Lip Demo: Colour Experiment

Nepenthe — Mon, 10 May 2010 00:51:06 +0000

From my combined experience online and working at the counter, I’ve noticed that there are many women who are uncomfortable with colour. This seems to be more prominent with women of colour, where neutral, brown and bronze seem to dominate. With that said, I love all of the aforementioned colours, but there is much to be found outside of that box.

Lip Demo: featuring a nude, pink, coral, red & dark look

From left to right:
Blankety lipstick (BBQ lip pencil), Angel lipstick (Naked Rose lip pencil),
Vegas Volt lipstick (Mouth Off lip pencil), MAC Red lipstick (Cherry lip pencil), Faultlessly FW* (Nightmoth lip pencil)

*Faultlessly FW was a limited edition colour, try Cyber as a permanent line alternative.

I thought I’d be the last person to fall in love with lipstick, but here I am a few years later with an absolute appreciate for lipstick. There are so many colours and finishes available, that range from subtle hints of colour to in your face brights and deep, sultry darks.

I thought I would do a quick demo video showing a few simple lip looks that all go well with the soft smokey look I’m wearing.

Haul: Just A Few Things [M.A.C.]

Nepenthe — Sun, 02 May 2010 11:51:00 +0000

Since achieving my no-buy, I’ve slowly been accumulating a few items. Figured it was about time to share.

Enjoy. :]

Tutorial: Dramatic Celebration

Nepenthe — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:16:15 +0000

As I mentioned in the related FotD, I filmed a tutorial for this particular look. At first I was concerned with the length of the video, but I managed to wrangle about 40 minutes worth of footage down to about 20 minutes. So while I’m annoyed that there are two videos, it’s definitely better than three.. LOL

Enjoy!

Review: E.L.F. Purple Perfection Kit

Nepenthe — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:43:40 +0000

I found this kit in the beauty section at Winners and thought I’d share my thoughts on it.

Pressing Pigments: Tutorial

Nepenthe — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:20:17 +0000

I first started talking about pressing pigments back in February. I’ve gone through a number of my pigments and pressed them, and it’s fantastic. It’s actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. I wish I’d started pressing sooner, I’m getting a lot more use out of my pigments now that I can put them in my palettes for everyday use or travel. A video tutorial seemed like a better option than photos, so check it out and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Review: Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

Nepenthe — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 14:27:16 +0000

Yesterday I filmed my first video review, and I actually like the format. Let me know what you think, if you have a preference for written reviews vs. video reviews.

Thanks, and enjoy!
