Rethinking the Wet n Wild Trios* (Spoiled Brat, I'm Getting Sunburned, Silent Treatment)

*Press Samples

After feeling sort of meh about Walking on Eggshells, I didn't explored the Wet n Wild trios further. I know they're all pretty good but I already had more than a few shadows in my stash so nothing screamed "Take me home".  But then I cracked open and swatched Silent Treatment and Vanessa can attest that I said "WOAH" outloud. Then it was sdownhill from there and a swatchfest began with the rest of the trios Wet n Wild sent to me last month. I have no resolve!!!

Clown Cheek Brush Options

*Press sample

A domed dense brush has become my go-to for cream blush application. They dip into the pan easily, pick up color well, and help me achieve an bright but still publicly appropriate clown cheek to whatever degree of public indecisency I want. Nothing quite like frightening the kiddies and yourself with those massive pink rounds...

Picks from Mary Kay's Holiday Releases*

*Press samples

Alright, another round of Mary Kay* release for this winter and the upcoming holiday season. Here are my picks for what's worth getting with a few surprises.

Colorred Eyebrows?

I've seen images of fun colored eyebrows before. The look is daring, alternative and NSFW. At the Inglot preview, an artist was coloring in a model's brows in true red and I was struck but how awesome it looked! I wanted to try and so I picked a dark teal to, not-so deftly, try my hands at coloring in my brows using a spoolie. Results as above.

The effect was...completely amateur and after a "uh, let's...get you touched up" remark from one of the SA's, I offered up my brows as tribute and had a proper lesson in how to do it right. Results as below.

5 Things

Sometimes I have a couple things on my mind I want to share but no real place to put it. So here are a few things cluttering up my brain lately.

1) This clever makeup Tutorial inspired by the Jian Ghomeshi story. So brilliant!

Made in Blog Awards

Hey guys,

Just a heads up that voting for the Made in Blog Awards has started and is on till Nov 26th.  

I understand. I understand. There are so many more deserving blogs out there that constantly BRING IT with side splitting humour, on point social commentary,  the promise of unicorns and images of food.  Everyone loves food and I can always lure you with food if you'd like...in fact, I would Oprah food to all of you if I could, but that would require even more Harry Potter magic than I currently possess. I'm not above bribery but I also don't believe in empty promises. 

Even contemplating that I'm the best beauty blog in Canada emits a good "BWAHAHAHAHAH!" (a surprisingly accurate portrayal of how I laugh) from my lips but I had the most amazing show of support last year with something like 5 votes. HUZZAH! That was four more than I expected since I'm also not above voting for myself just to get the ball rolling. 

Let's try and scale some new heights and see how I get on this year. 

If you'd like, you can vote for me, by clicking the button below. I'm not going to lie that I wouldn't appreciate it.

For the Beauty category: 

Hope your weekends are awesome.
