Chromaline


These look sooooo awesome!
Although i'm unsure as to why MAC is calling them chromaline and not just the original "fluidline"... are they not the same formula?
Nonetheless... the colours are so vibrant and i'm looking forward to getting the blue, green and purple!! ^_^

Only available at mac pro locations
(Queens st. W for toronto)

Homecoming


so I posted my first (two) videos yesterday on Youtube since my hiatus back 3 months ago. I am so glad and excited to be back!! it was definitely a stress reliever before my slew of exams that are very quickly approaching!

I realized i actually forgot quite a few items in my 'collective haul'.. but that's ok... more videos to come!! =)

In the meantime, you guys should check out Bobbi Brown's new book "Bobbi Brown Make Up Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro" (released yesterday).

I know i'll be picking up a copy when i get the chance. Will you?

go check it out at Chapters.indigo.ca

Review: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Collection

-Bronze 10L (metallic bronze)
- Purple 11L (metallic purple)
- Turquoise 7L (light turquiose sheen)
- Mat Black 0L (black)
- Iridescent Navy Blue 3L (navy blue sheen)

The set of MUFE Aqua Eyes Collection is available at Sephora for $35USD/$38CAD.

I love this set of eyeliner pencils. I'm not a pencil user (I prefer gel liners a la fluidline), because I have extremely oily lids and pencil liners smudge like mad on me. These did not budge AT ALL. I was amazed. They are creamy and emolient enough to just glide on, and once set, they will not budge until you take them off.
Bonus: If you work with it before it sets, you can use it as an eyeshadow or create a smokey look by smudging it -- but work fast -- once set, again... it will not budge!

Tip of the Day/Week

So i picked up the Cosmo's Sexiest Beauty Secrets book when it first came out and it's suddenly gotten a lot of exposure thanks to pursebuzz (of course).
So I figure I'd share the information in it with you guys. I haven't decided whether to post it once a day or once a week.. i suppose once a week will make this book last longer =P

With that said...
This week's tip comes from the hair section:

Major Mane Booster
Chopsticks have a hidden use: They can give your hair loads of volume. Right after blow-drying, while your hair is still warm, twist it into a bun and slip the sticks through, says NYC salon owner Ted Gibson. Remove the sticks when your tresses have cooled and voila -- beautiful body.

Here's a video on how to twist your hair up with chopsticks:

I can't breathe...

omg.. MUST save up for this!! AAHHH!! So excited!!

Beauty

Hi Everyone!

I've had this blog for a while but never used it as I have been using another one for a while now and I find that blogspot is confusing to use. But I decided to officially use this one as my "beauty blog" in conjunction with my youtube videos. Here you will find moe detailed reviews and hauls. I haven't decided completely what i'm going to do with this space... (again.. i am unfamiliar with how to use this site)... but if you could just bare with me... I appreciate all of ur patience =)

Cheers,

Sanderlees
