2012

Don’t mind my knarly eyebrows and nasty morning hair in that last pic...haha…and I hope you don’t mind the shitty quality of today's point and shoot photos…the days are getting shorter…BUT we will have some great looks/shoot for tomorrow so check back (we will be doing our little Sunday brunch and taking some time out to be alone…peace and quiet!).

I received some comments emails requesting me to do a makeup tutorial and although I am by NO means an expert or claim myself to be one…I thought I would give it a shot! (of course, using my new Urban Decay palette..you can pick these up at Sephora)..the middle shot shows my fave products right now and what I used.

First off – I picked up some cute things at Costa Blanca because they are having 50% off EVERYTHING all weekend (Friends and Family event they call it). I picked up a dress, this scarf and a couple white silky and chiffon tops for vacation in December! for ridiculous prices….show you guys soon

On to the look:

I used Makeup Forever foundation which blend really smoothly…my fave right now and doesn't dry out my skin. I used Nivea simply glowing moisturizer underneath.

Primed by eyes with Urban Decay primer potion and then YDK eye shadow from the Book of Shadows palette I picked up (far right colour….row #3 from top…sort of a beige brown colour). Then on the outer corners of my eyes I used Ecstacy (first row …#3 purple colour) and blended it with a black colour (Perversion….row 1 and colour #1) from the corner to the crease of my eye….keeping it in the crease and not all over my lid. I used the grey Quo brush to do this which is my fave for that…and super cheap…its a Canadian brand and you pick it up at Shoppers drug Mart. For blending the whole look I used my MAC 217 (One of my favourite brushes and super soft!). They key is to really blend all the colours so you try to avoid harsh lines (I blended out the black a lot for a less dramatic look)

Lined my eyes with L'Oreal Linear intense (honestly just as great as the expensive brands so don’t even waste your money!) and L'Oreal voluminous mascara (one of my faves as well)

Finished with light blush on the apples of my cheep and using large strokes up to my temples (Guerlain Peach blush colour) and a beige gloss by MAC.

Outfit: Shirt- random?, Leggings: F21, Boots: Thrifted, Purse: Vintage Chanel, Belt and Scarf: Costa Blanca (super surprised by the quality of this belt- I really love it..and the studs are not glued on like most cheap belts), Blazer: Talulah (not wearing it but its in the background and its what I wore over as a jacket)

Off to watch 2012, I’ll let you guys know what I thought tomorrow! xoxo
