Most Used This Summer :)

Hello Ladies hope everyone is having a beautiful summer and enjoying the sun to the fullest.

As you know summer is my favorite season so I take full advantage of it whenever I can.

When it comes to wearing makeup in the summer I tend to stay away from anything heavy especially during the day, I feel as if my face is melting off and I hate that feeling. It's as if no matter how much blotting powder you put on your skin still gets oily.

I've been doing a similar FOTD for work on a daily basis and

the items I reach for the most are:

SUPER ORGASM 

I tried the orgasm blush by nars and it wasnt as pigmented
on my skin tone as I had wanted it to be so I went for super orgasm
and it is my go to summer blush with the perfect amount of shimmer.
At first the big chunks threw me off but it doesn't appear so chunky on the face so it's been complimenting me well. 

MAC FRESH BREW 



Fresh brew by mac gives the right amount of life to my lips without looking over done for
daytime. I tend to go back and forth between fresh brew and thalia by nyx. I love how moisturizing both lipsticks are
so you just apply and are on the run :).

MAC lustre drops

My favorite highlighters are the lustre drops by Mac.

I started off with bronze hero and had to get the whole collection of lustre drops.

I love using these as highlights especially in the summer for a dewy glow to the cheeks.

I've tried this on many skin tones and loved the outcome and how it brightens the entire face.

Blunt Eyeshadow by UD

My blunt eyeshadow is going to hit pan very soon as I have been using it daily lol.

It's so versatile as I use this as both a highlight for brow bone and inner corner as well

as an all over colour. When applied with black track fluid line it really gives the eyes a neutral pop, perfect

for day time as well.

Nails: Conney Island

Conney Island by OPI and Seasonal Peach by mac are my most used
nailpolishes for summer. I love the nudey pink look as it brings out such a classy feel.
Nicely manicured nails with about 2-3 coats of these polishes is just simply perfect.

Skin Exfoliant: Ocean Salt

Can anyone stop raving about ocean salt?? Because I definitely can't, this cleanser/exfoliant screams summer

and seaside. What can honestly be better than lime extracted in VODKA and sea salt, this exfoliant gives me such a clean

feel by deep cleansing and unclogging any pores and getting rid of blemishes.

During the summer I use up this ocean salt often after long days to feel refreshed.



A Beautiful Bridal

Hello ladies!

Today I had the greatest opportunity to do  bridal makeup

for a beautiful bride and her party of bridesmaids.

Enjoy the pictures, I will make this post short and sweet as I have just returned home

with aching feet but hey, I couldnt resist posting these beautiful pictures.

ENJOY!

PS. Special thanks to my assistant, I couldnt of done it without her so here is my appreciation <3.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sultry Smokey Eye

Summer is here and I cant describe how beautiful it is, I rather it being 40 degrees than

have snow and ice where I cant feel my toes!! I hope all of you are having an amazing

summer so far, I cant stand being at home when its so nice out..well last weekend I had the chance to do my friends makeup for a reception she was attending.

She wore a beautiful black and silver saree which looked super sexy on her,

she had asked me to do a look which would pull together the outfit so...

I started off by primin her lids with painterly paint pot by MAC,

I primed her face with a palladio face primer so the makeup would stay

put throughout her night of dancing.

Eyes: I started off with blunt e/s by urban decay to brighten her eyes, I also placed this colour

on her brow bone. I then placed Mac silvering e/s on the lid of her eye and applied carbon to the outer corner. I blend carbon inwards to create a smokey effect.

Cheeks: Since shes obsessed with contouring ;) I made sure I contoured with a shimmer free bronzer

and then applied Lorac hot and spicy blush duo on the apples of her cheeks.

Lips: I finished off her lips with Coco Lust by Mac, a pro longwear lipstick.

Lastly I applied Ardell falsies which really brought out her eyes!

Hope you enjoy this look!

Enjoy!!

Emerald Green Dress: Prom time Hair and Makeup! Make those heads turn!

Hello my beautiful bloggers,

yes I know I have fallen off the face of blog world! I truly missed blogging and life had completely taken over. I was bombarded with exams and then I made a trip to Ottawa to visit my friend! Good times!! I have been enjoying the sun as much as I can until I start becoming a busy body again... which means work and school.

On another note,

 we all know that it is officially prom season for the high schoolers and  I came up with a beautiful and elegant prom makeup + hair do that will make those heads turn and look at you not once but several times!



Eyes: Simple Smokey eye using carbon and expensive pink e/s by Mac
Lips: I srongly suggest this lip colour if you are a darker skin tone as this really brings out the lips, it is AMOUROUS LIPSTICK by MAC
Blush: A beautiful blush that warms up the skin is Conjure Up also by MAC which has a subtle shine. It's stunning!

To finish off the look I curled the hair with a flat iron and pulled all the hair

to the side for an elegant side ponytail, slightly teasing the crown to give some volume.



Hair+Makeup+Photography by MOI :)!!

Let me know what you guys think of this look for prom!

Enjoy and Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stay Posh!

Eyes: Goldmine and Carbon

Hello my loves!
You can never go wrong with goldmine and carbon e/s by Mac. If I am feeling very indecisive I pair these two eyeshadows and end up with a great look for the night. Of course matching your e/s with your clothes takes the attention off your eyes and the focus is on your makeup, so colour coordinating can be quite annoying. We use makeup to enhance our eye's not to emphasize that our makeup is on our face! I found that these two eyeshadow were really a "look saver". A nice grey/black smokey eye can also be a "go to " look when you are out of options. Hope you ladies have enjoyed this look

and your feedback means so much so let me know what you think!

Eyes: Primed with Panterly Paintpot by Mac, Goldmine e/s all over the lid

and using a fluffy e/s brush I used carbon in my outer V. If you want to intensify the

eyes for a more dramatic look just keep adding carbon and blending the outer V. Line with a carbon/black eyeliner, curl those lashes to lift the eye, apply mascara and falsies. This is optional but will definitely bring out the eyes.

Cheeks: I used my favorite Lorac blush Duo in hot and Spicy. I love the highlight colour that comes with the duo and I also use the blush. I also contoured with a contour colour, use something that has no shimmer in it. This will bring out those cheek bones.

Lips: I used young thing lip gloss by Mac to keep it nude.

Hope you enjoyed this look :).

Versatile Products! Beauty Secrets Revealed.

Hello Ladies!


Hope everyone is feeling beautiful today. When I was reading through makeup blogs and beauty magazines I realized that the majority of artists stick to one product for one particular use. Why not make your cosmetics more versatile? This will save you from burning cash and also every girl wants a compact light weight makeup bag! I am going to share some secrets with you that will help to use one product for various other things.

Let's Start off with Pigments!
Who ever said that pigments were only for the eyes? When I use pigments that have a nude shimmer like naked pigment or even vanilla pigment I place this pigment as a highlight on the bridge of my nose, or on my upper cheekbone. This brightens the face and also helps the face appear more symmetrical!
Also, another tip for some sex appeal is dusting a bit right about your lip and on the centre of the lip for a nice pout!

How about eyeshadow?

As we all know eyeshadow is supposed to be applied on your eyes? Well, how about we use to set our lipstick with a similar colour eyeshadow that will allow that lipstick to stay on for a pro-long wear? Why go out and purchase lip products that have a 12 hr wear when you have eyeshadow to set your lipstick!

In most of my makeup looks where I am wearing a pink/peach lipstick the reason why it appears so vibrant is because I lightly apply eyeshadow on top of it. Shhhh!

And as for lipstick?

Yes, we all apply lipstick all over the lips and that's it. Who would assume there is another use for it. However, I applied some of my lightly ripe lipstick, sanitized of course, using my ring finger on my cheeks and it worked as perfectly as any creme blush? If there are any other lipsticks that you wished had come in a great blush colour instead why not sanitize and apply? Benefit also has a great lip/cheek stain that is a great versatile buy!

Hope these tricks help out each and everyone of you and watch out for other great tips.

NYC: Times Square

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.



OPI: Heart Throb

Such a Beautiful Baby Pink Polish!

I had to share with you guys,

lately I have been attracted to subtle colours and heart throb

gives off such a pretty look.

Have a great one :) .

Eyes: BlueBrown Pigment

Hello Ladies, hope everyone is doing well! I received a sample of Mac's Blue Brown Pigment in a swap awhile ago and never got around to doing a look with it. So I decided to give it a try :).

So for the eyes I concentrated Mac BlueBrown Pigment more in the centre, I did not want to place

it all over the lid just to avoid looking like a disco ball. I added Go eyeshadow with a soft fluffy e/s brush to the outer corner and blended out the BlueBrown. This also softens the harshness of the pigment. Add a highlight close to your skin colour and voila ;) To complete, use your blackest eyeliner and mascara.

Lips: I used Semi-Annual which is a nude lipstick by Mac that has a slight pink undertone.

What do you guys think ?

Thank you so Much for stopping by.

University Cultural Formal Look

Hello Ladies, I really missed blogging and I am glad to be back. So, a little update on my life...

I was bombarded with exams and now that it is my reading week I want to do as many different looks as possible. I feel like I am so preoccupied with other things that I really need to get

that passion for makeup back in my system. So, after exams I celebrated with some friends by going

to a University Cultural Formal.

I am really in love with peacock colours, my Saree had a nice royal blue with some peacock

green designs along the halter piece of my blouse. I just love wearing Sarees since you hardly get

to wear them unless a random event or wedding takes place. Enjoy and let me now what

you guys think.

Eyes: I used Mac's Corn flower pigment, a peacock green from my 96 Palette and also rice paper by Mac for highlight.

Hope Everyone is Having a Wonderful Sunday!!

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello Ladies, Hope everyone is wonderful! So, as we all know valentine's day is right around the corner. Everywhere we go all you see is cinnamon hearts, teddy bears and heart melting love poems. What's better to start off February than a Valentine Day makeup look?

I Started off by Priming the lids with Mac's Painterly Paint pot.

For the inner corners I used Mac's Chill e/s.

Using bright colours on the inner corner like Chill will make the eye's really stand out.

In the centre of the eye lid I used Sunset B e/s by MAC.

On the outer Corner I blended out with some Passionate e/s.

Line your lids with your favourite black eyeliner.

Layer a couple of coats of your blackest mascara,

and you are date ready!

Good luck On trying out this makeup look for

your special someone :).

Thanks for stopping by Ladies and Stay POSH ;).

NOTD: Mac's Love and Friendship

Hellllooo loves, hope everyone is feeling wonderful! Life is seriously getting in the way of my blogging,

but my lovely readers and the positive comments always inspires to me to blog whether it is a simple post or

something more time consuming. Hats off to the bloggers that manage to post everyday, whether it is in between school/work or being a parent! :)

This Love and Friendship Nailpolish by Mac has been sitting in my drawer and was very unloved.

I decided to give it a shot as the colour from the outside never seemed appealing to me.

But...this dirty creamy lavender/lilac colour is the prettiest after about 2 coats! It is so elegant and

I have not seen another colour like this, and it is definitely a favorite in my collection now. It is truly a timeless nailpolish that goes with anything I am wearing, that is what I absolutely love about it.

Have any of you tried Mac's Love and Friendship? I would love to hear your thoughts about

this polish and please do share if there is a dupe out there!

Have a great one loves <3!



Eyes: Satin Taupe

Hello Beautifuls! It's been awhile since I have blogged, I hope everyone is doing great!

I wanted to start off by saying that Satin Taupe by Mac is my #1 Eyeshadow, I feel like it can be applied for a day time look, a night time look and it looks beautiful on all skin tones. I jusr love Satin Taupe, if I was stranded somewhere and was to pick one eyeshadow it would be satin taupe!!

Eyes: Satin Taupe e/s, on the outer corner I used Go by Mac for some depth.

Lineur Intense Eyeliner in Carbon Black

Mascara : Estee Lauder Voluminous in Black

I did not add falsies here, but if it is a night time look I would definitely add some

carbon to the outer corner and feather out the e/s along with some flirty falsies!

Face: Cover Fx in B15

Cheeks: Lorac Hot&Spicy Blush and Bronzer duo.

Love how this duo gives a fresh and healthy glow to the skin.

It is definitely a beautiful combo.

Lips: I used Gosh's Darling Lipstick which is a lovely nude

and topped it off with a clear lip gloss to add some shine.

Enjoy the look loves! Hope you all have a great day and

keep a look out for more looks.

PS. Let me know what you think of this FOTD!!

XOXO

Eyes: Pink and Bronze

Good Evening loves, Hope everyone is having an awesomee day ! I went out for my sister's surprise birthday yesterday and this is the look that I came up with using the Urban Decay Ammo Palette. I love urban decay eye shadows, they are so vibrant, the fallout can be annoying but that can easily be swept away by a fluffy brush.

Eyes: primed with perky paint pot

UD e/s in Chopper,Smog & Sin.

Face: Cover Fx Foundation in B15

Nuance Blush and Contoured with a dark brown eyeshadow ( this works best for me)

Lips: Mac 's Pink Nouveau, set with endless love eyeshadow on top.

(yes I did set my lips with eyeshadow, this is the trick to matte lips, that last all night, and it is also a plus b/c you can make your own colours!

I pulled my hair back and teased the crown a bit so it wasn't flat and added simple pearl earrings

for a sleek and classy look!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this look for a night out! Getting glammed up is always exciting! :) Have a great one!

My Top 10 Pigments

Hello girls, hope everyone is doing well as the holiday madness is over and we are now back to reality with work or school! The break was refreshing as I really needed the time off to just not think about exams or assignments. I wanted to brighten up the mood a bit and show you guys my top 10 most favorite pigments, I believe some of these are L/E however I am sure you can do a swap or two on makeupalley to find any of these.


Call it OCD, call it whatever you like...I don't know why but I just love keeping my makeup in it's original packaging even though I do use it. I find I can store it better and it just looks more tidy. I tried several times to throw away the boxes but it just doesn't feel right, so bare with me.

Top Left: Gold stroke, Royal Flush, Tea Time, Melon, Rushmetal
Bottom Left: Dark Soul, Mutiny, Kitchmas,Teal, Golden Lemon

What are some of your favorite pigments , leave a comment below as I would

love to try out new pigments and add them to my collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a good one!
