Barbie Pink & Mermaid Green: Nicki Minaj Inspired Look

Pink baby! Yes I love my pink but I do love my bold colours too! Nicki Minaj is Trinidadian and maybe that’s why she is not afraid to wear bold bright colours. I was looking at one of her pictures with her OPI nail polish collection and thought it would be super fun to incorporate her bold Barbie pink lips with mint green eye colour. I’m not good with false eye lashes yet but that would have certainly sealed off this inspired look.

With OPI Pink Friday on my Nails!

Eyes

Ambrosia Cosmetics Creative Colours:

Mermaid Tale (Matte blue green)

Atlantic Star (Matte medium blue)

Havana Cream (Matte peachy brown)

NYX Liquid liner with grow lash serum- Jet black

Revlon photoready 3D mascara

MAC Fluidline in Midnight Blues

The eyes are very simple really. The mermaid colour is all over the lid and just slight above it, blended out with a skin tone colour (peachy brown) all the way up to the brow bone. The blue goes all the way under the lash line and out mimicking the cat eyeliner just longer. Look completed with black spider lashes courtesy Revlon 3D mascara. I really needed those falsies!

Face

Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer

Sacha Second Skin foundation in Perfect Caramel

MAC Mineralize Skin-finish Natural in Medium dark

So how about some Barbie pink lips and mermaid eyes? Not a look I would wear everyday but certainly something different and wearable! Or maybe not!

Happy Pink Friday!

I Found You NYX Cosmetics

He thought he could hide from me forever, but boy was he mistaken! The mighty NYX cosmetics booth that was hiding in Long Circular Mall, Trinidad got trapped by a skillful makeup addict! Me!!!! How could he have avoided me for almost 2 years? Being a northeast girl means venturing into POS and environs is only when I really have to. I hadn’t visited this Mall in about 2 years which was the timeframe given to me as to how long this booth has been in the mall.
Now give me some great customer service will you! Yes please and yes that is what I got here! In addition, you don’t have to wait 6 months before recently launched items from NYX cosmetics are available. These people have it down when it comes to ensuring all the new and existing items are there for you! Everything I asked for was available to me to buy! And Yes I got some goodies! How could I not? I have been in a blush craze lately so why not try my first blush from NYX, Desert Rose. The new xtreme lip creams were available so I…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.

Let’s Go to Work with MAC Melba Blush

My work place is pretty open to makeup but I would definitely prefer to keep a simple office type look while there and maybe on casual Fridays for work and on the weekends have a separate look. What I realized when scanning though my makeup stash was that most of my blushes were way too loud for the office so what better excuse to use to hop down to my favourite MAC store. :)
Now just to mention it, don’t try attempting to get quick service on a Friday or Saturday at the MAC store. It’s usually super busy. The MAC makeup artists are always so helpful though but you may require a bit of patience. But patience I had that day which led me to my beloved Melba blush. I just needed the colour to suit my NC 45 skintone, be a powder blush for simple application and be matte, not shimmery. We did try out Fleur Power first, which is a soft pinky coral colour but I still felt it was a tad too bright. Melba however was a soft, coral peach colour and look really great on me when she applied with h…
