Quick Break!
Hi everyone! I'm going to be taking this week off. It's my 7th wedding anniversary, so my hubby and I are having a "stay-cation" and are taking the week off of work. We're planning day trips all around the Seattle area and because of my time off, I won't have the time (or motivation!) to give you all daily updates.I'll be back on Monday, November 1st with plenty of new content.

SOLID GLITTER Glittery Accent Nails
Chanel Particuliere nail polish/ MAC Glitter in Reflects Antiqued GoldSo I've decided to officially jump on the one-glitter-nail bandwagon. Problem with this for me in the past is that if I wanted an "accent" glittered nail, I wanted it to be mega, super, ridiculously glittery. If you've ever searched for a nail polish to do that with, you feel my frustration. To get that solid, super ridic

Tiffany's Flawless & Natural Foundation Routine
Where makeup is concerned, getting your foundation "right" is possibly the most important thing to master. I find the most difficult task (other than finding your correct shade which is a totally different story...) is finding a good combination of products that gives great coverage, yet looks natural. These are the products that do exactly that for me. Check out the video below to see how I
I Know It's Early, But...
Halloween hasn't even come yet, but already I'm getting info about holiday collections, stocking stuffer ideas, etc. I know, I know...it's too early for this!

The eyes reveal everything. They aren't just the windows to your soul. Your eyes reveal how late you were up the night before and whether it's time for some Botox. And when it comes to your makeup, it's a daily struggle figuring out how to make your morning eyeshadow look as fabulous at the end of the day. All your eye woes have been answered! A few months ago I attended the blogger launch of

Beetlewing
Bored with the dreary sunday weather, I decided to get the minerals out again and found the perfect colour to match the day: "Gloomy Sunday" by Archetype :) Inspired by the purple and green iridescence of a beetle's wing (and the Archetype colour of the same name), I created this rather subtle look and added a little pattern of pure white rhinestones for some extra sparkle:Product ListMAC Bare

How to Wear It: Matte Lipstick
Matte lips, from NARS (for Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2011)Matte Lipstick has been a big beauty trend for a while now. And for good reason: super shiny (and super sticky!) lips can look a bit too...much at times. Too much gloss has a tendency to look juvenile at best, cheap and oddly "blow-up doll" at worst. Matte lipsticks provide a nice alternative. They give color without distracting shine,

How sexy is this shot? It's a little naughty, a little suggestive, and makes me want to get with this lipstick. Before I get into my review of YSL's Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks, I just want to share a few of the campaign shots. I love receiving their press releases because it's so well presented. The images are all worthy to hang on my wall!Who doesn't love lipstick art?If you love anything YSL

Fall Must-Have: Little Black Liquid Liner
Love this look! Louis Vuitton 2007Liquid liner has been lingering for a few seasons and this Fall is no different. From plum, to navy, to classic black liquid liner is the way to make a beauty statement. Just like an LBD, liquid liner can be worn so many ways. Wing it out, keep it subtle, or make it dramatic with a sexy kitty-cat eye. Liquid liner is one of those beauty products most women shy

Go to Beautiful Lengths for BCA
Women with breast cancer typically undergo chemotherapy to try to save their lives. But did you know that 58% of women consider hair loss to be the worst side effect of chemotherapy? In fact, 8% of these women will potentially avoid life-saving treatment altogether due to this hair loss fear. Wow--that seems a little crazy to me, but it's darn near impossible to say what you are and are not

Streak of Gold
I'm back! I had a lovely week in Montpellier and enjoyed some sunshine before winter starts and it gets really cold... This was just one of those looks where I started out without even a trace of a concept, just dipping my brush into a random colour and do whatever fancy strikes me. I started with vivid matte blue in the outer corners, continuing into a lighter shade and finishing with Lime Crime

An Ounce of Prevention
Did you know that nearly 70% of all breast cancers are found through a breast self exam? That's pretty amazing, since early detection can mean a 5-year survival rate of 98%. That's incredible!So here's my question for you: are you doing monthly breast self exams? I try to remember to do this monthly, but to be perfectly honest, I sometimes forget. The best thing to do is to preform a self

Fall Trend 2010: Zoya Cheryl
The colour brown can sometimes get a bad rap for being "boring". Zoya's Cheryl ($7 USD) from the Fall Wicked collection is anything but! I instantly fell in love with this rich, jeweled, smokey brown. It's a shade I definitely don't have in my nail polish stash. I love the mix of brown, copper and gold shimmer. It's one of the decadent shades just perfect for Fall!Taken the morning after

Fall Trend 2010: Zoya Kelly
Meet the new black. Kelly is a deep grey shade with undertones of purple and blue. Sometimes a straight black shade can seem boring and and a little harsh against some skin tones. If you're in a gothic mood but don't want to go halloween-black, Kelly is a nice alternative. Although, I didn't love it or hate it against my skin tone. It was just alright for me. However, on fair-skinned beauties it
