Lumiere Cosmetics Review and Tutorial

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Cora (vintageortacky)

Hi Guys & Dolls! So  a few weeks ago, Lumiere Cosmetics asked me if I would be interested in trying their eyeshadow, and after checking out their really pro looking site, I was excited to try them out. When I got my package, I was so surprised it knocked my socks off! Just have a look for yourself! They sell their 2gram loose mineral shadows for $8 and their 3gram Pressed shadows for $9. The have pretty good swatches of all of their shadows on their website, which REALLY helps when buying online. The Customer service is GREAT, and overall, I’m quite impressed with this company.  GO LUMIERE! More Pictures and Swatches after the jump
Lumierecosmetics.com
Edit: I just found out that they sell 1 Gram jars for $5, and they sell 5 1/4 sample baggies for a penny! One more thing I though of, is these are more like a “grown up” mineral eyeshaodw. they have MUCH better “cling” than other mineral e/s I’ve used,  and they are less-sparkly, and the colors are too-loud. (ok, some are). just wanted to add that.

Hey Guys and Dolls! So, I recently received a few Paint FX cosmetics eye shadows to review and I wanted to share them with you.  They sell their E/S in different sizes, which is GREAT if you want to try a color. Their Sample baggies are only .85 cents!! These are all swatched over their Stickum Primer which I recommend for brightening up Mineral/loose eyeshadows. In the following looks I only used the Stickum Primer as a base. You can check out Paint FX Here

Secrets to Making Hair Color Last & Hair Coloring tips

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Cora (vintageortacky)

I pretty much covered everything I wanted to say in this VERY LONG video. As I think of more tips, I’ll add them in here:

Another good thing to do to prevent staining is to go around your hair line with petroleum jelly. this will “repel” most of the hair dye. Just make sure not to get it on your hair!

When using Vegetable based dyes like Special Effects follow the directions and make sure you shampoo and dry your hair right before coloring, but don’t condition.  the conditioner will kind of ” block” the colorant from staining your hair.

When using a traditional dye, it’s best to have slightly dirty hair. the oils will protect your hair during the dying process.

Red hair color is generally the hardest color to keep from fading. Just an FYI

Calling all “Blondes” : several companies make “violet” shampoos that prevent Brassiness.

How to Remove/Clean False Lashes

Posted on July 7, 2009 by Cora (vintageortacky)

After  I made my false lash video a lot of you asked me how I re-use my lashes, when I put mascara on them etc. I thought it would be best explained in a video. I’m sorry It took me SO long to get this video to you guys. I’ve been having major ME vs My Computer problems, Which will be getting solved VERY soon. (that means I’m getting a new one.  LOL)

This video isn’t much of a “photo op” but I took one just because I liked my makeup. I REALLY need to do an updated pin-up video, considering the last one I did was in 2007….

Midori Eyes

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Cora (vintageortacky)

Hey Guys & Dolls! I haven’t done a tutorial that was just for Vintageortacky in a LONG time ( like, may24th, my style warrior Video…WOW).

I have some more wearable tone-down stuff coming up soon, but I’ve been so inspired by green lately, I needed to do green look! Also, this is a variation on something a lot of you have asked me to do.
