Photoshoot With Josianne From Être Radieuse!

Last Thursday, the very lovely Josy from Être Radieuse came over for an incredibly fun night. Josy and I started talking on Facebook about two years ago when we discovered each other's blog, but we finally met face to face very recently, at the Marcelle/Annabelle #Avant1reBeauté Event that was held last November, and there was instead chemistry between us. Josy and I live a little far from each other so it's always complicated to organize a meet-up, but we finally succeeded!

I picked up Josy at the subway terminal with a little surprise!

Back home, we had a merry shopping spree a the grocery store and the liquor store in the pouring rain (crappy Québec weather) and Josy cooked us a delicious vegetarian dinner.

Honey wine and sparkling rosé, melted camembert stuffed with olives and dried tomatoes, pastas with black beans and olives

Then, we were ready for the serious stuff and Josy worked her magic on me:

Can you believe Josy actually used a blush on my lips? It's Make Up For Ever Cream Blush in the shade #4 Fresh Pink

Think that was the serious stuff? Brace yourself!

Josy found herself a new best friend (:


Josy used mostly Sugarpill makeup for my transformation and she also added some homemade corn syrup fake blood.

But why did we do this?


Being a vegetarian, all animal issues are close to my heart and I do my best to raise awareness on those important topics. Josy and I were thinking for some times to unite for a photoshoot to illustrate animal testing, and even though it happened without real preparations, I think it turned out pretty well! For more info on animal testing, be sure to check my cruelty-free page.

Be sure to check out Josianne's blog, Être Radieuse, as well as her online portefolio, Make Up Little Josie. This lovely girl is incredibly talented and I'm sure she will go very far! I can't wait for the next photoshoot (:
