Canucks Game 2 Makeup

Here is the second look for the Stanley Cup finals:

 Okay these lashes are insane!!
Up close they look like classic drag queen falsies. Huge and obvious, definately not very wearable. After I put them on, I regretted it. I felt like they ruined the look, even though it is meant to be fun.

BUT, they photograph amazing!!! Is it just me or what?? They don't look as silly and infact they give a more sexy, dreamy, pinup look. I am dumbfounded. These lashes will require more thought and perhaps more use (for photographic purposes of course)

Revlon - Copper Penny

I just painted my nails with this colour and I have to say, LOVE IT!

Ummmm..... a little messy

Copper Penny is amazing, it looks exactly as is it does in the jar. The formulation is amazing, not too runny, not too thick, no streaks. You can get away with only one coat of polish too, it is that good.

Colour checks out

They had 2 other colours, a gold and a silver...I might have to check them out..

Looking for MAC's Club dupe in Canada?

If you are disappointed that Wet'n'Wild aren't (or haven't yet) selling their Comfort Zone pallete in Canada, and are lusting after the MAC Club eyeshadow dupe that everyone has been going on about, don't fret.

The same colour can be found in the Limited Edition Night Elf palette, (I bought mine at Zellar's).

:)

3 wants,5 impulse!

Wet'n'wild Comfort Zone palette- I managed to get a hold of this while a friend was traveling in the USA. 

I love it!! I can't believe how amazing these shadows are! I have been using them everyday. WANT

Wet'n'wild Night Elf palette - Bought this when I was still on a high from the Comfort Zone. IMPULSE

EOS lipbalm - I have been lusting after these for years and they were right under my nose, in the local Rexal drugstore!!! Mind you they were on the very bottom shelf...WANT

Annabelle bronzer in Borabora Sun - For some reason I had to have this...packaging is nice, I like the 4 different shades, it is only a little shimmery, is a bit powdry however, so does require some extra TLC when applying but..IMPULSE

Annabelle Volume Lip lipgloss-....but the model looked so good with it on! I couldn't help it! Decent packaging, like the colour, it brings out peachy tones in nude lipstick particularly well, does not plump lips whatsoever..IMPULSE

L'Oreal  Nude Lipstick #235 - Went in on buy get one with my mom (she made me) and it is okay, it is moisturizing but has a little of that perfumey old lady smell, colour is same as my lips.. IMPULSE

Marcelle Moisture Rich Foundation in Barely There - the name speaks for it self on this one, it is really moisturizing but the pigmentation is brutal, it is more like a tinted moisturizer...in fact they probably have more coverage...I don't want a lot of coverage for the summer though, so this works, NEEDS to be applied with a brush, I don't hate it...IMPULSE

Annabelle Eyeliner in Mink - I have been looking for a brown eyeliner for a while and I bought this because it was the only brown that didn't have red undertones, it is a cooltoned greyish brown, which I like, formula isn't the best but that is what you get....WANT

Featuring: Annabelle bronzer, and lipgloss, Marcelle foundation as well as Comfort Zone palette

I need help.

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer

After too many afternoons of discovering flakey face in the bathroom mirror at school, I decided to pick up a foundation primer. 

I picked up the Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer a few weeks ago and have been giving it a whirl ever since.

 

I have to say I am quite happy with the results.

It feels really silky, goes on smooth, has a pleasant smell that I can't quite put my finger on, and was pretty inexpensive.

It really helped improve my skin texture, although really bad patches of dryness were still present.

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer

I don't think I would use this everyday, becuase I don't want to be layering that much crud on my face each day, but it will def. be making an apperance on those days that I want to look even more gorgeous than I already am. (wink wink cough cough)

It did, however, not play nice with a few of my foundations, Maybelline's Fit Me, in particular. This foundation just seemed to sit on top of my skin and not soak in.

The genus that is gossmakeupartist, recently posted that this could be due to incompatibility between ingredients, such as oil vs water, a big no no when mixed.

The first ingredient listed for both is water, with the primer having silicon a little farther along, so not too sure what the story is. 

I guess it is just up to playing around with what you got first. 

Anyways, Wahoo long weekend!!/ I have a midterm next week.. :(

The perfect light smokey eye?

I created this look,

Ahhh, this pic doesn't do it justice!

using the Pop Beauty palette in Smokey Eyes:

The shadows in this kit are great, they aren't deadly pigmented which I like for this light smokey eye as sometimes I can get a little crazy with the colours and end up having solid shadow from my lid to brow. (heh heh) Gorgeous!

Eyes:

I used:
 -1 in the inner corner and as a brow highlight.
-2 all over the lid
-3 crease
-4 darken up the outer V, and on the lower lashline

Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC's Rich Ground on the water line
Almay black eyeliner on the upper water line
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

Face:

Revlon Beyond Natural Face Primer and Colorstay Active tinted moisturizer
NYX - Cream blush in Natural 02
MAC -MSF Stereo Rose
(no bronzer today :o)

Lips:
Maybelline Pink Please lipstick

This turned out surprisingly well, and was perfect for a sunny day. Not too dark but not boring either.
