Has this ever happened to you? I'm upset and very offended.

She hadn't responded to me for days and I had countless responses from other sellers so I sent her a message about it. I was just burnt for the same eyeshadow before where the other seller kept making up excuses and then finally sent back my money but it took a month and a half.
I also gifted her payment which was a fair swap for photographic evidence, don't you think?
I've never had this problem before because all the previous people I've had dealings with have always agreed to send evidence.

Please tell me what you think.

I'm about ready to just send your money back to you, every message you've sent has been accusatory or wanting me to prove myself. You can either trust me and get off my ass, or I will happily send you back your money. Asking for me to take photographic proof! Are you kidding me? You ate so totally out of line. Forget it. I'm sending your money back now. Thanks for the refresher course in why I don't ship internationally.

I need your advice... about relationships and love.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was dumped by my boyfriend of more than 3 years on New Years Eve.
He's an asshole, I know.
But he wasn't always an asshole. He used to be sweet, loving, caring and always put me #1. However, thats all changed now because now he's selfish, mean, two faced and always puts me last. I don't know why that happened. I always tried my best to make him happy. He was always my number 1. I guess he got tired of me now he treats me like I'm nothing.
He always used to say that I'm really the only one he wants to spend time with, his "friends" weren't really his friends and they were bad influences. Now he hangs out with them, stays out late without telling me and he parties. He's become a bad apple.

And it really hurts me that he's turned out this way. He always said it was thanks to me that he put his life right, studies and tries his best instead of just partying his life away. But he has dumped me. It has nothing to do with me anymore.

My question is: How do i get over him? How do i cut my ties with him? How do I stop the constant crying or the constant running back to him? How do I move on with my life?

This guy was my best friend. My parents love him. I dont know how to move him out of my life and out of sight. I don't want him to cause me anymore pain because this year is my final year of High School. I have to do amazingly well on all my exams to get into my chosen course. I can't keep moping over him. I know it'll take time but I'm so pained, so numb I wish it would speed up.

If anyone could help me... and give me some advice. Please do.

Happy Belated New Years ♥ New Year's FOTD

Hi everybody ^^

Sorry for the late New years but life has been hectic. I know I say that a lot but it's true. I had a pretty bad New years actually. So I had to have a bit of time to get over it. I got dumped by my boyfriend.

We were together for more than three years and I guess now we'll try to patch things up or just be friends. He's my best friend afterall. However, he's been a selfish asshole of late so we'll see.

Ah well. Here is my new years look:

I used this tutorial as a base to create it: From Head to Toe's New Years Sparkle Makeup Tutorial
However, I used silvers and greys instead of pink and black. 



I'm sorry the photo isn't very clear. I had my sister take the photo.

Milani Baked Blush Review

I bought these two blushes on Cherry Culture. I don't recall for how much but it was during their 15% off sale awhile back.

Product Description: A luxurious powder blush that features a mélange infusion of colors baked on Italian terracotta tiles. Easy to use, sensorial in texture, the nuances of color become extraordinarily luminous. Silky smooth application leaves your face looking healthy and radiant all day.

Corallina & Luminoso

These are baked blushes that were made in Italy. They have a domed top and are housed in really nice gold plastic cases. The blush portion lifts up to reveal a  little brush. I would imagine it would be okay to use for sculpting the face but the bristles are a bit scratchy. I would prefer to use my own brush. There's also a small mirror as well.

L-R: Blended with a brush & then finger swatched ONCE!
Luminoso & Corallina

Luminoso: This is a peach. Its really gorgeous and would look lovely with all NC ladies. It looks kinda satin. It doesnt have much shimmer or none at all. It doesn't look metallic or anything. This is quite the perfect blush especially when one wants to contour the face a bit. This is quite pigmented. The blush itself is quite powdery and there was a lot of product flying when I swiped it lightly with my brush. You can't really tell its there in the photos but it is really lovely. 

Corallina: This is a raspberry and gold melange in the pan. Swatched its a golden raspberry with tiny glitters. I'm not joking. This is a glitter bomb. The colour is quite lovely and this is pigmented too but the fall out has spread all over. When applied, you can buff away the glitter a bit but there will still be some there. However, this would be a lovely flush of colour on the cheeks.

The Milani Baked blushes are really nice and pigmented and I recommend you try them. They are $7.99 USD on the Milani site.

I definitely would recommend Luminoso. Its awesome and would fit into next year's orangey trend.



E.L.F Blush Review

Hi!

How is everyone today, after yesterday's Christmas festivities?

I'm alright. I'm a bit down actually. I had a good day followed by a terrible night but enough bout that.

I recently just got my latest package and I decided to swatch my ELF blushes for you today.

L-R+T-B: Mellow Mauve, Pink Passion, Tickled Pink & Peachy Keen.

I've had the bottom two for a while now. I don't remember exactly when though.

E.L.F Studio Blush
The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!
Price: $3 USD

L-R : Pink Passion, Mellow Mauve, Tickled Pink & Peachy Keen [Left is blended out a bit, the swatch on the right is swatched twice]

Pink Passion:
Its a very bright pink. The texture is chalky and powdery. However, it is definitely pigmented. I would recommend just a tap of your brush for this blush. The wear for this blush is quite decent. It's matte.

Mellow Mauve:
I wouldn't call it a mauve actually. In the pan, it is a rosey mauve but when I swatched it, it was  a orangey mauve? If that makes any sense. It looks a bit mauvey but leans more to the orange side. This is also quite chalky actually but its a softer chalkiness to Pink passion. This one is on the sheer side and has tiny shimmers.

Tickled Pink:
This one is a corally pink. In the pan, it looks similar to mellow mauve, just a bit peachier. The swatches turn it a bit pinker. This one is a bit powdery but not as bad as the ones before. The wear is horrible though and its sheer. It only lasts about 2-4 hours on me and thats being a bit generous. This is a bit shimmery as well.

Peachy Keen:
I got this one because another blogger had said it was her favourite and I thought I would try it. This is a metallic looking orange/peach. This swatches well but on the face... its quite sheer and doesn't last that long. Its the most pore emphasizing  would say. I wouldn't suggest this for lighter skin tones.

These blushes are definitely not the best. They don't last as long as other blushes. Three out of Four of the ones I had were quite sheer as well so you'll have to build it up. For the price though, they are definitely worth a try. Especially if you're beginning to use blush and can't apply it as well since they are buildable and sheer.
I recommend: Tickled Pink for everyday and Pink Passion if you know how to apply is properly.

I’m back!

I apologise for the long absence. Life has been hectic and a lot has happened. I did write about my depression which was a factor at first but then life just got busy. I had exams, some family problems and then just writers block, or more like photographers block. I haven’t held a camera in my hands for ages and I got annoyed with my dslr since it didn’t focus properly and I didn’t have sufficient light. Summer/Spring in Melbourne has been a bit of a roller-coaster since we’ve had rain and mainly cloudy days. We’ve finally started to have sunshine again so I’ll hopefully be able to take photos now and practise some more!

I don’t have any reviews or hauls to talk about at the moment but I’m expecting some stuff in the mail soon and I will just do mass reviews during my summer holidays. Some posts to expect:

-MAC eyeshadows

-MAC paintpots

-Other palettes
-The rest of the fyrinnae eyeshadows
-My MSF collection
-My Lipsticks
-BLUSHES BLUSHES!
-Inglot
-ELF

And I suppose some posts about life and hopefully be able to do all this since I’m working these holidays and it’s a pretty tiring, hardcore job.
