Monsters inc


I can’t believe its been 12 years since we saw the first monsters inc film. 
Team pixie was only a pipe dream back then ,We took our little girl age 6 and she loved  the film. tonight we saw monsters university with our grown up girl age 17 and our little boy age 3 how times have changed.
Once the film was over I thought of what face paint colours best matched Mike Wazowski and did we have any prosthetic   horns that matched sullys.
I love my job and my family :)

GRimas LIPSTICK (PURE)

Teampixie is now stocking Grimas pure lipstick  

Grimas pure  does not contain any chemical preservatives (such as parabens) or halogenated organic compounds. The ‘Pure’ products, like all Grimas products, are gluten-free and unperfumed.) It does contain a taste component (fruit) that is legally required to be declared as a perfume. 

Colours
There is a wide range of matt shades of Lipstick (Pure), including Base Pure – a clear lipstick that can be mixed with all other shades to make a colour more transparent. The range also boasts a number of glossy Pearl tints in addition to the matt colours

Procedure
To emphasise the contours or to change them, use a lip pencil to draw lines, working from the outside inwards. A very thin layer of Grimas Anti Shine can be applied as a primer for extra adhesion. If the lips are dry, first apply a thin layer of Grimas Lipstick Base Pure. To prevent Lipstick (Pure) from running into any creases around the mouth, you can apply a thin layer of Grimas Camouflage Make-up Pure to the lips beforehand.
Take the Lipstick (Pure) onto a spatula (even if you are working from a stick) and apply it with a lip brush. First colour the middle of the lips and then colour the edges, working from the outside inwards. Dab the result with a tissue to matt it off. To make the lips ‘kiss-proof’, powder the matt Lipstick (Pure) off copiously with Grimas Fixing Powder.

Prosthetic wound

At Pixiedust  we are always on the look for fun new products and its important to us to test and try them  before we add them to the website ( that’s the fun part)

This week I received a sample of a prosthetic wound that’s part of the new range buy Ghoulish, we love their masks and their wound did not disappoint. 
  

The piece I received had lovely thin edges and was quick and easy to apply .

I applied the wound  using mehron spirit gum and then went around the edge with some kryolan  latex .

I added some make up with a bruise wheel and some blood to the wound .


 We are hoping to stock this product for this coming halloween.

Countdown to Book Week



With book week fast approaching this weeks blogs will focus around ideas for book week.

All young children love winnie the poo and his wonderful friends. but this book week idea is from my favorite A A Milne poem. “Buckingham Palace” 
 
Buckingham Palace by Alan Alexander

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
Alice is marrying one of the guard.
"A soldier's life is terrible hard,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
We saw a guard in a sentry-box.
"One of the sergeants looks after their socks,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
We looked for the King, but he never came.
"Well, God take care of him, all the same,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
They've great big parties inside the grounds.
"I wouldn't be King for a hundred pounds,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
A face looked out, but it wasn't the King's.
"He's much too busy a-signing things,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
"Do you think the King knows all about me?"
"Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea,"
Says Alice.
