Happy Holidays, everyone.

Despite being green I hope this post doesn't ruin your Chistmas :P

I really am not a holiday person.

So, for the products;

Manhattan eyeshadow base (the worst product I've bought in a long time)

Alverde LE liner in Magic Forest

Essence mascara

Bella Pierre eyeshadow in Lucky

no-name light frosty green shadow

A few extra pictures:

Placement is a bit different than my normal ways, but it turned out ok.

This is the green look, there's a red one coming up tomorrow.  After that I'll show you  some cute earings and do a post about my fav looks of 2010.

 I'm prolly even do a best/worst products of 2010 post.

Talk to you all very soon!

Orange Dazzle Dust

Hey, everyone.

I have a wee bit of a post featuring barry m orange dazzle dust, number 77.
For swatches go to
Barry M dazzle dust swatches.





I actually wear this color quite a lot. It's orange with silver/white frost in it. Perfect for blue eyes.

Since vacation is almost here, pressure is starting to wear down and I've been inspired to do a bunch of make-up looks, got a couple of cliche holiday colors as well; red and green haha.

I was reading Silhouette Screams earlier and I think I'll need to include a winter frost look. But seriously, there's just so much inspiring things around me I can hardly pic and choose which one to recreate.

Fingers crossed this productivity sticks with me. :)

One more fab thing; thank you to all my 112 followers. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

Taupe and purple

Hi :)
I think by now you all know purple is my favorite color to wear.

I somehow knew purple would look cute against taupe.
I used IsaDora's Pearl Palette for the silvery taupe and the purple from IsaDora duo (pink and deep purple, do not know the name of it).

And after a good few blending strokes...

Here we are!

Also, I am testing a new mascara.

It's Essence Stays on. Lovin' the brush, majorly. Not fan of the forumla; too wet. 2 coats are the max before it starts to clump up.

Review is possible. ;)

I visited my family and my cat. His name is Lumpi (it means Mischief)and I was cracking up over his choice of bed.

His butt was on the window shelf, his head on the sofa and the rest of the 8 lbs were hanging in the 20 cm between the shelf and the sofa. LOLcat :)

Gotta love cats, right? :)

Regards,

Yellow and brown EOTD

Hello!

Today I choose to post another IsaDora look.

The blue is from the Delirious palette,

brown is from Classic Browns palette

and the goldy color is from Pearls palette.

 This is my school look, so I went soft on the brows ;)
Black liquid liner stops half way. Product is Essence Black Mania liquid eyeliner.

 Face whoring

Make sure you click on the picture to view it full-size.

Also, do my post show up with pictures in your google reader / dashboard/ blogroll? Because they don't show up in mine, but I have not beeen doing anything different.

It's upsetting.

Hope everyone has a productive week!

Regards,

ˇ~ˇV.

EDIT: MartianDelights has the solution for this issue, so here's the path for those that may have the same problem:  blogger settings > site feeds > allow blog feeds >  full.

That is it. Thank you so much, MartianDelights

Any skypers out there?

Well, soooo I was thinking (odd, yes) if any of you used skype. I remember it used to have a ''skypeme'' thing that they got rid of due to all the pornspam.

Definately don't miss that! :D

Anyways, in case you feel like chatting, you can search for vanesa.si
I would appreaciate it if you included your blog name in the detail exchange box
just so I know who you are and don't freak out :P

Or if you want you can comment below or mail me with your user name. Either way. If you don't use skype you can still follow me on twitter.
I also have a YT account that my blog is named after, but no uploads. I might change that ;)

That's pretty much all I have to say.

Good night, everbody.

ExOTD - Experiment of the day

This week's experiment is layering blue over copper.

boring

Nyx Pearl Mania in Turquiose Pearl

over

Essence longlasting pencil

I think I'll pass. Nyx pearl mania desperately needs and oil, creamy base
so essence didn't quite work all that well.

Not a fan of the essence mascara either. The brush is useless, the formula is nice, though.

Ps. I couldn't make my lighting work to use my DIY lightbox.

Makes me saaaad.

Vampy Red EOTD

Hey, hey blogettes.

Here I am with more stuff to share.

I was going for a vampish look, the problem is it turned out a smidge too orange. But it's still interesting, just not goth enough.

Oh, well, maybe next time! =)

I layered a red matte eyeshadow with a grey. whoo hoo, vampires

The highlight color (corners, browbones) is a shimmery goldish color.

Wrong choice of brush for filling in my brows so the result isn't that flattering, too patchy. But it should teach me not to deviate from what works D:

The face is same ol, same ol.
Liquid foundation (Barry M white + Revlon Color stay, 50 : 50 ratio)
First set with Lily Lolo Translucent Silk setting powder and then layered with Lily Lolo Porcelain mineral foundation. It looks less cakey when used in this sequence; setting powder first, powder later.

And a farewell collage ;)

So are there any looks you guys what rather see in terms of color/color combinations?

Or would you perhaps like a review of any of the stuff that I've used so far? I don't do that many reviews but would like to give it a try. If you are interested, of course.

Regards,

~ V.

Wearable. Coral&White EOTD

Hi, ladies

This is a quick post with what looks like a straight forward eyeshadow look using 2 colors.

As i am not a professional photographer I was only able to capture 2 colors, but I actually used 5.

The white is Alverde limited edition shade from Rose Garden collection. And all the pink corally stuff is from everyday minerals.

1. The dark brick color is Everday Minerals blush in shade New Mom.

2. The coraly color is Sand Cherry eyeshadow by Everyday Minerals.

3. It's all faded out using Everday Minerals Dusty Miller eyeshadow.

For extra sparkles I added Nxy Peral Mania in Fanta Pearl.



Flat hair day ftw ;)

The look had much more demension to it, but camera did not pick up on it. Sorry.

Teal and Chocolate make-up look

UPDATED Feb 20, 2012

Avon tests on animals and I felt I need to let you know

I will not be buying from them again. You can further read about this issue HERE

Hey, gals! 

This is a post to make up for the not so pretty MU look from few days back.

In case you missed them, you can view my two previous looks here: yucky-teal-and-orange  + Blacky smokey with Avon SuperShock

All I did was layer (over teal)  a matter brown from IsaDora Classic Browns palette, I have a look with it already, check the right side for Chocolate Smokey Eyes post.

I ended up with a daytime look, with just a pop of color. much nicer than the original imo

The awesome thing was that the teal was shining through the brown. So pretty!

 

What's the verdict? Do you like it, do you hate it?

I prefer it over full-on teal, actually :D

Yucky Teal and Orange Makeup look

Good evening, everyone!

To start off the weekend I have a colorful fail of a look to show you  gals. Now, the idea behind was to have a teal look with brown winged out liner

and orange liner in the waterline. Result:

At first glance It doesn't look too bad. The gold sparkles and liner make my eyes look very blue. Yay for that. Liner is Nxy lipliner thingy.

However, it looked sooo wrong as whole with my yellowed tone complexion.

Full-face pictures made me cringe and I seriously though it to be the uggliest combination I've ever put on my face.

You can see in the middle picture, how strange this color looks against my skin.
EWWW. Just ewww.

So I decided to layer another color over it. And it turn out lovely!

I'm saving it for my next post so keep an eye out for that, if you are interested, of course :D

Apart from that, I was checking out Nihrida's blog and I found instructions for making your own lightbox. I'll try it out tomorrow and we'll see if my pictures will be of better quality.

Have a fun Friday!

Black smokey with Avon Super Shock gel liner

UPDATED Feb 20, 2012

Avon tests on animals and I felt I need to let you know

I will not be buying from them again. You can further read about this issue HERE 

Hey, everyone.

Here is a very quick and easy look. No eyeshadows, just Avon Super Shock gel liner. Blended out with ecotools little ''highlighter'' brush.

I have hairy swatches of the pencil at the bottom of the post.

Blogger sure has been confusing lately, it refuses to work with me.
And I have no time to resolve the problems.

And a bit of a photo fail: I have a small red fiber thing on my nose. In every single picture :D
haha, i'm a dork

The liner itself is blue based black with silver sparkles. Very, very pretty. And quite longlasting once it sets.

A non-apettizing swatch :P

I'm composing this at school while I'm wating for my bus. :)
Multitasking ftw.

So what are you guys up to, any plans for the holidays yet?

=) V.
