Make Up For Ever Pro Seminar

This Thursday I took advantage of the Make Up For Ever Pro Seminar being held here in Vancouver. They had a guest speaker of Stan Edwards. He did a demo and talked about HD products, and how the term "HD" effects make up artists these days. I enjoyed it.


IMG I received by email from Make Up For Ever

He touched on the things like HD cameras and how there's basically less room for error now that we see almost everything in at least 1080p.



Oh yeah, they also sold pro only, and retail products at the backstage card member discount of 40% off! So I picked some things up.

Product Talk: OCC Lip Tar

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics has been pretty popular for a couple of years now, but every time I wear one of my Lip Tars I always get asked "what colour is that?" or "where did you get that?" or the big one "How does your lipstick stay on all day?!"

Here's the lip tars I own and I'll share my opinion, where I got them, and how you can get them.

Maybelline New York: the Falsies Flared Volum' Express Review

I have a crazy stash of Maybelline Mascaras in my collection due to coupons and BOGO sales, so over the next while there will be the occasional review.

First up is The Falsies.

Green with envy...

Or maybe not...

Inspiration is everywhere!

I love green. Green tea, green clothes, green eye makeup! I think the green really makes hazel eyes and my blue eyes just pop! Here's a quick tutorial that will hopefully bring you the luck 'o the Irish. St Patty's day is just a couple weeks away!

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.
