Let The Show Begin...

New Year, new shoes, right? :-)

I got these black heels by Fornarina while I was on vacation in South Tyrol/Italy. I went shopping with my mom and sister and while my mom and sister both tried on half-boots, my eyes fell on these little innocent darlings...




I could tell that my mom was less than thrilled and my sister asked disbelievingly if I was sure I could walk in them...

I got home and showed them to my boyfriend and he said... nothing... at first, then he asked:

"So when does the show begin?"

SHOW?
WHAT FREAKIN' SHOW?!??

He meant the one where you end up bathing half-naked in an oversized champagne glass...

I had to prove him wrong so I tried to find a way to make them look kind of wearable and fun and not too aggressive looking, and so this is what I came up with.

I do hope I don't look like I want to change my profession any time soon, if you know what I mean... ;-)

MAC Kissable Lipcolour "Super"

Creamy is the first word that comes to mind when describing MAC's Kissable Lipcolours that came out with the Peacocky Collection last year, 2011.

I wasn't sure if I was gonna like the formula, so I had gotten "only" two colors: this one, called Super and another one called So Vain. Both are neutral and wearable, Super is more of a brownish color while So Vain is a corally peach shade.

People often refer to them as liquid lipsticks, meaning they come in lipgloss packaging but feel and look more like a lipstick when applied!

What I like about them is that they are pretty opaque and - as already mentioned - very creamy. MAC designed them to have the “comfort of a lipstick” with the “shiny finish of a lipgloss.” They are non-sticky, which means your hair won't get stuck on your lips when the wind blows :-) but it also means they won't last as long as a sticky formula.

Anyway, I like the two colors that I got, they go well with my skin complexion and I like the feel on my lips, so:

Final verdict:

MAC Super is Super!

Eyes: Urban Decay and ELF

Hi Lovelies!

A quick Eye of the Day before I'm back to work!

Hope you're all doing well and had a great start into 2012! I didn't make any New Year's resolutions except less Makeup and more Clothes! More clothes is always a good resolution, right?!!

I will attempt to skip as many MAC collections as I can this year, try to use up much of my stuff and stock up on my wardrobe instead. So far I did pretty well, I already bought 2 pairs of shoes! :-)

Other than that I want to start sewing. I have already picked out a skirt and bought the cut and the fabric, now all I have to do is try to find the courage to cut into that fabric! I will let you know how it goes. It says "very easy" on the cut, but I guess I will have to call my mom a lot and show her the progress on Skype so she can give me advice!

That's about it, that's about all that's going on!

And so, better late then never: Happy New Year everyone, have a great year 2012 and I'll sure see you around!

Much love
Blusherine
