I have new glasses! :O

Hello!

You know it if you read the title, but I got a new pair of glasses!

*YAY!*

Here's a picture of my "old" glasses :

AHAH! Don' mind that weird shadow! Anyway, you can see, they were pretty small.. The brand was FCUK if you're wondering.. I got them at Costco almost 3 years ago.

Here are the new glasses! :

I LOOOOVE them, they look geeky to me, and I think they suit me well.. They are Polo Ralph Laurent, again, if you were wondering. Oh and did I told you? I LOOOOVE them :)

That is seriously all I wanted to write today, but don't be scared, I have a couple looks and hauls to show you and some other good stuff :)

Thanks for reading ladies! :)

Don't you know already!?

Hello dear possible winners of some good stuff!

Don't you know that Alicia (aka FunnyFace Beauty) is having a competition where you have to recreate/get inspired by a red carpet look ( any of them.. it could be from 10 years ago, and still work! )? No? What!? Have you been living under a rock or something??

I'm going to send you over her post where everything is... Rules, how to enter.. Everything!

I can't actually participate to this contest.. I know.. You're wondering why I can't! It's because.. I'll get to be a judge with two other marvellous bloggers! ( Aka Marie from Marie a la Mode and Amy from Black and White Collage ) So here a mocking entry, to maybe inspire you to participate for real! :D

Look at her makeup.. Ahhh! I love it! I always love the way she looks.. Like an old fashion pin up.. I really like it!( I'm a big Katy Perry fan... Music and look wise! )

So here's what I came up with... Don't laugh about the hair! I'm in no way shape or form an hair stylist of some sort... So it's extra plain... I also could have accesorize a little bit.. But eh, my thing is makeup!

So yup! Even though Katy had more of a silver shadow going on... I added glitter.. For the fun of it! And I also added a gold gloss over my red lips since I saw a little warmth in her lipstick..  I added a pink blush and bobbypined my hair a tad and made a pony tail... Voila! You have it! My version of Katy Perry's look for I don't know which red carpet! :D

(Quickly.. If you're wondering what I have on my face :
Eyes :
-MAC Painterly paintpot
-Inglot shadow in 351 (matte skin tone color)
-Inglot shadow in 348 (matte dark gray color)
-Inglot shadow in 64 (black with gold sparkle)

Thanks for reading.. and I hope to see your face in the contest!

Review : Katy Perry Mini Nail Laquers by OPI

My oh my.

Ever since I saw preview on bigger nail blogs, I've been craving this collection. Yes, it's small.. But my love for Katy Perry and glitters explode inside me when I saw the swatches. The Queen herself could say that these are the worst nail polish ever, I would have still bought them to try them. I was sad when I saw that the beauty salon didn't received the full sized collection with the shattered top coat, but they'll soon. I'll have a post dedicated to the top coat actually ! But before hand, here's me blabbering about those four polishes!

First of all, I got this pack of 4 baby sized nail polish for 14,99$. They're each 3,75 mL or 1/8 Fl Oz, compared to 15 mL or 1/2 Fl Oz for a full sized. Where I live, that pack is a tad more expensive than one full bottle, and to me it sounds like a pretty good price! ( If you do the maths -> 1/8 times 4 is 1/2... So getting the 4 mini bottles for the price of one is actually not quite a bargain, but still not a steal. )

First Color : The One That Got Away

This is a red, obviously, but depending on the light, it passes from a dark winey red color to a brighter rasberry-ish red. There's also tiny silver sparkles in it that sometimes look light red since the polish itself is quite sheer. Overall, it works well with my skin color, that I'll call uberly light, but I feel like it's dupable. Don't get me wrong! I really love the glow that it gives when it's on, and I actually don't have anything like it ( I don't have that many nail polishes .. ), but you may want to take a look at your collection before going out and buy it :)

Here it is with 3 coats on! Sorry for the fingerprints all over.. That's what you get for having a glass table!

Next : Teenage Dream

One word : LOVE! Simply love. If you had to pick any of the colors from those 4, and maybe from any polishes in the whole world.. This one. And I'm not joking! This is my favorite polish of all the one I own. It's a pink jelly based polish loaded with tiny pinky-silver sparkles and hexagonal holo glitters. Tell me that doesn't sound delicious! If you get it, don't get discouraged by the first coat. It'll be super sheer. But with 3 coats... Pure Yummyness!

The middle finger is actually the more accurate one. I don't know why the finger on the left look so light actually! But anyway.. You should close your mouth now.. I know it's watering for this pretty polish, but your keyboard will not love it if it starts leaking like a waterfall!

Then : Last Friday Night

This one is a liar. I know! You're thinking of a pretty jelly bright blue polish, but no, liar, it's more of a glitter top coat to me! ( I actually founded a combo with it that will make me buy a full size of it probably... pictures below! ) Anyway... Prepare yourself for some coats over coats over coats if you want to wear it on it's own! It has the same hexagonal glitters that Teenage Dream has, but instead of tiny pinky-silver sparkles, it has tiny blue shimmers and silver mini flakes.

Yes, this is 3 coats.. You can see the white tips of the nails and how sheer it is... Hopefully, I tried this :

Bad and blurry picture, I know.. And the color accuracy is not the best... But you get the idea! Last Friday Night over the Suede finish Russian Navy...They seriously fit perfectly!! Plus, in this photo, you can see the difference of a baby bottle next to mama bottle!

Lastly : Not Like The Movies

This is actually my less favorite one, and it's not because of the sheerness or the texture...Just because the color itself is not my cup of tea. It actually works well on my skin and all.. So I'll wear it, but there are a lot of colors that I like over this particular one. It's like a metallic Silver Green Purple colors with baby silver flecks. And you surely need 3 coats, like any polishes from this collection.

So that's all for this uber long post! I hope it helps someone in some way! If I had to recommend ANYTHING, I would say Teenage Dream ALL the way. Of course, if pink and/or glitter is not your type, I'm not stressing you to get it.. but if you think you might like it, GO. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Anyway.. Thanks for reading :)

Guess who's back? Back again! Marie's back, With an Eye of the Day.

Yes, I know. The title doesn't rhyme. :D

So. I "kinda" took a little pause if you haven't realized! It's part for personal reasons, part from extreme lazyness. Talk about honesty! :O

Anyway.

I'm back now. And for quite sometime! I bought a note book, that I like to call my planner, and wrote a bunch of ideas in it about future post and all.. So that might/will surely help! I also accept request, so if you ever want to see something.. Leave a comment :)

So to include a little interest in this post, and to actually show you guys something, here's my eye look of the day!
No face action though.. My skin is all messed up at this moment.. I guess that Cold weather+Dry wind+Snow Storm+That time of the month doesn't help with anything! Oh well !

 In order : 

-Urban Decay Original Primer Potion

-MAC Painterly Paint pot

-Inglot 415 Shadow in the crease ( turquoise/teal )

-Inglot 60 Shadow on the lid ( yellow )

-MAC Inter-View mineralize Eyeshadow ( the dark blue stripe ) on the outer corner/outer crease

-Inglot 415 Shadow on the outer lower lash line ( medium toned blue )

-Inglot 60 Shadow on the inner lower lash line ( yellow )

-MAC Crystal Avalanche shadow in the inner corner 

-MAC Blanc type on the browbone

-MAC Black track fluidline on the upper lash line and the water line

-L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara

I know, you might think that it's a little bright for this season.. But I want spring and summer back! I'm someone that like warm and hot weather... So winter in Quebec is really not my thing.. The feet or so of snow that we got yesterday made me feel depressed.. So I took out my turquoise and bright yellow to feel better :)

Thanks for reading!

Nail of 2 days ago : First attempt at patchwork.

Hello! 

I learned the patchwork technique from Erika, the author of Chloe's Nails ( and I found her blog through SayAnythingBr00ke on YouTube ). You basically "mask" you nails with scotch tape to make this! It's easy, fun and doesn't require any type of skills except patience. :)

As you can see, I'm dealing with tip wear ( that's what happen when you're moving your bedroom from the first floor to the basement.. ) and my lines aren't that crips. I guess that perfection will come with time.. I would recommend something even though this is my first try at it.. Put the lightest color near the nail bed and not the tip! Because my tips are light, I always have the impression that my nail as chipped. It might only be a mental thing.. Oh well, :)

I used :
-Joe Fresh Dupioni as the base color
-Joe Fresh Midas for the gold color
-Joe Fresh Imperial (the bottle in the picture) is the dark purple
-Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Black Out for the black triangle
And Seche Vite as my Top Coat !

Voilà! :)

It's super easy, I really recommend you to try it out! Do your own color combination too! It's really fun and easy to do while watching a good movie or tv .

Thanks for reading ,

15 random facts ? Oh yea.

 (Picture by : Coolayo)

Hi Gorgeous readers!

Just to let you know. I've been trying to record and publish a video on Youtube recently since I got a pretty good camera ( got meaning borrowed from my brother here! ), but I keep failing. I'll try again to make it work, but it's hard! Editing and stuff.. By brain hurts just from writing those words.

Annnnnyway.

FunnyFace Beauty, aka Alicia, posted a 15 random facts about herself recently and since it was quite an interesting post, I'll try to find 15 things that may interest you, or may not, I've only been on earth for 17 ( and a half ) years, keep that it mind!

Here we go ...

1. When I was younger, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, I started a really huge obsession about Sponge Bob. I had stuff with him all over. Pajamas, school bags, posters, stuffed animals, etc etc. I was known to be "the Sponge Bob Freak " and even started my own fan club. That obsession lasted 5 or 6 years.

2. I have a hard time doing super elementery things, such as knowing instantly my left and my right and read time on non-digital clocks. That doesn't make me a dumb person, right?

3. I used to be very crafty. When I was younger, I was drawing all the time, painting, glueing things on other things, etc etc. I also had a love affair when I discovered scotch tape. That thing has been taken away from me by teachers a lot at school! I also used to be good at origami.

4. Some of you might be tired of hearing this, but my main language is French ( from Quebec, and no, it's not like French from France.. There's a lot of similarities, of course, but it's really different still ). That being said, the educational system in Canada make you learn the 2 national languages ( french & english ). I started learning english when I was 7 or 8 years old, learning a little bit of grammar and verbs.. Saying the usual Lea goes to school and all, but still, most of the people who speak french here have a really hard time with english ( surely vice versa ). The way that I got to learn english is by myself, with the help of the Youtube beauty community. I still to mistakes ( a lot xD ) but I can communicate, and I'm proud of it :)

5. I was raised with my mom, my dad and my also my two brothers. We used to not being really close ( that might be explained by the fact that we are 10 and 11 years apart ) but as of today, we are actually close, and I cherish that relationship.

6. Through my life, I had a cat ( that we gave to my aunt because my mom turned out to be allergic ), a fish ( a beta, and he lived for 4 years ), a dog ( which is now 5 years old :D ) and a hamster ( wish is a year old now ).

7. I hate hate hate when others take pictures of me. I'm far from the perfect body and I have troubles accepting myself. I developped a way to take pictures of myself which doesn't make me look as hubby as I truely am and those are the only pictures that I accept of myself. (that's a sad fact.. )

8. On a funnier note, I can put both of my ankle behind my neck. And I can also "fold" myself in half. And I will NOT include pictures xD

9. I am a little weird about things sometime, like hitting the stop button of the microwave when there's one second left or having the toilet paper going the right way... Anyone else do little weird things like that?

10. Before I discovered the make up universe, I was a super tomboy. That was 3 years ago.. xD

11. I hate to shop for clothes. I usually live in jeans or sweatpants and t-shirts. Actually, when I found a type of t-shirt that I like, I buy it in every color. I don't have "cute stuff" and I am super okay with that!

12. People hate to sleep ( like sleep overs.. no twisted minds here!! ) with me because I move a lot and also "fold" myself ( that how I loooove to sleep  :D ). I also use to be a really bad sleepwalker, putting myself in the bathtub, closet or just fall back asleep in the hallway. My parents were so used to it that they were just helping myself walking to the bottom part of my bed ( not the sides.. the part where your feet should be ) and just push me right back in.

13. At my prom, there was a thing that EACH person got an award for something.. And I got the gossip girl one.. You can get your own conclusion for that...

14. I never got any broken bones but being really clumsy I did a lot of damage to myself xD When I was maybe 8, I ask a friend if I could try his BMX... And I was going pretty fast and had the great idea to press the break. His being reverse, I break with the front wheel, passed over the bike, flew for a couples meters and scratch one side of my face and one leg pretty bad.. I also drop down my high school stairs one day and open my knee ( three years ago ) and still have the mark ( I guess that it's now a scar ). It's seriously huge like.. a MAC blush ... But anyway.. out of every injures I got, the most painfull thing that happened to be was 11 months ago, when I got my tonsils removed. When I was 5 minutes away from the actual intervention, my mom told be that to her, it was worst than giving birth if that can give you an idea of how it feels.. Serious most pain I ever felt.. and it lasted two full weeks.

15. It took me 2 days to came up with 15 slightly interesting things about myself. Ohhh well!





I hope you had a little fun learning things about me  :D I'll have other post comming, don't worry! I just really tr to understand how to make the camera thiny work.. It's hard!!

Thanks for reading ! :)
