When did you become a make up junkie?
Sofia: I started becoming a makeup junkie around Sept of last year when I started watching makeup tuts on youtube...that started my addiction.


HAHA good old youtube! How did your collection grow and who did you start watching first on youtube?
Sofia: I went from a small caboodles train case to a vanity full of makeup!
well Id have to say aubrey [fafinetexx3] the first youtube tuts I saw were hers.


So what products do you find yourself into at the moment?
Sofia: I am really into blushes and lippies..no brand in particular


Seriously "no brand in particular" so if I gave you $500 and said you can ONLY use it at one store where would you go?
Sofia: OK I lied!!! lol!! I would either spend it on mac or nyx products..both very good quality makeup I love..


I knew I'd get a brand out of you! Ok what is one beauty tip you can't live without.
Sofia: prime everything...esp with my skin...I have to prime my face, lips and eyes..I don't know what I would do without primer.


Very true.speaking of skin. how do you keep your skin so radiant?
Sofia: I wash it daily using st Ives products and I don't use makeup on a daily basis..I basically let my skin breathe all week and just wear makeup on the weekends.


So what would be your weekend look?
Sofia: I don't have a weekend look in particular I just pick a shirt and then go from there..I'm that type of girl who tries to match her eye makeup with her outfit...weird... I know!


Not weird at all! Is there any particular celebrity who's style you idolize?
Sofia: mmmm?? I really love Kelly Clarkson..her style is very casual and I am exactly a casual type of girl..I don't like getting all dressed up..comfy is best for me.


She's pretty laid back..jeans t-shirt kinda girl. Do you have any tips for the ladies who are just getting into makeup and fashion?
Sofia: spend wisely..when I first started on makeup..I just bought things to "collect" and not things I knew I was going to use..now I have a bunch of makeup I don't use, just wasted money..so that would be my #1 advice "spend wisely".


Great advice. Lastly what does the hubby think about the make up addiction?
Sofia: omg don't get me started on that he thinks I'm crazy, yet he still supports my addiction..he says it's because he loves me..he's a sweetheart.


Thanks Sofia!

What is your favorite RED lipstick?

One iconic beauty staple is red lipstick. Why you ask? Because it's works with every skintone..

Well as long as you know when to warm up a red or cool it down your fine.

I hardly wear lipsticks..It takes alot to get use to!
BUT I am slowly getting into it :)
Darker skintones look great in more BLUE based RED lipsticks..
I didn't use lipstick in this picture..lol I know I cheated I used:
Revlon colorstay lipliner in VIXEN & some clear gloss.
My favorite lipstick is So Scarlet from the Cult of Cherry launch!
So what is your favorite lipstick??

Yup my inspiration was the lovely Rihanna. I think she's edgy, beautiful and a trend setter!

90% of the time she can be found dressed in black. I also saw a few recent pictures with her in jumpers!

So I decided to put the 2 together :)

Jumper from Billibong $1.00 yes you heard me!!
$1.00!! from winners

Belt $1.00 from stitches on Orfus roadBangle and ring $1.00 each from H&M
The ring is "SAZZY" I love it!
Earrings are $1.00 from Le Chateau on Ofrus road
Smaller chain necklace/headband is $1.00 from H&M

The big one is the most expensive item at $14.90 from H&M

I'm sorry if I gave you guys heart attacks. Theses are all REAL prices from SALE sections in all of these stores.

Trust me I'm the best person to go shopping with because some how I find the deals!

Plus one of my mottos is DON'T buy it unless it's on SALE..lol

Beauty Review: BeautySoClean™


Thanks to Linda over at myprettypinkbox.com I have had the opportunity to review July's MPBB promo.

As scary as this sounds bacteria can grow on your make up.... Unfortunately that means you can get pink eye, cold sores and other nasty stuff I don't even want to talk about...

This is where BeautySoClean comes in!!

BeautySoCleanis a revolutionary line of cosmetic sanitizing products;
a new beauty care regimen developed by professional makeup artists with an innovative system that effectively cleans, rejuvenates and removes bacteria from cosmetic products without altering the makeup in any way.

I personally feel like you don't have to be a make up artist to enjoy this product! Sanitizing our is almost NEVER talked about! It's one of the most important parts to keeping us beautiful :)

I would give this product 5/5 stars because it has made my day soo much easier! It's the perfect size, so I can throw it in my traincase, make up bag or purse. I swap on makeupalley and having BeautySoCleanallows me to sanitize everything I have on the spot!

**Of course I had to get some HD pictures for you too see how amazing this product is!!**

I got the spray and wipes.
The wipes are small and convenient!
The wipes are perfect for lipsticks,pencils,lipsticks..

How does it work?

Spray: Spray 15 cm away from powder based products.

I also use mine on my brushes and lip products!!
Wipe: Wipe gently to sanitizeAre you still NOT convinced??
