EOTD: Purple Haze

Okay, the name is anything but original, but today I finally found the time and energy to play with my make-up and photograph an EOTD :D.

As you can see, it's a purple themed EOTD (o really...lol).

I used some products by HEMA, Catrice, Essence, MNY and Rimmel.

The pictures are pretty dark and don't show how vibrant the colours really are, but hey, what's new.

Eyes Open:

And Eyes Closed:

What I used:

Eyes:

*lash curler

*lash comb

*Catrice Small Eye Shadow Brush

*HEMA Normal Eye Shadow Brush

*Hema Cream Eyeshader (Pencil) in 12

*Hema Cream Eyeshader (Pencil) in 14

*Hema Cream Eyeshader (Pencil) in 06

*Essence Metallics Qattro in 02 Steel Me (only the lightest colour, silver)

*Catrice Absolute Eye Colour in 230 Where Is My Caddy-Li-Lac

*MNY Mono Eye Shadow in 517

*MNY Mono Eye Shadow in 529

*L'Oreal Paris Color Appeal Eye Shadow in 21 Golden Beige

*Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in 061 Jet Black

*Essence Magic Design Mascara Waterproof (Black)

*Essence 2 in 1 Kajal Pencil in 06 Flirty and Hip (dark silver and light pink)

Face:

*New Catrice Powder Brush (not a kabuki)

*Catrice Multi Colour Compact Powder in 010 Rose Beige

I was also wearing Catrice Lip Appeal Lip Gloss in Hello, Darling! , but I made the pics a few hours after applying it (and having dinner) so that was gone already.

How to:

(I forgot to use an eye shdow base :S.)

First use the HEMA Eye Shader in 12 (a shimmery, light, lavender colour) on the whole lid except the inner corners and the outer v.

Then use the HEMA Eye Shader in 06 (sliver) on the inner corners and the HEMA Eye Shader in 14 on the outer v.

After that use the bigger eye shadow brush to blend the cream shadows a bit.

Now take the smaller Catrice Eye Shadow Brush to apply the Catrice Absolute Eye Colour in 230 Where Is My Caddy-Li-Lac (a lilac colour) on the whole lid.

And blend again.

Now use the MNY eye shadow in 517 in the crease.

Blend it wel and blend it well above the crease, so you can see it with your eyes open as well.

Now use the L'oreal eye shadow under your eye brows (on your brow bone) as a high lighter (did I spell that correctly???) and blend it with the shadow in the crease a bit, so the shadow in the crease looks less harsh.

Then use the silver eye shadow from the Essence Quattro on the inner corners and blend it well.

After that, use the MNY eye shadow in 529 on the outer v, and once again, blend it.

Now use the dark silver colour of the Essence 2 in 1 kajal Pencil on your lower waterline.

And the Black Rimmel Kohl Pencil on the upper waterline.

After that, curl your lashes with a lash curler, and then comb them through with a lash comb.

Now apply the Essence mascara.

After that all you have to do is apply the compact powder with a brush and apply the lip gloss.

That's how I did it :D (sorry for the bad written tutorial btw!).

Would you wear an EOTD like this, or do you think it's too bright?

Until next time,

How To Fold An Origami Frog

This is a tutorial on how to fold origami frogs!

You're probably thinking...why would I want/need to fold an origami frog!???

Well...for starters: they are awesome and cute and hop (if you fold them correctly), they are easy to make AND you can use them for your Halloween costume?

Halloween costume???

Yes, I will post a tutorial on how to make a Halloween costume with origami frogs later today (made especially for Serena Verbon).

What you need:

*a table to fold on

*paper to fold (any paper that's in a square, folding paper or special origami paper)

And here's how you do it:

1) You choose a piece of paper and lay it flat on the table.

2)You fold it in half.

3) You fold the paper open.

4) You turn the paper clock-wise.

5) Again, you fold the paper in half

6) You fold the paper open.

7) You turn the paper upside-down.

8) You turn the paper clock-wise so that one point is pointing down.

8) You make a diagonal fold.

9) You fold the paper open.

10) You turn the paper clock-wise.

11) You make another diagonal fold.

12) You fold the paper open.

13) You then have to fold 2 out of 4 sides in so that you get a double triangle.

14) Then fold the right side downward (in half) to form the base of the leg/back.

15) Do the same thing on the left side.

16) And fold the right leg half back.

17) Do the same thing on the left side.

Now you have legs :).

18) Turn the frog upside down (now it looks kinda like a kite with legs ;P ).

19) Now fold the right side upward (in half).

20) Do the same thing on the right side (it starts looking like a frog).

21) Now fold the right side half way down.

22) Do the same thing on the left side.

23) To make the frog able to jump, you have to fold the legs up about 1 cm.

24) Then fold it back half a centimeter.

25) Now your frog is ready to jump :).

Some froggies:

If you want to make the Halloween costume you are going to need a lot, so you better start folding ;).

Do you find this tutorial usefull?

Until next time,

Freya
