Tutorial Glitter M&M's - challenge

It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a tutorial/ seriously, it feels like it’s been ages!

January 2012 is over and done and after counting the votes for the readers make-up challenge the winner picture and theme were…

The M&M’s picture and Glitter theme

I wanted to do an extreme look, but the thing is I failed completely. I could not manage to get any extreme look.

After several attempts of priming, blending, removing, glitters, lipsticks, eyeliner….

I came with this creation. I use the colors of the M&M pictures and added the glitter to finish it off.

Check it out!  

Christmas Days: Look, Gifts & Haul

Christmas was near, Christmas was here and now it’s gone. The days just go so fast.

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and that you enjoyed every little second of it.

For me, I had a great Christmas along with my family. 

I had a blast opening gifts on Christmas Eve with my cousins and ate a delicious dinner. Seriously, it was super delicious that I ate things I normally don’t like. On Sunday, Christmas day I continued travelling to Maastricht to my other aunts and uncles. We had so much fun. 

Video: Smokey Eyes Tutorial

A couple of months ago I got the request to do a smokey eye tutorial on dark skin tone. I’ve been postponing this for I don’t know how long. I did made a tutorial then, but wasn’t that happy with the results.

After lots of applying, blending, wiping off and doing it all over again, I finally came out with two different smokey eye looks: a softer one and a dramatic one.

This next tutorial is of the dramatic one. For this look I’ve used my Sleek ‘Oh SoSpecial’ palette since I noticed that I never did any look or tutorial with this palette, which also is one of my favorite palettes.

The softer smokey eye tutorial will be uploaded at the end of this week.

Anyway, enough chit-chat. Here’s the tutorial! Enjoy!

Shopping: On MY way, Not on the highway!

Okay so again I just couldn’t resist. I couldn’t resist shopping again. And by shopping I mean online shopping. When I see the word ‘Sale’ I’m sold in one heartbeat *not every time though, but most of the time*.

Anyway, so this week I got a mail in my inbox from Cherry Culture. They’re holding their “NYX annual private sale” with 40% off on all NYX items!!!

I love NYX. They have great products with awesome results for less. And with this great deal they’re even less-er. So again, I just couldn't resist!

What did I buy? I started throwing a bunch of stuff in my ‘digital’ shopping bag, but at the end I checked these next items out.

* Matte Lipsticks – ‘Pure red’

* EyelinerBrush

* Professional Angle Liner Brush

* RoundLipstick – ‘Shiva’ & ‘Fusion’

* 138 – Flare Lash Medium

* Long Lip Pencil – ‘Cabaret’ & ‘Pink’

* Powder Blush – ‘Spice’

* SoftMatte Lip Cream – ‘Addisababa’ ‘Sao Paulo’ ‘Monte Carlo’

All of this would have retail for $58 but with the 40% discount I ended up paying $34.80 for all these products with $11.69 for shipping which sums to a total of $46.49.

Also an NYX-fan? You can also enjoy this great deal by using the code “NYX40”. Keep in mind that the more you buy, the more the shipping is going to cost. So shop wisely!

This deal ends on November 13^th midnight! Happy Shopping Ladies!

Kiss, Kiss & Love
