After spending so much time on my hair today, I just wanted something to do something simple. I love using monochromatic schemes, especially when there is a wide range of shades used. Face Revlon PhotoReady Foundation / 008 Golden Beige & 010 Caramel MAC Eye Shadow / Suspicion (brows) MAC Brow Set / Clear MAC [ Read More ]

FotD: Peaches & Plums
This look was absolutely inspired by Tahnee from Shining Sttar. A few days ago she posted a fabulous look, and I absolutely loved it.. so this is my interpretation. I think peach and purple are a great colour combination, but it’s one of those that I don’t break out very often. I’ll put it down [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Two Tone
This look was inspired by the Spring Colour Forecast using a mix of pinks and corals, plus a bit of a twist. I’ve been fascinated with two toned lips for ages and figured this would be a good opportunity to try it out. Since pink and peach aren’t too much of a contrast, this came [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Brown Smoke
Another look from last weekend. It was a social night, meeting up with a few different groups of friends. I was originally going to do the classic silver/black smokey eye, but then decided that smoking it out with brown was more to my liking. In retrospect it reminds me of a fellow beauty blogger, Beda.

Face of the Day ~ Bright Smoke
Was heading out to see some live music this past Friday and figured I’d do something full on colour and drama. I was torn between brights and a dark smokey eye, and so I paired them together. It was the perfect time to dust off my Ben Nye palette, the colours are so remarkably pigmented [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Amethyst Smokes
For this look I decided to try an experiment. I picked up a Maybelline quad at the drugstore the other day, and when I got home I realized that I could dupe it with some of my MAC eye shadows. So I put together a quad of similar colours and used Maybelline on one eye [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Glitter For Grown Folk
Glitter is something that can be challenging to work with. It can be diffcult to control, too much can look a hot mess and often times juvenile on those approching and beyond thirty years. Knowing all of this had me immediately skeptical when I saw a video by Natalya of Filthy Gorgeous Makeup, but she [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Pretty In Pink
Ever since I picked up the insanely bright lip tar in Anime, I’ve wanted to wear it. After experimenting with a few lip combinations on Thursday night, I decided I would wear it to work on Friday. This is a toned down version of it, since I didn’t think it would be appropriate to go [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ My Vintage Glams
This past weekend I was at the Sephora in Yorkdale and saw that they had the By Lauren Luke kits in stock! To say I was excited would have been an understatement, and the fact that they were packaged with an extra gloss just sealed the deal for me. It was difficult to pick just [ Read More ]
Face of the Day ~ Red For A Cause
In honour of World AIDS Day I rocked a very red lip yesterday, featuring a MAC lipstick called MAC Red. Since I don’t own the red Viva Glam lipstick (yet), I thought this was a good alternative. Established in 1994 by M·A·C Cosmetics, the M·A·C AIDS Fund supports men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS [ Read More ]
