FOTD - Crazy For Coral

{Rimmel Coral Queen/MAC Strange Potion/MAC Bite of Apple}

The above pic includes the coral pigmetned products I used to create this Face of The Day.

I have never worn coral before, and usually shy away from anything orangey or brown.

But the other day I was paging through a mag and got inspired:

So I looked high and low through my make-up collection in search of a "Bambi-brown" shadow that would give me the look Carminody spoke of so highly.
Finally I came across two shades in this Claire's pallete that seemed to do the trick:

{Lighter shade on lid, darker shade in crease}

I have to say that I love Claire's shadows/blushes, because they are very pigmented and high quality, but so cheap! When I bought this the shop girl informed me that Claire's makeup is manufactured by the same company that does Sephora make-up. You might want to research this more before taking my word for it, but I wouldn't be surprised..

I then used the Bite of Apple coral blush on the apples of my cheeks:

....... et voila! :

Tell me what you think of coral make-up.

My First Male Photoshoot

There's little I love more than playing around with photography. I'm amateaur to say the least .. the main reason being that I don't have a professional camera (hoping to get one soon). Last week I was inspired by my fiance's work outfit .. it looked very "GQ ish". It was rainy out, so I asked him if I could do an "editorial photo shoot" in the parkade of our building lol. Being the lovely gem that he is he agreed! He was happy to use his new car as a prop as well =)

Very poor lighting .. it was a parkade after all! But his rugged good looks shone through and I was able to get a few decent pics =) Most of all, we both had fun doing it!

^Having a little fun at this point

It was so fun to be on the other side of the camera for a change!

Any seasoned photographers out there? Share you advice!

MAC Venomous Villains Mini Haul - I Just Couldn't Wait!

Bonjour Poupees!

I went to check out the new wing of Chinook Centre today, and on the way passed by MAC. They had their Venomous Villains display in the window, and I was pulled in to have a lookie.

I know I ordered online and my villain goodies should be here any day now, but I just couldn't resist getting a couple more of the pieces today! Instant gratification has always been a weakness of mine =P

What I got:

Evil Queen Strange Potion Lipglass:

A gorgeous peachy coral gloss!! I love the Evil Queen packaging the most in this collection =)

Evil Queen Bite of Apple blush :

A beautiful coral pink to match the gloss. It's the brightest blush in the collection.

Isn't it gorgeous?




I love this collection so much!

Stay tuned for the rest of my Villains haul with Face Of The Days.. coming up next week!
