just playin around..............



Hello people!

I'm so glad it's friday again,cos i've had a very hectic week.

Here is a picture of me playing around with my Iman and Mac eye shadows last week.

I used the iman luxury eyeshadow( I so love Iman! Thank God for her) in emerald on the outer part of my lids and the mac sumptuous olive to line my eyes and all over my lids. I used my eyeliner brush to achieve that sharp mark.

Anyhoo! That's it for now..
Have a great weekend everyone.

Gosh cosmetics quattro eye shadow and cool lip jam




Hello people!

Introducing gosh cosmetics! I'm sure Gosh Cosmetics is not a well known cosmetic company in North America, although you can get their products here at some of the drug stores. It happens to be a Danish Company, and their prices are pretty reasonable too.

I fell in love with their products when i walked into a downtown Shoppers Drug Mart; I was particularly looking to buy a new mascara, because i was tired of the same old ones i had been buying.
Then my eyes caught the new make up stand they created and since then i had not looked back.

I purchased one of their numerous eyeshadows today and also the cool lip jam.i got the shadow in q23 goldfinger.

I wasn't particularly wowed by the shadows; i guess it's because i have gotten so used to the highly pigmented mac.

But i guess this particular one is supposed to give you that sheer and natural look. This shadow can be worn everyday,and to work.

Their cool lip jam is nice though and it has a candy like smell. The lip jam is more obvious in the first picture and the shadows in the second picture.

Their products can be purchased at Shoppers in Canada and i guess Sephora or Walgreens in the States.

welcome to my blog! The New Dame Edna Collection by MAC .








Happy new year to you all!

For those of you that love Mac cosmetics;they have a new collection called the Dame Edna collection. The name ringed a bell when i first saw it on their website, then I later remembered she had made a couple of appearances on The Jay Leno Show.

For those of you not in the know; she happens to be a comedienne or something of that sort from Britain.

Anyhoo....I purchased one of the eyeshadow palettes from the collection and it is actually awesome. I never thought it would look great on me.It is also my first time buying something from their collection and also buying a palette.

I used the royal tour all over, followed by the climate blue on my lids, then the dame's desire on my brow bones.

I particularly love this because you can achieve different looks with it and also the fact that it comes in a very beautiful lilac case. You can go to the mac website to get more information on how to get these looks.

The collection includes:

the royal tour eye trio(i got that)
wisteria eye trio
dame edna lipstick
dame edna lipglass
highlight powder
and a nail lacquer

You can purchase this collection at the departmental stores and the mac stores.

For those of you living in the cold city, manitoba, you can purchase it from hudson's bay and the mac stores as well.

Enjoy!

i don't know why the cases are not coming out opened.....sob sob sob....
