FOTD: My new easy look

My new easy look is quite simple! I would explain it as neutral with a kick :) The kick is colored liner..

I work early like 8:00am so days when I feel like wearing makeup,I need a effortless look which requires no touch up.

I used a black eye liner to create a winged tip on my upper lid. Personally for weekdays I feel liquid liner is the best. It's quick and USUALLY can be done without mess. My favorite picks are Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner & Eve Pearl Smudgeproof eyeliner.

Then I follow up with 2-3 coats of mascara. Sometimes I mix Mascara because I like the combined look. My favorites are Cargo triple action mascara & the new Marcelle Masacara.


On my bottom lid I use MAC Rave pearlglide eyeliner in Rave. I love this purple!! The staying power is amazing. Sometimes I add white eyeliner to my waterline depending on how much time I have.

To finish it off I always highlight my inner corners using Smashbox Eyebeam double extender brightener. This is amazing.. I haven't had to buy anything else after this.

I hope this post is descriptive enough. Feel free to leave me any questions you have :)

Per-fekt Beauty easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer and powder.

The first time I touched this product in Sephora, I fell in love. I described it as "buttery goodness" ..lol.

Per-fekt Beauty offers multi-functional products that are quick and easy to apply, long lasting, and offer an alternative to traditional beauty products.

 The blue bottle is a skin perfector that instantly per-fekts and enhances the appearance of the skin offering an easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer, color corrector and powder. Perfect for girls like me who don`t wear foundation regularly but want natural coverage.
This multi-tasking, modern gel-mousse glides on effortlessly to instantly improve skin tone, help maintain hydration, and reduce the appearance of redness and discoloration, enlarged pores, fine lines and shine.

This is a "swatch" of decendant which is the darkest color in the Per-fekt line. It is described as a dark mahogany color, I would describe it as milk chocolate. This color also looks like it won`t match my skin at all.. but it`s a per-fekt match! The consistency is smooth and not heavy.

Application:

Simply pat, smooth and go!  Pat a pearl-sized amount onto face and neck, smooth with fingertips. If more coverage or perfection is desired, Skin Perfection Gel is buildable.
I prefer to use a make-up brush because it`s easier to get a nice light finish!

The second item I was sent is the Eye perfection gel. It`s an anti-aging skin perfector combined with a modern palladium tip applicator that instantly perfekts and enhances the delicate under-eye area offering an alternative to traditional concealers, eye treatments, cover up and primers.


Eye Perfection Gel helps smooth away the appearance of puffy, tired looking eyes, fine lines and wrinkles while hydrating the skin.

Application:
Premeasure a drop of Eye Perfection Gel by squeezing out onto the cooling palladium tip applicator before applying around the delicate eye area.  With cooling palladium tip applicator, gently pat and smooth from the outside corner of the eye inward. Gently smooth with fingertips.

This is my full face look. Click the link to see it in HD.

Pros:

• Consistancy feels amazing
• Vitamins
• Maintains hydration
• shades of light to dark

Cons:

• The price can be seen excessive for some.

Overall I'm very happy with these products. Although some may say it pricey but if you purchase a good department store foundation, primer, color corrector and powder, your total will be more than this product.


Pick up Per-fekt beauty at PerfektBeauty.com and in stores at Sephora!

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?

Mini MAC Venomous Villains Haul+ Swatches

I am NOT one for MAC collections. Never in my life have I have attended a unveiling party or waited online. But this collection had so much buzz I had too... All together with tax everything ALMOST came up to $70.00 but it's worth it! This is what I got.

The first Item I got in store was Bite of an Apple blush.When I first saw this blush I said it could not be on NW45. I don't know if it was a bad swatch I seen on a blog but it was unattractive.

That is so far from the truth.. This blush is gorgeous! I am not a girl who needs obsessive amount of blush but after swatching in store.. I had to have it.

This blush is described Soft coral pink (Matte). It's very buildable and flattering for every skintone.

Wicked Ways is probably the most gorgeous lipglass I own.. and I own quite a few. It's a Deep fuchsia with pink pearl. I wore it today and got A LOT of compliments :)

This is the type of gloss that you can wear alone or on top of lipstick.

This definitely gets the Spiced Beauty stamp of approval. If this is still available I'd advise you to go and get it!

The last item I got from the Venomous Villains was a lipstick in Heartless. This is a Cherry red which is also suitable for multiple skin tones. I could also pair this lipstick with Wicked Ways lipglass.

I'm happy I got this lipstick because I need to venture out of my color safe zones LOL!

The last item I got was the VIVA GLAM Cyndi Lauper lipglass. I've been looking everywhere for a coral gloss but I couldn't find one. Honestly I don't like the lipstick but this look is gorge!

I love everything I got! Did you get anything from the VV collection? Or what do you plan on getting?

 

Shoppers Can Join Payless and Help Create a Future Without Breast Cancer

This October, Payless will inspire shoppers to show their support for breast cancer awareness with this year’s must-have accessory item – the 2010 Payless Breast Cancer Awareness charm bracelet benefitting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the country’s leading national volunteer-based organization dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. The nation’s largest specialty footwear retailer is proud to once again offer its Embrace the Cause bracelet in all its stores beginning Oct. 1 for just $3 – an accessible price that enables more people to get involved and has raised more than $3.6 million internationally since 2004 for the cause.

Payless will contribute 100 per cent of the net profits of bracelet sales to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, helping to support breast cancer research and community outreach programs. Over the past seven years, the Payless Embrace the Cause program has raised more than $3.6 million in total for the breast cancer cause.

The limited-edition charm bracelet features three elastic pink bands embellished with several “floating” silver-toned balls, linked together by a dangling breast cancer awareness ribbon charm. To buy the bracelet, consumers can visit all Payless stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico beginning Oct. 1. This is a limited-edition item available while supplies last.

Beginning last week, Payless also began offering the "Sierra" all-pink sweater slipper in select stores in the U.S. and Canada. The Sierra is a scuff-style slipper, co-branded Airwalk and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and features a plush and cozy pink faux fur lining with a cable knit upper also trimmed in faux fur. The slipper is offered in women's and girls' sizing and both retail for $27.99. Payless will contribute $2.80 per pair sold to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

According to 2010 Canadian Cancer Statistics, one in nine Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime (if they live to age 90). This year, an estimated 23,200 women and 180 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and an estimated 5,300 women and 50 men will die of it. For more information on breast cancer in Canada, how to reduce your risk, or to make a donation to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, visit www.cbcf.org.

What do you use to condition your lips?

Fall is officially here! 

For Canadians like myself.. Fall is a precursor to that lovely Winter is approaching.

Canadian winters are intense.

How much would you spend on foundation?

Personally would spend up to $60.00.
WHY?

End of Summer FOTD with MAC & NYX

Yes.. Summer is done. 

SAD FACE.. All I can do now is reminisce about how I loved it!

I visited CUBA- had amazing U.S.A trips.. so much fun!

I was on my way out to Toronto with the BF. I did an easy look :)

MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass is perfect for all skin tones!

At the last MAC sale I stumbled upon MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass. 

In the bottle it looks intimating but  after swatching I fell in love!

As you can see from my lips its a clear gloss with minimal shimmer. 

Gorgeous.

How do you feel about Rihanna's "new hair"

I think it's edgy & fun!

You?

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:

Storage Ideas for my MAC- Part 1

Since I knew I was going to the MAC Warehouse sale on Sunday; 

I decided to go and get a clear storage to prepare.

I thought it was perfect for my white IKEA desk. The handles on the doors got me..lol.

How do you feel about Lash Serums? Plus my short review on L'oreal Lash Boosting Serum

Everyone wants long healthy lashes without the falsies. 

Now there is an easier way to do that. Hello...

Lash Serums

They give us the hope of thicker longer lashes with less fall out when we remove make up from our eyes. I've been blessed with healthy curly lashes but who doesn't want a boost now and then. My problem is how in the world do I know which one to choose!

Aging Gracefully- Fab face of the day

I love seeing celebrities who are 40 or (39) in Jada Pinkett Smith case looking amazing!

Honestly she has NO evidence of plastic surgery or wrinkles. 

At 25 I could pass for 17/18, so I hope a face like this is in my future.

Beauty Trend Watch- Cat Eyeliner

I'm very excited for this trend! This is a trend that can be incorporated into your everyday looks!
I say this because I know everyone can't pull off Dark Plum Lips everyday.

Fall Beauty Trend Watch- Dark Plum Lips

This color is very appropriate for Fall and plays on that ever so popular vampire theme. I love the fact that this is a trend can can be shared by all women.  More importantly you can find this finish in matte, stain, glosses...need I go on!

My recommendation for Dark Plum lips on WOC would be to pair it with gold & bronzed eyes.

My recommendation for Dark Plum lips on fair skin tones would be to pair it with dark eyes to make your eyes pop!

My favorite dark plum lip is faceatelier lipstick in revenge:

So my question to you is how do you feel about Dark Plum Lips?
