Down Time

I just wanted to say that last week had me caught up with some important things that kept me from updating. No worries though, everything is well and this week will have a slew of updates. What’s coming up this week: Annabelle Review E.L.F. Review FotD [completed] MAC Permanent Lipstick Stash Sephora Haul [completed]

Eye of the Day ~ Teracotta-Indigo-Lime

I wanted to play with colour and instead of just picking some colours, I dug out my colour wheel. It’s just a small one that I picked up at Michaels, and it is a few layers deep with cutouts showing colour combinations based on colour theory.

IMATS Toronto 2009 ~ Haul

Haul videos are something that get a mixed review, but I thought that people might want a little bit more information about the products, since the In The Bag post was more pictorial. There is always that pesky time limit, so for the first time I had to do some editing. Once I got the  [ Read More ]

IMATS Toronto 2009 ~ In The Bag

Today started very early. I didn’t want to miss my train, so I gave myself plenty of time to get ready. It was 6:40am when I left the house and pulled into the driveway at 6:15pm!  Talk about a long day, but it was very much worth it.  It was my first time attending a  [ Read More ]

Catching Up ~ Look Trio

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that my laptop suffered a hard drive loss. Between the lead up to the drive failure plus the actual repair time, there were a few looks I wanted to share but never got around to posting. While I actually had the photos uploaded to the site, the file that I kept the product lists in evaporated with the data loss.. so I won’t be able to provide the usual in depth listing.

A new look..

I’ve been toying with the idea of a new look for Beauty Thesis for a while now.  I haven’t quite tweaked it exactly how I want it, but I think I’m liking it so far. Let me know what you think.

Beauty Thesis on YouTube

I’ve actually had a YouTube account for a long time, and it’s been a major resource for me when it comes to makeup. Last night I recorded my first video, and after a bit of trial by fire with editing, I just uploaded it to YouTube.  It’s my hope that the video will be a  [ Read More ]

This year there was the addition of a Canadian venue to the International Makeup Artist Trade Show circuit. Which means that I will be in Toronto next weekend to check out the event!
