Monday of last week was my first real day at school since the strike finally ended after around a month an a half! Yey, I'm finally able to do some constructive things on weekdays LOL.
Tuesday, I played with some of the new Annabelle mineral line products I received to test and review.
This is not really a FOTD as it is the only picture I could snap before leaving the house. I don't even remember what makeup products I was wearing xD
cami: Stitches
vest: Stitches
leggings: eBay
heart-shaped earrings: Ardène
necklace: Giant Tiger
boots: Giant Tiger
boots: Giant Tiger
I'm totally getting addicted to those leggings! They are perfect for this strange weather (not warm enough for shorts or skirts, but not cold enough for wearing a coat). They are even warmer than my usual skinny jeans!

- Myth is my favourite shades out of the three Mineral Pigment Dusts I had the chance to test. It's such a unique shade! It a gorgeous shimmery gray-brown, depending on the lighting.
- The Mineral Powder Bronzer is a little hard for me to apply since my CoverGirl Minerals Powder Brush is too large for the jar, but I'm doing better every time. Maybe I should get a Kabuki brush?
- The Mineral Powder Blush is perfect! Just like its name, it really delivers a natural glow.
- I'm still not sure how I'm really supposed to use the Sattelite Pearl Powder, but I use it as a highlighter as it gives a really subtle glow.
Friday, I experimented with another of my new Annabelle goodies: Mineral Pigment Dust in Violet Vibe. I had an exam and it was the last time of the semester that I had class on Friday. After school, I met with friends to have dinner at my house. We cooked meat macaroni (is that how you say that in English?) with melted cheese on top. D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!
(excuse my right brow... I over-trimmed it and tried to fill it with eyeshadow because I don't have a matching eyeliner LOL)

Violet Vibe is a greatly pigmented shimmery purple. I might try to use with a black base under it to make it appear darker next time.
I also attempted for the first time to achieve gradiant nails:

Of course, it's far from perfect, but it's fun and so simple to do!
I loved the shirt in first pic, and eye makeup looked stunning on you as well. How do you keep yourself so thin !?? Share some tips with me :p
ReplyDeleteLove that striped sweater! You sound just like me. Exams end on the 7th and I start Summer School on the 10th :(
ReplyDeleteThe pigment eyeshadows look great - I love the "Myth" colour, it's gorgeous! The nails look fab too, I'll definitely have to try out the glitter tips! x
ReplyDeletethe purple shadow looks very pretty

...and everything girly under the sun!
Thank you! But I don't have any tips to give you, as I don't exercise and eat as much as I want of what I want LOL. I must have heritated that body from my mother, she's just like me!
ReplyDelete@Chels: Thank you! I'm taking Summer classes because I don't have a job, so I won't have the impression of waisting my time LOL.
@Lily Lipstick: Thank you!
@Sarai: Thank you!
@Marie: Thank you!
That's a cute way to do your nails :)
ReplyDeleteyou got such a good dressing taste, looks so pretty! And the nails looks simple yet pretty!
ReplyDeleteVrm beau le eyeshadow mauve!!
ReplyDeletepis jaime tes ongles aussi..
I love your casual OOTD Gaby :) Leggings are great aren't they? And I find them warmer than jeans too probably because the stitching is a closer knit?
ReplyDeleteThe annabelle pigments look very pretty on you - I think Myth looks best on you too!
Meat macaroni sounds good! I think maybe that's what they would call it!
And I love your nails! I love both colours of nail polish you used - does the rockstar pink require 2-3 coats? I love pink colours like that but sometimes it takes like 4-5 coats to get it that colour :\
I love using that Rockstar Pink nail polish! Removal is sucky though I'd have to say. lol But its pretty so I don't mind. hahah
ReplyDelete@J E S S U: Thank you!
ReplyDelete@Jessying: Thank you!
@VaLili: Merci!
@Leenda: Yes, I agree, but it's totally worth the mess ahah
