Would You? Could You? COLOURED EYELINER


Source: Rickynyc

When we look back at our childhood, we may come to find that our impression of vibrant makeup colours is rooted in our tweenage years. At the age of 10 (or so), caking on some sort of cheap blue eye shadow for fun seemed like a casual ordeal.

15 Under $15: Lucky’s Favourite Cheap & Cheerful Beauty Products

Here are my favourite products (in no particular order) that you can pick up for $15 or less! read more…

BEAUTY TREND TO TRY: Runway Inspired Graphic Eyeliner

If clothing is an extension of art, then the way in which you cake your face with makeup really can’t be too far off. Much like a bold outfit makes you exude confidence, bold makeup gives you the hypothetic ability to say “I’m a badass, don’t mess with me.” read more…
