My photoshoot - sneak peek!
I finally had myself talked into modeling for photos... I had loads of fun!
New Ocean FOTD with TKB Trading Pigments!
A week ago I received this packet full of TKB goodies and I couldn't wait to try them for a FOTD.
Summer has definitely come here, and I even managed to get a bit of a tan. I'm actually using MAC Face&Body Foundation in C3 right now, which is a true achievement for my uber-pale skin!
Given that I have a bit of colour on my face now, I decided to experiment with shades that I wouldn't normally wear, like blues. I usually don't like how blue eyeshadow looks against my eyes, except for very dark (think deep navy) or very pale, icy blues. However, with this "new" skin colour, everything feels possible ;)
I'm using a new camera now, so apologies if the pictures aren't the best quality, I still have to figure out how to make the most of it.
I also loved how this coral lipstick looked paired with blues!

Nicki Minaj inspired - Glitter FOTD
I know I'm probably the most different thing from Nicki on earth, and I'm also not her biggest fan around, but I saw her make-up in the video "Moment 4 Life" the other day and my jaw dropped. I HAD to recreate this!This is her make-up for reference:
To see the glitter in action, watch her video here ! And this is my attempt:
Please NOTE: at the moment of taking the pictures I didn't see that the inner half of my left false eyelash had come off, so please excuse the grossness you see in the close-ups.
Please NOTE II: in real life this looked BOOM KAPOW! In the pictures it's a LOT washed out unfortunately. Keep what you see in the video as a reference, because it's all about the glitters. This pic is a little blurry but the glitter shows through better:
