Canucks Game 7 Makeup

Hey all.
I missed a game 6 look, too busy :( But I am really pleased with this one.
I wanted a really grungy, messy look. All the others were so clean and nicely blended and such...this look is very dirty... I like it.

Canucks Game 5 Makeup


I feel like this ended it up looking a little '90's ghetto. What with the dark lip, defined eyebrows, and Canucks tuque:

This look really makes you take your brows into account. Which I am not happy with at the moment.
I think out of my entire routine, my brows are the feature that I struggle with the most. Even though they are the most important.

Canucks Game 3 Makeup

A pinup inspired white cut crease with blue and green;


I am really happy with this look, although it is appearing really blue in the pictures..it is more defined in real life. This was my first cut crease!


I knew I wanted to use a matte white for this look but I really didn't want to go buy a bunch of highend makeup. I went to the drugstore and started swatching whites, I ended up buying one from NYC, because it was the best I could find, but when I got home I knew it wouldn't work for this look.












 THEN, I remembered Wet n Wild! I rushed out and bought their Pride palette and not only does it have a fantastic matte white, but it has greens and blues I can use for this series too. They should rename it Canucks Pride palette. ;)

I like the makeup brush hair I have stuck to my face, adds a little something extra ya know?

Canucks Game 2 Makeup

Here is the second look for the Stanley Cup finals:




 Okay these lashes are insane!!
Up close they look like classic drag queen falsies. Huge and obvious, definately not very wearable. After I put them on, I regretted it. I felt like they ruined the look, even though it is meant to be fun.


















BUT, they photograph amazing!!! Is it just me or what?? They don't look as silly and infact they give a more sexy, dreamy, pinup look. I am dumbfounded. These lashes will require more thought and perhaps more use (for photographic purposes of course)

Revlon - Copper Penny

I just painted my nails with this colour and I have to say, LOVE IT!

Ummmm..... a little messy


Copper Penny is amazing, it looks exactly as is it does in the jar. The formulation is amazing, not too runny, not too thick, no streaks. You can get away with only one coat of polish too, it is that good.

Colour checks out

They had 2 other colours, a gold and a silver...I might have to check them out..

Looking for MAC's Club dupe in Canada?

If you are disappointed that Wet'n'Wild aren't (or haven't yet) selling their Comfort Zone pallete in Canada, and are lusting after the MAC Club eyeshadow dupe that everyone has been going on about, don't fret.



The same colour can be found in the Limited Edition Night Elf palette, (I bought mine at Zellar's).
