Hey beauties! As mentioned previously, it is time for me to clean up my makeup stash and give some of these gently used items a new home.

General Info:

1. All items are very gently used (3 times max). I don't have anything in boxes as I bought these for personal use and just never got around to giving them enough love.

2. All items will be sanitized as applicable and everything comes from a clean and pet free home.

3. I have 100% positive feedback on Specktra here if you want to check it out.

Rules:

1. I only accept Paypal as it is the safest method. The invoice will come to you from my Paypal account "Saadeh Masaeli". Please select "Personal" instead of "Purchase" when sending me the payment so I don't get charged extra fees. If your shipping address is different from paypal, please let me know.

2. First comes first served! In order to ensure I see your request quickly, please send me an email at saadehmasaeli@yahoo.com with what items you're interested in instead of/in addition of commenting on the post.

3. Please ensure I receive your payment within 12 hours of receiving the invoice. Otherwise if there's someone else interested I will move on to them.

4. All prices are in Canadian Dollars (check online currency convertors). I will be shipping every Friday till all items are sold.

5. No returns, no holds. I will not be responsible for items once they leave my hands.

Shipping:

Shipping out of Canada is fairly expensive. It's actually also pricey to ship items within the country. I really have no control over this as Canada Post is our sole point of shipment here. All shipment include postage and packaging. Due to higher shipping prices out of here, it's probably best you buy more than one item.

- Shipping to the USA: $7
- Shipping to Canada: $8.50
- International: please send me your paypal address and I will get you a quote.

Alright, formalities out of the way, here are the goodies!

Hey lovelies! Hubby surprised me after my surgery with one of my most wished for items, Chanel Rouge Allure Lacque in Coromandel. He hid it in the basement and got me to find it as a test to how good my eyes were now. I did find it in 10 minutes, even though we live in a bungalow so our basement is huge! Isn't this the most gorgeous warm red you've ever seen? I love it, if possible, even more than Chanel Dragon *gasps*

I wore this look last Sunday for a documentary premier one of our close friends was sponsoring. I wanted to keep the eyes totally neutral but couldn't help but put some eyeshadows + liner in there :D

I had a bit of an annoying night as I rushed home, ate and changed to be ready for this kid I'm supposed to be teaching calculus to show up. Except he went completely MIA and didn't even call! I called and left a message an nothing. It was kinda frustrating as I waited around for him for a bit and was my time wasted. Anyway, he has two more sessions with me and I guess best for him to show up if he wants to pass calculus!

I hadn't done a double wing liner in a bit so I thought i spice this liner up for another Holiday Look. I love adding a bit of glitter liner in between the two wings for some oomhhh, lol! I also sported my recent fave lip combo of Nars Heat Wave l/s + Nars Babe l/g. Orange lips are HOT HOT HOT!

Hey guys! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend seeing there's only a few hours of it left. Hubby and I attended another b-day party last night and had a blast. We also went out after that b-day party to meet up with some coworkers for drinks and overall had an amazing Saturday night.

I tried to recreate this "parallel eyeliner" shape i keep seeing in magazine and not sure how I feel about it. The overall look came out ok but not sure if I try the liner thing again, lol! Let me know how I feel...oh and the dreaded SPF face, I don't know why I wear SPF at night too. It's probably just habit.

I was wearing a super soft light pink (almost nude shade) cashmere sweater today and got inspired to do a soft look. I feel very feminine with this kind of shades. Weirdly enough, I wore this look to an all day site visit and many of the guys told me I looked "radiant".

Hope you guys like this simple look.

This look is in a way inspired by MAC's Dare to Wear collection released last week. I skipped that collection as I already own enough bold shade and also I've splurging on Nars and Chanel so I need to cool it off a bit. I do like the colour story of Dare to Wear though and tried to create a look based on similar shades in my stash. I loved my lip combo best though *Chanel lippi love*

It's another hot and humid day here in Ottawa (37deg plus 80% humidity). In a way I want fall to be here already, lol! It's like after long and brutal winters, we get punished with unbearably hot summers. I try and enjoy what's left of summer though.

Hope you guys like this look :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I'm sure you guys have heard me countless times rave about the Chanel Rouge Coco lipsticks, but they are seriously so lovely. One of my faves is Orchidee which is a lovely light red coral shade. It's totally appropriate for day time and a good introduction to red lips for those who are scared of the shade.

I paired it with soft golden eyes and actually got a lot of compliments on my look. I still believe that more neutral looks are more flattering on me even though I love playing with colours (and do so often). Hope you guys like this :)

...instead I look red and sorta sweaty :/ It's because I went outside to try to take a pic in natural light. But it was too bright and the pics came out faded. So I came back inside and in that 3 minutes i was out I got this sweaty coz of the 45 deg high temperature! I cannot believe that Canada is one of the hottest places on earth today, lol! What's the world coming to??

Anyway, this is the look I wore yesterday to pick up my Alice + Olivia goodies. While I was at MAC, I also got rematched just outta curiosity and I'm only ONE shade darker than my natural shade. So I went from NW25 in studio fix to NW30. I cannot believe it took all this work to get only one shade darker, wtf! Well, it's only July, I still have two whole month of summer.

Hope you guys like this soft look. And hope you're enjoying the last day of work.

It's extremely hot in Ottawa these days. We've hit high of 35deg plus humidity it's closer to 45deg! I have no desire to leave the house at all but we all gotta work! I also cannot believe that I still managed to put on makeup, lol! I was inspired by the heat and have a warm look on. If you see that my face is looking red, again blame the heat!

How's the weather where you live? Hope it's not as bad as here.

Hey guys! Hope you are all having a great weekend. I'm sitting down to watch Italy vs New Zealand game and thought I share this look with you before. I wore this look to pick up my parents from the airport. They're finally back from their one month vacation in Iran (where we are ethnically from). It was great to see them after so long. And thank God my mom can finally fix my eyebrows this week sometimes. They are looking monstrous!

Anyway, I wore Port Red after a looooong time! This is one of the most gorgeous shades in my stash and is perfect for summer. I have probably done similar looks to this before, but this was very rushed, lol! Hope you guys like it anyway and excuse the white SPF face, haha! Flash and spf are def not good friends.

I know it's a lame title! This look isn't really anything especial, I just wanted to use some of the new products I got last weekend. I loooooved the coral lips though, too bad I couldn't take a decent closeup with the rainy weather we were having. I'm also happy to report that the MUFE aqua cream held on to my lids like MAC pait pots. I do not need to use a primer under them and they stay crease proof until I take them off. I'm gonna do a detail review of them sometimes this week. For now, hope you are all well and hope that you like this look.

btw, does anyone know how to photograph a faced layered by sun screen and not look ghostly white? I hate how my face doesn't match my neck even though my foundation is a match. Damn combination of sun screen and flash :/
