Penelope Cruz Inspired Makeup Look

Hi guys, so today I eventually decided to try out the makeup look that Penelope Cruz had on on the Nespresso commercial made years ago, everytime  I saw that commercial I always like looking at her eyes trying to figure out the right shades of color and how the look was created , I know that my attempt at it wasn't even close to it but...hey....it was worth a shot... I now know that I should've used a darker color for the winged part instead of Crave from Urban Decay. I think if I had used a black eye shadow the look would've probably look more like it....anyway next time....so I guess you can call this look another makeup look....anyway enjoy what I have posted until I decide if to redeem myself or just leave it as it is.....anyway.....until my next blog......

No Makeup Makeup Look

Hi guys, so this does look like a lot of products was used just to accomplish a no makeup makeup look but doing a no makeup makeup look for me is a bit tricky, only because as you saw in my video I do have some really dark under eye circle, so in order for me to hide those I obviously have to use my concealer which do seem like using unnecessary products but I wanted a really smooth, flawless look without having those dark circle showing. I wouldn't recommend using the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder under your eye area only because it settles into fine lines and wrinkles and makes them even more noticeable so for that I used my concealer and I would also skip the setting powder when using the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder because when blended into the skin you get a nice powdered and mattifying finish. As I mentioned in the description bar on my video using a face highlighter is totally optional...I just love my Luminous Lighting Powder. Anyway here's some photos of all the products and a list of the brushes used, and I do hope you enjoy my blog and my video.....until my next blog......

Detailed Sweater

Hi guys, as I mentioned in my introduction blog when the weather is getting cold or when winter is actually here my fashion blog will be to a minimum only because my attire is mostly black or grey or just not enough colors....you know what I mean....this cold weather just makes everything in your life so down ..... you don't feel like going out because it's cold.....but yet still five days a week I have to get up and head out....cold or not, but I certainly can't let that keep me back or affect my everyday life living in Canada, I guess I have to get used to it, so today I had a planned outing with my kids, went shopping  to one of my favorite stores....Sephora....I had to get my share of the VIB 20% off. I had my eyes on a lot of stuff so I was waiting patiently for the sale to start, and I did get my hands on all the stuff I wanted and more except for one which was all sold out....can't believe how beauty crazy people are....haha.....but then again so am I.I guess you can say I eat, sleep and dream about makeup, but that's ok it's just my hobby, I love playing with makeup and trying out new beauty products....so before this blog gets a bit lengthy and senseless let me just get right to it.....this is my outfit that I wore today, not like it's all that or anything, but just had to share....and mind you it was cold out and I braced the cold just to get a photo of my outfit including the shoes this time...anyway hope you guys enjoy.....until my next blog....


as I mentioned in one of my summer fashion blog I just love details
and this sweater had all of that ....

so here I'm acting as if I'm not cold at all
