LOTD

Hi,

I am a Twilight/ romance vampire fan. I love vampire romance movies, tv series etc. Watching Twilight has open my eyes to vampire love and now I'm a fan of Vampire Diaries and all romantic Vampire things.

So I saw New Moon, woot woot.... love the animation, the effects. I love the new makeup, the new looks, new people (Dakota Fanning) and the omg I am now loving Jacob. Through the whole movie series, I wasn't even crazy over the whole Bella & Edward love but more so I am intrigued by how they stepped their game up by having such awesome animation/visual effects (yes I'm a visual effects fan). Through the whole movie I wanted to see more of my heart throb Emmett because I think he is a hottie but they didn't give me much of him and then Jacob just seem to lure me in with his toned body. Now I've become a Jacob fan. :)

This makeup look was inspired by the poster; brown tones and just that glowing yellow.

My new blush love

Hi

I know it's been a little time since I post but I had to share. Ok so because I am not a owner of a galore of MAC blushes and I want so badly MAC Raizin powder blush, I decided to dupe it in the meantime until I can afford it.



From the MAC cosmetics website Raizin is matte golden reddish brown blush. I absolute love the sight of seeing this blush on WOC. It gives that radiant sunburnt look to dark tone skin.
So what I did to dupe it: I used NYX eyeshadow in Africa and NYC Sun 2 Sun in Terracotta (the dark color side) combined and it gave me a very pretty color that is somewhat dupable to Raizin. It is not intense but you can intensify it by adding more of the NYC bronzer to the cheek. The only difference is NYX Africa e/s has some shimmer in it and Raizin is matte but a little shimmer doesn't hurt.

**btw I am stating this is a exact dupe but it will do well as it gives the same glow as Raizin on the cheek.


Here are some swatches and pictures of the combination.

NYX Africa e/s




NYC Sun 2 Sun bronzer 'Terracotta'




L-R: NYX e/s, NYC bronzer Terracotta, combination of both





Well lovelies if you haven't purchase the lovely MAC Raizin blush and would like to give this combination a try, do so and let me know.

Wanna see how this shadow looks here is a picture from the website: Wet Seal Urbanvibe Berriful
Btw I read somewhere that Keri Hilson was the spokes model behind this makeup line. hmmm! (That's ma girl... but don't quote me on that tho)

Here is my EOTN:
