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.

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!

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!

Coffee Date Night with Bae

There are some simple pleasures in life that I enjoy. Coffee is one of them and a good lipgloss. Today I can have both of them together while we go for a date with bae! Sacha Cosmetics has blown me away with their new intense lipshine glosses and awesome names. I love when companies try to just be real with their customers even in these small details.

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…

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.
