SEXY Valentines Day Look 2011

Yesterday, i did a Natural Valentine Day look. Today, I really felt inspired to do a sexy, smokey valentines day look. I think this one was much harder to pull off, because my face is far from looking anything like sexy. But i took up the challenge.

The colours were suppose to be a reddish copper, brown, and black...with a bright magenta, but the shadows kept oxidizing on me. This is the best i can do in capturing the colours. I still have to say that it not very representative of the real look




But i hope you would enjoy this anywas


Some of the products used in this look

Eyes Nyx Rust, Mac Handwritten, Mac Carbon, Mac Fuchsia Pigment

Lips Mac blooming Lovely with Mac Pretty Please

Cheeks Nars Deep Throat


this look is very bold. I literally packed on 10 pounds of eyeshadow. There is a lot of layering involve. I kind of did it in a rush, so you can tell that my blending is a little..EHHH in the pictures. This look is definitely for those of you who like bold dark colours. Red looks very intimidating but it's not that bad, if you keep it within your lid-space.




here is the full look.



It was very hard photographing this look. I don't know why. Maybe because the colours didn't stay true. I'm a little disappointed with that. It would have helped if it didn't get dark so early here.

But anyways, I think this would be my last look for a while. I just felt the URGE to do th is look. LOL. I hope this has inspired you!! & once again, have a wonderful, & sweet Valentines Day.



Loves and Kisses to you all

Natural Valentines Day Look! 2011

Today i felt like doing a look since valentines is just around the corner. The emphasis of this look is on natural, beautiful glowing skin. I think that for a day like valentines day, you want to look pretty and "glowing". When you are in love, you look & feel happy, healthy, blessed, and this is all reflected in your complexion. Having that "glowing" face just makes you look like your in love. hahaha. Does that make any sense? ANYWAYSS....

So here's my look:



It's quite simple. I sticked to using pretty lashes, blushes, and pink lipstick. I decides not to do major eyeshadow blending, because i've already done a Valentines look with pink and purple eyeshadow last year. So i thought i should do something a little more simple - something everyone else can also do.



Some of the Products Used:
Cheeks
Mac Pinch of Peach Blush
Mac Mineralizer in Smooth Verge

Foundation
Makeup Forever HD in shade 115

Others
Ardell - Luckies
Mac Way to Love lipstick - MY ABSOLUTE FAV (limited edition)
Mac Bare study Paint Pot - on eyes


oh and btw:

romantic curls is absolutely crucial. lol :D :D

washroom without flash:---------------------------------------------bedroom with flash



Have a WONDERFUL St.Valentines Day

Box On Vanity

i'm always on the lookout for ways to organize my makeup and unique ways to decorate my vanity. I found this cute little box at Winners, (by chance) and knew it would look great on my vanity. I'm not exactly sure what to store in it yet, but i was thinking some skincare products.

This is how it look and currently these are the things in it. I'm still deciding what is best. i thought it would look nice with my perfumes on it, but it's not wide enough. The only one that fits is the Vera Wang Pincers one.




a top view. Some miscellaneous items in the bottom drawer. Mainly, a lot of sample items, i'm testing out and what not.


These are someskincare products that are cluttering away on my vanity top. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions of how to organize/store these?? i use them on a daily basis.


So i need some ideas. What do you guys think would look good in my "box"?? Please share your creativity
