Last week FOTDs + OOTDs + NOTW

Hello! I've been busy with school lately as the end of the semester is coming fast, and I won't have any rest because I'm starting summer classes on May 10 (the semester ends on May 7). I still have 3 exams coming in the following weeks, but one of them doesn't require study as it will be a simple translation from English to French, yey!

Monday of last week was my first real day at school since the strike finally ended after around a month an a half! Yey, I'm finally able to do some constructive things on weekdays LOL.

 This is not really a FOTD as it is the only picture I could snap before leaving the house. I don't even remember what makeup products I was wearing xD

cami: Stitches

vest: Stitches

leggings: eBay

heart-shaped earrings: Ardène

necklace: Giant Tiger
boots: Giant Tiger

I'm totally getting addicted to those leggings! They are perfect for this strange weather (not warm enough for shorts or skirts, but not cold enough for wearing a coat). They are even warmer than my usual skinny jeans!

Tuesday, I played with some of the new Annabelle mineral line products I received to test and review.

  (messy hair... I'm on a no styling tool regiment)

Annabelle Mineral Powder Blush - Au Naturel
Annabelle Sattelite Pearl Powder - Celestial Pearl

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara - Very Black

Lips

• Myth is my favourite shades out of the three Mineral Pigment Dusts I had the chance to test. It's such a unique shade! It a gorgeous shimmery gray-brown, depending on the lighting.

• The Mineral Powder Bronzer is a little hard for me to apply since my CoverGirl Minerals Powder Brush is too large for the jar, but I'm doing better every time. Maybe I should get a Kabuki brush?

• The Mineral Powder Blush is perfect! Just like its name, it really delivers a natural glow.

• I'm still not sure how I'm really supposed to use the Sattelite Pearl Powder, but I use it as a highlighter as it gives a really subtle glow.

Friday, I experimented with another of my new Annabelle goodies: Mineral Pigment Dust in Violet Vibe. I had an exam and it was the last time of the semester that I had class on Friday. After school, I met with friends to have dinner at my house. We cooked meat macaroni (is that how you say that in English?) with melted cheese on top. D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!

(excuse my right brow... I over-trimmed it and tried to fill it with eyeshadow because I don't have a matching eyeliner LOL)

Violet Vibe is a greatly pigmented shimmery purple. I might try to use with a black base under it to make it appear darker next time.

I also attempted for the first time to achieve gradiant nails:

without flash

I used:

- Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear - First Blush
- Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear - Rockstar Pink
- Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base & Top Coat

 Of course, it's far from perfect, but it's fun and so simple to do!

I'm now on Twitter! + Weekend FOTD and OOTDs

I'm pleased to announce you that I now have a Twitter account! For now, I will be using it exclusively for my blog, so feel free to follow me and I will follow you back!

I was planning to show you my FOTD and OOTDs of Friday and Saturday in my last post about the Marcelle Warehouse Sale, but I thought the post was already long enough, so I decided to do this in a separate one.

Friday, I had class at Uni and around 7:00 PM, I attended Groupe Marcelle Spring 2010 Warehouse Sale.

Sunday is the day my mother and my little brother spend driving around to make my brother practices for his driving exam, so to make the most out of this, they stop at shops where my mother needs something. I like to go with them sometimes, as my mother and I like to browse through Dollarama, drugstores like Jean Coutu, Shoppers Drug Mart, Uniprix, Brunet and sometimes, Wal-Mart and Giant Tiger. Today I finally found some cute flats (I've been wanting new ones since the end of last summer!) at Wal-Mart and I also needed anti-slip pads for one of my pairs of high heels.

I love the design! And they were only $15.

The anti-slip pads are made of gel. They costed $5.98. I needed them for those shoes:

I love them, but the heels is so high, my feet always slip to the front, and it makes my toes hurt! I hope those pads will solve the problem.

Mail + FOTD + OOTD + Forever21 find

I've got packages in the mail today! It's nothing too exciting, but it's so fun to receive unexpected packages ^^

My mother suggested me to sign up for Being Girl to receive free samples of Always and Tampax (click here to register), and here they are! They sent me:

• 1 Tampax Pearl Lites
• 1 Tampax Pearl Regular
• 2 Always Thin Pantiliners
• 1 Always Ultra Thin Slender Pad
• 1 Always Clean ultra Pad
• $4 off coupon for a Venus Embrace
• Sandylion smiley stickers
• 1 bookmark
• cute resealable bag 

BBM sent me a paid survey to complete about radio stations. They even included a $5 bill!

The boyfriend wanted to go wander in downtown Montreal for the day, so I thought I'd share my FOTD and OOTD with you.

I'll end this post with the only thing I bought today: 

two ribbed tanks from Forever21 (4.50$ each)

I'm addicted to ribbed tanks (especially long ones). They are so easy to wear as they go with everything! I wanted a yellow one and a white one, and at this price, I couldn't say no. Not to mention that it's my first purchase from Forever21. The first time I went by to take a look, it was crowded, so I returned today. I soptted nice things, but they were too expensive for me-_-
