FOTD - June 29, 2011 - Purple

I really like bright colours... Yet I'm too conservative to go all out... here's me playing with UD Purple Haze which is dampened with Sephora's Sweet Candy (it also helped blend the purple and white together) I had to do that because the UD shadow is extremely pigmented!

This is the order I did my look in... :)

Recent purchase: Kat Von D True Romance E/S Palette

Here is a look I created using the green shades of my Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Truth. I actually decided to do this look to match my Angry Bird 'Chilling like a Villain' tee... ^.^ Anyways... back to the palette, the packaging is so pretty and cute that I almost didn't have the heart to rip the tissue paper off.

I took it out of its box but it was wrapped in tissue paper!

... after I savagely ripped off the tissue paper...

Lipstick / Lipbalm Haul!

Last week I read on a blog about EOS lipbalms on sale at Rexall, so Roni and I decided to go check it out... unfortunately, the sales girl working there told us that they have discontinued selling them (I guess that's why the sale...) we were bummed out until we found out that they had a buy 1 get 1 free lip products promotion going on, and there began our search for lipsticks and lipbalms! Here's my mini haul~

Vasanti tinted lipbalm in Cancun

Vasanti Conquer 3in1 lip treatment (I find myself reaching for this as often as I do my EOS lipbalm.. hmm...)

A little bit of interesting information about this brand that I want to mention is that it is Canadian, it's products are all made in Canada, and it is founded by 3 Canadian women :) oh and their makeup are cruelty free :) This is my first exposure to this brand since I have only recently started shopping at Rexall but I can see myself purchasing more Vasanti products :)

First Hautelook order: Urban Decay + swatches

It finally arrived!!

I was so excited to get my Urban Decay shadows from Hautelook!! There is just something so exciting about unboxing a package (kind of like Christmas presents, but it can happen all year around.) It's funny how even though I knew what I ordered, I was still surprised when I saw them. Soooo pretty and for less than $8 each.... Anyways... Here's my haul!

I decided to try UD's Cream eyeshadow and also a few of the singles eyeshadows:

EOTD - Simple eyes with Blue and Pink :)

I created this look because 1) I was bored and 2) I wanted to try out my MAC eye shadow in Haunting. When I first got this colour (free from the warehouse sale earlier this month), I wasn't sure what to do with it.. The colour looks so faded that I thought it wouldn't show on my yellow skin, so I decided to experiement a little... and it turned out okay when used with a base or in my case two bases since I decided to use both MAC's pot paint in painterly + NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in cottage cheese... the color actually stays pretty true to pan, even though the pictures were not able to capture that, haunting is a faded/washed blue in daylight, but depending on the setting/lighting it can look purple or aqua blue...

For this look I actually used the following color: Stylish(pink), The New Black and Drape(white) from my Lancome palette + MAC's Haunting. I was pleasantly surprised to see how blue + pink created the purple, it reminded me of grade school :)

yeps, that's me being me... =)

Please excuse the inconsistent lighting... with the flash my face is almost ghostly white... -__-
