Eye Bling - Gold

Hiya!

I thought this was a awesome look for night time: gold eye bling with some browns and bronze!

If you like, read on...

What I used:

•  The good old Urban Decay NAKED palette in SMOG and DARKHORSE
• MAC Paint Pot in CONSTRUCTIVIST
• Barry M Glitter Liquid Eyeliner in 11 GOLD
• Rimmel Gel Pot Liner in BLACKEST BLACK
• Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl  Eyeliner in COCOA BEAN
• MAC Zoom Lash Mascara in BLACK

• Eye Rock Glimmer Topaz Crystal Tattoos
• Urban Decay Brush (within the NAKED palette)
• MAC 231 Small Shader Brush
• MAC 219se Pencil Brush
• MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush 

Remember: Use any colours/brushes you have, this is just an example :)

Got all that?  Lets begin...

Step One

Apply your paintpot with the small shader brush over your whole eyelid and under your eye, making a small flick at the end

Step Two

Use the shade HALF BAKED with your Urban Decay brush and apply to the inner corner of your eyes, and blend to about 1/2 across the eyelid

Step Three

Apply from DARKHORSE in the outer corner and use the blending brush to blend over your eyelid

Step Four

Apply the gel eyeliner across your eyelid, following the natural shape of your eye

Step Five

Apply your kohl eyeliner along your waterline, smudging slightly under your eye

Step Six

Cut the eye bling to shape, peel off the backing paper and place carefully on your eyelid, hold down for a few seconds to warm up the adhesive, and slowly peel back.

Use the Barry M gold eyeliner and line just above the black eyeliner, and under the outer corner of your eye. I used the shader brush to sweep over the rest of the bling, to blend it all together

Add lashings of mascara ( or falsies) and.......

Taa-Daa!

What you guys think?  I just threw those colours together but you could be creative with it!

Nail Bling!

So I went to good old Salon Services the other day, and came across these gorgeous nail art stickers:

This is only five of the eleven styles that are available, there all so unusual, a bit more exciting than your normal nail stickers.

I opted for Silver Gem ( very appropiate! ) to test these out:

Silver Gem also comes in a packet for toes, but after checking the website, they are the only ones that do, which I found quite strange.

 I first painted my nails in GOSH Bubblegum Pink before I added the bling, just to add a pop of colour. They are just like your regular nail stickers, all you do is line them up, stick them on, and file off any excess - really quick to do.

This was the end result, they didnt look too bad, I did mine in a bit of a hurry, but if you took your time doing it they'd look really fantastic.  They retail on sallyexpress.com for £7.49, but they're doing a deal of £4.99 until 4/7/12, which is pretty good.  Silver Gem was a nice design, but I think next time I'll go bolder with something more eye catching like Black Jewels =)

Hope you guys enjoyed, please comment and subscribe, I'm going to be posting a lot so it would be great to have some regulars! Haha
