Wedding Hairstyle x


 
So as you may be all very well aware..
I have been studying my Diploma of Specialist Makeup this year!
 
As a part of my course we also study hair styling!
Today I'm sharing with you a wedding up do that I have created.
I know there is one pain in the bum bobby pin showing, but I am quite proud of my efforts!
Please tell me what you all think and if you want, request a tutorial and I shall post it
 
Mwah xx

Eventful days in the Densley/Sparrow house! x

I think that after you all see this extensive post, you will realise  how highly derranged and crazy that my partner, step-children and myself are! Our house is giggles everyday!
Of course I cannot say we are perfect, as well duh! All children have tantrums, *cough* and adult males, but we are as close to perfect as we will ever be and that's good enough for me!

 
When Adrian had one of his appointments, the children and I decided to go SHOPPING!
So we toodled on down the street and had a little swift through Priceline, and Trinity found a 3pc gorgeous Princess Bubble Bath set for $5.00 marked down from $25.
I got it for her..

 
This is the outcome.. Like brother like sister!
 
 
Everytime we go to visit a friend. Trinity and Xander ALWAYS play Domination over the other kids toys. In this case, Zac was cuddling up to his Mummy and Trinity and Xander had hijacked the Blackboard. Also the Short and Snoopy shirt on Xander came from Cotton On Kids, and the leggings on Trinity came from there also! Best clothes, && Adorable!
 
 
So one night I decided to make a nice healthy dinner consisting on a baked chicked salad and a fruit salad! The kids ate all of it! and this is the aftermath!
 
 

 
My three children are CrrAZyy! :D
Yes Adrian may be an Adult, but he sure as hell acts like a child! :)
In our house, healthy night isn't always the funniest of nights.
 
 
In fact, Spaghetti night takes the cake.
See Xander's bowl?
He decided to eat with his fingers (and only his fingers)
&& I ended up cleaning half a bowl of spaghetti up off the floor!
 
So here are the last few of my photo's that I have to share with you all! Enjoy!
 
 



 


 
 
Last but not least, this is the Parcel I got in the mail today!
I haven't revealed what it is yet, but do you know? ;)
 
 
 
 


Intimately Beckham Perfume xx



 
If you follow me regularly, you would know that I adore perfumes!
I have had this new one for about a month as a REALLY early Easter present!
 
I love this perfume, it's the best perfume I have!
(apart from my Calvin Klein haha)
 
I love the bottle, it's very basic and sophisticated.
And it smells soo great!
Just love this perfume!
A winner for any female :D


Garnier Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum xx

 
 
This is a product I use almost everyday on my hair!
I don't include this in my professional hair kit, but I do use it on myself!
 

Why I love it!

I love this as it really does take the frizz out of hair!
I have a naturally dark brown curly hair, that is highly prone to frizz (especially after straightening) and no matter what the styling of my hair, it will take the frizz out!
 

Availability

This product is available to absolutely everyone as it is a drugstore brand!
You can pick this up typically anywhere that you would find Garnier products (Supermarkets, Priceline, Chemist, Online etc.)
 

Hair Types

This product is used for frizzy and unmanagble hair.
I wouldn't recommend anyone with Oily or Thin hair.
Thin hair is already light on and typically not frizzy and flat so this product doesn't need to be used on thin hair. It can be used on oily hair, but only apply on the lengths and not at the roots as it adds more oily to the hair and will make you look as though you haven't washed your hair in 3 weeks.
That's what I do as I have oily roots and dry ends!
 

Tip

When using the product, only apply a small amount.
roughly enough to cover the tip of your ring finger!
You only need a SMALL amount of serum's.
This is a common mistake that people make and their hair turns out to be very greasy and gross looking! Don't make the same mistake. Trust me! haha

Sportsgirl Butter Dream Vanilla Body Butter xx



I adore sportsgirl so much, they are soo cheap in the skin care and cosmetics department and are still of a great quality. So it's not surprise that I loved this!
I love this body butter, it smells great, isn't a thick as hell mixture, and is soo moisturizing!
 
I even got my partner into using this! haha!
Also it's very cheap! Only $10!
Be sure to try this yourself!! :) x




Bonnebell Lip Care xx

 
This is my new Lip Balm that I brought today!
I LOVE it! Best balm I have ever had!
I brought it pretty cheap, well for $2.
 
 That balm has no tint to it, so it adds next to no colour to the lip! which is great if you have a really gorgeous tint that isn't overally moisturizing. :)
 
If you're looking for a new balm, I'd suggest this one! :D
 

Paintbox Cosmetics's Palette's!



As you may of noticed by my previous posts I love Paintbox Cosmetics!
And if you have paid attention to those previous posts, this range is only available to professional make-up artists. :( Big sad face! Sorry guys!
 
 
But anyways...
I got a couple palette's as you can probably tell by the pictures about. Blush (left) Eyeshadow (right)! Before I go into each palette I will let you know that the exterior of the palette's are of a leather-type origin. I'm not sure if it is genuine or faux! But it still cleans well! Better than a plastic matte or shiny or shimmer finish!
 
 
So lets start with the eyeshadow palette!
I adore this palette! Although the colours are limited, it is a great neautral palette that works for both day and night looks! :) And this palette comes with Shimmers and Matte's which is such a great idea for artists. The colours are highly pigmented, and work very well! Most colours are easily blend-able, but a few (mainly Black) that are great colours but take a lot of time an effort to blend. Not the best, but it is simply fixed by just patting the colour on with your finger.
 
 
 
 
Secondly this is the blush palette.
This is my second favourite product that I have ever brought from Paint Box Cosmetics!
This palette has two creme blushes and four powder (left four).
The colour sit well in the face and a super pigmented. So use a little for a light coverage, or a lot for a super heavy look! So great for burlesque looks!
The creme blushes have a night highlighted nature to them, and making the skin look radiant and youthful. The top left one is such a beautiful blush, a nice marbled pink and shimmer blush!
 
Overall these are the best palette that I have gotten my hands on!
So I hope this review helps all you Professionals looking for a new brand to discover for your Professional kits! :D


Professional Paintbox Liquid Pro-Mix xx

 
This is absolutely the most favourite product that I have in my kit!
And a must-have for any professional kit!!!
Love it!

Colour

The Liquid Pro-Mix is clear in colour! Which is it's soul purpose of course! This product needs to be clear so that it can set any shadow as a bright colourful eyeliner!

Why I love it!

I love this product because it makes eyeliner colours more accessible and less eyeliner pots in your professional kit! The eyeliner colours are endless, from golds and silvers, to fluro's and nuterals! Such a great product, so you can basically have any colour you love as an eyeliner!
I love this product!

Availability

These products aren't available to just anyone.
They are only sold to professionals through other professionals.
So sorry to anyone that I have got their hopes up to!

Tip

Always test the colour with the shadow and Pro-Mix on the back of the hand, as colours may not come out the same as they are in the eyeshadow pan! And put your powder on and then run over the colour with the Pro-Mix on the brush :) You may need a palette for the product!
 
 
Now you know why I love it!
Swatches will be coming soon! :D

Paintbox Eyeliner! :D

 
I have used Paintbox for a little while now (roughly a year) as part of my professional kit!
And well, I sneak in a few uses every now and then ;) Just because I love the brand!
 

Colour

So in this post I will be sharing the Paintbox Eyeliners in Paragon (bottom) and Onyx (top).
Onyx is a very standard Matte colour, and Onyx is a shimmery grey/black!
These colours are perfect for any lining of the eye and Dark Smokey eye!
 

Why I love it!

The reason why I love these are because they are a VERY soft pencil.
They apply well with only one streak over the lid, so you don't have to go over the area a million times to get the intense colour you want! I find that great as if you are running back and fourth continuously you are more likely to gain a BIG streak!
 

Availability

These products aren't available to just anyone.
They are only sold to professionals through other professionals.
So sorry to anyone that I have got their hopes up to!
 

Tip

To any professional that may be reading this, I must warn you that this is an extremely soft pencil.
So my tip to you in to put these eyeliners into a zip-lock bag over night or for half hour before travel as it will help to firm the pencil before you sharpen before use on a client. If you don't do this it will crumble everytime you sharpen. I store all my liners in the fridge anyways :)
