Alice's Bedroom Makeover Part 3: A Peek At My New Dresser

Hi lovelies, I hope you are having a fantastic week so far. Another installment in my Bedroom Makeover series, and this one I'm particularly exited about. My parents were kind enough to buy me a new dresser (in agreement that this was the last piece of furniture they were to ever buy me before I move out), and I absolutely love it. I choose a dresser from Freedom Furniture in a light wood, and it finally fits all my folded clothes! I've tried a minimalist approach towards what I keep on it, so there isn't as much as my previous What's On My Dresser post. I much prefer having less though - I feel it looks tidier and more mature. To see a full image of the dresser on the Freedom Furniture website click here.

Hi all! As promised, another "What's on my (Friend's) Face" post today - these seem to be so popular with you all, and I absolutely love doing them. Last month I did my friend Bridget's makeup, to see that click HERE.

This month I did one of my best friend's Nathalie's makeup - she is absolutely gorgeous, and her eye lashes are so god damn long and thick! Since last month's makeup was a little lighter and more natural, I decided to go a bit crazy with Nat's makeup (and she was very willing to as well!). I love how it turned out - the bronze smokey eye and the bright orange lips look amazing, especially on her. 

I decided to do a really shimmery smokey bronze eye look - it looked amazing on her eyes, and she pulled it off so well! I kept it pretty smokey and "messy" - I made sure there were no clean crisp lines, and everything was blended out nicely, The key when doing a eye makeup look like this is to layer and blend, layer and blend. I focused most of the darkness on her outer v and her lash line, and also put quite a bit on her lower lash line to balance the heaviness on the top. 

I was originally going to do a nude lipstick since the eye makeup was heavy and smokey - however Nat insisted on this orange lipstick and after much hesitation, I actually love it! It looks amazing on her, and goes well with all the bronze on the eyes. 

Products used:

Revlon Colourstay Foundation in True Beige  mixed with Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation in Soft Beige

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Wet N Wild Blush in Perlesent Pink

Sax Eyebrow Kit

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad To The Bronze

Urban Decay Naked Palette - eye shadows in Smog (all over the lid and blended into lower lash line), Darkhorse (outer v) and Virgin (inner corners)

Maybelline Gel Liner in Black (smudged into outer upper lash line)

Maybelline Colossal Mascara with Maybelline Great Lash on top

Wet N Wild lipstick in 24 Carrot Gold  (A really good dupe for Macs Moronge lipstick if you are looking for one on a budget)

Thank you Nat for being an amazing model and an amazing friend, you are so gorgeous and lovely and amazing! I wish I was so good at taking pictures as you are, your honestly a natural in front of the camera, and thanks for letting me go crazy on your makeup. I'm so fortunate to have such willing, beautiful friends :) 

Soon I will be doing a final room tour so look forward to that, and if you have a blog of your own, let me know in the comments and I will make sure to check it out. Love you all!

Hi all! Hope you are having a fantastic week. A month or two ago I did my cousin's makeup, and all of you seemed to really enjoy it. I think it's refreshing to see makeup on a variety of different faces, not just mine, so I've decided to make this an ongoing monthly series - each month I will (try to - no promises) do a friend's makeup and photograph it for you! 

A few days ago I did my beautiful friend Bridget's makeup- she is absolutely stunning (and very funny too!), and I really wanted to focus on her gorgeous green eyes. She is one of my bestest friends so you may see her, and other friends of mine in the near future. The products used will be listed towards the end.

I decided to focus on her gorgeous green eyes, and after much research I learnt that purple/taupe eye shadows suit her eye colour. I used mac satin taupe (a shimmery taupe with purple undertones) all over the lid and blended in some darker, neutral (yet slightly purple) eye shadows into the outer V. I kept her skin really fresh and light, because let's be honest - who needs foundation if you've got skin like her!

Products used:

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in Soft Beige
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
Elf Brow Kit
Elf Brow Gel
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion
Mac Satin Taupe Eye Shadow (all over the lid - I built the color up as I wanted it really smokey)
Urban Decay Naked Palette Eye Shadows in Hustle (outer V), Darkhorse (blended onto the top very outer lash line), and Virgin (in the inner corners)
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara
NYX Butter Gloss in Eclair

I hope you enjoyed this blog post,  I loved doing her makeup and she is honestly so beautiful and lovely! Thank you Bridget for letting me do your makeup honey! Look forward to another Bedroom Makeover post - it seemed to get thousands of views so I assume that you like them, so look forward to that next! Love you all!

Hi lovelies! I hope you are having a fantastic week! Today I'm going to share with you my Travel Makeup Essentials.

I have already done a "whats in my travel makeup bag", where I show you all of the makeup I'm bringing with me. Enjoy!

Makeup products:

• Maybelline "Fit me" Concealer - shade light
• Elf Shine Eraser blotting sheets

What's On My (cousin's) Face - simple, neutral, every day makeup

What's On My (cousin's) Face - simple, neutral, every day makeup

Follow me on Bloglovin: http://ablogbyaliceolivia.blogspot.co.nz/

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a fantastic week. My gorgeous cousin Martha came over to stay from England, and I was so exited to see her! 

She is such a sweetheart, plus she's absolutely stunning an soooo photogenic (jealous!), and I love doing her make up. I thought I would show you the simple makeup look I did on her, and also introduce you to one of my favorite people in the world! 

I kept every thing pretty neutral and simple, and I think this would be a perfect makeup look for every day (work, uni, school, etc...), or you could swap the nude lipstick for a deep red lipstick, or add winged eyeliner, and it would be perfect for a night out. 

Products used:

• Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
• Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder
• Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
• Mac Eye Shadows in jest (blended all over lid), and Satin Taupe (in outer half/V)
• Urban Decay Naked Palette - Eye Shadows in virgin (in inner corners) and smog (on outer upper lash line)
• Clinique Mascara (unsure of the actual mascara as its Martha's, not mine)
• elf Brow Kit in medium
• Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in nude delight

I hope you enjoyed this post, I absolutely love this makeup look. It's pretty neutral but I was determined to use Mac Satin Taupe in a blog post, and it compliments Martha's gorgeous brown eyes so well.

Let me know what you thought of this blog post, I love to read all your comments and recommendations! Love you all!

Hi lovelies! I hope you have all had a fantastic week. Today's post I am super exited about, I am sharing with you my everyday makeup. 

This is what I wear on a daily basis; for school, on weekends, or just popping out of the house for a wee while. I don't wear any foundation or fancy eye shadow, as I feel like it just isn't necessary (plus, I love keeping my shimmery eye shadows and liquid liner for getting more dressed up). 

This is super simple and easy to recreate - all I have done is just made a better more enhanced, fresher version of me (who doesn't look like she's had 2 hours of sleep).

For my everyday makeup, I mainly focus on my brows and lashes, and like to change up my blusher frequently. I keep everything else very simple, pretty, and just natural. 

I wear a nude shade all over my lid, which literally is just a flesh toned matte shade. I then wear a little pencil liner blended into my lash line, and add a little white in the inner corners of my eyes, if I am looking especially tired.

My 'Every Day Makeup' products are:

Mabyelline Fit Me Concealer in light
Elf Eyebrow Kit in medium
Clinique Blusher in bashful plum
Clinique Eye Shadow in french vanilla (all over lid) - eye shadow on far left

Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Liner in black (blended into lower and upper lash line)

Australias Eyeliner in white (in inner corners of eyes)

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

I wasn't wearing any lip stick/gloss in the picture, just Burts Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. However when I do put lip product on, it is either my Revlon Lip Butter in peach parfait, NYX Butter Gloss in tiramisu, or Maybelline Baby Lips in cherry crush.

There you go! I really hope you enjoyed this blog post - please let me know any future blog ideas in the comments as I would love to hear them! Love you all!

Stuck Inside on a Rainy Day

Stuck Inside on a Rainy Day


Follow me on Bloglovin: http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11555387

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! Right now I am stuck at home in the middle of a cyclone... I know, crazy right!? 

While windy, stormy weather is my favorite kind of weather, sometimes things can get a little lonely and boring when you are stuck inside all day. Here I have showed you some photos of things I do when I'm stuck inside, or just any cute little photos that I think you may enjoy looking at. 

Thank you again to all of your support these past months with my blog, I honestly cannot express how thankful I am to have all of you in my life! Enjoy! 

Reading magazines is one of my favorite things to do while stuck inside. Any magazines, or light books are perfect for a stormy day.

I also love to give myself a little at home spa manicure, here I have on OPI Teenage Dream (also, I didn't realize that my nails were not completely dry, so that's why I have fluff sticking to them!).

I like to treat myself to a nice little pamper morning if I don't have anywhere to go too. Pure Fiji Body Butter is absolutely gorgeous, and super moisturizing.

There will be an upcoming "Whats on my face" post, about this super simple look, so stay tuned! 

I love baking when I am in the house all day; there is literally nothing better than snuggling up with a warm blanket and a warm cookie! Let me know if you would like me to blog this recipe, it is truly fantastic! 

On rainy days I mainly watch you tube videos, read magazines, blog, and read other peoples blogs! My favorite blogs of all time are:

http://www.lilypebbles.co.uk/

http://www.viviannadoesmakeup.com/

http://www.tanyaburr.co.uk/

http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.co.nz/

http://littlemacbook.blogspot.co.nz/

One of my favorite meals of all time is my Dad's Fijian Chicken Curry. It is absolutely delicious, I could honestly eat this for the rest of my life, and it is especially perfect for cold stormy nights.

There you go! I hope you all enjoyed this random blog post, and if you are stuck inside because of stormy weather, make the most of it! I love you all, and will see you all very soon!
