Hey!!!
So here’s a look that I wore at night.
Blue Iridescence
I was inspired by beetle’s wings and decided to do a blue iridescent look. It’s a little bright, with the light, shimmery teal and a little smokey. Good for a summer night out, and black mascara completes the look!!!
So In The Groove is one of the collections coming out in July in the US. It features a bunch of mineralized products which are popular for at least one summer collection. I am definitely interested although M.A.C. can be hit or miss with the formulations, especially for the MES (sometime they come out super smooth like the first set, but others are quite grainy like last year’s).

Collection arrives July 8th in the U.S. and in August internationally

Hey, just a quick LOTD.
Saw this look done by Erin over @Makeup Fiend. I love this look and I have not done it in a long time!!! So I worked it out!!! Of course, it’s a great summer look, since it features golds and bronzes. This look is an easy way to use pink, which some people find hard to use sometimes. Also works well with other brights – corals, teals etc. Not too bright, used the 224 brush so that it’s a wash of colour.
The Ingredients
Hey guys!!!!
Another installment of my series. Today’s focus is on the cheeks.

I must admit that this is an area that I have only recently gotten into. I’m all about the eyes but I have come to realize that the right cheek colour and application could take a look to another level!!!
Again, there are many different formulations for cheek colours and these include:
So there is something there for everyone, you just need to find something that suits you.
There are a few things to take into consideration when selecting your cheek colour and formula:
So yeah…..I’ve been slackin’ off on my basics beauty series, ‘So you want to wear makeup….’. But I’m back!!!!
This is help you with the basics of makeup application, a 5-minute-out-the-door face, a simple work look. Find my other articles on the basics here:
So eyes are my favourite part of my face to make up. There are so many possibilities, colour combinations, textures etc. But for those that are beginners, or those who don’t have a lot of time, just a few simple steps could give you a polished look.
The Brows
Before I get into eyes, I have to speak of the eyebrows. Your eyebrows are absolutely important as they frame the eyes and the face. It’s one of the first places that people see. Many people have their brows shaped via threading, waxing or tweezing but really and truly, combing your eyebrows will make them look groomed. This is where a spoolie or eyebrow comb comes in handy. I think the metal brow combs are the way to go! The plastic ones break every 5 mins! Also get a shape that suits the way the hair grows, eye shape etc. Overly plucked brows are a no-no!
