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. Let’s keep that thought, only this time, lets tweak it a bit – because our adult idealisms of bright makeup being tacky is about to be put to rest, once and for all. read more…

Lips speak volumes about you… literally [insert chuckle]. But seriously, try not drawing attention to your lips. It’s kind of impossible because they’re on your face and constantly moving. This is the only time I’m going to say, let’s draw our attention away from what those lips are saying and focus on how they’re looking (#sorrynotsorry), with the help of these statement lip colours & combos. read more…

IMPORTANT: Oscar Nominated Beauty Puns

Year after year, movie-fanatics and the general public patiently await for the release of *the sacred* nominations list so they can: 1) figure out what movies are worthy of their time and attention, and/or 2) mark their calendars so they can see what will be the successor of Angie’s right leg.

Even though my attention is more directed to the latter point, don’t feel too obligated to follow suit. Because no matter your interests or intentions, The Oscars, the academy, and the attractive faces of various celebrities, will be sure to intrigue you. And if they don’t, I guess you should listen to the irrelevant-to-the-situation Lana Del Rey, and “put on your mascara and your party dress” – because things are about to get real punny up in here. On that note, we present to you: really nonsensical movie-themed ~*beauty*~ puns. Cast your votes. read more…

How could a jalopy drivin’ ginger from Riverdale score two of the hottest chicks in town? Your guess is as good as mine!

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

One of my favorite things about fashion these days is the trend toward mixing high end pieces with regular-people-priced clothing.  Thankfully, many makeup companies are following suit and many of the brands that you can find in the drug store are now comparable with prestige products.  You have renowned makeup artists like Pat McGrath repping Revlon, Billy B with L’Oreal, Grace Lee as lead artist at Maybelline Canada… further verification that you don’t have to pay big bucks to get some great beauty products.

If you are anything like me, you love to peruse the aisles at a drug store, or find a website with quality items that are reasonably priced.   I’m a product addict no matter what the cost, so of course I love a good bargain that’s also something I would actually use myself or in my professional makeup kit. Here are my favourite products (in no particular order) that you can pick up for $15 or less! read more…
