Busy Bee I am...review of precision ink, lessons, pop up salons oh my!

So it has to be said I have been so uber busy lately with teaching and organizing my pop up vintage salon it has been crazy busy.

Teaching has been really fun, last week I had my level 2 create animal face paint design think about create it into a 3D design with adding highlights and shadows in the appropriate places. They really went for it, I had lemurs running round, tigers, leopards, birds, snakes and a pretty cartoon cat.
Have to get them ready for the AHT comps, really want some winners from my class, I believe we can winner a few prizes but its just getting them working on their days off....

My level 3 Media Make-up group are also doing fantastically well with their fashion formative assessments, all merits and distinctions and some of the designs were amazingly clever mixing various cultures and traditions in with fashion trends as well as some inventive use of lashes.

As mentioned before I am going to do a proper review of Illamasqua's precision ink eye liner in "scribe". With photos!!

So the product packaging is neat, compact and just want you want in an eye liner, fits in your kits nicely. The colour is fantastic, stark white...white as white can be. Its the only product I have found that is true white and the lasting power on this is amazing. Literally having to use oily based product to get it off my eyelids at night, not matter what the heat/rain/storms/wind/crying it holds up. I even accidentally rubbed my eye and it was still in place!!
What I love about the product as well is the applicator, its really fine long tip which means I can neatly and precisely line the inner corners of my eyes with ease and as I have a habit of drawing double lines its so quick and easy with this tip. Unlike other eyeliners, it can also be used over eye shadows and doesn't pick up the colour so your not constantly cleaning the applicator.

The product also doubles up as a nail art pen, all you do is draw on your nail and apply top coat, its that simple. You can also create some beautifully intricate designs up your fingers on the skin and it will last the night!
Illamasqua's precision ink eyeliners do come in a variety of different colours such as  Alchemy (gold, I also have this one and its beautiful with black dramatic eyes sample in the photo below), Glister (pealised nude colour), Wisedom (antiques gold colour), Havoc ( aubergine) and Abyss (rich black) All can be used as nail art pens and all amazing for applying detail work to any make-up look.

As some of my students are using 1960s style for their fashion make-ups I have create my own simple 60s inspired look. Love black lips!!!

So there a little low down on whats going on, also my vintage pop up salon will be at Betty and Co Vintage fair on the 13th October 10.30 till 5pm at The Moor Suite, Heaton Moor, Stockport, come along and see me for a rockabilly or vintage make-over, or a new hair do or a lovely mini manicure!!
