OOTD | I could be the one to make you feel that way

Hi ladies! I met up with some friends at Les 3 Brasseurs for my friend Steph's birthday a few weeks ago, where we indulged in some delicious beers and I had their absolutely savoury Portobello burger, once again (portobello mushroom, grilled peppers, onions, zucchini, goat cheese and arugula, served with sweet potato fries) - I included a picture in my September in Pictures post for you to see, since I seem to be mentionning this plate quite often!

The weather was surprisingly nice for late September, so I did not hesitate to wear shorts... for the last time of the season! I did not really have the opportunity to wear my Flash t-shirt from ROMWE before so I decided to throw a vest over it for a more casual look, and I was happy to receive compliments on it! 

Also, I just can't seem to get over how shiny and soft my hair look in these pictures - I think I am in love with Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Deep Hydrating Treatment and Dry Styling Oil! Be sure to read my review on these amazing products!

FOTD + OOTD | I am a wild one tame me now, running with wolves & I'm on the prowl

I'm incredibly relieved to finally be done with school - in fact, I actually find it hard to believe! Not to mention the strike and all - we voted to end the strike at the university where I'm going just in time because a few days after, the government announced that the students who were still on strike would finish their winter classes... in September! WTF?

Anyway, the purpose of this post is not to set a debate regarding this but to show you my first FOTD and OOTD in ages! The reason for this is that since I have been on strike, I have been working full time and my uniform is not exactly interesting, so I jumped at the opportunity to take pictures of some proper makeup and outfit that I wore to class - I even had a special guest...

FOTD + OOTD: Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

I recently started working as a sales person at a clothing boutique at my local mall (I won't discolse the name here, I don't want any problem, but if you really want yo know, you can tweet me) and I love it so far, it's very different from my previous jobs but I'm always up for new aventures and challenges!

The employees have a dress code to follow and I'm actually enjoying having to get dressed up for work - and we are also required to wear lipstick or lipgloss, which is cool because I don't have lots of occasions to wear lipsticks and I have so many! So here are my FOTD and OOTD for my second day at work.

FOTD + OOTD: You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart, never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out how to love

I've been requested a look using MAC Surf Baby Cheek Powder in My Paradise that I recently won in Michelle's 100 followers giveaway (thank you again Michelle!) and I couldn't wait to show you how gorgeous it is!

L - R: only the blush color, only the overspray, both blended together

As I mentionned above, the sole purpose of this FOTD was to show you how gorgeous My Paradise looked once applied on the cheeks... but of course I forgot to take proper pictures before leaving for school, so I had to rush to take pictures with my phone once in my car, hence the crappy quality. I hope you can still see how gorgeous and shimmery it is? I have found the glitters to be quite chunky and hard to blend but I love how they tone down the blush a bit, because it's super pigmented.

* Product tested on animals. You may (or may not) be aware that Gaby's Beauty Blog recently went cruelty-free. However, I hope it's understandable that I can't simply throw away the products I have previously purchased that have unfortunately been tested on animals - believe me, I wouldn't hesitate if I were rich! My goal is to use up those products but not repurchase them in the future. Also, Gaby's Beauty Blog will no longer accept for review purposes products that have been tested on animals.

FOTD + OOTD: The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling we could of had it all

I realize I don't post FOTDs or OOTDs often on here and I don't really have a proper reason besides lazyness. I must admit I never thought my makeup looks or outfits could be of any interest as I mostly stick with basic and neutral looks - boring much? - but these types of posts seem to be very popular on the blogosphere.

Anyway, I had a job interview two weeks ago (I got the job, yey!) and for once, I was not in a rush and I had the time to take proper pictures!

OOTN: Sun-kissed skin so hot, we'll melt your popsicle, oooooh oh oooooh

Last week, I met with some friends to have dinner at Chez Milot and then we headed to Radio Lounge in Montreal. This is what I wore to dinner because I didn't have time to change before:

Cardigan: Giant Tiger

Tank top: Forever 21

Shorts: Stitches (those were an old pair of jeans I cute into shorts)

I did my hair before the restaurant to save time, but as you can see in the pictures below, it didn't hold its curls through the day because it was so hot and humid, despite my overload of hairspray. And after the club, it was totally falling flat LOL.

After dinner, I changed to go clubbing:

with Sara and Véronique (I did Sara's makeup!)

 What a dumb smile LOL

Cami: Simons

Necklace: Avon

Studs earrings: eBay

with Sara and Gen

I don't have a picture of my full outfit, but I wore this skirt from Limité:

It is really short (I wouldn't wear it on the street), but it was on sale ($10, if I remember well) and I couldn't get over the pretty lace details:

 ♥♥♥♥♥

The day after, my father found a stray dog in your yard! Don't worry, we found his owner pretty quickly and handed him to her. I bet he ran from the house because he was scared of the storm. Poor doggie!

 It's a shih tzu named Toufou.

The way he sits is just too cute! I was wondering if he had legs problems, though )=

with my mother

We gave him cat food because we were worried he would be starving - and he ate it!

It was nice meeting you, Toufou!
