Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream waterproof colors #24 & #26 swatches

One of the most popular Make Up For Ever products is their Aqua Cream colors. 
A must have because they are pigmented, creamy and long lasting. 
Just in time for summer, Make Up For Ever is launching four new colors- 
lime green, purple, baby blue and bright yellow.
Aqua Cream is a completely smudge-proof, tear-proof, waterproof cream color that won’t crease, run or transfer. It gives intense payoff with a highly pigmented formula that ensures the colorful, pearly hues show up on skin while the soft, silky texture allows it to glide effortlessly onto eyelids, cheeks and lips. The formula includes evaporating oils to help fix the pigments on skin for impeccable hold, and a special filmogen polymer that encapsulates the pigments to keep moisture out and render them waterproof.
#24 Matte Vibrant Yellow
#26 Violet Sheen
These are gorgeous! 
The colors are buildable and can be worn alone.
Work quickly when using them because when they set they don't budge.
I also want to add that these aqua creams are used by the Canadian Olympic Synchro team.
If these are good enough for strenuous physical exercise underwater, they will definitely work for you!

Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masks!

The weather in Ontario is amazing right now!

I've been trying to soak up every minute of it. Don't worry I have been lathering on the SPF to prevent any skin damage.

The SPF I use is non-comedogenic but I have been using my Montagne Jeunesse masks just to maintain moisture in my skin.


The theme for May is Chocolate!
I can't eat as much of it as I want. So why not put it on my face?


This week I used Montagne Jeunesse Hot Chocolate Masque.
Take a deep breath of our self – warming Chocolate Orange masque and you'll be in chocolate heaven! Mediterranean Clay cleanses dirt and oils from deep within pores. Rich dark chocolate and orange oil leave skin feeling soft and refreshed.
 
I love masks in general but my face always feels refreshed after using any of the Montagne Jeunesse ones. 

I swear there is no sexy way to take a picture wearing a mask.
So I will just leave you all with a shot of my eyes.

Have you tried a Chocolate mask before?

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.

Toronto Beauty Bloggers: Pari Beauty Party!

Pari Beauty is another Canadian Beauty brand that I have profiled on Spiced Beauty earlier this year.
My first experience with Pari was at IMATS last year. 

Earlier this month I was invited to a Pari Beauty Party for Toronto Beauty Bloggers!
This event was much different as the usual PR event.
We had the chance to get to know more about the company, see new/existing products and hear about future initiatives!
