Some (semi) Recent Purchases

Most of these are from today and there is a FOTD and NOTD thrown in as well :)

I suppose I'll start out with the FOTD.

You can also see the final hair colour here, but it's not that different from my natual hair colour.

Used:
Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer
Revlon Concealor
Physician's Formula loose mineral powder in Translucent/Light
PF mineral wear blush in Berry Perfection
MAC blacktrack fluidline
Loreal Voluminous
Revlon colorstay lipstick in Sheer Watermelon

One more face pic plus the purchases and NOTD after the jump :)

I promise I'm not dead!

Lol.  So long since I've last posted, but like I said, I was busy busy busy.  I have also been getting more hours at one of my jobs so that didn't help matters.  So the wedding was wonderful! There were a few glitches but nothing major.  I was afraid that either me or my sister (the bride) would have a major rant moment somewhere in there about something trivial because of stress but she was super calm the whole time which I think set the tone for everyone else.  It was hilarious, at one point while getting ready she said "Guys, it feels like I'm getting married..." and we're like..."uh, you are.."

Not much makeup-specific pictures because I was rushed with that aspect.  I spent my time on her makeup which makes her look like she's not wearing anything really and then barely had time to do my own let alone the maid of honour's (she asked me like as I was doing mine if I would do her eyes).  But everyone looked fabulous so it's all good.

An Apology FOTD + New Frames!

Ugh, I have been a busy bee lately and have neglected my blog.  My little sister has finally moved back home and now it's feeling really super busy because her wedding is next weekend (the 18th of June).  There's a bunch of stuff I have to do for it still and its all so hectic.  We hosted a bridal shower for her this past Sunday and it was difficult but fun. My sister is the black sheep of the family, so to speak.  What I mean by that is that she's weird and super social and has loads of friends and keeps in touch with everyone and everyone loves her.  The rest of my family is on the shy/quiet side and don't particularly enjoy big gatherings.  I did quite well though...I was kinda in charge so I had to explain the games and everything and I have grown so much from my former shy self because of my schooling and just working with new people almost on a daily basis that I got through it fine.  Heh. 

Anyway, onto the FOTD! I have been doing boring looks lately with just eyeliner or just mascara even so I though I would go for a bright look for summer.  Urban Decay's Deluxe e/s in Graffiti is just what I was looking for in this look.  It's so awesome.

My Nail Polish Collection (Thus Far)

So I was thinking about doing this for a while, but never got around to it.  I kinda was going to do it alongside my makeup collection post, but that never happened lol.  So when I saw Leah do this, I was reminded of it and since I have the weekend off and nothing to do...haha, I thought I'd go for it! 

Here's how I store them.  They're all just jumbled into a basket on my bottom shelf near my desk for easy access.

Time for some Blog Lovin'

NOTD: Emerald City

I started out today trying to do a gradient nail effect from yellow to red.  That turned out horrible, so I just started over again and grabbed the nearest colour which happened to be this lovely green by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.  I am glad I did because I love the colour.  It took 2 thicker coats or 3 thin coats to get the shade I desired (2 on the thumbs for some reason I got more on the brush for them).  I think I shall do my poor naked toenails in this shade as well.

My tips to beat the heat.

So we in Ontario have been having a crazy weather May.  The average temp for May is usually low to mid twenties.  Today the high was low thirties with a humidex of mid thirties.  It's crazy hot.  They say this will pass and get back to more seasonal levels soon, but if this is a taste of summer, it's gonna be a scorcher!
