Iridescence II

Between celebrating my 29th birthday and watching Germany beat England in the World Cup, I actually managed to cram in some make up pictures and I'm really happy with them! I bought some nail art sequins on friday and tried to recreate their iridescence on my lids as well. I also included some of the sequins - this looks cooler in real life, as the light always changes and they capture the light differently. I also used some turquoise mascara on my lower lashes which was more obvious than it appears in the photos...

Bold Liner

Hey everyone,

this will probably be my last post for the next weeks, as I will be going on a USA-Canada (NY - Toronto - Daytona Beach - Miami) trip next sunday! I'm not planning on shopping too much make up, but I'm sure I'll still come across quite a few things that I'll bring back from there! You know my heart's not been in doing make up for the past few weeks, therefore I'm actually glad about some away time from the blog and I hope to be back with my head full of new inspiration :)! Oh, and I also need to work on clearing up my technique - I've become sloppy recently. Yeah. Probably it's the lack of concepts in my head that causes my recent looks to be somewhat lacklustre... So today I basically opted for some bold lining adorned with some green:

Still on a purple trip...

So many new followers and awesome blog awards - welcome and thank you all so much ♥!!

Yeah, I am still stuck in the same colour family... But I just felt like white and blue, and I added some teal glitter just because I love everything teal. I really, really couldn't think of a good title for this one though!

Hot Pink Flowers

I need to get a finer liner brush. I really do. Painting things is so much harder if you don't have an adequate brush for it.. Anyway this was inspired by a pattern on a box of flase lashes I bought in London. The lid colours are basically hot pink, black and dark purple, and the flowers are several shades of pink with pink flowers and rhinestones:

Butterfly

As most of you probably noticed, the blog has been revamped and now has a pretty new layout! I really like the colours and patterns - it just feels very "me", that's why I picked it mostly. The only thing I'm not so sure about are the double columns to the right - I'd have preferred to have one on each side!

This week's look was a request from Sofia via the Chatbox - she wanted a butterfly look involving lime green, turquoise, pink and purple. I'm sorry I did not really use purple - but I'm sure you could find a way of adding some to this look :)

Eyes: MAC Bare Canvas, Zoeva 88 Mattes palette, MAC Plumage, MAC Chartreuse, essence rhinestones, essence Glamour lashes, CG Lash Blast, Maybelline Expression kohl in white, wet 'n wild lilac Glitter

Winter Candy

Hey everyone,

did you have a snowy weekend as well? (This question is not for the brazilian gals - I know you are enjoying the sunshine :P!!) We were supposed to have a big snowstorm here but it's been all peaceful and quiet with only about 7 cm of snow. Anyway, with all the recent snowfalls I decided to do something wintery. I'm not very convinced by the outcome, but no risk, no fun - right?? The white line and the glitter in the crease are just not right, but at least it's good to know to avoid that in the future... Oh, and please ignore the hot mess a.k.a. my hair!!

Yes, I do wear some of my looks out!

Product List
Face: MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC15, MAC Studio Finish NC15, Pure Luxe You Glow Girl, MAC Pink Flurry
Eyes: MAC Bare Canvas, MAC White, MAC Platinum, hot pink from Zoeva 88 mattes palette, Maybelline Expression kohls in white and black, Manhattan JT in dark blue, Red Cherry Lashes #99, CG Lash Blast Luxe in Black Platinum, essence Moonlight glitters in silver and pink

Vivid Holiday Look 2009

Hey everyone,

sorry for not posting in some time! Last weekend I did Christmas shopping and preparations, and the weekend before was filled with 3 ballet performances which kept me quite busy :) But now Christmas is here I hope things will slow down a little for me. I am on holidays until Jan 4 and I brought quite a few bags of make up with me to my parents' house where I am spending the holidays - so expect a few more looks to come :)

This is the holiday look I created for Vivid Cosmetics, a Canadian make-up brand with which I am collaborating. Leah sent me one of their palettes to create looks with it, so all colours used are from their Eye Shadow Palette. I just added a little NYX glitter from the Glitter Cream palette to glam it up:








Product List:
MAC Bare Canvas, Vivid Cosmetics Spectrolite, Pitchgreen, Sulfur and Ice, NYX glitter, CG Lash Blast, Maybelline Expression kohl in white, essence Glamour lashes
*Note: This palette has been sent to me free of charge.*

Happy Holidays to all of you ♥!!
