New Year’s Eve Look

liapatrice — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:07:06 +0000

Happy First Monday of the New Year ladies!!! I just wanted to share with you guys some items I recently purchased from MAKE UP FOR EVER and incorporated into my New Year’s Eve look this past holiday. I am super excited about my recent purchases from Sephora.com and although I didn’t use all of them this time, I will definitely be using them together in the near future to show you guys. The colors actually come from their Fall 2009 look that I have been dying over for quite some time. I purchased two of their eye shadows (#92- Matte Brilliant Purple and #169- Iridescent Anthracite) and two of their Aqua Eyes liners (11L- Metallic Purple and 21L- Dark Metallic Grey). Aren’t they pretty!?! And don’t they just look like Big City Beauty colors?

Anyway, my boyfriend and I decided to take it a little easy this year and ended up ringing in the new year at our favorite French bistro in NYC, Deux Amis. So because we weren’t doing anything too crazy, I decided to keep my makeup look fairly simple. I literally used only two eye shadow colors, one eye liner, and mascara! It’s such a simple look that anybody can recreate it with ease. But most importantly, I was so happy to use some of my new MUFE digs.

I started with MUFE ES #169 in the outer corner/contour and blended in M.A.C. ES Crystal Avalanche from the inner corner. I lined my upper lids with MUFE Aqua Eyes 21L (which is literally the same color as the shadow) and the bottom lids with M.A.C. ES Crystal Avalanche. I used YSL Singulier Mascara and VOILA! My 2010 New Year’s Look was complete! I hope you like it and wish you all the Happiest New Year yet!

Until next time… xoxo

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

liapatrice — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:32:23 +0000

Happy BCB Eco-Friday my sweets! And yes, I know it’s really Saturday but I was having technical difficulties yesterday and was unable to post for you guys. So here it is! Better late than never, right!?!

Now I know most of you are writing out those shopping lists of gifts you need to buy for the holiday. And I’m sure a 2010 calendar is listed somewhere on there. So why not give a calendar that not only can be used throughout the entire year, but also brings a new surprise each month?

Botanical Paperworks specializes in making paper products made out of plantable paper. Plantable paper is special handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, wildflowers will grow from the paper. The plantable seed paper contains the highest-quality mix of annuals and perennial seeds including:

Bird’s Eye
Clarkia
Black Eyed Susan
Poopy
Catchfly
Snap Dragon

Botanical Paperworks offers Plantable Eco Calendars made with 100% post-consumer waste collected from local schools and businesses and is embedded with wildflower seeds. When each month passes by, simply plant the page and enjoy wildflowers throughout the year! It’s the perfect eco-friendly gift for those who care about the environment or simply just love planting flowers. With two different giving options (coil bound and recyclable tin) and Scandinavian inspired designs, you can give the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Now that is a calendar I definitely would want to receive!

Until next time my sweets… xoxo
