YAY, TUTORIALS! Ocean Wonders.

I finally got around to doing a tutorial last night! :) This look is another one for the Summer Collection. I wanted to do a look that was like the 'Ocean'. So, I took out my BH Cosmetics palette (second edition) and picked out the colours that reminded me of the water/Ocean. I like the way the look turned out and it's simple to create! I called this one "Ocean Wonders".

I'm Still Alive! :)

So, it's been for-ever since i've blogged or done a tutorial. Life got a little hectic in the last little while (nothing bad, just busy!)

My girlfriends & I were recently in Toronto (ON) & did some shopping (yay!) I filmed a haul video on all of the goodies I purchased :D The reason we went to Toronto was to see New Kids On the Block & BACKSTREET BOYS in concert. It. Was. AMAZING! Oh my God, I can't even tell you how awesome the concert was. I've been a BSB fan since I was 8 years old (yes, that's going on 17 years!) but never listened to NKOTB. Let me tell you that I am now a NKOTB fan!

I will be doing another summer collection tutorial very soon. I'm back to work Monday after being off for almost 14 months (sick leave & then maternity leave). I can't believe our baby is going to be a year old (tomorrow)! It makes me really sad :(

I hope you enjoy the haul video :) Sorry it's a little on the long side. Stay tuned for a new tutorial, coming soon!

Simple Bridal Makeup Look.

I did a very subtle & simple look yesterday with weddings in mind. This look would be perfect for the bride or for the bridesmaids. The colours I used compliment any eye colour. It's an easy look to create & especially would work well for those who don't typically wear a lot of makeup. :)

Tropical Sunset.

My inspiration for todays look was the colours of a tropical sunset. This is a look i've been meaning to do for a while now, & finally had the chance to do it today. I pulled out my 88 cool shimmer palette (BH Cosmetics) & created the entire look using this palette & one of BH Cosmetics brushes. I've been using the 120 palettes (BH Cosmetics) a lot lately & have been neglecting the cool shimmer palette, asides from using it for highlight colours. It felt good to put it to work today (ha ha) :D

Pink Flamingo!

Todays look was inspired by the colours of a pink flamingo! A dramatic look, probably more suitable for evening (mind you, I wore it today during the day ... but I didn't leave the house, haha. I'm lame, I know.)

Banana Boat!

You can truly get inspiration from anywhere/anything! Today I created a look inspired by the colours of my Banana Boat Sunscreen tube! Haha, I know that sounds funny, but it's the truth! I wasn't too sure what/how I was going to do the look, so I just started doing & this is what the end result was.

I'm such a nerd :P
