Sephora Haul!!!

As you may know, Sephora and Tokidoki just stopped their collaboration this year. (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) And they put all the makeup on sale. Me, having trouble with the website (stupid update!) I couldn't get the makeup palettes I wanted, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr So after some searching, I got the chance to put my hands on some products.

I present you the Lip gloss trio and the set of 3 brushes.



I'm happy, still wished I had the chance to snatch the London and Travel palettes.... Oh well!

Jewelery Challenge Day 1: Rules and why?

Why challenge myself to a jewelery challenge? Well, I recently had a jewelery haul and sometimes I rediscover jewels that I hid somewhere. I also have the impression that I'm always wearing the same things but with a 3 weeks rotation. SOOOO I decided to challenge my jewelery collection.

RULES

  1. The challenge only applies to earrings and necklaces. Bracelets, rings and watches are not considered in the challenge because for 1 bracelet, I have 200 earrings. (close to 200.......)
  2. I shall wear a different pair of earings and/or necklace everyday for as long as I can. If I wear something twice, I lose... nothing, but the fact I can't complete a challenge.
  3. I will document my days with the blog
  4. If I decide to wear one piece for only a short period of time, it still counts and I can't wear it anymore.
  5. Weekends do not escape the challenge
  6. If I don't wear jewelery one day, i'm still fine :)
  7. I'll try not to buy new jewelery....
  8. Wish me luck!
DAY 1: white Heart earings and silver/blue necklace

Got some Fame with Lady Gaga

AS you might have heard, the one and only Lady Gaga decided to lauch a perfum called Fame. When I first heard of it, she said that the fragrance would have blood and sperm in it... right, well it's typical GAGA! It is marketed as the first "Black Fragrance" Here is a quote from Coty:
 Gaga worked with fragrance giant Coty for the new scent which is being touted as the ‘ first-ever black perfume’ (it goes on clear). Featuring notes of belladonna, incense, saffron, honey, apricot nectar, crushed tiger orchid, and jasmine sambac – the scent promises to be as dark and complex as its muse. Fame – also dubbed ‘Black Fluid’ got its name, “It’s black, like the soul of fame” – according to the Mama Monster herself. She would know.
No blood or sperm here! I would like to try it, it intrigues me :) So want do you think? "The bizarre ad campaign is set for a September debut along with commercials and a three-minute film to promote the perfume. Fame’s egg-shaped bottle, which is embellished with a gold, claw-like cap, was designed in collaboration with fashion image-maker and Gaga fave collaborator, Nick Knight. “Lady Gaga conceived this egg idea back at the Grammy Awards where she came out of an egg, so it’s symbolic,” explained a source. "
The campaing for the scent is unusual also, here are some pictures and video:

Mascara reviews: Rimmel Volume flash The MAX

For my next review, I've tried Rimmel London's Volume Flash the MAX in waterproof.

What would we do if we didn't have waterproof mascara??? My boyfriend always arguments me about the product, because, in his mind, ladies should always wear waterproof mascaras, because he is sick of hearing girls saying "I can't cry because my mascara is going to fall off." I try to tell him that the components in waterproof mascara can alter the special components that makes the mascara unique like curl power or volume.

So here is what it looks like on me:



My lashes don't look as fuller as the Pupa mascara review. The big brush does coat every lash and the finish is neat. The waterproof aspect is sometimes challenged. It resists tears, but pools and sometimes lakes can cause it to flaque. I prefer this mascara than the Sexy Curves one, because the SC's wand is stupid... Don't get me wrong! Having a crease in the brush where mascara builds up and clumps lashes is a no-no for me.  Not the best mascara, but it does the job.

Mascara reviews: Pupa Ultraflex Curl

Wearing glasses and mascara somtimes dosen't mix. I have to choose wisely because my lashes can touch the lens and dirty it, so I can really have really long doll lashes! I have to curl my lashes and with the different types of mascaras I have, I get different results. My first review is for the Ultraflex Curl from Pupa.

As you know, love Pupa! It's one of my favorite makeup brand for its makeup kit and Miss Milkie line. So I've decided to try this mascara, because it promises to curl your lashes with super Italian technology...! Well here is the result: (BTW, the brush has one longer side)





I sometimes have clumping problems and the longer side of the brush dosen't help on the declumping. But I do notice that my lashes are more vampy and full, kind of like The Falsies from Maybeline. My mascara is old (I know I should throught it away...) so some residu occurs sometimes, but it still last long. I wore it for my prom :)

My next reviews will be on Rimmel mascar, CoverGirl and Maybeline

Favorite Designers: Betsy Johnson

In a previous article, I've wrote about the labels I would like to bedressed in for the rest of my life, if I had the money to do it :) I didn't mentioned Johnson, but put it later and I'm ashamed because her work is just amazing and totally in my taste.

He style is fun, colurful and she dresses pop star like Katy Perry. It's fun clothing and extravagent! All from the shoes to the shirt to the purse, she can make them quwerky and fun. http://www.betseyjohnson.com/home/index.jsp




This is from the intimate collection and it's still fabulous!

One day, I will own a piece of Betsy Johnson and her Betsyville collection. Winners has had some items in the past. NEXT TIME!!!

Ode to Clin d'oeil magazine

Clin d'oeil magazine is one of Quebec most famoush fashion mags. It is also the first. I've been reading them since 2008 and I have kept all of their magazines. I really love reading mags, the pictures, the fashio, the beauty and the articles are so eye catching. It's one of the reasons I want to work in the beauty and fashion industry. The possibility to touch luxury fabrics, to try on jewelery worth more than a car, trying beauty products!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My dream!

With Clin d'oeil, it's a lot about the women who read the publication. While they have high fashion, they also have good budget fashion. They help the community with funraiser and donations. It's not like reading Vogue or ELLE where the lowest costing item is 50$. They know that they need to diversify the content to remain on top.

They help me with what's in fashion and how to take care of myself. The article acn come and grab you be the heart or just make you laugh. I don't hesitate and say to futur employers take I want to work in fashion and I know I'm not  a high profil person, but I know where I want to go.
