I love the fact that the TwistUps on being shown on ALL skin tones! Honoured that Annabelle chose me to share the colours on a dark/deep skin tone.

Annabelle Cosmetics TWISTUP Retractable Lipstick Crayons in Royale

Back in June, I attended a Annabelle/ Marcelle Cosmetics launch. They're one of my favourite Canadian Beauty brands which I think is pigmented and has a vast amount of products to choose from.

Thank you to Rasilla who took this picture. Look at me pointing and drooling over their new setup.

Above everything, I fell in love with their new TWISTUP Retractable Lipstick Crayons. I adore lip crayons but I hate the fact that once they get dull you have to go on a wild goose hunt to find a sharpener to sharpen them. 


Thankfully, Annabelle has eliminated this issue with their new TWISTUPS.  Royale was the color which I fell in love with immediately! Has anyone noticed that I've been gravitating to fuchsia purples lately?!


This Lipstick is creamy and moisturizing.
I really want to try out the 11 other shades!


Would you wear this color?

Canadian Face of the Day featuring Annabelle & Marcelle

Happy Canada Day!

To Celebrate it's only right to share a look I did featuring Canadian brand Annabelle & Marcelle.
I shared this look in a previous post but now I will share details on what I used!

I have reviewed a lot of Annabelle & Marcelle products on my blog in the past. If someone asks me which products are definate must haves, I would recommend: Annabelle Smoothies & Marcelle Waterproof eyeliners.

The smoothies can be used as over the eye as a highlighter, shadow or liner. Once they set, they don't budge. To top it off they are crease free & waterproof.


 
The color I used is called melonade. I use it in my inner corners daily. I also blend it out as a highlighter.

 The waterproof eyeliners comes in 16 colors!
I chose Electric Blue because it compliments my skin tone.

Up-close

Happy Canada Day!

Annabelle and Marcelle Beauty Premier Party!

A few weeks ago Annabelle and Marcelle Cosmetics came to Toronto for their beauty premier for Spring 2012. I'm lucky enough to have gone to several beauty event in the past but this one was truly amazing. There was makeup, food, drinks and most importantly engagement from Marcelle/Annabelle with us(bloggers).

I loved how there was different modules set up to learn about each launch. The most popular table was the make your own lip gloss table. This idea was purely genius!  Every girl Well I wish I could design my own lip gloss and I'm ecstatic that I got that opportunity to do so. We were given two bottles of our special concoctions.

The beautiful Robin from Fashionsta514 was at the table explaining the whole process.
Look at how long the line got at one point!
Close up of the color wheel.
We had to pick a minimum of 4 colors to mix our lip glosses.
Another amazing idea was offering us makeup on a platter!
I can't tell you how tempting it was not to empty it all in your purse..LOL

On to the launches for Spring 2012!
Each product set up was accomanied by an Annbelle/Marcelle employee. 
It was really cool to get your answers answered on the spot.

Fall 2011 Beauty: Annabelle Smudgepaint in Skyline Review

I've been on the hunt for a Navy blue eyeliner since I seen this picture of Rihanna.

Every product I used so far to get this look has been either too dark, light,dry or just plain ugly. 

I gave up recently until I got the chance to try out Annabelle Smudgepaint in Skyline!
 
Creamy gel-shadow + liner with a velvety smooth, crease free, smudge free texture that will survive anything life throws at you! Its long-lasting waterproof formula glides on easily for a mess free look.
Liner Breakdown:
PROS: 
Multifunction- can be used as a liner and "shadow"
Rich pigmented color
Creamy & easy to use
Pretty long lasting

CONS:
Some may forget to clean the brush because it's built inside the handle.

__________________________

Here is a picture of skyline. I didn't line my bottom lid heavily because I was going out to dinner.
Love this color on my skintone!

Ladies if you see these in stores.. pick them up!! 
I think these are definitely some of my Fall must haves.

Are you a fan of Navy blue eyeliner?

Spiced Beauty: June 2011 favorites

I totally struggle with putting out my monthly favorites. I apologize but I`ll try to put out one a month for the rest of the year!

Before I go on to my eight favorites... Let me start off by explaining my how my June was.

VERY stressful...unfortunately, I didn't have time to indulge in a lot of beauty products.

This July I will try to switch it up! So be sure to look out for that.

  1. Dove go fresh Body Mist in Nectarine and White Ginger scent-Perfect for anyone on the go. I can spray this like four times and it wont be overpowering. 
  2. Korres Deluxe Size Body Butter in Fig- I use to refuse anything with figs in it.. Bad childhood memories..haha. The Shea butter and Figs makes my hands feel AMAZING!
  3. EOS lipbalm in Lemon- Huge thank you to Fabdiva20 she sent me a lovely package which included this lipbalm. I'm truly obsessed with how soft it makes my lips!
  4. Annabelle 4SHOW Eyeshadow in Tiger-Eye- All of these colors are perfect for my skin-tone. Click the picture for a HD close up.
  5. Diane Lai REJUVENATE- This was one of the first moisturizers which has not irritated my skin after prolonged use. If you have sensitive skin you will know how hard it is to find product that!
  6. H&M Organic Lipgloss- It was a $1.00 on sale! Amazing for low maintenance days because it`s long lasting.
  7. Vasanti Eye Wonder Cream- I currently don't have dark circles, wrinkles or puffiness. But dark eye circles run in my family, so I`m trying my best to prevent it before it occurs.
  8. Ecotools Powder Brush- Its amazingly soft, so why wouldn't it be a fav :)

Marcelle Lux Metallic & Lux Diamond Liquid Eyeliners Review

I was recently sent some Marcelle products to try out:
Cobalt Blue, Jade, Ultraviolet, Aqua,
Silver & Pure Gold.

Lux Metallic liquid eyeliner lets you experience glimmer and sparkle never like never before! Infused with thousands of tiny, little mirrored flecks that reflect light and literally brighten
your eyes.

Pros:
-Thin applicator which is good for precision lining
-Hypoallergenic and perfume-free
-Great lasting power

Con:
-They need to be applied more than once to be vibrant


This is a swatch of ultraviolet with two swatches. I love this color on my skin tone :)

 

Lux Diamond liquid eyeliner is formulated with a gel filled with glamorous sparking flecks that shine as brightly as quartz; perfect for adding a touch of long lasting scintillating brilliance to your look.

Highly versatile, you can use it in a myriad different ways! Colour stays true, doesn’t streak or flake and its clever micro applicator brush allows for the most precise and accurate application.

Doesn't silver look gorgeous!! These liners remind me of Annabelles Glitterama Liquid Liner! Click here to check out my review.  They`re both pigmented. Also you`re able to control the amount of glitter that comes out.

Tip: Apply pencil eyeliner under these colors to make them pop :D

Visit a Canadian retailer and pick up one of these babies for only $11.95.

My question for you is: Would you be interested in trying these?


This product was sent for review by Marcelle Cosmetics.

I was an Annabelle Makeup Artist for the Much Music Video Award Pre-Party

I was sooooo excited to be chosen by Annabelle to be one of their make-up artist for this event.

This was my first time in an event setting & I loved it! The energy & gratitude from the guest made me happy.

Honestly their happiness made me realise why I do make-up. It's crazy how blush or lipstick can really brighten up someones day.

I live for moments like that <3

That picture is from the first look of the day. I gave her a neutral smokey look with a plum lip (not shown).
I love how I coated each lash so carefully LOL... you can totally tell by my facial expression!

OMG! I forgot to tell you all how I did some Male make-up application for the first time. Super easy!
Annabelle's Mineral powder was lightweight and perfect for even coverage : D
