I love a purple lip and I've found a really beautiful, wearable shade that feels chic and glam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always line your lips when wearing a bold lip colour to stop feathering and create a clean, crisp outline. For a dimensional look, line your lips with a slightly darker colour concentrated on the outer corners of the mouth.</div>

Add glitter all over the lid by painting it on using a liquid glitter liner. The adhesive is already built in, there won't be any fall-out, and you'll have precise control of application!</div>

I'm so sorry it's been a month since my last posting but on top of the business of the holiday season... I just bought my first home! I've never moved or lived on my own before so needless to say this has been an overwhelming and rather long process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I'm feeling <i>slightly</i> more settled... I'm happy to get back into the swing of things with blogging :).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on to the real reason we're all here... I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the new Nars Spring 2014 Collection this week. I was only able to snap pictures quickly so here they are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out la piece de resistance... the NARSissist palette. Fifteen beautiful neutral eyeshadows straight from the core collection of Nars single and duo shadows in matte, satin, and shimmer finishes!</div>

I'm dying over the palette and I'm sure you guys are too. Nars has never launched a palette of this size so I know it's going to fly off the shelves when it arrives!</div>

Before the year runs out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A light colour on the lid, mid tone through the crease, and natural defining eyeliner is a classic go-to shape when paired with neutrals. For a trendy take on a classic, I used the same flattering shapes with a fun pop of colour!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the eye appear more open, keep the inner corner light with an irridescent shadow and bracket your eyeliner on the outer corners of the eye only!</div>

<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lightly filling in your brows with a pencil or powder will keep a dramatic makeup like this looking grounded and polished. Without the brow grooming the makeup is noticeably incomplete and can start to look messy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Every product included in this set is a hit and a steal at this price! Lip Conditioner and Beauty Elixer have been long time favourites of mine and Divine Oil is accurately named as the luxurious texture and to-die-for scent is amazing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
These body creams not only smell <i>absolutely amazing</i> but they have the most amazing textures as well. They're super hydrating with shea butter and macadamia-nut oil and yet still fully absorb into the skin leaving no sticky residue. Definitely a must have!</div>

All of the Deborah Lippmann nail colours are infused with treatments like biotin and green tea and offer quick dry time and glossy finishes. I've recently fallen in love with the brand and adore this little set and it's full spectrum of colours! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
This palette is a staple in both my professional and personal kits. It includes 8 matte and 8 shimmer colours in flattering shades for everyone and for all occasions. The texture is velvety and the pigment is loaded; Lorac shadows are truly a pleasure to work with!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<i>"Another</i> Naked palette?" I thought, but this product is truly unique from all of the other neutral eyeshadow palettes out there. As always, UD shadows are smooth and pigmented but this particular set houses shadows that all have rosy undertones. The new pink-nude shades are so universally flattering to create soft (or daring) very feminine and womanly eye looks. Gorg!</div>

Only 1200 of these limited edition sets were produced and each come with an actual production number.

I recently stumbled upon this picture that was taken of me in the beginning of the year and couldn't help but feel inspired to whip out this gorgeous lip combination again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Sephora Collection Retractable Lip Liner in 'Sangria' (deep berry red)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in 'Carthage' (hot pink with warm undertones)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This long lasting combination is surprisingly comfortable for a waterproof/matte lip because of the mango butter and Vitamin E that the Nars Pure Matte Lipsticks have to offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Carthage' is one of my <i>favourite</i> hot pink lipsticks because it strays from the typical blue base that bright pinks are often formulated with and truly warms and enhances your complexion.<br />

Pairing these two products together creates a bright candy colour that's not quite red and not quite pink but completely flattering and makes your complexion glow!</div>

Simple accessories really complete a look. For my pumpkin leaf headband I cut off a piece of a fake plant I had at home that has wire vines. It was easy to manipulate into a halo shape and helped pull the makeup together.</div>

Dot lash glue where you want your jewels to be and then pick up your rhinestones with ease by dipping a cotton bud in water and then touching the jewel. Because the glue is sticky you can press the rhinestone right on with the q-tip!</div>

<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leopard spots aren't perfectly symmetrical and come in lots of shapes and sizes. As long as all of your spots are headed toward the same focal point (the centre of the face) your design will always have a cohesive flow!</div>

I saw an image on Pinterest of someone dressed up as a silent film star and thought it was a really cool idea so I gave it a go for my Halloween costume on Saturday night. I wanted it to look like i just stepped out of a black and white film and I'm really pleased with how it turned out!</div>

For the make up I mixed a black and white cream to create my base and applied it all over my face and neck. I used a grey eye shadow to set it in place and then used black and grey eye shadows to do my eyes and contour. For the lips I used a dark grey eyeliner.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Guy Bourdin's colour-saturated photography insinuated a high-fashion world of dangerous women and sexually charged fashion photography of the 70's. Nars pays homage to Bourdin's seductive, suspenseful images with bold, uninhibited colour and high-impact finishes. </div>

If you know me, then it's no secret that I have a love affair with Nars Cosmetics - but I haven't been <i>this</i> excited for a collection in a long time. One of the coolest things about this collection is that all of the imagery is Guy Bourdin's original photography.</div>

The bright pops of colour are a rebellious take on your traditional holiday collection and the limited edition textures of the eye shadows and lip colours are to <i>die </i>for!! We're talking rich, velvety pigment in these shadows... nothing like what we've seen in Nars shadows before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can absolutely see myself scooping up Bad Behaviour (pewter grey), Rage (glowing purple), and Cambodia (strawberry copper). Plus I'm a sucker for a pink lip and I've definitely got my eye on lipsticks in Goodbye Emmanuelle (bright pink) and Last Tango (rosy nude).</div>

One of my <i>favourite</i> periods for makeup is the 1960's, where the eyes were big, the hair was bigger, and the complexion was flawlessly matte. Here I took inspiration from the beachy bombshells of the 60's and kept the look modern with glossy touches on the lips and cheeks.<br />
<br />
<i>Pro Tip</i><br />
Use a thick eyeliner brush and light shadow to map out your shape before committing to a strong cut crease. When you're happy with the placement and symmetry, build the intensity of your colour slowly by using consistent pressure and small strokes. </div>

I really love the dimension that "bracketing" your eyeshadow gives. The touch of light in the centre of the eye really makes the eyes pop and sparkle when wearing a sultry smokey eye. And what better way to do it than in my favourite Fall shadow colour? <i>Navy!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dark matte colours can be tricky to blend and have some fall down. Take your time building colour and try doing your eye makeup before foundation for easy clean up. Ensure you have a great concealer to keep the under eyes looking fresh and bright!</div>

On Monday evening I met a Make Up Artist who has been one of the biggest inspirations in my journey through artistry. Her body of work is absolutely breathtaking and her instinctual knack for colour and placement is incredible. Meeting Alex Box was a dream of mine and I'm so excited to be able to share it with you guys.</div>

Powder was smoking in the air and brushes were gliding all over. I watched Alex dig into Powder Eyeshadow with the blunt end of her brush to create a loose pigment and press it into the skin with exceptional prowess. It was <i>so</i> incredible to watch her work.</div>

Purple is one of my favourite colours to work with because it looks good on <i>everyone!</i> In this monochromatic look I used one of my favourite purple eyeshadows (Make Up For Ever #09) on my eyes, brows, and cheeks and gave the look dimension with complimentary cool toned pinks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a fluffy crease brush, lightly apply your blush along the edge of your eyeshadow to create a cohesive look with a perfectly blended gradient from brow bone to crease colour! This tip works no matter what eyeshadow colour you're wearing.</div>

I absolutely <i>love</i> berry lips for Fall - especially when they're perfectly paired with a set of fluttery flasies!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Pro Tip</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carefully outline your lipstick with concealer as a finishing touch to achieve a sharp, crisp line when wearing bold lip colours!</div>

As the Fall season quickly approaches I've found myself completely obsessed with <i>navy </i>shadow and really enjoyed combining it with two of my other favourite things for this look - graphic lines and glitter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This look was just for fun and was a great practice for my line work, blending, and symmetry!</div>

I love this colour because it's incredibly flattering on all eye colours and skin tones. It's also the type of colour that is really easy to wear if you want a bit of a pop but to still feel somewhat neutral. Enjoy!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1</b> Apply liquid foundation all over and let it naturally work into the skin. We will come back to it later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2</b> Smooth eyeshadow primer all over the lid, and press an emerald green eyeshadow from the lash line to the crease. Wrap the emerald eyeshadow around the outer corner of the eye and along the lower lash line, stopping three quarters of the way in.</div>
<br />
<b>3</b> Apply a cool toned, shimmery highlight shadow on the inner corners of the eye.<br />
<b>4</b> Rim the upper and lower water line (inside the eye) with a black pencil. Be sure to smudge the pencil into the lash roots.<br />
<b>5</b> Use a matte black eyeshadow to smoke out the upper lash line, gradually thickening the line towards the outer corners. Do the same for the outer corner of the lower lashes, keeping close to the lash line.<br />
<b>6</b> Gently run a warm pink colour (in this case I used a blush) along the edge of the green eyeshadow where it stops and meets the crease. This aids in a more natural gradation and blend between the eyeshadow and the natural skin tone. It also adds depth, dimension, and interest to the look.<br />
<b>7</b> Apply concealer under the eyes to tidy up any shadow that has fallen, and to clean up the shape. Set with powder.<br />
<b>8</b> Generously coat the upper and lower lashes with black mascara.<br />
<b>9</b> Apply a punchy pink blush far back on the cheek bones, slightly blending onto the apple of the cheek. Pink plays exceptionally well greens, so keeping the blush closer to the shadow is very complimentary and ties the whole look together.<br />
<b>10</b> Finish with a swipe of light pink gloss or lipstick.<br />

I wanted to through out a quick post dedicated to all of my favourite skin care products during the weary winter weather. So... let's talk skin care!</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Gc4-tZ_spn4y2DRiJlHRBccQ9zFX8HRA5K6ASdF-c8sqgHmODQziln_q11M4Bb0_yFr2tOc2DMUBbtuuyJM6zVB9xkOTMg6o5cluErQhhr7R_47aY519mlTWYoYGT08hGERSJ7x6yAML/s1600/skin-care-tips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Gc4-tZ_spn4y2DRiJlHRBccQ9zFX8HRA5K6ASdF-c8sqgHmODQziln_q11M4Bb0_yFr2tOc2DMUBbtuuyJM6zVB9xkOTMg6o5cluErQhhr7R_47aY519mlTWYoYGT08hGERSJ7x6yAML/s200/skin-care-tips.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cleansing the skin is a key factor in overall skin health and some of my favourite dirt and oil busters include <b>Fresh's Soy Face Cleanser</b>, <b>Korres' <i>n</i></b><b><i>ew </i>Wild Rose Brightening and Refining Buff Cleanser</b>, <b>Ole Henriksen On The Go Cleanser</b>, and <b>Caudalie's Instant Foaming Cleanser</b>! All of these face washes are great for all skin types (including sensitive) and gently break down dirt, oil, and makeup on the face and eyes! They're non irritating and non drying! The Korres cleanser has tiny beads that lightly exfoliate the skin... avoid contact with eyes.</div>
<div>
<br />
Exfoliating the skin means brighter, smoother, softer skin that will allow all of your other products to penetrate deeper, and sit nicer on the skin. So remember to include this step in your routine 2-3 times a week to rid any dull and flaky surface texture! I love <b>Fresh's Sugar Face Polish</b>, and <b>Ole Henriksen's Walnut Complexion Scrub</b>. The bonus with Sugar Face Polish is that it doubles as a hydrating mask!<br />

<br />
Prepping the skin is an essential part of all skincare routines and some of my favourite toner comes from Clarins! The<b> Clarins Toning Lotion</b> is alcohol free, soothing and moisturizing and has an incredible gel like texture. I also love the calming, hydrating, and refreshing feel of the <b>Caudalie Grape Water Spray</b> who's only ingredient is pure grape fruit water!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
For treating the skin, it really depends on individual skincare concerns. One staple I think everyone can benefit from is the <b>Dior One Essential Serum </b>which actively eliminates toxins in the skin to boost your other skincare items efficacy. Think luminous, smoother, healthier skin! For those pesky breakouts that pop up I love the <b>Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment</b> which uses Sulpher, Salicylic, and Magnesium, and to pack a punch in hydration I always reach for the <b>Origins Drink Up Hydrating Mask</b>!</div>
<div>

<br />
Keeping the skin hydrated, protected, and balanced is a vital step in every skincare routine, and some of my favourite moisturizers include <b>Fresh's Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream</b>, <b>Clarin's Multi-Active Day Cream</b>, <b>Korres Wild Rose Sleeping Facial</b>, <b>Origins High Potency Nightamins</b>, and <b>Tarte's Maracuja Oil</b>. All of these moisturizers are packed full of antioxidants that thoroughly hydrate the skin and protect it from environmental damage and aging. For those of us in our 20's and early 30's, these babies are right up our ally! All skin types can use these products, though oily skins should be weary of the night creams.</div>

My favourite eye creams are <b>Benefit It's Potent!</b> for age prevention and brightening, and <b>Algenist's Eye Contour Balm</b> for anti aging and an amazingly smooth texture that's a dream to use under makeup!</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the products I mentioned are products that I've used and loved and are general options that work for most skin types and concerns. Please take them in with a grain of salt and properly assess what your skincare needs are are go from there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope you're all staying hydrated and protected this winter!</div>

I've been wearing my glasses a lot lately for one reason or another and thought that many people would really benefit from a fun post dedicated strictly to us visually impared!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Determining what style of eyeshadow you should wear really depends on your type of glasses.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are <b>farsighted</b> and your glasses tend to magnify your eyes, opt for darker, smokier looks which will make your eyes appear smaller. Experiment with matte shadows in deeper tones that will define your eyes and not amplify them. Feel free to play with colour in jewel tones like emeralds, navy's, and plums, and keep the colour close to the lash line. Tight line inside the eyes with dark kohl pencils. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
If you are <b>nearsighted</b> and your glasses tend to hide your eyes and make them look smaller, choose light, bright shadows that will make your eyes appear larger. Experiment with eyeliner to define the eyes so that they don't get lost behind your lenses, and a light shimmery shadow on the inner corners of the eyes to open them up. Enjoy light iridescent colours like lavender, bone, and pale blues and greens. Use flesh toned pencils on the inside of the eye for a wide eyed effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
No matter what your style of glasses, always remember to use a brightening concealer under the eyes in case of any shadows your frames may cast on the face. Always add definition to your lashes, and always have well groomed, well defined brows! Your eye brows frame your frames and are really important for glasses wearers.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Know that these are just guidelines, and that people that wear glasses can wear any eyeshadow look they want! Always have fun with your makeup and your glasses and play up those beautiful eyes!</div>

<b>1</b> Start by applying foundation all over, concealer in areas of concern, and setting with a translucent powder.<br />
<b>2</b> Apply a light blue shadow all over the lid and into the crease. Make sure to bring the colour up high enough to be seen when the eye is open. Bring this blue shadow tight against the outer corners of the lower lash lines.<br />
<b>3</b> Densely press a blue glitter all over the lid from the lash line to the crease. Soften the edge by blending through the crease with whatever blue shadow is left on our brush.<br />
<b>4</b> Apply a white eyeliner to the inner corners of the eye and press an iridescent duo chrome white/blue shadow on top.<br />
<b>5</b> Line the top lash line with a black liquid liner and apply a light coat of mascara.<br />
<b>6 </b>Rim the inside of the eye with a light, flesh toned pencil for a wide eyed appearance.<br />
<b>7</b> Apply long wispy lashes to the upper lash line and shorter wispy half lashes to the outer corners of the lower lash line.<br />
<b>8</b> Create a 3D blush effect by applying a hot pink shadow in a round shape to the apples of the cheek and then a light frosty pink shadow around the edges. This will give a natural and soft gradation.<br />
<b>9</b> Use a brown eyeliner pencil to dot freckles of varying sizes onto the cheeks.<br />
<b>10</b> Finish with a bubble gum pink lip colour!<br />

Here's a Halloween face paint I did on myself last week! It's inspired by monsters and dinosaurs!</div>

<b>1</b> Using a white eyeliner plot your basic shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2</b> Sponge a yellow face paint onto the high points of the face (forehead, nose, and cheekbones) and a green face paint around the edges, sides of the nose, and around the eyes. Use a white face paint to fill in the talons/horns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3 </b>To even out the colour and add shading and depth, go over the face paint with matte eyeshadows in complimentary shades of green and yellow. I used a black shadow and a blending brush to further define around the horns, contours, and eye area, including bags under the eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4</b> Use a black face paint to loosely outline the design. Use quick and fluid brush strokes to achieve clean lines. Define the brow bone, line the eyes, add gnarly nostrils, and add detail and interest with lines and dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>5</b> Highlight and add further detail with a white paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>6</b> If you choose to, you may now add a light foundation to the exposed skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>7 </b>Press an irridescent glitter on the tops of the cheekbones and on all of the horns. Be strategic with your glitter placement to compliment the makeup, not overwhelm it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>8</b> I finished with a yummy smelling lip balm to keep my lips looking hydrated and fresh!</div>
