Louis Vuitton 2011 Cruise Collection

LouisVuittonHollywoodGlamxx1g





















even though i'm not at all a fan of the LV handbags (i find them to be very boring ....shock horror i know!!!)
i fell in love with the Louis Vuitton 2011 Cruise Collection...
Amazing Retro Chic...
not something i would usually go for but since i've been watching MAD MEN nonstop all weekend i think i'm obsessed with the 60's!!!! and with January Jones....she's so gorgeous that it's unfair....

iNsPiReD By: Lessons from Audrey

 i still have a few days off work before i have to face reality..one of my favourite movies to watch around the holidays is Breakfast at Tiffany's...it's like taking style lessons from Audrey Hepburn...it really amazes me that today you can wear any outfit (well maybe minus the hats!) of Holly Golightly's in this movie that was released about 50 years ago ...


the black Givenchy evening gown.
in the film she wore clothes designed by Givenchy and herself.








i love when she was doing her hair and make-up in a rush she spent half that time on her eyebrows :)














my favourite outfit in this movie...tell me that you cant wear this exact same outfit today and be considered super chic and stylish...i can imagine Olivia Palermo wearing something exactly the same..



soft smokey eye and a coral lip...
i think i wore this look last night!




do you love Breakfast at Tiffany's and Audrey Hepburn's style??

FOTNight December Edition

ok so during December I've been using the same products as my
for my day look.. but for nights out like Christmas Parties and clubbing etc I've stuck to the following products i love:





i love using this product for nights out as a primer over my moisturizer and under my foundation.
it's a matte-ifying gel that works wonders on oily skin and really helps my make up stay on all night..
it works immediately after i apply it with my fingers..my skin feels softer and smoother..
i would use it during the day too but since i wear sunscreen and a matte-ifying moisturizer i feel that one more product under my foundation is a bit too much...



as i mentioned in my FOTD November Edition post this is the best foundation for acne prone and acne-scarred skin...but at night i only use it over my problem area as a concealer...you only need the tiniest amount...it is truly amazing 




i use this foundation at night time when i know i need my make up to stay on for hours...
there is nothing worse than ending a great night out by going to breakfast at 5 in the morning only to see that your make up has slided off your face...
this also photographs very well...even though it has SPF in it...it doesn't wash me out...maybe because i bought this in the summer when i was a bit darker..
i apply this on top of my concealer with a Sigma 190.
i didn't like this foundation for everyday use because it made my skin even oilier and didn't look that natural in daytime but for a night time look i love it!!







i like using this concealer during the day too but i always use it when photographs will be taken...
no white panda eyes look with this concealer! conceals dark circles in the most natural way possible






i love, love, love, this product!!!! again another product i use during the evening...
it makes my skin look so fresh and flawless..
its gives you a subtle glow without looking greasy or oily...but doesn't get "cakey" either..
for some reason i think it works better with my Estee Lauder Double Wear than it does with my Mac Studio Fix Fluid!!!
for a day look i prefer something more matte-ifying...



THE EYES:

MAC Eyeshadow in Dazzlelight gives me a gorgeous shimmery pearl sheen..Perfect in the tear duct, over cheekbones, under brow... works great as a highlight...but this month i've been using it swept all over the lid with a tiny bit of Givenchy Shadow Show in No 7 Chic Camel in the crease.. this makes the easiest smoky eye ever..perfect with a winged out eyeliner using MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack and a GOSH Eye Liner Brush Slanted Fine  (i prefer this brush to my MAC 266, it's easier to use and is only half the price)...i finish it off with GOSH Eye Liner in Kohl Black in my waterline and 2 coats of L'oreal Voluminous Mascara.

     














I have been switching up my cheek and lip products but basically this has been my December Nights look...
What was your make up look for the holidays?
