The very kind Jasmine from Oh My Gosh is giving away the Orly Cosmix FX collection to a lucky winner for her birthday. This look is a special little birthday gift for her. Don't forget to enter her giveaway here.

This look was created using Nyx's Iris Lip Pencil !!
As i mentioned in my IMBB review how the pencil really didn't work for my lips so i just decided to give it a try to see if it works for my eyes or not. I used a pink eyeshadow as a base, then spread Nyx Iris (with a brush don't worry :P) all over the lid. From the center of the eyelid i blended a grey e/s & then blended a dark shimmery black e/s in the outer corner of the eye. The eyeliner was pretty slippery while applying on the lid, somehow i succeeded in applying. As for the waterline, i mixedd my highlighter with the pink e/s halfway, while lining the other half with the grey e/s. I think it's a mixture of smoky & shimmery look. What do you think? Have you ever tried your lip pencil on your eyes?

 
 P.S. ignore the lashes, I am using a really crappy mascara right now. Can't wait for it to get over so i can get another one. please feel free to recommend me your choice of mascaras :)

Color Coordinated Roses

As I specifically mentioned how I don't want this blog to be only a makeup related blog, I had to make sure my first post is so not a makeup/beauty post. This is just a random post of what i wore yesterday. It's this peach color dress with big huge roses on it as you can see in the pics. My mom had made for herself a rose shaped ring (without keeping in mind about my dress) & it actually ended up matching it so perfectly !! The ring is a lighter shade of peach which complements the roses more whereas the beads of the bracelet is a little darker peach which complements the beads below the roses more.

This was a pin which i was about to attach to the upper part of the dress since that was extremely plain & the roses were at the extreme bottom of the dress. But my poor pin got lost right after I clicked this pic :(
My sis was trying to find something & she ended up throwing my dress which had the pin attached & God knows where the pin fell. i couldn't find it anywhere !!

I so love being color coordinated once in a while. What do you think was i over the top with my craze for peach rose :P
How often do you color coordinate your accessories with your outfit? & to what extent?
