Sacha Summer Sunset

It's summertime beautiful! Well it's been very hot over here in the Caribbean and one of my favorite things to do is to watch the gorgeous colours of the sunset especially if I am in Tobago on vacation. I am always inspired by the rich, vibrant sunset colours and today's look translates this into makeup. 



Local brand Sacha Cosmetics has been introducing more exotic creations to their makeup line and their Matte Me Fuchsia lipstick, Shameless Cinnamon Blush and 6 piece Smokey Purple eyeshadow kit were the three main elements for my sunset inspired look.

Get the Look: 
Face Preparation
  • Moisturise your face and then apply your primer of choice. I used Sacha's Mattifier.
  • Apply your foundation lightly for a natural look and for those pesky under eye circles, apply a peach toned concealer and set. My favourite combination of concealer and setting powder is NYX concealer in Glow and famous Ben Nye Banana powder 

The Eyes Have It:
  • Apply a deep purple base all over lid
  • Using Sacha 6 piece Smokey Purple eyeshadow kit, apply the deep reddish based purple all over base. 
  • Next, apply the deep blue shade to half the lid over purple
  • Blend the two together using the plum shade
  • Using a large fluffy blending brush, apply the hot pink over the purple bringing the color into the crease
  • Next, use an Orange toned color blush called Shameless Cinnamon to blend out the pink.
  • To complete the sunset, use a Golden highlight under the brow.
  • Line the under eye area with a purple liner from NYX Slide On called Pretty violet, set with the purple shadow.
  • Brighten up inner eye with the shimmery soft pink


  • Add Maybelline the Rocket volum' express mascara in Blacken brown to define and add volume to your lashes.
  • Complete the eyes with a gold eyeliner in the bottom waterline to open up the eyes from the dark colors. I'm using Revlon Luxurious color eyeliner in antique gold.

Lippie Love:
  • Sacha has a new line of lip colours called Matte Me Lipsticks. (Review coming soon!)
  • Here I'm completing my summer sunset with a pink called Matte Me Fuchsia.


Now add some beachy waves and you are off to enjoy the sun, sea and sand. I'll be on the seashore until the sunsets to watch those gorgeous colours :)

Revlon Sculpting Blush Palette in Pink

I have never been so disappointed in a Revlon product before… until now! Maybe I chose the wrong colour for my skin-tone but there are so many other things about this palette that makes me think I should have bought some more lip butters instead. Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
