FOTD using Barry M Cosmetics!

This is a simple look for my movie date to see Black Swan. Since I have a lot of Barry M goodies, I decided to test some of it out. Girls..everything I used was soo pigmented! Products like these just make you fall in love with makeup all over. Haha! I know it's weird but my "junkies" exactly what I mean.



Here is what I used:

•  Barry M Dazzle Dust in 44 (Bronze)
• Barry M Lip Lacquer Pencil Crayon 2 (Cherry Red)
• Barry M 3 N 1 Mascara

 I need to spotlight the Dazzle Dust & Lip Lacquer because there GORGEOUS. Please click the pictures to see these in HD.

I generally never touch a lipstick with sparkles because they look "gritty'...but the lacquers are smooth & glossy. I want every color!

What do you think of the look?

As most of you can see from several Canadian Bloggers BarryM may be coming to Canada. So support the moment and Like this BarryM page!

Try Something new: Sephora Dry Oil

My BF gave me a Sephora card for Christmas, so on boxing day I decided to use it :) 

I got my first Dry Oil from Sephora. In store I had no idea what benefits it had..LOL. I just knew it smelt good.

What it is:

A lightly scented, deeply moisturizing oil for the body.

What it is formulated to do:

Excellent for those with very dry skin or those who don't want to wait for a moisturizer to be absorbed, this dry oil mists a light, hydrating veil onto skin. It absorbs immediately with no sticky, oily residue. 

 This spray is everything it claims to be! I love the fact that I can spray it and it smells like coconuts.. not rubbing alcohol with a tint of coconuts. Look at the picture I sprayed it and rubbed my arms together and it dried instantly.

It also has Jojoba oil. Here are the benefits:

• Provides all day moisture – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.
• Very stable – jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.
• Spreads well and absorbs well.
• The organic variety is free of pesticides, GMOs, and is sustainably farmed.

This is a definite recommend :)

Have you tried a dry oil before?

Christmas Presents from the BF!

I decided to show them because he did a great job this year. I`m difficult to shop for LOL.. Mostly because I don't want anything..

I know some people are giving me the WDF face but honestly..if I want something I buy it myself...

On to the presents : D

I have had my curve for 18 months and needed an upgrade.. I decided to go with the newest Bold 9780. It came with the latest BB software which I love. The BF put up 1/4 of the cost LOL. I had to buy a Hello Kitty cover for it :D

He got me a screen protector/mirror to put on my screen. This is genius because I can`t be bothered to dig up my bag for my HK one in this cold. Also an extra pink cover for my phone. I think I may bling this one out :D

I really need a new curling iron. He got me a Conair one which has a heat dial. Good Job!

I think this is my first real leather wallet. I better take care of it LOL

MAC and Sephora Giftcard... *faint* Buying makeup & not spending my own money *thumbs up*

Oh ya!!! The sephora giftcard comes with a lovely double sided mirror :D

I loved everything :)

How do you think he did?

BarryM Nail Paints in Red Glitter & Bright Pink Swatches

As you all know I love nail polishes! It doesn't matter whether its a matte, cream or glitter.. I must to have them all. I have to show you all the two I recently received from Barry M!

 Bright Pink (279)  & Red Glitter (150)

Choose from over 50 different shades, Covering the whole colour spectrum-from pure white to decadent red. There are metallic pearls, mattes and shimmering finishes to suit every mood and taste. All Nail Paints are in a quick-drying base suitable for natural or acrylic nails.

Bright Pink has a cream finish. In my opinion it looks more of a bubblegum pink than a bright pink. I only needed two coats to get even coverage, which is good because it dried quickly.

Red Glitter is made up of fine glitters. This glitter can be worn alone or with a solid polish underneath.

Love it!

Flash vs. No Flash 

I definitely need more of these!

Which color is your favorite?

What blushes are in my collection & why?

I get a lot of questions on blushes from everyone. Not just WOC...In my opinion, you only need 3 blushes but having a palette looks better.

This is what I bring whenever I go on shoots. The palette was bought in my last semester of MUA school..I have no idea where my teacher got it. Although you can't get this exact palette, you can definitely dupe these :)
The ones with the X's are the ones which get used the most.

You can NEVER go wrong with oranges & berries ladies!

Some dupes that I use are:

Orange: MUFE Eyeshadow- Tangerine 18 (vibrant matte orange)

Berry: MAC Fushia Powder Blush

What color of blush is your favorite?

How do you feel about nude heels?

One word: LOVE

Spiced Beauty:Top 7 of 2010!

1.  Annabelle Smudgeliners: They come in a variety of colors & there VERY pigmented!
2. MUFE brow corrector & Smokey Lash: Definitely must haves! Add some gloss to the lips and you have a full look :)
3. MAC Wicked Ways Lipglass: This is my absolute favorite lipglass of 2010. If it's still available... GET IT!
4. Fusion of Color Matte Shadows: Fusion of Color mineral powders has Carnauba Wax. So the shadows felt very smooth when applied. 
5. Balmshell Lip Glosses: These are my everyday glosses. They come in several different colors and I put the keychain part on my car keys :)
6. Revlon Matte Lipstick in Wine Not: This is nothing but pure love. This is the first lipstick that I am comfortable wearing everywhere :)
7. Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80: If you want an airbrushed finish, this brush is your best friend!

Have you tried any of these before?

FOTD: Chocolate Smokey Eyes featuring 28 Neutral Palette

I love brown smokey eyes because their definitely perfect for day and night. I always like to try out looks before I wear them out to an event. This gives me control to eliminate or re-introduce products to make it better :)

I use MUFE as a base because it was waterproof & smudge proof, Annabelle smudgeliner in Oh my Goth, Eve Pearl Blush Trio in dark & MUFE Smokey Lash mascara. This time I used my 28 neutral palette for most of the look.

This palette is definitely going to be one of my traveling palettes. It has a lot of colors that can be used for smokey, neutral & every day looks.

Do you like brown smokey eyes?
