Rock Valentine’s Day! :)

Posted on January 28, 2012 by glittergirlc

Hi cuties! 😀 I love Valentine’s day and everything that has to do with romance! ^-^ But the makeup doesn’t always have to be pink and bubbly (even though that’s pretty too)! 🙂 I wanted to do a more dramatic and edgy look for Valentine’s and thought black and red would be a great combination! I added some glitter and hearts as well. 🙂 I hope you like it!

Products I used:

Lime Crime – Candy eyed eyeshadow helper
Sugarpill – Pressed eyeshadow in Tako
NYX – Jumbo eye pencil in Black Bean
Too Faced – Brow envy kit
Makeup Geek – Razzleberry eyeshadow

Dior – DiorShow mascara
La Splash – Glitter Splash in Crimson Heart
DUO – eyelash adhesive
False eyelashes from ebay

How to:

Apply a primer
Pick up Corrupt (black) and cut your crease, using a smal angled brush
Above where you cut the crease, apply more black and blend it up, towards your brow
Blend this color out with a brown shadow that is close to your skintone
Apply a matte, white color to your brow bone (Tako) and a shimmery highlight color over that (Shimma Shimma)
Place Razzleberry, or an other red shimmery color, all over your lid
Connect the black color in your “outer v” with your lower lash line and bring this color half way in
Use Shimma Shimma as a highlight in the inner corner of your eye and blend this in with the black on your lower lash line
Apply a silvery glitter liner to the inner corner and on your lower lash line
Use a black pencil liner and apply it to your lower – and upper water line. Set it with Corrupt
Line your eyes with a liquid liner and apply false lashes and mascara
To apply the hearts, you can use an eyelash glue. I picked up some glue with a small toothpick, applied it where I wanted to place the hearts and then placed them on top of it
You’re done! 😀

The Makep Geek Razzleberry is a stunning color and as you can see it is much more red in real life, than how it looks in the eyeshadow picture. I love that it is red though! 😀

Have a fantastic day!

Lady Gaga photo Shoot!

Posted on January 27, 2012 by glittergirlc

This week I did most of the makeup for Karianne’s photo shoot! It was a lot of fun and I think the pictures turned out great! 😀 This was the first time I did skeleton makeup and I don’t think I’m very good at it, lol! ^-^ It was fun making those “lightnings” though. 😀 Check out more of the pictures, here: Karianne Kaas Photography 🙂

Gorgeous models!

Look at that hair 😀

Lovely Corals :)

Hi 😀 Today I thought I’d show you a more natural look, using coral colors. I think I’m going to wear this a lot more on an everyday basis, as a replacement for the normal browns.

False eyelashes! :D

Posted on January 21, 2012 by glittergirlc

About a month ago I bought false eyelashes on ebay and today I got a whole bunch x) It was about time they arrived, because I think I had only two pairs of lashes left! ^-^ Here’s a mountain of 220 eyelashes, lol:

There are both upper – and bottom lashes and I only spent a total of 20 $ on them! 😀 I’m so excited about making some new looks with these! Any suggestions on which ones I should try first? 🙂

I hope you’re having a great day! New look coming soon! ^-^

Beauty Portrait :)

A few days ago I did the makeup for a beauty photo shoot. 😀 Because it was going to be a beauty portrait I didn’t use lot’s of bright colors and a lot of heavy makeup. The dress that the gorgeous model (Johanne) wore, was pink, so I used a light sparkly pink color on her lid with greys in the crease. The pink eyeshadow also made her green eyes pop! 🙂

Glamorous :)

Posted on January 14, 2012 by glittergirlc

How to:

Apply a primer
Blend Cocoa Bear into your crease and slightly above it
Create a soft transition from Cocoa Bear to you brow bone, by blending the color out with Purely Naked
Highlight your brow bone with Shimma Shimma and blend it in to the browns
Place Mocha directly into your crease and your “outer v” area and blend it out into Cocoa Bear
Apply NYX Jumbo eye pencil in French Fries on your lid (this step is optional)
Then cover your entire lid with Glamorous
Apply Glamorous to your lower lash line as well
Apply Cocoa Bear to the outer half of your lower lash line and then Mocha only 1/3 of the way in

Line your upper lash line with a liquid liner and apply mascara
All done! 😀

Sugarpill Cosmetics – Review!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by glittergirlc

Finally! Here’s my Sugarpill review! It took much longer to write than expected, so I’m sorry it’s a bit late! The Sugarpill products I’m reviewing are the two eyeshadow palettes: The Sweet Heart palette and the Burning Heart palette. Also, these five Chromalust loose eyeshadows: Tiara, Royal Sugar, Asylum, Paperdoll and Darling.

The packaging that the palettes come in is super cute and gorgeous! I love the colours and the design. The palettes themselves are really cool looking and each of them contains four eyeshadows and a large mirror. The mirror I now use every time I do my makeup. I’ve heard that some people say that the palettes are heavy and maybe they are compared to some palettes, but I’ve taken them with me a lot and never thought about the weight. 🙂

Swatches of the Sweet Heart palette:

Dollipop is a bright and beautiful matte pink colour!

Afterparty is a very vibrant, medium blue shadow, with a pearly sheen.

Midori is a very bright and pretty green eyeshadow! This colour has some shimmer to it.

Tako is a very good, matte white. You can use this for so many things: As a highlight on your brow bone, in the inner corner of your eye and on your cheekbones. You can use it on your lid and to set a white pencil liner on your lower waterline.

Swatches of the Burning Heart palette:

Flamepoint is a matte, vibrant orange eyeshadow! I think it’s a really stunning colour!

Buttercupcake is a beautiful matte yellow colour! It’s very bright and vibrant, but slightly chalky. Not a lot though!

Love + is a gorgeous, hot red! It has a matte finish with a slightly pearly sheen to it. This is a much pigmented, very true red colour! It’s the best red eyeshadow I’ve come across! Without a primer it looks very bright red and with one, it becomes more of a deep red. Also, when you fade it out, you get a very beautiful, dark pink colour!

Poison Plum: Omg! This is my favorite colour, not just of the Sugarpill colours, but my absolute favorite of all eyeshadows! It’s the most beautiful, hot purple colour ever! It’s extremely pigmented, especially with a primer underneath. It appears a little shimmery in the pan, but on the eyes it looks matte. With several layers you will definitely see the shimmer, though.

All the Sugarpill pressed eyeshadows are very bright and intense, just the way I like it! 😉 They are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend beautifully! Because Dollipop, Poison Plum, Love+ and Flamepoint contain carmine, they stain a bit. But for me, that hasn’t been a problem.

Sugarpill sells these eyeshadows in single pans as well and they are a lot bigger than many other eyeshadows! Each pan contains 4 grams/0.14 oz of product and costs 12$. That’s three dollars less than a for a MAC eyshadow pan, which only contains 1,5 grams/0,05oz of product. So you get amazing quality eyeshadows, for a very good price! Another plus is that Sugarpill does not test on animals! 🙂

Going over to the Chromalust loose eyeshadows! They come in super cute jars, where you can see both the name of the shadow and a list of all the ingredients!

Swatches of the loose eyeshadows:

Tiara is a metallic, silver coloured loose eyeshadow. It has a lot of glitter to it and is perfect as a highlight on your brow bone and in the inner corner of your eye. It works great as an “all over lid”- colour, especially to spice up a black smoky eye! 😉 Also, because of the tiny micro-fine particles, it will look great as a body shimmer. Weight: 4.5 grams.

Darling is a shimmery teal shadow. It contains a lot of pretty, turquoise sparkles! This was the absolute first colour I fell for out of the loose eyeshadows, and had to buy! And it has definitely lived up to my expectations! Weight: 4.5 grams.

Paperdoll is the cutest lavender eyeshadow! It has a shimmery finish and there’s nothing more to say about it, other than it’s just stunning! 🙂 Weight: 4 grams.

Asylum is a rusty red, metallic colour. This one is also beautiful and shimmery and I must say I’ve never seen a colour similar to it. I like it a lot! Weight: 5.5 grams.

Royal Sugar is the most gorgeous, bright blue colour there is! Honestly, I’m so in love with this shadow and it’s my favorite one of the loose eyeshadows! It contains a lot of beautiful, turquoise glitter which I could just stare at all day. I’ve used this colour for many things: As a lid colour, a crease colour, an eyeliner and I can’t wait to try it on my lips, my eyebrows and my nails! It would look amazing anywhere! ❤ Weight: 4 grams.

These Chromalusts are the Holy Grail for a glitter girl like me! 😀 They are super pigmented, sparkly and they look beautiful on the eyes! I think they’re easy to apply and to work with. To make them as vibrant as they can be, you can use a primer as a base and apply them wet.

When I bought my loose shadows, all of them weighed 5 grams. Now, the weight varies between 4 – 6.5 grams. This is because some colours are denser while others are fluffy, and this made the jars with the dense shadows seem half empty. Now, all the Chromalusts are filled to the top, and because the jar has no sifter, you have to be carefull not to spill any of the gorgeousness! 😉

The loose eyeshadows cost 12 $ each and that’s a very good price compared to how much product you get! I bought some of my Sugarpill products from www.sugarpillshop.com and the rest of them from http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/. The shipping to Norway took 1 – 2 weeks from the Makeupgeek store and 3 – 4 weeks from the Sugarpill shop. But I bought it during Sugarpill’s Pink Weekend sale, so that’s probably why the products took so long to arrive. I was really happy when I got them though, because I absolutely love all of the eyeshadows and I use them a lot! I also got a cute sticker of their logo with my package. You can see it in the beginning of this post. Pretty, right? 😀

Looks where I’ve used Sugarpill eyeshadows:

I know this is a very long review, but I hope it was helpful!

Happy New Year! 😀 I hope you had an amazing celebration and spent the day with the people you love the most! I spent the day home with my family and everybody helped me pick out which pictures to post of this look 😀 I hope you like it ^^

I used 2 – 3 hours alone, to place the rhinestones exactly where I wanted them ( I know.. I’m a little crazy, but it’s always fun seeing the final result 😛 )

If you’re wondering, this is how I did the rhinestones:

Apply some eyelash glue onto the back of your hand
Take a small pair of scissors or a toothpick and dip the tip of it in the glue
Apply the glue to where you want the rhinestone to be (for example on your brow)
Because there’s some remaining glue on your tool, it’s easy to pick up a rhinestone with it and then place it on top of the glue on your brow
Pick which colours you want the rhinestones to have and place them in the order you like.
It’s as simple as that, but time-consuming 😛
