When I was a little girl, I loved to colour and paint. I actually still like to do both, though I do not have a lot of talent (yet!)
It is no surprise to you that I love colour - colour makes me a happy and feel vibrant!
But of course, we can't always have new clothes and some days we just need a little pick-me-up. It could be a lipstick, a pair of coloured socks, a pumpkin latte from Starbucks..
Enter stage right: Makeup!
I LOVE makeup! I am not sure I am good with makeup, but I love it!
on my face, I wear an ecologically sound, environmentally friendly brand by a wonderful cosmetics guru named Daniel Thompson. I believe he only sells to canadian salons currently, but his foundations are amazing and last and last and my skin looks amazing when i wear them.
You can visit his site for more information here.
But one cannot live by great skincare alone!
One needs COLOUR!
And this week, while mailing back my J Crew returns at the drug store, I meandered over to the cosmetics section, where I came across some special Smashbox kits for the holiday season:
The Studio Pop Ultimate Palette! eye shadow, blush, cream shadow and lip gloss. It was $69 but since I was going to spend $35 on a makeup trio, I was able to justify it, especially since I was going to share the palette with my daughter!
I like Smashbox, but I am also VERY partial to Too-Faced Makeup and their makeup kits, which are so lovely and which always give you great tips for application!
I love the natural eye kit:
Or their delightful shadow bonbons set for the holidays: (I don't have this yet, but I think my daughter will find it in her stocking)
Last Christmas I got a set for my daughter that looked like a guilded cage! I must admit, I am also partial to the packaging when I buy makeup!
Do you love makeup? We do not have a Sephora near here, but when I visit the one in Times Square I am over the moon with happiness. It is like Disneyland for colour-oholics!
I especially like it when they do dramatic looks:
I am not particularly good at them. My all-time favourite was the one from last holiday:
I am a complete sucker for a pale face and bright red lips!
Oh and Nars lip pencils! I could go on forever!
So what about YOU?
Happy Wednesday - stay safe out there!
PS: Congrats to President Obama for 4 More Years!

So what about YOU?
- Do you love makeup?
- What are your favourite brands?
- Do you wear it every day?
- do you always try to look completely natural or do you push the boundaries?
Happy Wednesday - stay safe out there!
