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!

FOTD: Jennifer Hudson Inspired make up look using Annabelle Cosmetics

This look has to be my favorite look I have done this year. The main reason I think it came out well is because I had a lot of time to perfect it. I will admit as a makeup junkie I neglect a few brands, but after re-organizing my kit I found my Annabelle Cosmetics quad: Gold Digger, Metallic Meltdown, Bronzed idol and Snowflake.

Here is the look. I know it`s not an exact replica but you can tell I was defined inspired by the bronze, gold and red lips.

Random fact about me I love Jennifer Hudson! It`s not just because she has an amazing name :) But because she has been through soo much and always keeps on smiling. There is definitely a lot to learn from her outlook on life.

The funniest thing is that I wore this look to the mall and movies. Sometimes I feel that you should just dress up and feel fab for one day..no questions asked :)

Ladies, What do you think about the look? Also do you have any other celebrity looks that I should try out?

How I get long luscious lashes! What is your favorite mascara?

Ever since I was 13 years old I was obsessed with lashes. I got my free AVON mascara and never turned back! I have to add that after 12 years of mascara wearing I still have healthy, full & curly lashes that I'm not embarrassed to sport with without mascara as well.

I personally like layering my mascaras. It's a process that starts off with a light coat of a lengthening mascara. My current choice is CARGO 3 Triple Action Mascara as a base coat. I let it try fully then I apply two coats of Marcelle Power Volume Mascara. Lastly finish off with CARGO 3 Triple Action Mascara on the tips.

It's a tedious process but I achieve lashes that look exactly like falsies! So my question for you is do you layer your mascaras?

The Marcelle Mascara was sent to spiced beauty for review purposes. I wont the Cargo mascara in a contest.

FOTD- Bite of an Apple Blush & Wicked Ways lipglass

Kim Kardashian inspired neutral eyes

I love neutral looks! Kim K wore this look to the Emmy's and I fell in love.. Yes I'm aware that we are not the same colour or I'm no where as fly as her..but she's my current muse.

Here is the look:

Perfect for an everyday or office eyes. The colors are matte.There is some fallout when I picked up the shadow but that is a given with matte shadows.


The lip gloss is light nude pinky nude. The consistency is great! Not sticky or thick. There is no smell.

The beauty tool kit brushes are amazing quality. Made from soft goat hair and synthetic hair to provide flawless application.

Be Bold!

 Yup! You heard me ..Try something different :)

This is actually an old FOTD. I worked soooo hard on blending and I lost these pics in my computer...so in a long story short I dunno what colors I used. All I know is that there all minerals tho.

So my question to you is are you a neutral kinda of girl or do you go bold?

Purple Haze: Girls with Glasses Can be FAB too!

TRUE / FALSE if you wear glasses your eyes don't matter?

WRONG!!!

You can still wear rock any color you want and look FAB!

I don't wear glasses everyday..maybe every 2 weeks but I really wanted to share these pics :)

EYES:

• Royal HUE Shadestick
• Smashbox Eyebrighter
• MAC Violet Pigment
• MAC Primal Eyeshadow
• NYX Redbean Pie
• MAC Amazon
• LA COLORS white eyeliner
• MAC Vanilla Pigmnt
• Mascara
• Liquid Eyeliner

So my girls out there who wear glasses..My question is do you glam up the eyes or NOT?

YES, I cut that B**CH!

Yes you heard me!
I hope my title caught your attention and didn't scare you away!

I cut the crease perfectly for the FIRST time.
I am so proud of my self..

What is cutting the crease you ask..?!?!?

It's when you draw in your crease with a dark eyeshadow. Dark meaning darker than your lid color shadow.

I have small eyes but alot of lid space, so cutting the crease allows me to balance my lids!

THIS IS NOT A LOOK FOR EVERYDAY ME.. sorry to yell but I am just saving myself from the rude comments.

I used a small pencil make up brush to do the trick.
I hope you like the pics!

Make up I used:
UDPP
MAC Taupograpic Shadestick
MAC Melon Pigment
MAC Expensive Pink eyeshadow
MAC Royal Flush pigment
MAC Naked lunch
Mac Dark Soul Pigment
Revlon Eyeliner
Cover Girl mascara

Why do I look so sad?!?! LOL

Let me know what you think below

Make up: Cat Eyes with eyeliner

Cat liner has become a staple in my life. I wear it 4 out of 7 days a week!
The look has been linked with the classic style of the 50s. But it actually started with the Egyptians.

Angelina is also the queen of Cat Eyeliner. Sooo fierce!


I used my smashbox gel liner and my mac 209..that's why the line is soo crisp :)
