I've been searching for the perfect purple lipstick for YEARS. I don't want any of this pink-purple business, I'm looking for something more on the violet side. I have Violetta and Lavender Whip already, and they both look pretty pink on me. Fetish by Illamasqua looks promising, but I can't get...

Bahahhaa okay so I thought today was my first day at MAC so I got up like 2 hours early to do my hair all nice and do a kick-ass job of my make-up to be all impressive and stuff. But apparently I misheard and it's next Friday . Except now it's changed to Thursday? Anywho, I basically looked like...

My lipstick collection is severely lacking in the bold/deep colours department. I wanna pick up a nice red, but MAC has quite a few and I wanna make sure I'm getting the right one. I really love the lipstick Angelina Jolie is wearing on this cover of Vanity Fair...

Hi! I'm making my way over to Sephora this weekend (since I move around, the closest one at this time of the year is a few hours away for me), and this new Tricks of the Trade collection has caught my interest. I saw it in their e-mail newsletter last week, and for those who don't know what I'm...

I'm heading over to the MAC Pro in Toronto this weekend (which I've never been to, I think it's my first time to a Pro store too) and I've been saving up MAC gift certificates for months! I actually already have a buttload of make-up, but the one thing I do NOT have is blush. I have two, one is...

Hi guys and dolls Okay, so if you've seen any of my FOTDs on the FOTD board, you know I frequently whine and complain about my lack of an eye crease. I have a foldy-thing, but when I close my eyes, my lids are like...extremely flat and there's not even a hint of a crease. I soon realized that...

Hi ladies! Okay, I'm going to get right to it without my usual prattling on and on, because I made a tutorial for this look and I want to hurry up and post it! I'll add the link to this post once it's finished. Thanks for looking! EDIT: Tutorial has been posted here...

Okay, I couldn't think of a good title for this and I was hoping the promise of free something (especially BEER) would lure you in. The title was originally all capitals but apparently that's forbidden around these parts. ...there's seriously no beer though...besides, I'm in University, if...

So today I decided to play with my make-up, and I was like, "okay, do eenie-meenie-mynie-mo (or however the hell you spell that...you get it!) and pick your colours." BUT being the moron that I am, I did them one at a time instead of picking them all at once (so I could see before I even started...

Hey hey hey So I've had a pretty hectic month, which is why you haven't seen a whole lot of me lately. I had a month of exams that nearly killed me, plus at the same time, I had to deal with some housemates from hell. Once my exams were over, I had to move, since the lease on my house was...

Okay, I'm going to try to explain this as best I can, because I have no pictures of what I'm looking for. I'm searching desperately for a purple that is on the blue side. I have numerous red-purples, but I want something similar to Violet Trance or Parfait Amour. I can't get Violet Trance, and...

Hi hi! I got Night Violet a few weeks ago, and I've been dying to try it out! It's not exactly a day colour on my pasty white skin, so I've been waiting until we hit the town. But, being as cool as I am, my friends and I have had too much homework (and not enough money) to actually go out and...

Stupid sociology class...I HATE you!! This FOTD is from Tuesday and I just haven't gotten around to posting it. Hopefully I can remember what I used. Also, it was super SUPER glittery, which never seems to show up in pictures. This girl I sit with in class interrupted me once and was like, "I'm...

Okay, so this is yesterday's FOTD, and I realized that I was gonna miss my bus (if I didn't haul ass) about two seconds into my make-up doing. And I had already laid down the Pharoah Paint Pot, so I needed something quick! So I did this in about 10 minutes, and tries desperately to snap some...

Hello guys and dolls I just realized that I ALWAYS seem to play up my eyes when I go out on the town, so I've decided I need something crazy for my lips. I've decided that I want something purple, but I want something fairly dark, but I also don't want it to look like I'm wearing black...
