FOTD | Now I know what a fool I've been but if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again ♥


At the beginning of December (yes, I am late, as always!) was held my work's Christmas party and I had an amazing time with my coworkers! It is always fun to relax and hang out with friends in a different atmosphere than at work. We ate, drank and danced all night, but of course, I had to wake up at 5:00 the following morning for work - oh well, it was worth it!

I wanted to show you my FOTD but as for my OOTD, I did not have the time to take proper pictures but I chose to wear the dress from Winners I wore to Geneviève and Robin's wedding this summer, and I accessorized it with a blazer from Suzy Shier that I borrowed from my mother. I also wore some new boots I found for a bargainous price at Giant Tiger - I will probably feature them in an upcoming OOTD post.

I never had the patience for false lashes but when I it was brought to my attention that the new Katy Perry Lashes by Eylure ($7.99), the UK’s #1 false eyelash specialist, have now officially launched in Canada, I simply could not resist - they all looked so gorgeous and absolutely stunning! 

When the four styles landed on my doorstep, I knew I had to wear some to the party, but which one? It was love at first with 'Oh, My!' since they looked so big and beautifully layered, but when I tried them on, I found them a bit too dramatic for what I had in mind. I decided that 'Sweetie Pie' and 'Oh, Honey!' were too natural-looking, so I finally decided to go with 'Cool Kitty', and I was not disappointed! 

Katy Perry Lashes by Eylure 'Cool Kitty'

'Cool Kitty' is said to be one of Katy's favorite lashes since it is the perfect evening-wear lash with manicure tips. I love how they frame my eyes beautifully by adding just the right amount of length and volume without feeling heavy. Of course, my application was not perfect since I'm a beginner at false lashes, but I quite enjoyed the result, except when the left lash started to fall off at the end of the party, but I must admit I have been dancing like crazy all night, so I don't think the glue is that bad. 

Katy Perry by Eylure Lashes are handmade, 100% natural and each style is reusable. The lashes are available at Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, London Drug and Ebeauty.ca

FOTD & OOTD | Looking for some trouble tonight, take my hand, I'll show you the wild, side

When you are wearing a uniform five days a week for work as I do, you don't really have the opportunity to take pictures for an interesting OOTD post, but recently, I had to dress up and jumped at the chance to show you my outfit! I can't say I love fall but I guess it's still better than winter because it's not too cold yet for leggings, which happens to be one of my favorite thing to wear. I like to pair leggings with tops and even with shorts - they are just so versatile and so much more comfy than jeans!

FOTD & OOTD | Everything that I want, I want from you, but I just can't have you ♥


Friday night, my friends and I decided for something a bit different - a pyjama party! What, you can't get drunk party at a nightclub every weekend, can you? Sometimes it's fun to have a more laid-back and relax night, so we put on our cutest pyjamas (OK, I was the only one with an actual pyjama), cooked a delicious dinner (it was the first time I ever had curry rice, yum!), talked about our plan to escape to Cancun this summer and watched Seconds Apart, an horror movie (which is more of a weird thriller in my opinion, but it was OK).

I wanted to play with my Marcelle BB Cream-to-Powder for a while but of course, being a beauty blogger, it was out of the question for me to even swatch it if I had not taken proper pictures of it before, which is hard with this crappy winter lighting! To my great surprise, there was a ray of sunlight in the morning and I was able to take some pictures in preparation for an actual review, and I could not wait to try it on since I love the original BB Cream so much, and I was not disappointed! It conceals redness - damn eczema! - and the few blemishes I have without feeling heavy. I have never been a fan of foundation but this might just be my new faorite product! And to say I have waited five months before trying it... So I decided it would be fun to show you my FOTD featuring this product... and pyjama!

Birthday/Halloween FOTD + OOTD | Surprise surprise, you're much better looking when you're in disguise

This year, my friends and I decided to celebrate my birthday as well as Halloween last Friday, the actual day of my birthday - even though I was allowed to open my birthday gift two days before my birthday (post to come)! We made vegetarian sushis and drank all night, it was fun!

Nauticall Doll costume - Costume Discounters | nail polish - Illamasqua Nail Duo Throb & Spartan

You may remember that last year I dressed up as Pikachu for Halloween, but this year I went for something less original - and complicated - my Nautical Doll costume that I received from Costume Discounters this summer.

I don't have a close-up of my makeup because, as always, I did not have the time to take proper pictures, but I just did a heavy dark blue smokey eye with red lips.

my boyfriend the DJ was supposed to be a ventripotent but he was not able to properly inflate his costume!

FOTD | Lay down your arms, give up the fight; throw up your arms into the sky, you and I ♥


One of my favorite place to go clubbing is definitely Unity, a nightclub located in the heart of the gay village of Montreal. With 2 rooms, a VIP lounge and large terrace on the roof, Unity offers 2 different styles of music every night, entertainment, animation, and drags, a gorgeous crowd and much more - I especially enjoy the large terrace for a nice breath of fresh air when the club is completely crowded!

Some friends and I had a great time at Unity Saturday August 25 and I can't wait to go back - and yes, I was working at 9:00 the following morning - YOLO, as they say! I don't have much of a FOTD to show you because usually, when I plan to go out, I will take my time to do a more elaborate makeup look but this time, going out was not really planned so I did not have much time to prepare.

FOTD & OOTD | À la vie, à la mort on va s'aimer encore (Geneviève & Robin's Wedding)

The gorgeous bride and groom

Last Saturday, my friend and I celebrated our friends Geneviève and Robin's wedding. I have known Gen since elementary school and she and Robin met through my boyfriend and I, and I know Gen was dreaming of this wedding for such a long time! It was awesome to be with them for this very special celebration.

Beautiful tables setup and yummy cupcakes

Of course, between my hairdresser appointment in the morning (more details in an upcoming post) and everything else, I absolutely forgot to take proper pictures of my makeup and outfit, as always! Here is a quick breakdown anyway.

We arrived at the church a little before the wedding to be able to do a quick photoshoot. 

Acting silly (as always!) and dancing with the bride


It was a beautiful day and we had tons of fun! Congratulations again Geneviève and Robin, I wish you lifelong happiness!
