I’ve been experimenting with different makeup colours and styles this year. Lots of pinks, purples and even a bit of sparkle.  One of the looks you’ve loved and asked for a tutorial on is this one, I call it my Romantic Makeup.

I am wearing lashes in these shots, but I’ve skipped them in the tutorial to keep it simple.

Also, because I didn’t get a good shot of the shadow I was using on camera, here is a detailed shot for you.

I’ve used the middle colour as the main base for this look and the darkest for the contour. I’ve also used a seperate purple shadow in the footage mainly because I’d already used up all the purple in this palette! I love these shadows and they way you can get very different looks by using them as either wet or dry. Hypo allergenic, fragrance free and suitable for contact lense wearers, these are a great inexpensive buy at $19.99 a pop from Priceline.

I’d love to see how this one works for you. Send me a link if you try it for yourself!

Hold onto your hats friends, because today’s hair tutorial is a never before attempted feat of daring!

Two of my blogging buddies (who are also well known for creating fun and interesting tutorials) and I were having a little chat one evening when we came up with this idea. It went something like this, “Hi Violet, Hi Cheesie. You know how much we love doing awesome hair tutorials? Well how about we try this?”

It is a simple and fun hair do you’ve seen me wear an casual days and asked for a tutorial on. It’s also one you can customise to your own style.

Enjoy!

You can visit the awesome Violet Le Beaux and Cheesie to see more of their fun tutorials!

During my trip to Sydney over Christmas I had a few hair disasters. Whether it was the heat and humidity or the windy weather, I didn’t come prepared for either and it left me at a bit of a loss for ideas as to how to fix my hair.  I wanted something chic and simple that could be achieved quickly and with very little, if any, product.  So  I put on my thinking cap, did a little experimenting and came up with a winning solution.

You saw it in my latest Vlog and requested the tutorial, so here you are!

Enjoy!
