A Mad Halloween!

Since I am a newly made redhead, I wanted to take full advantage of it for Halloween and pick a costume that would play it up. I decided on Joan Halloway from Mad Men and my boyfriend went as Don Draper.

The makeup itself is very stylized, but still simple – thick winged black liner (I used Maybelline’s eye studio in blackest black and MAC’s fluid line), a hint of a peach cheek (I used Stila’s Convertible Colour in Gladiola) and a hot lip (I wore Revlon’s Just Bitten in Gothic).

The hair was another story…that took some architecture! Thankfully it was nothing I couldnt handle with the help of a Bumpit (ya – I said it!), some teasing and hairspray.

Let me know what you think! 

Hope you all had a safe and fabulous Halloween!

Sneak Peak – Upcoming Posts

Hi All!

The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic and I have not given my blog the love and attention it deserves. That doesnt mean I havent still been trying and testing makeup to review for you. Here is a preview of some of the products I’ve got coming up on the blog:

Annabelle Zebra Bronzer vs. Annabelle Mineral Bronzer – I’ve tried both, now which is my favourite?

Revlon Fire & Ice and Kiss Me Coral Lipstick – Two summer must haves!

Arbonne Face Primer – Have you heard of Arbonne? I have!

Maybelline New Falsies Mascara – I’ve tried, I’ve tested, now do I like it more than Colossal?

E.L.F Nail Polish Haul – Lots ‘O colours to try!

So keep checking in! I havent forgotten my blog, I’ve just been a little busy with some exciting new work that I hope to share with you shortly.

FOTD – Maybelline Eyestudio

I recently received the Maybelline Eye Studio Kit from Matchstick to try out. Instead of try it alone, I had a bunch of other bloggers over to my house last Friday to play with the product! A girls night of makeup and bbq-ing = awesomeness. In attendance were Farah (FacesByFarah), Marie (Karmacake),  Sumaya (Sumaya Papaya) from Matchstick, and Nat (Anastasia Tubanos). I provided the location, but these ladies definitely provided the fun (and the food!).

So apparently we had too much fun with bbq, dessert and makeup because I didnt take any pictures! BUT I did try out the makeup a couple days later on myself and came up with the  look below. I used the the Colour Plush Silk Shadow in “Give Me Gold” with the Colour Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadow in “Khaki Craze”. I lined my eyes with the brown in the Silk Shadow on top and the Khaki Craze green on the bottom and finished with the XXL Pro Curl Washable Eyeshadow.

Hope you like it!
