St Patricks day inspired look and opinions wanted

Happy Friday my Sparkles woohoo its the weekend!

 Do any of you have any plans? 

As you know I am working tomorrow at a photo shoot sooo excited but tomorrow night hubbie and I plan on celebrating with 2 dear friends, I dont suppose I will be home much before Sunday afternoon lol. 

Anyway I am having a pamper day today after hoovering and washing all the floors, its a daily chore with having 3 huskys! It was then onto my hair and skin. I mean come on I have got to be glowing tomorrow cant have the models out doing me now can I lol. 

Now I have a question for you I am off back to the UK soon and intend on doing a little shopping. So what is your favorite must have full coverage foundation, primer and highlighter? Give me a few items you cant live without so I can try them please, They can be drug store or high end. 

Dont foget to check out the  FACEBOOK page event for this months swap and sign up for it. 

Last night I had a little bit of a play around with some green eye shadow and lips, to create a look to wear on Monday to celebrate St Patricks Day. No I am not Irish but I do come from Liverpool, which is known as Little Ireland due to the fact there are a lot of Irish decendents there. 

What do you think? Please excuse my lovely yellow band lol Im liking the way my eyes look in the top picture. 

Well thats all from me folks to have a great weekend with love and hugs from my house to yours

Looks

Good Morning Sparkles, 

Todays post is a quick share of a few different makeup looks and colours I have been using over the past month or so. 

i love experimenting with colour and find that lips are the easiest and a dramatic way to change and spice up a look quickly. 

I recently went to Liverpool to visit my folks and stupidly forgot to pack my lipstick hahaha i guess thats as good an excuse to buy another one as anything else right?!?!

I started out with a pink lip and then replaced it with a bold red colour . . .  which one do you like best? 

Another look I use alot is bold lined eyes with a muted lip. This look is using benefits bene tint which I love for just that hint of colour. 

This look I used more of a dramatic eye and a plain lip. Eyes are another great way to play and dramatise a look but remember to pick either ur eyes or lips to play with dont try and do it with both aspects at the same time.




I recently did a NYX haul (will share in a different post the products I got) and decided to use some of them to create a soft natural look.


So my sparkles, what makeup do you like to experiment with? Do you have a go to look or do you wear something different every day?

Well thats it for my quick look share today hope you are all having a great start to the week.

Stay safe and well and dont forget to sparkle

love and lipstick

Small haul

Good afternoon my sparkles, 

What a lovely sunny day it is here in Norway today. What about where you are? 

I left hubbie in bed today and decided to head into the local town and do a wee bit of shopping and pampering of myself in the form of having my haircut. Now for those of you who may know me you will know this is quite a  big thing for me as I am so fussy when it comes to people cutting my hair and trust issues, however at 10 this morning I was relaxed and enjoying having my head played with. As  much as I have trust issues with people when they have a pair of scissors in their hands washing my hair is a different story lol. 

So after my little pamper session I headed into the shopping centre, now ok to most of you that is going to sound like there is a ton of shops but trust me I think there is about 20 and for where I live thats a lot lol. 

After having a wee wonder around I headed into the trusted makeup store, well whats a girl to do, Hi I am Vikkie and I have a makeup addiction. 

I picked up these 3 items by a swedish company called viva la diva. They are cruelty free and the lipstick lid is inlayed with little crystals  . .  soo sweet. 

Next up was these 3 lip products by Rimmel London. We do not get a huge selection of Rimmel products here, which is a shame. I have been wanting to try the Apocalips products since they first came out but up untill today  I had never seen them here, unfortunatly there was only this one shade :(


I thien treated myself to these two tops. I am normally just a vest top kinda girl but I also have a weakness for lace effect and cut away shoulders or backs so I couldnt resist this black top above.


The cut of the peach one is a little flared around the bottom so it hides them little lumps and bumps some of us have lol. No idea what I will wear it with though. Do you ever do that, buy something but then have nothing to wear it with so it sits in your closet till you either A) buy something  or B) throw or give it away ?

Well on that front I am off to do some house work and upload a video etc etc. Hope everyone has had or is having an amazing Monday.

Keep Sparkling

Love and Lipstick

Recent Videos.

Happy Sunday Sparkles,

I have been a busy little bee this weekend with my recording so I thought I would share with you the videos that have been uploaded to my youtube channel Makeup by Tink.

This video is a recent haul, well we all know just how much we love to see the goodies others have gotten dont we?!?!

On my instagram, facebook and twitter I asked you guys to give me some questions to answer and this is the resulting video. 

We ended up with a drunken visitor last night so I escaped into the spare room to record my video to share the quick tip I mentioned from the benefit counter for using the pore fessional primer. This works well also with NYX pore filler and other primers that do the same job or are meant to anyway lol.

I am off out for a nice  long walk as the sun is shinning again today and then maybe record another video or two while my roast pork is cooking mmmm cauliflower cheese and roast spuds mmmm, so what do you all have planned?

stay beautiful and sparkle

love and tigger onesies lol

First time with benefit

Hello My Sparkles, 

I know it has been a while since I have managed to update here, please forgive me I have been away to visit family back home in Liverpool.  

One of the good things of having to fly is of course duty free lol. 

While I was waiting for my flight out of Liverpool I killed time by sitting and being pampered at the Benefit booth in Duty free. 

We all know how good the pore fessional primer is meant to be and if you dont where oh where have you been. 

A quick tip for the primer is not to use it as a base on its own but to mix it in with your foundation before applying it. This worked a real treat. I will do a video over the weekend with some helpful hints like this so watch out for that. 

I decided to get my self the primping with the stars kit which includes: 

Stay dont Stray a concealer and eyeshadow primer. 

Some Kind of Gorgeous  a foundation faker in medium 

Benetint a rose coloured lip and cheek stain

The Pore Fessional Primer 

Girl meets pearl a liquid pearl for the face 

There Real Mascara. 

I am in love with the pore fessional and the mascara and to be honest plan on buying the full size versions next time I am in the UK as i am sorry to say they are not on sale here in Norway.. Over the weekend I will also do a full review of the products mentioned in the kit but just wanted to give you a little peek of some goodies Ive tried recently. 

Dont forget to head over to the FACEBOOK PAGE and sign up for the monthly swap for march. Hope you all have a great weekend. 

Love and sparkles
