Happy Canada Day!

July 1st marked Canada's 145th Birthday. We went downtown for dinner and to check out the events going on, there's always lots going on downtown on Canada Day.

I did my make up in a Canadian Style in honor of my great country's day.

Fun fact: red is the HARDEST colour to blend, ever!!

Products: 

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk

MAC Gesso Eyeshadow

Pure Luxe Pigment in OMG!

MAC Creme Liner in Black

Maybelline Turbo Volum' Express Mascara

Lips - MAC Redd Lip Liner and Ruby Woo Lipstick

We went to Red Robin and people watched from the Patio, one of our favorite things to do downtown. Ha-ha!

I went for a mediterranean chicken burger, mostly sticking to my healthy eating plan. Who can resist a couple Red Robin fries!

We went way off track after that and got cupcakes. *blush* I guess I'll be working twice as hard at the gym tomorrow. ;)

EOTD - Eye Of The Day

In honor of the JDRF Walk for a Cure on Sunday, I rocked a baby blue eye look. JDRF uses blue as a key colour in their logo, and I wanted to pay homage.

FOTD - Satuday Springtime Rainbow

It's been so beautiful out lately I thought I'd reflect some of that colourful beauty in my make up. Here's my Face Of The Day from Satuday. Let me know if this is something you'd like to see in a tutorial!

See it on Facebook http://facebook.com/HeavenlyMakeUp

The eyes are all from my Ben Nye Lumiere Pallet. I have on Joe Fresh Hydrangea Blush and MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick. 

OOTD & FOTD

Today is beyond beautiful. It's sunny and warm and it's the 4th of Feb. I love living in Vancouver. :) Today we went out to Ikea to check out new desks for the hubby. Here's my outfit of the day (OOTD) and face of the day (FOTD) Enjoy!




I wore black leggings (Addition Elle), a purple sweater dress (Ricki's), with a black belt (Ricki's). Over top to keep me slightly warmer I wore a white sweater that's long in the front and short in the back (Ricki's).
I accessorized with a sparkley scarf (Forever 21), and a long necklace with some charms on it (Claires). I wore my favorite knit hat (H&M), and my regular old metal tunnels.





I did a purple eye with my Ben Nye Lumiere Pallet, lined with smoulder eye pencil fro MAC, and Maybelline Falsies Mascara. My face has my  normal Skin79 BB Cream, MUFE HD Powder, NARS Laguna bronzer. No lipstick today. I'm rocking Carmex on my lips. They're so dry lately.

FOTD - Sept 2

Okay, so more like eye of the day. I couldn't get a good face shot. I'm wearing NARS Habanera Duo, MAC Creme Liner in Black, and NYX Doll Eyes mascara.

What's On My Face?

I try to keep my makeup simple for work days, but sometimes I get stuck on certain products. I guess that's bound to happen when you own as much make up as I do. So this week, this has been what's on my face consistently...

MUFE HD Foundation - I ran out of BB Cream, and until I get my lazy butt to ebay or cystal mall I'm out of luck. I'm #115



NYX Eyeshadow base in E03 Skin Tone - much much darker than my skin tone...



Urban Decay Skull Palette - I've used different colours this week, but all from this palette. Today is Cherry  (top left) and Grifter (top right)



NARS Laguna Bronzer - Very very nice bronze, no shimmer



NYX Doll Eye Mascara Long Lash - An IMATS grab. It's ok, but I think it makes my eyes itch...

FOTD - Saturday July 16

I've been wearing a lot of neutral makeup during the week to work, so this last Saturday I wanted to spice it up a bit and broke out my old trusty Ben Nye Lumiere Grande palette and rocked some bright colours.

e.l.f. Eyeshadow Review and FOTD using e.l.f.

So I opened up all the packaging and took some pictures, and my sad attempt at swatches (I have no idea how bloggers get good swatch pix!!!!)

Here's the deets about the eyeshadows and my over all opinion.

OOTD/FOTD - Thursday June 23

I desperately need to do laundry, what does this mean? Dress time. Ha-ha. My class this day all commented on it. I love this dress, it's a little big, but I still love it.


I got it at Ricki's last year, I think it was $60 or $80. The shrug is separate and a must have since it's big in the shoulders/arms and you can totally see my bra w/o it. It's from Ricki's for about $25 I believe.

13 Quesions Tag

1. What do you order at Starbucks?
Either a Grande Pike with room, or a tripple grande non-fat vanilla latte if I'm feeling fancy.

2. What's one thing in your closet that you cannot live without?
My black 50 style dress. I don't have a picture, but it's my favorite thing.

3. What's one thing that most people probably wouldn't know about you?

FOTD - March 26, 2011

We went out today to do some errands and see the cherry blossoms, so I felt compelled to wear bright springy-summery eyes. Going back to my roots, the reason I started to love makeup. BRIGHT COLOURS!!!


Tank tops make me look naked! O_o

FOTD - March 13, 2011

I'm heading down to the theatre to do a fitting for the ugly pants I made this weekend. We're doing Amadaus, so it's period clothing, hence why they're so ugly. I'll share pictures when They're done.

Here's my Face Of The Day. I've been really into browns lately so I did a simply brown wash with minor crease definition, and a pinky lip.

Playing With Makeup - January 8, 2011

I was torn... Play with makeup or play the sims... well I have the sims running in the background just in case, but makeup totally won.

Here's what I came up with tonight. I did the first one with what I had on in the day, just brows and mascara, so there's no foundation and you can see how awesome my skin is right now. :( The second one I did full face makeup, mostly because I want to back-to-mac my studio tech foundation and I have just a little left over. It's way to heavy and sitts in my pores.

 More pictures after the jump...

Fun with Make Up

Make up is fun, and I often find myself in front of my mirror playing around. This is what happened tonight...

I was aiming for new years, and came up with space age drag style? WTF. I still like it tho! ha-ha! What do you think?

FOTD - Oct 15, 2010

Here's my day 2 look with the few same products as yesterday. The lighting is really off though... Not as good a yesterdays. So I only have eye shots. the skin stayed the same anyway.


Look #2 - October 15, 2010

FOTD - Oct 14 2010

Today starts the moving process. I've packed up all (ok almost all) my makeup, and only left a few products to use over the next few days. I'm taking this advantage to show you how you can get different looks from the same base products.

FOTD - Sept 19

Just a quick FOTD, and what I used.

Lady Gaga Make Up

So the Lady Gaga concert is next week and I'm trying to figure out what make up I'm going to do. I love doing make up inspired by the performer I'm seeing. For No Doubt I did a wicked green, yellow and red make up look, rasta inspired.

FOTD - August 10

I'm in no way original or creative. This is my take on Resha from Accidental Beauty's look she posted on her blog, http://accidentalbeauty.com/looks-tutorials/face-of-the-day-fotd/mac-dare-to-wear-super-bright-fotd/ I'm a big fan of her blog.
