Vibrant Eyes
Hello Make Up Lovers,
This week I thought it would be fun to have a more colorful approach to my make up. What better way then to incorporate one of my favorite companies such as Iconic Cosmetics who thrive on those vibrate pigments in their lipsticks that I absolutely love. But before we get to the lips lets start with the eyes as per usual. So I first I put on my base color which is white in Marcelle's Midnight Seas quad. I like Marcelle because it is hypo-allergenic and 100% perfume free. It also lasts all day so you don't have to worry about it fading away. I then switched to Pixi's Pretty Eye Perfection eye shadow palette which contains 12 shades which consists of lilacs and neutrals. I used one of the lighter lilac shades to blend with the white shade. I also lightly put it underneath my bottom lid to create more depth. I then created a smokey look with a dark purple color. Next I grabbed my Physician's Formula black shimmer eyeliner which I bought in their trio that enhances blue eyes. I used that brand on my bottom lid and then used NYX studio liquid liner in extreme black. As I mentioned in previous blogs I swear by NYX's liquid liners! This is a must have in your make up box.I used Lancome's hypnose star mascara . It's known for its ultra glamorous volume. I use this mascara every now and then to switch it up from my usual hypnose drama. The difference is star has a thicker and more straight wand whereas drama is thiner and is more curvy. Now to finish this bold look is with Iconic Cosmetic's lipstick in Island Punch. I love this company because they have pretty much every color in the rainbow for those of us who dare to be a little more adventurous in our make up taste. It lasts all night so it's definite go to for a ladies night out :)

Butterfly Eyes
Hello Make Up Lovers,
So I was walking through Shoppers Drug Mart yesterday and of course I had to see if there were any sales on cosmetics. Something that caught my eye were some Annabelle products that were not only on sale but it was a 2 for 1 type products taped together. I don't normally go for Annabelle cosmetics but then I thought I could do a look that was mostly all Annabelle products. So here we go. I first put on my Lancome foundation as I always do. Then I put a base color from NYX sex bomb palette of a sheer cream color. I first grab Annabelle's Twistup retractable eyeshadow crayon in the color indigo. I slide that on my top lid and lightly underneath my bottom lid.I found that this color doesn't last very long and that you have to reapply it after a few hours or it will disappear.I Then grabbed Annabelle Instaglam which is a eyeliner and mascara in one tube. The mascara is a blue color called Abyss and the eyeliner is black. I first drew a line on my lid and then three branches out from it. I then dabbed it on the brow bone so it would give it a fun butterfly style. The liner is the kind that looks like a thick marker . It seemed a little dried out. I did however liked the blue mascara. For colored mascara it worked better then others I have used in the past. Next I tried Annabelle's stay sharp self sharpening waterproof lipliner in the color vintage. It is hypo-allergenic and lasts 6 hours. I don't normally use lip liners but this one works really well. Finally I tried out Annabelle's Twist Up retractable lipstick crayon in Absolute. At first I wasn't crazy about the color but the more I wore it the more I liked it. So in the end I did like this product. So out of these new products I liked the lip liner and lipcrayon the best and would probably pass on the eyecrayons and the instaglam liner. Thanks again for taking the time to read these reviews! Hope everyone has a fabulous day! Mwah!

Cat Eyes...
Hello Make Up Lovers,
Sorry I missed last weeks look but don't you worry I'm back! So I will apologize in advance that I am still working on the cat eye's look but it's a working progress. So today I started off with my usual Lancome teint idole ultra 24h liquid foundation. Then I used Revlon's photoready palette in Muse . started with a the light purple as base then a dark purple over lid and a darker purple over crease to give a smokey look. I then used Revlon's photoready palette in Pop art just using the gold color over the brow bone. Next step is NYX black liquid liner and then I go over it with lancome's le crayon khol in black ebony to form the cat eye's look. I always use Lancome's hypnose drama mascara to give that long lashes boost. Finally to keep things simple I used Covergirl's colorlicious lipgloss in plumilicious! Practice makes perfect so I will for sure work on my cat eyes! Meow! Have a fabulous day everyone!
