Red make-up wearable? Sure!

One of my favorite easy ways to pop some color on my face is by adding it to the outer corners of my eyes.
 
Be it blue, red, yellow, green, doesn’t even matter, it always works!
 
But I feel so bad for red because it seems to have a bad reputation when it comes to make-up!
Sad because your blood is red, a lovely flushed face is red, red can be a such healthy and fresh shade!! :)

NOTD: Fresh Sprin(g)kles

Hi!
My name is Anouchka and i’d like to join the nails of the day – club. ;)
 
But all of you NOTD people out there with those gorgeous posts… making it seem so easy…
Let me tell you, it’s not an easy virtue!
 
Those sparkles are about as hard to catch as a red dot for a cat.
One minute I see them, and *poof*.
 
Posessed little things, playing with my sanity.
 
I ended up even snapping pics at the local post office when the clerk looked away.
Hey, they had good lighting.
 
 
The polishes that jumped into my hands today are:
 
~ Essence Studio Nails (base coat)
 
~ Catrice Ultimate Nudes in 080 Sing: Champs Élysées (one coat)
 
~ Essence Special Effect Topper in 08 Night In Vegas (top coat)

FOTD: Recreation of the MUD look last week

I was soo flattered when I read the comment section on my last MUD post!
A tutorial request is probably one of the sweetest things to hear on a make-up related blog!! :D
 
So as promised I translated that look from Elien’s eyes to my own eyes, so you can translate it to your eyes.
And then we shall all have awesome eyes. ;)
 
I don’t own the actual MUD shadows so I improvised.
There’s nothing wrong with some creative replacing!
 
The orangey bronze will work well with blue/green hues in your eyes, and the olive will bring out any amber.
 
Tripple whammy..!

HAHAHAA I found myself a guinea pig.
Yes I did.
 
Time for a formal introduction.
 
bieke
 
Or not so formal.
 
She kindly offered herself to me and said I could do whatever the heck I felt like doing.
Music to my ears.. :’)

New brush cleaning routine: inspired by the Sigma glove

Completely inspired by the (in)famous Sigma oven mitt – I mean cleaning glove. ;D

I present to you my latest technique for washing brushes!
 
Putting some shampoo in my hand and swirling the brush in it worked just fine.
However the added structure to the surface does seem to make the cleaning – hassle a ton faster.
 
BUT I didn’t want to spend $40 on the mitt, so here’s my fast budget way of deep cleansing them!
 
 
What we’ll need:
