Hozier Body Art

I havent been doing much body painting for a while now so I thought I would be more active and paint more.

Today I was listening to Hozier because he is the best singer in the world! (And his hair is to die for) and so I decided to try and paint him.

I must admit im not overly happy with the end result, just because I think the botton of the face is too long and no matter how much I tried getting the nose right, it always looked out of proportion. Saying that, I do think it was a good attempt at a portrait.

I dont normally do a lot of portaits because I know how hard they can be but something sparked a fire in my brain which all of a sudden made me want to draw Hoziers face on my leg.

I didnt use snazaroo face paints this time because I wanted to try out something different for a change. I used Maybelline newyork master precise liquid eyeliner in Black and Forest Brown. Before they dried on the skin I quickly smudged it with my finger to blend over my skin.

These eye liners are a pen kind of style with liquid eyeliner coming out if it. They also have a thin point which is amazing for precise application. 

I would definitely recommend these eyeliners to anyone as they are super easy to use and stay on a long time.

Bones and Glory Collection

This is my own art collection called bones and glory.
The theme for this was body adornments using body parts.
I wanted to use my love of weird and unusual things for this project and I thought, what would creep people out? And because im interesting in making jewellery, I thought this would all blend in nicely.
Half of my pieces are make out of air drying clay and the other half are made out of porcelain clay. I used porcelain clay because it turns a nice white colour and is light. I have found air drying clay harder to work with as it drys when your not even finnished with it and it cracks more. But because its on display and not moving, I put up with the clay.

I am very happy with how this all turned out.

Melting coffee ART

I havent been posting my art work for a while so I thought I would try and get back into it.
This is a piece called Melting coffee. I used moulds of my face and filled the moulds with coffee. I then froze the coffee in my freezer and then took the frozen coffee out of the moulds and recorded the melting process.
I love how the coffee slowly disforms the face, making it abstract looking.

Lush Review: Unicorn Horn

I am totally obsessed with this bubble bar at the moment.

For a start, lets be honest, who wouldnt love this bright, colourful unicorn horn. Anything to do with unicorns, im in!

It has a relaxing smell of lavender which is perfect after a busy day of work. Gives off a normal amount of bubbles too.

I am gutted its only limited edition and I wish I had bought more of them because it really is a nice product to have in the bath.

I mix it in my bath with a butter ball just before I go to bed. It relaxes me down really well.

I would definitely recommend the unicorn horn to anyone.

MUA review: velvet lips

The colours I used in my picture was called Funk and Reckless.

I always have half and half thoughts about anything with velvet on or in it but I am starting to like this lipgloss.It did feel really weird when i first tried it because im not used to anything velvety on my lips.

It has a great coverage with only one brush on the lips and the colour stays strong. Great for people who like bold strong lips.

The only down side to it is that after a few hours it does start to flake a little bit.
Still a good buy for me.

Robot on the inside

For this look I used snazaroo facepaints and bennye eyeshadows. 
For the ripped skin I used liquid latex and a mehron bruise wheel.

Working on a back is always my favourite place on the body to paint on because it is smooth,flat and is a nice big surface to work on. Yes this look took a while to do. 3-4 hours to be exact.

I like working on things like this for hours because it tests my patients and also builds my skills up more as an artist.

Detox Drink

This year im trying to be healthy, so ive been making this detox drink to help flush out any toxins in my body. This drink is very refreshing and taste amazing, plus if you get tired of the same taste you can change the ingredients to suit your taste buds.

You will need:
Watermelon/Cucumber
Lemon/Lime
Mint Leaves
Water
1 Jug

How To:
Cut up 1/4 watermelon and 1 Lemon and cut them into little cubes.

Next place them into the Jug and add a small handful of mintleaves into the jug too.

Fill the Jug up with cold water and place in the fidge over night ready to drink the next day.

You can drink it daily.

If you feel like having a change, you can replace the watermelon with cucumber or the lemon with a lime.
