Halloween: Insane Nurse.

So this was completely unintentional. I was just testing out a new foundation brush and lipliner and I may have gotten a litttttle carried away. Just a tad. Final thought on it is that I keep seeing all these sexy generic outfits year after year and am also guilty of owning a few. But really isn't halloween about some originality and a little gore? It's the time of year to go a little insane and experiment with makeup that any other time of year (except for me, I have fun with it all year long!) you wouldnt go near unless you had a costume party of some sort (which seem to happen seldom in Canada, as far as I know anyways!)
So go ahead, gut a little insanely sexy. or just insane, that's ok too.

Halloween: Devilish Demon-ette.

Now this was FUN, but it was a difficult challenge to wash off I must say! Changing your skin color is always a kool experience, really changes your perspective. And hey who wouldn't want to be an awesome demon-satan-like creature for a day :P

Halloween: ZZZZOOOOOMMMBIIIEEEE

ZZZOOOMMMBIIEEE.... OUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH *pulls off leg of coworker* NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMMMMM.*crack* SLURPSLURRRPPPP NOMNOMNOMM

I had to :) This was soooo funnnn! I finally dipped my toe into the world of prosthetics and its amazing what you can do with a few household items (industry secrettt :P) What's halloween without a little blood and gore?

Halloween: Greeeeen SKULLLLLL!

So this one is kinda out of the ordinary in relation to the other stuff I've posted here. It's crazyness really!

Halloween! So many animallllss RAWRRR

I am a self declared animal print lover. I like on my walls, on my floors, on my clothes annnnd on my face! Halloween is such a great time to let that animal within out, and why not do it looking amaaazzinnng! Of course, while were doing that, might as well do it a little unconventionally too.

The Zebra look I did just last night. The leopard look was my Halloween costume of choice last year and the giraffe was just some fun I had last year on a study break. These looks are absolutely translatable to any animal, be it bunny, cat, tigerrr, lion, whatever!

On the plus side, doing an animal costume is fun and easy, as well as low cost! Most (girls) have some piece of clothing that portrays the animal within and this paired with some awesome makeup and maybe some ears and a tail.. VOILA, instant costume! Also helps when you've got a weekend of parties and dont want to wear the same look every night :)

More Halloween looks coming soon!!

Superhero Series: Wonder Woman!

I must admit, I felt pretty bad-ass with this one.  A great look for Halloween too! 

Pretty fun to accomplish as well, but you really do need a stable hand for the liquid liner, the eyelash application, the star on the "crown" and the lips. Practice is the onlyyy way that you'll achieve a stable hand!

And hey, if you want me to do it for you, I'm going to be available for halloween looks :)

Till the next time!

Annnnnnnd we're back!

So yes. That was quite a long time to be "away"... Alot of things have happened since my last blog! But no excuses noww. I'll be posting some looks again soon.

I thought I'd get back on the wagon with a few discoveries of mine over the pas month :)

First off: a website that sells exclusively vegan AND fruit pigmented makeup that used NO fillers or additives called https://www.100percentpure.ca/default.asp . I haven't been able to order from them yet, since I'm not in Canada at the moment but it's definitely on my list of things to do once I get back. It's been recommended and being used by the founder of 30bananasaday.com, a forum site that I am a member of.

Next on the list is something that I've been using for quite a while, pure cold pressed organic coconut oil. I've never used anything that works better on dry skin, chapped lips and dry hair. It's a cheap much more useful and healthy alternative to conventional products that are filled with chemicals and toxins. One other thing that I use occasionally is organic cold pressed argan oil that also works wonders on skin and hair, it's also usually much more expensive than coconut oil and is more of a once in a while treatment type of product than a daily use one. And hey, if you don't have access to either of those, avocado and papaya work wonders on skin and hair as well, just a tad bit more messy, but a ton of fun to do!

I've discovered that the less products you use, and the closer that the ones that you do use are to nature the more balanced and happy your skin becomes. The push for all these creams and elixirs containing extract of this and that is ridiculous, why not use the source, pure and nourishing instead of its pale imitation that has been manipulated beyond recognition?
