Look of the Day - Simple Sparkly Blue

Hey all!

In my post where I reviewed MAC's Siahi Fluidline, I said I had been wearing it with a blue look and I finally remembered to snap a couple of picture of the look (well, I didn't remember until I got home - 6 hours after it had been applied). Anyways, I love this look because it's super easy but still looks pretty rockin'.

Look of the Day - Holiday Greens

Hey guys!

I know it's been forever since I last posted a makeup look but now that my semester is over I've started actually caring about makeup again! Plus, I've been able to play with some of the makeup that I accumulated throughout the semester that I didn't have time to play with when I purchased it and that's been really fun.

This look is one that I came up with for the holiday season and that I have been wearing at various holiday parties and get togethers. It's gotten a lot of compliments and it's surprisingly very easy to do!

Look of the Day - Bronze Smokey Eye with a Twist

I wasn't feeling very creative today so when I sat down to do my makeup I just did a simple bronze smokey eye.
Then, as I was reaching for my brown eyeliner, I spotted my GOSH Extreme Art Eyeliner in this beautiful turquoise colour and I thought that it might be interesting to add a little twist to my simple smokey eye. So, this is what I ended up with:


I actually love the way it turned out and I think I'm going to have to go out in the next while and pick up a few more of these eyeliners, they're great!

Look of the Day - Featuring MAC Alice + Olivia Pigments

Ok, so the title is a little misleading since this isn't actually today's LOTD, but it's a look I wore this past weekend that I didn't get around to posting. I still hadn't tried out any of the pigments I got from the Alice + Olivia collection so I decided that I absolutely had to do a look that incorporated them and this is what I came up with:
