Here are pics....without flash!
 
 
 I decided to put my hair up.....I'm sensing some "Latino vibes" goin on here....haha
 Pics taken with the DSLR Camera....


 
====================================  
I went to Sally's Beauty Supply Store and got these things....
  
All reduced tagged products were 50% off at my location....I got that tweezer for around $5 (original $10)and it's pretty good. I've used it already....so I'm impressed.
 The Keratin Reconstructor Kit was also on sale...($7.99). I have no idea if there will be positive results or not....however the Brazillian/Keratin hair Hair treatments have been quite popular amongst celebrities these days. I've also read blogger Anjali H's review about the actual Keratin Salon Treatment and the results were quite impressive. I have damaged hair with all the hair colouring and so I do need repairing treatments from time to time. Since, I found something similar to it at Sallys...I was anxious to try this out before getting the treatment at a salon.  
I actually want to tone down my hair a bit...so I'll be trying out this permanent hair colour soon. It's in medium golden brown. I hope it turns out fine. ==================================== 
Here are some cute cheap priced jeweleries/accessories I picked up at Ardenes....
These were five flowers for $10. (The fifth flower is missing)
3 Necklaces for $10
==================================== 
I also got some cute things from H&M.....
- Vintage Golden Coloured Leggings (Great to wear with Desi/Indian Outfits)
- Cute Coral Flower (to accessorize your outfit/hair even) I'm loving this flower so much!
- Cute Silver Bows (to accessorize your outfit/hair even)
 
These earrings are pretty and cheap...around $5 for each pack.  ==================================== 
 Now at Aldo Accessories....their prices are more than what I paid at H&M/Ardene's but the quality and the look of the jeweleries are so much better....I guess you get what you pay for. =p
 ==================================== 
I bought some cute boxes from Dollerama (a Cdn dollerstore) for the new jeweleries...
 ====================================  
Recently, my expensive HairArt straightening iron broke because of a clumsy accident. =( Unfortunately, it was with me for a short time period.  I loved it and I was missing an iron in the meantime. I was recommended by my friend Joolee to check out Winners (a Cdn department store) for an iron.  They have brands like Cortex, Angelique, Rust....etc. Many of their irons had pattern print but I don't really dig those too much so I tried to find a plain black iron.  I finally chose Fahrenheit Iron 1 1/4 inch which was $40.00. I've used it for a short time now....so far so good!
Well...that's all for now!

I love your makeup and your hair too, I have used ion before and not been that impressed with it but the dye I used was quite dark so I would be interested to see how you get on although the colour you have is already really nice

Love this look!! Just wanted to ask you about the MAC Pro Longwear foundation.. I also got matched for NW35 but I'm usually a NC43/44 (I look a shade or so darker than you in your pictures, I think) - was NW35 dark for you at all; how was the colour match? I don't know whether to get NW35 or NW40. Would appreciate your help, thanks! :)

I love this look! <3

Arezu said...

Wow, I LOVE the look, I have to try Parfait Amour over a black base, this look is beautiful!

How does that flat iron work? I always see cheap flat irons at Winners and I always thought they'd be rubbish because they're cheap. I paid $200 for a flat iron from Amika (those kiosks at the mall - ugh) and it looks exactly like the one you purchased. I paid an extra $25 for an unlimited exchange guarantee that if anything happened to it I could get a new one, but when I went back a second time to get a new one this girl said I had to pay $25again and it was only limited to one exchange. Anyways, I'm rambling, lol!

jilliandanica said...

Semi Permanent Eyeliner said...

resham said...

lovely look!!!!

Anonymous said...

ive been viewing your blog for a while and ive learnt sooo much about application from the tutorials! Is there any chance you would do one for this look because its stunning?!
I just have a question, i noticed you used liner with the lipstick, i recently purchased that same lipstick and am having trouble making it work! I have similar colouring to you. i just wondered how you apply the liner to make a light lipstick work. Thanks

Cassandra said...

You look so damn good!! love the make up!
Alot of nice things you got there!!

New Follower!

<3Cassie

nunu said...

roshni said...

yes, i would also like to know how 2 make light lippies work wen u have pigmented lips. great pics by the way

Chris said...

Great makeup looks! But you should do nail polish swatches so we can see how the colors look on NC42 skin. :)

Zerin (XinaRox) said...

MyMakeUpMania - Thnx!I really dig smokey purples.

The Beautiful Blog - Thnx! I just recently used the medium golden brown mixed with a little ashblonde to do my roots and then used a 10 vol to make a toner for the rest of my hair to tone it down a bit.

mw - Thanx hun!

sabina - Thnx! I love creme cup lipstick. You should definitely get it. I'm thinking why I never got it earlier.

Christina - Thnx! Well...NW 35 is a lil dark for me but it does work out. You can swatch the NC 45 though but that one was too dark for me. I think I might end up mixing NC 42 with NW 35 to get it matched even better.I really like the formula though...

Shortiee31 - Aww thnx hun.

cococharnelle - Thnx hun.

Nilufar Ali - Aww Thnx hun Dhunnobaad! =D To be honest, I dont have smooth skin...primer and foundation does help in the photography. I really need to go back to my usual skincare routine..I've been lazy and have noticed lil bumps all over. Also, a camera's flash also helps look like the skin is smoother lol...Just remember to blend out your foundation well.

Sharon - Thnx hun! Purples are always hot!

jooLee - lol....Thnx!

Jennifer - Thnxx!

Dhalia - Thnx hun! I see you like my latino vibes pic....lol

Amina - lol thnx hun....make-up does take up alotta time =p

Tina Marie - Thnx Tina!

DesignerSpray - lol Thnx hun...no secret here... =p

BabyGirlRina - Thnx hun!

Arezu - Thnx hun! Parfait Amour e/s looks HOT over a black base. =)So far the iron is working fine. I used it in this FOTD. =) I dont think the kiosk stand ones are worth it either...I loved my last one it was around $120-130ish....it's called HairArt and I bought it from a salon downtown. I stil want to get a replacement for it in the future. For now, I'm being cheap and bought a reasonable iron. =)

jilliandanica - Thnx hun! Purples are hot!

resham - Thnx hun! Glad you liked it so much.

Sue - Thank you!

Anonymous - I've been getting alotta requests for this one. I think I should consider it. I apply the lipliner a bit thicker and try to make a gradient effect from dark to light then I apply the lighter lipstick from the center and out. Maybe I should do a tutorial on that as well. =)

Cassandra - Thnx for following hun. =)

nunu - Thnx hun!

roshni - Thnx! you should try applying a lipliner thickly and start applying the lipstick from the inner circle and out.

Chris - Thnx! I would love to do nail swatches but my fingernails are really short right now. I should grow them out but it's so hard...lol
