Me again! This is the look I wore to hubby's cousin's wedding. I went for a gray/burgundy look and the whole thing took 15 mins to do (we went out the night before so I slept in). The venue was amazing! The ceremony was held outdoors with a great view of the valley. The bride is a big tomboy so it was nice to see her all dolled up and girlie. She looked beautiful and had this glow about her. I'm just a big sucker for weddings!
Ok, so here's my quick and simple wedding look:
Face

Pro Longwear foundation - NW25
Nars Sin blush

Painterly p/p - base

And here's a picture of my dress. It's by Bedo. I'm glad I did some self tanning spray before the wedding. This dress looks much better on tanned skin:
and here's the bride arriving with her parents:
Just for fun, a picture of me and my uncle in law dancing near the end of the night. I don't know why he looks so shocked, lol!

Hey lovelies! I'm back from my short but sweet vacation. We had last week off and visited NYC for sight seeing (3 days) and then drove to Baltimore for a wedding (3 days). We both had a blast. I did a tone of shopping in the land of low taxes (a.k.a USA) and it was nice to see some friends and families that we don't get to hang out with often.
I hardly wore any interesting makeup the entire trip (except for the wedding). For the most part, I did foundation, blush, liner, mascara and a bold lipstick. This was my go-to look almost 80% of the time, I took a pic for you guys to see, lol!
Here are a couple of pics from the trip for now. Hope you guys like them. The vacation was great I actually missed blogging :D
Time Square, obviously!

I will post the look I wore to the wedding plus my Inglot + Sephora haul shortly so stay tuned!
Hey guys! I'm on vacation now until Oct 18th but did a couple of scheduled posts to keep you entertained while I'm gone. The first of them is one of my current fave nail polishes, MAC Bad Fairy. This nail polish was released with MAC's Venomous Villains collection a couple of weeks ago. It's a complex shade to describe; I would say the base is a rosy red but has copper/orange reflects. It's absolutely beautiful! It does take some patience to apply though. The formula is on the thicker side and you'll need three thinner coats to get the best affect. But once you do, it's absolutely worth it!

One more day till my back to back trips! First off to Frontenac for camping in the wilderness and then off to NYC and Washington D.C.! This look is actually from Wednesday. I felt like wearing my Rebel l/s and paired it with all gray e/s.
Hope you guys enjoy this look. Happy Thanksgiving long weekend to my fellow Canadians!
P.S. it seems like I'm losing my tan :(

Happy Thursday lovelies! I'm super swamped these days with work and organizing details of our one week long trip and I'm finding it hard to squeeze in blogging time. But I like to do my Thursday poll as usual.
For this week, I wanted to ask you about your favourite blushes. Who do you think makes the best blushes? I have tried many blushes from a varity of brands, from drugstore to mid-range and high end. I will say that Nars still has my heart. They make the best variety of blush finshes and pigmentation and I find theirs last on my cheeks a very long time. My second favourite is Chanel. I love how silky Chanel blushes are but hate the price tag. I also really like MAC beauty powder blushes. I wish they made a few of them permanent instead of teasing us with limited edition stuff.
Some of my favourite blush shades farom various brands are: Nars Deep Throat (my most used ever), Nars Desire, Chanel Plum Attraction, MAC Stark Naked and Eversun beauty powder blushes.
In your opnion, which brand is the winner the blush department? What are some of your favourite blushes? Please share in comments.
