Alice in wonderland carnival make up

Had a wonderful  weekend painting the purple rubies carnival club as the charters from alice in wonderland.

The purple rubies are a great group of teenagers ( including my daughter) that have formed their own carnival group.

I used my new wolfle face paints and was not disappointed by the bright  colours and the ease in which it was applied.

 

New products

I like to keep up to date with new products and product reviews , so today I logged onto mehron’s website and Wow. It was just like being a kid in a sweet shop.
First there was the mike Ried brush set, and it went straight to the top of my wish list, but as I scrolled down I saw the new Prisma BlendSet Palette.
I love my Wolfe rainbow cakes but mehron have taken it a step further and made a complete set of cakes ranging from bright rainbow colours to shades of black.
The last thing I loved was mehron adgem a safe, LATEX-FREE adhesive to use for all body decorations.
I will be stocking all the above items as soon as I can them shipped over.

Pro Face No Sweat

With the sun shinning I thought it was a good time to blog about pro sweat.

Pro face no sweat is a skin prep used  to help  excessive perspiration which allows your make up to last longer in the hot weather  .

Quick Steps to Using Pro Sweat

1. Make sure your skin or application area is clean and free from adhesive, oil and dirt.
2. Apply a generous amount of  Pro face no Sweat on to a cotton ball and dab the cotton ball on your application area.

Once the Pro Face dries (Note: Do not touch your skin with your fingers to feel, look in a mirror to discern drying ) apply make up / face paints as normal.

Kryolan Hydro Mastic

Kryolan Hydro Mastic is a great product and can be good alternative to spirit gum as you only need water to wash it of.
Its great for sticking body glitters, use at children’s parties a costume rental.

How to Apply
Use a brush to apply Hydro Spirit Gum and allow to dry slightly before adhering the required hair or objects. Since this is a water-based preparation, Hydro Spirit Gum dries slowly. Warm air can be used to speed up the drying process. This product can be easily removed with soap and water.

I have read you can block out eyebrows with it, I have not tried this myself but here’s how to do it.
· Apply this spirit gum to eyebrows against the grain and with an eyebrow-brush brush hairs up and press flat against the skin.
· Powder with Translucent Powder for a matt finish.
· Apply Paint Stick makeup directly over brows.

We would love to read you reviews on this product.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

With the sun shinning most of the weekend was taken up in the garden, but  we did find the time to see the prince of Persia  the sands of time.

The story is of damned Persian prince  who gets hold of a magical dagger which can turn back time. This dagger becomes the centre of all interest and it’s the Prince’s duty to secure it from all evil forces. With him is the beautiful princess Tamina who also wants the dagger kept in safe hands.

Sorry did not like the film, maybe if you play the game you  might enjoy the film. It was full of holes and the story was week with lots of charters  , fighting , little story  and they all lived happily ever after as they could turn back time!
