GRWM Birthday Makeup ft Lit, Urban Decay & Dose of Colors

Well, here's me getting ready and going out for my birthday using some new stuff and some old favourites. I was still feeling the purple vibe and wanted to use some of my new birthday presents, plus my all time favourite glitter MAC 3D silver. I created this dramatic purple and silver halo eye with matte purple lips to go with my purple mood.

Enjoy!

Violet Roses & Caviar Nail Art ft Nail Pattern Boldness & Born Pretty Store

I wanted to recreate these nails I wore a while ago cause I liked the glitter placement and playing with micro beads. I used the same techniques in my lizard inspired Godzilla nails seen here. I thought I’d do a tutorial and also change up the colour scheme with some gorgeous purples from Nail Pattern Boldness, plus add these sweet as hell 3D roses from Born Pretty.

Enjoy!

Gold Leaf Cheetah Lip Art ft Born Pretty, Coloured Raine & Eye Kandy

I bought some gold leaf from born pretty store and I was thinking of a way to play around with it and I came up with a lip art that kind of reminds me of a cheetah print pattern. I added a purple and blue base of lipstick to the gold leaf to add a cool contrast to the warm gold and also created a gold glitter outline around the lips for added interest.

Enjoy!
