Organisation, at last!! ~ Pic heavy + long post~

So finally I can breathe while I'm doing my makeup, as at last I have obtained a bigger & better way to store my (small but sweet) stash. Well, its not small compared to the average person, but I have seen some beauty's posted on the web. Anyway, I took some before pictures, to show you how I had been living ha ha. And of course, the after pictures.

Before you see anything, don't hesitate to click on the pictures to get a better look & also, it looks a lot worse then what it is because of the mirror (Ok yeah, it was a huge ball of clutter, but still...)

Everything,sitting on top of my dressing table.I need my space!!!

Mostly Neutrals; Simple & Easy Work looks.

 I don't have much time at all in the morning for makeup anymore, some day's when I'm running late I will take it to work and do it there.... or I will do my hair there haha, and then I don't have time to take decent photos... but here are a few I did mainly in the first week. I choose to stick to neutrals 'coz I find that colours are easier to stuff up & don't look good if they are not blended properly... but with neutrals I find they are easier to blend. Anyhoo, here's a few looks.. I will try to remember what I have used!!
Eyes- UD Sidecar, Smog [?] Cheeks- I can't remember :( Lips- Bloom l/s in Honeysuckle.

Pics from my weekend

Lame & boring title haha but I wanted to share something about my town with y'all.
Long story short, there were some huge granite rocks that nobody really knew what to do with them, so they got sent to my town. So I guess that is when they decided to make a full scale replica of the Stonehenge in England. There was a bit of controversy about where they were placing it & why they were going it but a couple wanted to take it on & build it on their block not far from their house, which is about 15km out of town.

 Anyway, it was fathers day on Sunday & we had been out to lunch at the pub & randomly decided on the way home to go & have a look & take some pics, being the tourists we are :P Click pics to enlarge.

Doesn't look so big walking up...

New hair + Old FOTD

Hey guys! Sorry its been really hard to find time for blogging... still. :( I get my first TAFE package next week which will probably start with the basic stuff! So now that I am a student again... I have to do homework haha.
Oh I can't believe its september already..... & its spring now!! My hayfever has already gotten 10x worse in the past few days.. especially today.... but I still had a goood day, can't wait to share some pictures I took!!

So I've been working at the salon for 3 weeks now.... dyed my hair on the first day coz it was so overdue. Its a bit more different than usual, & looks a lot more redder in the sun, as always. I didn't get my blonde foils redone so where the colour has gone over it looks more pink!! hehe.

Bubblegum, MUG Inspired

 A little while ago now, I finally had gotten around to watching Marlena from Makeupgeek tv on youtubes' last cocktail inspired look.. (I'm sorry I forget the name now, Berry Mojitio?- I'll look it up later) but straight away I was inspired by the colour combo & placement. Well I guess you can't say this is inspired- I just wanted to try her tutorial exactly how she did it. & I love it!!

More Nakedness~

Hey beautifuls. Still been really busy & haven't had a chance to go on blogger since last week! Hopefully it's slowed down more. Updates about the new job later!

So I still love playing around with my Naked palette & finding out new combos. You will see a ton of work looks with them since its so easy to reach for in the morning.
This is one of my fave combos from the palette, which I find is a  gorgeous sexy smokey eye. I wore this to work & had a horrible customer that day who abused me, (retail- that figures!) & I cried when she left :( So I ruined my makeup dammit, & we were going out for tea that night but we were going to the gym beforehand anyway so I had to redo it.
~Look 1~

Bird Inspired #1 Parot

Hey everyone! Another quick post, no time to check in!
In our backyard we have a lattice set up where we keep a bird bell (bird seed in the um shape of a bell lol). Quite often we have some Parots (or some sort of colourful bird haha- not too sure which species- maybe Lorikeets? ) that are usually in pairs but sometimes we can have up 5 at one time. Anyway... I have been meaning forever to use their gorgeous colours as inspiration.
Hard to see how bright their colours are.
