New Years Eve FOTN

New Year's was celebrated as a family event this year. We went to a small country town only half an hour away, where a street carnival was held. It was only a small affair, but it was nice having some family time. We were home before 11:30pm, meaning we could watch the fireworks coverage on tv, followed by some 80s music clips, lol. My makeup for the night was quite simple. Neutral, yet some sparkle for the eyes, and some colour on the lips, made up my look for a laid back NYE.













Makeup used:




Instead of applying foundation, I wore Suntanned Sweeties Sugarbaby tinted SPF moisturiser for a natural looking sunkissed glow. (More info here)
Info on mascara, eye liner, blush, base and crease colours can be found here. They are currently my staple makeup items :)
To conceal, I used Garnier's tinted roll-on for under eyes. I often use this for blemishes, too. Not only does this conceal them, but also helps them heal faster. I bought this from Priceline for $15, I believe.
HiFi Cosmetics Crystal Moon eye shadow on my lids, applied over Silk Naturals Stick Em Eye Primer. I LOVE the mineral makeup company, HiFi Cosmetics. In fact, I will have a review coming in the near future.


Custom lipstick care of the talented Michelle from Ritual Eyes. It is a gorgeous watermelon colour in a cute pink chrome tube.





A nice stress free night, beginning with my simple makeup look :)

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
