Sportsgirl Get Cheeky Blush x


When I was in Bendigo in the first Holidays of 2012 I went shopping with my Grandma and Mum.
Not the ideal shopping partners, but well.. yeah.
I picked up a couple Sportsgirl Cosmetics for a try and well I loved the glosses, but didn't like the blush as much.

The blush feels really chalky, since the talc content is high. The colours don't really work well on my skin. They made me look "fake".

I wasn't very happy with this blush. It didn't sit right on my skin, and wore off quickly.

Semi-Natural Make-Up



A nice classic semi-nude face is my fave type of make up!
A plump pink of brown lip, with a classic eye in bowns :)
this is the kind of make-up I will wear to school, when I can be bothered haha.

First things first, it's just like baking a cake, tools and ingredients. Or in this case, Brushes and Make-Up!
You don't need to have the exact brushes, or the exact make-up, the ones below work best for me personally is all. Also keep in mind that you May, and in many cases will need different colours than me!! 

The Brushes !! :)

Steps :) xx

1. Start by applying your foundation, working from the nose to the outer frame of your face. Don't put too much on the forehead as it can start to look cakey and dry (even though it's not). If you have pimples or redness, feel free to cover with a concealer. (I don't tend to use it, which is why it isn't in my routine)

2. Add a little bit of blush to the cheeks, not too dark. Only so it is slightly noticeable!

3. Pic 3 browns from the palette that suite your skin tone, keeping in mind that you will need a lighter, medium and darker brown. The colour can be close, but do need a noticeable difference.

4. Start with the medium brown, and cover the full lid, finishing just before the brow.

5. Then take the darker brow, start from the outer corner of the eye and work the brown up alone the  crease of the eye, finishing 1/3 of the way along. Also do a bit along the outer, upper lash line :)

6. Finish with the lighter colour on the middle of the lid (where the pupil would sit if the lid was closed) and a bit on the bottom of the outer third of the brown. Also a thin line of eyeliner across either the bottom or upper lash line. I recommend the upper though. :) And a dash of mascara to the lashes :)

7. All that's left is the lips! Line and fill with the lip pencil and add some of the lip Jam with the Lip brush. All done and ready to go for a light and breezy day !!

Hope you love this look :)

Shady Lady Eye Shadow

Hey Guys!
I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday afternoon! I sure am, considering I'm eating yum as Chocolate Mousse that I made earlier into the day! Haha (I just had to rub it in) !
Also I do have some news! I am now officially in a relationship! Yay's for me hehe !

Well anyways, time to get to the point haha.
This is Sportsgirls Shady Lady Eye Shadow Palette!
(Which was mentioned in a previous post)


So from what I remember I roughly paid $10 for it at Sportsgirl!
At the time, I was like, "meh $10, I may as well try it out" But not I am now kind of am regretting it!

The palette's actual looks it what made me buy it, and I was stupid enough to NOT sample the tester.
The Silver and White are the only two colours I like. The black is EXTREMELY hard to blend, and the pick comes up as a darker white. Was not happy.

I had to keep saying to myself "Emma, it was only $10, no biggy!"
But then I realised that I could of brought a sleek palette for roughly the same price, and yeah.. It was a sad moment.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone to be honest. Since the colours are made with talc, they feel really heavy on your lids. It made me feel like a hooker to be honest (not joking). But in all honesty, I give it a 5/10. It would be something that I would buy for a little kid, as their first make up... No joke!

So yeah.. That's my honest opinion... :/

(black, silver, pink, white)
