 Posted August 9, 2012 "REVIEW: If you wear makeup regularly, you know it's very important to get it off completely. This tool is very good at that. Coupled with a good cleanser, it greatly reduces the risk of clogged pores. If you use it everyday, the brush head must be replaced every 3 months. Do you need all the varying type of brush heads? No. Cons: must be imported and thus expensive. So ask for it as a Christmas gift. (Sourced via T.E.A.M Imports)" Posted November 1, 2012

Upon preparing this recent post I realised a trend, I have purple problems. I don't know what it is about the colour but it keeps turning up in my makeup collection... A LOT. And before you ask, my favourite "colour" is black. Apparently black is a tone not a colour...so de graphic pros tell muh.

All the fun is on Instagram
Out of four Maybelline Vivids I only kept Brazen Berry
M.A.C. Heroine lip glass and liner are must haves for purple lovers
Upon a recent iMart rummage with my friend Katrina, she pointed out that I have loads of purple nail polishes as well. I scoffed at her...until I was preparing for the blog sale. The only one I could part with was the O.P.I mini in 'You're Such A Buhda-Pest'. siggghhhhhhhh

I've heard many women of colour on YouTube say that purple looks great on us. I have to agree; and they're so many shades that you just have to play around till you find the one that accentuates your skin tone best. From nail polish to eyeshadow…

The year is moving swiftly along huh?

We're absolutely loving the feedback back from you on the blog. Be sure to keep up with Heidi and I on keek because that's where you get a lot of information in real time. Mini vlogs if yuh please!

But I digress. This toss were focusing on the eyes. Personally, eyeliner is still something I'm yet to master. As Heidi rightly said, I need to practise more. Hopefully I'm not alone on this quest and this give-away can help someone who's in the same boat. For the Pros, these will be welcomed additions.

Give-away #5
If you're a fan of the facebook page, you would have seen that we were in love with the Maybelline Color Tattoos from the time we got our hands on them. These can be used as a liner to add a pop of colour, a coloured base for powder eyeshadows or a stand alone eye colour. In my experience they can be applied with your fingers or a synthetic brush. We're giving you a chance to win the colours Pomegranate Punk and Ed…

I just re-watched Heidi's and I video on this topic posted in May, I'm still laughing.
I should have prefaced it by saying I barely wear lipstick. In the video I listed merely one product that is an actual lipstick; I mostly just can't be bothered. I'm not the "touch up" kindda girl so anything low maintenance gets my attention. If you're a lippie fan you know that bright colours need attention, especially if you're going to be eating and drinking. That said, when Heidi posted her recent video on her favourite purple, pink and red lipsticks I thought it was time to update you on mine.

Favourite red: MAC 'Deeply Adored' from the Marilyn Monroe Collection

MAC can only catch my attention now with special packaging
The only thing I can say it that it makes me feel grown. I love blue based reds, as you can see from the photo above, and this one has just the right tone and formula. Amazing.

Favourite pink: Wet n' Wild 'Cherry Picking'

Avai…

*cue music* "It's so haarrrdddddd to say goodbyyyyyeeeeee to yesterdayyyyyyyy eeeeeeeee"

I know, I know. Don't give up my night job.

This topic is very interesting to me. Even before this beauty blogger journey started I was the type to try to find every which way possible to make products work. Not quite hoarder status...but not far from. Throwing something away was the absolute last resort. Well, since working with Moden Makeup, I've come to the harsh realisation that I have too many things to try for this to continue. Wherever possible, I pass things on to someone that could put it to good use but unfortunately some things do have to be tossed. The silver lining here is hopefully I discover those items fast enough so I can make sure you don't waste your money too.

Here a few things I'm finally giving up on and why.

Casualty: e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner
Reason: Dried up inna jiffy


Yeah, that happened. This is especially sad because the colour is gorgeous.
