a throbbing and bloody finger. *sigh*

Note To Self: do not slice anything with a blunt knife or you could end up slicing your skin like I did. Ouchie! :(

Hygiene Tip: Breath Test

Hey everyone!

Do you suffer from bad breath? Perhaps you know of someone who does?

Have you had the unfortunate experience talking with someone and wondering what they consumed to have such bad breath?

Or worse, have you ever worried about your breath before kissing your partner on the lips?

I know I have. Heck, I may have even been guilty of it at some point! I find myself wondering sometimes throughout the day (especially when I'm busy at work, which is pretty much most of the time) how my breath is.

We can stop wondering, my lovelies! I've a simple tip for you to check for your breath. Remember these 3 little words: lick your wrist. 

That's right. 

Turn to your right, and now to your left. Then, turn to the back and to the front again. Make sure no one's looking. Now, lick it. :p

This is what you'll need to do:

Lick the inside of your wrist, let it dry completely, then give it a whiff. If the scent is bad, chances are that your breath isn't delightful either.

That's it!

Don't believe me? Try it and you'll be surprised.

*     *     *     *     *     *     *

Have a great weekend, everyone! Be good. Be safe. Have fun! :)

Nails for The Week: Rainbow Sprinkles

Hey everyone!

My inspiration this week is the large coloured-spinkled candy ball in Candy Crush. Hence, Rainbow Sprinkles was created!

It's an easy and fun look to do! :D

No, I don't really play Candy Crush unless I've no other game to play online and am VERY bored. You could say I'm more of a life giver when it comes to the Sugar Crush craze. :p
