Today I’ve got a guest makeup picture tutorial by Patricia of MakeupMew on a topic that I definitely need training on – how to apply makeup on Asian eyes (although mine are a right doozy – not quite double, possibly triple, definitely kind of hooded!) Hopefully this is helpful for those of you with tricky eyelids… I personally find it …
Two more swatches of Alanna Renee’s first collection this morning! Part 1 was here, now for some fiery colours… Ablaze is another shade I’m completely enamoured by. I was a bit unsure of the black glitter dust (also in Reptar) at first, but it’s really grown on me. As well as the black dust, Ablaze has irregular matte yellow, orange …

Gloss ‘n Sparkle Witches Britches – purple crelly with three sizes of black, jade and orange glitter. This was a Halloween limited edition polish, and it’s …
