All About Eyes - Winter Ice

Products Used:

Annabelle Cosmetics Smudgeliner - Foxy Grey

Sephora Collection Eyeshadow - Aspen Summit 23

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette - Circus (pale, sky blue)

Annabelle Cosmetics Liquid Liner - Mystic Black

CoverGirl VolumeExact Mascara - Very Black

Something a bit less wearable for you lovelies today... There was a week in November where we experienced below 0 temperature. there was snow, ice everywhere; it was freezing. It kind of inspired me to create an icey look.

I started off by applying Foxy Grey Smudgeliner (which is actually silver) on the eyelid, ending just above the crease. Then I used Aspen Summit, a shimmery white eyeshadow and applied it all over the lid and up to the brow bone. Because I had a silver base, there will be a difference in shade, despite using the same eyeshadow. Next, I applied a sky blue eyeshadow just on the outer corner of the eye. Then with Annabelle's Mystic Black eyeliner, I applied a thin line on my upper lash line. Lastly, I applied Foxy Grey on the lower lash line, applied a few coats of mascara (I really don't recommend VolumeExact, I'm just trying to use it up :p), and filled in any gaps in my eyebrows with a matte black eyeshadow.

Hope you like this look!

Happy Monday :)

Keeping on Sephora Tis Season

Sephora is encouraging you to be more naughty than nice this holiday with Beauty Envy, a fun, new interactive Facebook App that allows you to keep, swap and even steal the most spectacular virtual beauty gifts of the season. This free App will have you and your friends vying for items from the hottest brands, including tarte, TARINA TARANTINO, bareMinerals, Laura Mercier and Hourglass. And as a reward, Sephora is offering players a free gift with any online purchase and a chance to win the real version of their virtual gift – one winner a day for 30 days.

Sephora worked with Rally, a specialty unit of Universal McCann focused on social media, to create the new App.  Download the free App beginning November 23, 2010 directly from Sephora’s Facebook page and immediately start receiving virtual gifts! First, play to find out what your virtual beauty gift is from one of more than 200 coveted items randomly selected by Sephora. The gift can be kept or swapped the following day when you have a chance to virtually exchange your gift again. Sephora’s gift to all who play is a promo code for a free, limited edition tokidoki beauty tote bag with any online Sephora purchase, while supplies last. This reusable tote features the criminally cute designs from the cult tokidoki beauty collection presented exclusively at Sephora.

Next, share the App with your friends via Facebook, and that’s when the fun really begins! The Beauty Envy App tracks the gifts your friends have received and allows you to view them by clicking on “My Beauty Envy Friend.” From there, you can decide if you want to keep what you have, swap it for a new random selection from Sephora, or if you’ve got beauty envy, steal something you like even better from one of your friends. That’s right! You can take your friend’s virtual gift, but be careful; one of your friends could be ready to swipe yours as well!

The Sephora Facebook Beauty Envy Game will also show you which virtual beauty gift has been stolen the most that day and allow you to browse and “Like” your favorites. By Liking your favorite products, your friends will know what you really want from Sephora this season. After all, the best way to avoid having real beauty envy is to ask for you Like, your friends will thank you.

Call It Beauty Does Halloween - Born In The 80's

Ahh, the 80s, with your big hair and garish makeup. Despite being supremely thankful I didn't have to go through my teens in the 80s, I must say I have a soft spot for that decade. So here's my take on the 80s look.

Products Used:

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation - Shell

bareMinerals Foundation - Light

MAC Studio Finish Concealer - NW25

MAC Paint Pot - Soft Ochre

Annabelle Cosmetics Mono Eyeshadow - Revolver

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette (Circus) - Purple, Pink & Matte Black

Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Mascara - Black

MAC Blush Ombre - Vintage Grape

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Petticoat

Sephora Eye Shadow - Aspen Summit No23

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick - Fuchsia

Since I was in an experimental mood, I decided to mix some mineral powder (bareMinerals - Light) and liquid foundation (Revlon PhotoReady - Shell) together to get a better shade match for my skin (Shell is too light). I just mixed them together on the back of my hand and applied the foundation to my face with a Sigma F60 Foundation Brush.

For the eyes, I started off by applying Soft Ochre Paint Pot all over the lid. Then, I applied Annabelle Cosmetics' Revolver eyeshadow on the lid up to the crease and flicking out the outer edge.

Next, I applied a shimmery purple eyeshadow from Sleek MakeUP's Circus palette on top of Revolver. This eyeshadow starts a bit further in the inner corner than Revolver. Again, this eyeshadow flicks out in the outer corner.

Then, I applied the shimmery pink eyeshadow from Sleek's Circus palette from the inner corner up arching up to the brow bone, as seen in the photo above. Afterwards, I blended some Aspen Summit eyeshadow from Sephora to the brow bone to give a bit more shimmer to the eye. 

To finish up the eyes, I used some matte black eyeshadow to line the upper and lower lash lines, as well as the lower water line. After applying a few coats of mascara, the eyes were done.

For the cheeks, I first applied MAC's Blush Ombre in Vintage Grape very heavily to the back of the cheek. To add a bit of shimmer, I layered MAC's Petticoat MSF on top of Vintage Grape and applied Sephora's Aspen Summit eyeshadow to the cheek bone. The more garish, the better :p.

Lastly, I applied Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuchsia straight from the tube. The 80s were about bright lipsticks, so this shade was absolutely perfect. 

And now for the finished look:

Hope you guys like this look!

All About Eyes - Red Light

Products Used:

MAC Paint Pot - Soft Ochre

Sleek Makeup i-Divine Palette - Circus (matte, bright red) & Sunset (matte black & shimmery, copper/red)

Sephora Colorplay 5-in-1 Palette - matte white

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack

L'oréal Voluminous Mascara - black

Another dramatic look... It's super easy, but I can't really imagine where I would personally wear this. I just wanted to challenge myself to create a look using red eyeshadow without looking (too) crazy. I think I achieved that goal and I hope you think so, too!

So I first primed my lid with Soft Ochre paint pot from MAC, which I applied with my fingers. Next, I applied the shimmery, coppery/red shade from Sleek's Sunset palette all over the lid, stopping just below the brow bone. This shade was also applied to the lower lash line, taking it slightly lower than I would for a wearable look. Then, using the matte red eyeshadow and a fluffy, blending brush (Sigma E25), I blended it all along the outer edges of the shimmery red.  Once that was blended through, I took some more product and softly blended around the edges again so the colour will spread out over the eye that much more. Next, I lined my upper and lower lash lines (as well as the bottom water line) with MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline. This product doesn't look good on water lines, which means I really should get a black pencil eyeliner to replace my last one. So then I applied a bit of matte black eyeshadow to the top lash line just to blend the edge of the Blacktrack a little bit. I also used this to fill in my eyebrows, which I applied with EcoTools' Angled Eyeliner Brush). Lastly, I applied 1-2 coats of my current favourite mascara, L'oréal Voluminous, and the look was done!

Hope you liked this look

and

have a great week :)
