Get Barry M into Canada!

I follow several UK blogs and I always envy the BarryM hauls, swatches & FOTDS! I heard from a VERY creditable source that BarryM may be coming to Canada *scream*

That means Canadian girls can be swimming in a pigmented sea of Dazzle Dusts, Nail Paints & Lip Lacquer Crayons!

To make this happen, please join the Get Barry M into Canada group on facebook by clicking LIKE and posting a comment if you have previously tried Barry M make up or have heard about it and would want to see it in Canada.

So my Canadian girls did you like the page yet? Have you tried any BarryM products? If so what is your fav!

FOTD: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Blue Eyes

I know I'm not a blue eyed babe but I love the colors in Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips for Blue Eyes palettes. I find myself using this palette far more than any of the other Physicians Formula eye palettes. To really make brown eyes pop, dark blues work the best in my opinion. Check out the swatches of the blue & gold on my skin. Pure love <3

Instead of using the blue on my upper lid, I opted for it on my lower lid as a liner!

Excuse my unamused look on my face..LOL

Eyes:

Blend of Golds & Bronze in the palette.

Mascara:

Annabelle Volumelash.com

Liner:
Eve Pearl Smudgeproof  Liquid Liner

Lips:

Annabelle Volume Lip Plumping Gloss in Cherryoke

Here is a close up of the eye.  As you can see below my bangs are growing out quickly! They were always pretty long but now you can hardly see my makeup..all my hard work!! LOL

I'm going to get them cut to above my lashes this week. So I'll have a pic update to show you soon :)


Have you tried any of these palettes? If so, what do you think of them?

Does Purely Cosmetics Diamond Powder stand up to the test?

I won this product from Enkore at IMATS. I follow Purely Cosmetics on twitter but I have not had the opportunity to try out the products. One of the most popular items from Purely Cosmetics is their Diamond Powder. It is often compared to MUFE HD powder at a fraction of the cost.

Diamond Perfect Finish is a unique product made with real diamonds and a patented diamond complex to create a flawless finish. Your face will have an airbrushed look.With nearly a carat of diamonds in each full sized jar, Diamond Perfect Finish works perfectly for photography and high definition, and is superior in performance to products such as Makeup Forever's High Definition Finishing Powder.

As a WOC, I really have to watch out for powders that will make me ashy. 

Scratch that..

Actually this can happen to anyone. 

Exhibit A:

First I have applied my favorite HD foundation on the top of my hand

Then I dabbed the powder on my hand.

I did it heavily, so you all can see the finish of the powder.

 I used my Sigma F80 to buff in the powder.

This picture is the determining factor to see if it gives me an white cast :|

Question:

Do you stay away from white powders?
