A night out and rebel lipstick

So last night was my friends birthday and I decided to try out rebel lipstick by MAC that I got with the back to mac empties!! It's always exciting when you collect six empties to bring back. I flipped out my hair with my straightener and used a bit of hairspray. Lately, I've been loving a strong cat eye and lipstick. This is a quick and easy look and still looks very glamorous. Instagram has also been the latest addiction of mine...so that's where these pictures are from if your wondering about the quality.

Rebel lipstick is really pigmented and it can be vibrant as wearing a red lipstick. I

love the consistency and how a little goes a long way. I decided to use a lipstick brush to

apply the lipstick so it isn't overwhelming, which also gave me more control over the colour. I topped it off with a lighter lipgloss to tone the colour

down. On a braver night  I will wear it with it's full amp!!

Rebel Lipstick - <3 loving the consistency and colour.

Darker skin tones will definitely benefit from this lipcolour,

it's so rich and brings out the finest features.

Simply beautiful!!

Thanks for stopping by and leave your thoughts!!

Glam it up for a Wedding! Side Hair do + Sleek Makeup.

So this weekend I attended my friends wedding at a beautiful venue.

Dress shopping did not work out for me since I waited until the last minute to

find an outfit. Finally, I ended up wearing a dress from Le Chateau which was sitting in the closet and

voila I managed to pull it off. I curled my hair and pulled it to the side and kept the makeup simple and sleek.

Here are some pictures from the day of! Let me know what your opinions are about

this look.

The beautiful bridesmaid and I. The fit and the colour
of their dresses was simply gorgeous.

Makeup For Monolids

Hello to my beautiful followers,

hope everyone is having a hot and happy summer so far!

August is here and school/work will be resuming soon enough so

make the best out of your last few weeks of this beautiful weather.

Last week my friend from work had a date that she was super excited about

and had asked me to do her makeup. Of course I was excited because she

has the most beautiful features. I love Asian eyes I think they are so exotic looking

so I was more than happy do her makeup. She hardly wears any makeup so she preferred

a simple look , she also did not want to scare her date away lol.

Hope you guys enjoy this one!

P.S let me know what your thoughts are.

Thanks for Stopping by :).



Everday Summer Look

This is an everyday summer look that I have

been wearing out. Simple, fast and ready to go.

Eyes: Primed with Girlfriendly Paint pot

Black Track Fluid Line by Mac

Plush lash Mascara by Mac

Face: I either stick to a tinted moisturizer or my true match foundation w/ spf

Cheeks: Love rock Blush by Mac

Lips: venetian rose Lipstick by Estee Lauder

Love rock is one of my favorite blushes, it's a pink raspberry colour with shimmer so its like a blush plus

highlight in one package. When the eyes are simple this truly warms up the face.

Venetian Rose by Estee Lauder ( on the left) is creamy and lovely for a day or night out. It's the right amount

of nude without wiping out your lips. If your lips are toned unevenly this opaque lipstick is great for you.

Another Favorite highlight is this orgasm stick highlight by nars,

I had gotten this at the shiseido/nars sale alone with my super orgasm blush.

This is perfect for highlighting and adding shimmery accents to your face

without looking like a ball of glitter.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Thanks for stopping by :).

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.
