Glitter Me Pretty: Face of the Night, Birthdays

Hey there Glittersphere

So the other night was my Mum's and my Brothers birthdays. As usual i took plenty of photos and i thought a would share my makeup and hair for the night.

For my hair i used my new BS Sassoon clampless curler. I am in love with this curler, the curls reminded me so much of Taylor Swifts hair and i've always loved her hair.

Face: i used my Revlon Photoready Foundation and concealer. for my eyes i primed with UDPP and used my Crush Cosmetics Neutrals pallete. i wanted to keep to a golden look. Because i just wouldn't be Glittermanda if i didn't use Glitter i applied my Inglot body sparkles in number 56. Its a glitter with a bronzey golden reflex.  My Mascara is Max Factors False lash effect. On my cheeks i used macs Well Dressed, and for lips i used my new favourite lipstick, loreal Pretty Peach.

A few of the products mentioned i plan on doing reviews for and/or lots of swatches.

Until Next Time

Glitter Me Pretty: Review BYS Mood Changing polish

Product: BYS colour changing mood polish
Price: $4.95 + depending on location
Available From: Gloss and Kmart
My Rating: 4 out of 5

I was a bit skeptical about this polish when I picked it up. I thought it was a great concept but I just didn't see it working.

So last night I finally tested it. Much to my surprised the polish works! When it's cold it goes a pastel purple colour, and when it's hot it goes a pastel pink colour.



Colour when hot



Colour when cold.

The polish dries to a matte consistency, easily rectified with a glossy top coat. I also found this polish dried very fast. It's the first time I've painted my nails in a long time that I haven't needed to use my drip dry. On the downside, The polish did take 4 coats before it was opaque. A small price to pay for a pretty cool concept.

There are a few different colours available and I will be picking them all up.

Until Next Time

Glitter Me Pretty: NOTD

Hey there Glittersphere

just a really quick Nail of the Day. Today i have OPI The One That Got Away on my nails, from the Katy Perry collection. I love all of the polishes from the collection, they all girly and very sparkly.

The one that got away, is a pinky red colour, one of my favorite colours to wear during winter. It has a lot of glitter in it. I couldn't seem to get it to photograph very well. The photo above is the best i could get. Now that its dried i want to put teenage dream over top. maybe next time.

Until Next Time

Glitter Me Pretty: Revlon Grow Lucious Review

Hey there Glittershere

Today I headed off to work in the waterproof version of my favourite mascara, Revlon's Grow Lucious. After comming home I've decided I wanted to share my thoughts. (photos to come soon, I'm writing this blog from my phone)

Product: Revlon Grow Luscious Waterproof
Price: around $22 (depending on where you purchase)
Available: Any chemist, Big W, KMart and Target
My Rating: 3 out of 5

I love the normal version of this mascara, but I cannot wear it to work as it runs when I get hot. So, I purchased the waterproof version. The first few times I wore it to work I used it on both my top and bottom lashes, I noticed at the end of the day I had black smudges underneath my eyes. I thought maybe it's just from using it on my bottom lashes so I stopped using it there. Today i used the mascara only on my top lashes, while on a break I happened to glance in a mirror, I had the biggest black smudges under my eyes, it honestly looked like I had two black eyes. I thought that maybe I rubbed my eyes, but being that I was using a waterproof mascara there should be no smudges!

I am very dissapointed in this mascara. It does not work as a waterproof mascara. The only reason that I scored it has high as I did is that I still love the formulation. As a regular non-waterproof mascara it is a wonderful product. I will not be using this product again as a waterproof product.

Until Next Time

Glitter Me Pretty: Nail ETC Haul

Hi There Glittersphere

So i know i posted a couple of weeks ago saying i was back in full force..... Yeah... i actually got the worst flu i've ever had. I had 2 off of work and spent a very large majority of those two weeks in bed. So i didn't really have the energy to blog, sorry about that. But, I'm healthyish again (still have said flu just alot better) and i'm back with a haul.

A few weeks ago i placed an order at nailetc.com. Below is the polishes that i got.

From left to right: CG Atlantis, OPI Not like the Movies, Funky Dunkey, Mermaids Tears and Teenage Dream

None of them seem to photograph to their true colours. Atlantis is the closest to the true colour, and as i wear them i will be taking nail polishes swatches and doing nails of the day.

I totally recommend nailetc.com to everyone shopping took about two and half weeks and was the only site in which i could get Mermaids Tears from the POTC collection.

Until Next Time

I've been hiding!

Hey there Glittersphere,

So i've been MIA for a while. Whoops! i got caught up in the adventure that was Katy Perry and have just been enjoying my holidays off from work. But i am officially back in action! I've bought a lot of BYS nail polishes today so expect a review. Plus of course plenty of NOTD blogs, book reviews and much more. Of course if there is anything that you would like to see from me feel free to email me.

So, as for the Katy Perry experience... It was AMAZING! Words cannot describe just how much fun i had at the concert. We managed to get down to the front row, off to the side of the stage. While we couldn't see the whole stage there were plenty of big screens and the fact that we were close enough to Katy to see the glitter on her eyes was Amazing!! Even the security guards played around with us. One standing on his platform infront of me poked me in the head (i was wearing a diamante headband around my head) and told me he liked my head band! He was sweet. Katy is a girl that speaks to my heart, everything she has is either covered in glitter or rhinestones.. ahh thats the dream. Katy Perry's concert has infact inspired my latest creative project which i will share with everyone once its complete. May take a while.

And now for your viewing pleasure, some of my photos from the Katy Perry concert

If and when Katy Perry comes back to Australia, or does a tour where ever you may be in the world, i 100% recommend you go see her. I will be probably more then once. I did actually try to go to second show this week but i couldn't, oh well. Hopefully soon it will be Lady Gaga! (i can't wait to plan the makeup for that :o))

Until Next Time

Glitter Me Pretty: NOTD BYS In Da Club

I Love to paint my nails so from now on i'm going to be doing Nail Of The Day. Get ready for a lot of them, because i switch up my nails quite often.

Currently i am sporting BYS's In Da Club with OPI's Last Friday Night (from the Katy Perry collection) on top.

i would like to take this opportunity to say that this is the first time i have ever used a BYS nail polish, apart from the disaster that was BYS Cracked, and i am pleasantly surprised. After two coats the blue was vibrant and opaque, i did use three for good measure though. I can't speak for staying power as i am only up to day two. I did however where this manicure to work today and there are no chips, usually even my OPI polishes will chip, i do work a lot with my hands so chipping polishes is no surprise. I will report back with a full BYS polish review.

Until Next Time
XOXO
