FOTD + OOTD: You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart, never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out how to love

I've been requested a look using MAC Surf Baby Cheek Powder in My Paradise that I recently won in Michelle's 100 followers giveaway (thank you again Michelle!) and I couldn't wait to show you how gorgeous it is!

L - R: only the blush color, only the overspray, both blended together

As I mentionned above, the sole purpose of this FOTD was to show you how gorgeous My Paradise looked once applied on the cheeks... but of course I forgot to take proper pictures before leaving for school, so I had to rush to take pictures with my phone once in my car, hence the crappy quality. I hope you can still see how gorgeous and shimmery it is? I have found the glitters to be quite chunky and hard to blend but I love how they tone down the blush a bit, because it's super pigmented.

However, I hope it's understandable that I can't simply throw away the products I have previously purchased that have unfortunately been tested on animals - believe me, I wouldn't hesitate if I were rich! My goal is to use up those products but not repurchase them in the future. Also, Gaby's Beauty Blog will no longer accept for review purposes products that have been tested on animals.

FOTD & OOTD: Geneviève & Donald's wedding

Saturday, my friends and I gathered together to celebrate our friends Geneviève and Donald's wedding, and I wanted to share some pictures with you.

The wedding was celebrated in a church somewhere in Laval, but I don't remember which one it was. The reception was held at Buffet Il Gabbiano, which is where my friends and I celebrated our prom!

Unfortunately, I absolutely didn't have the time to snap some close-up pictures of my makeup, but it was a basic gold and brown smokey eye - just like I always do (=

 The bride and the groom

We have known Gen since high school, so it's great to still be in touch with her and to have the chance to be with here in this very special day. Donald is also a great and funny guy!

I got this dress from Winner for only $25! 

 I tried to find pictures of the back of my dress, and those are the only ones I found.

Strapless dresses are so annoying, but I couldn't resist this one... especially in this color! I also wore some bracelets and earrings (the same the bride wore!) that I borrowed from my mother, along with a simple necklace I got from Etsy. I wanted all the attention to be on the dress!

Véro, Gen, Sara and me before entering in the church.

With the girls, agai

With my other friend Gen (who reads my blog - Hi Gen!)

With Sara

 With my boyfriend

 The cake! Yummy ^^

Everybody!

And these are the only pictures I found where you can - almost - cleary see my makeup:


Eyes
Avon SuperExtend Mascara - Black
Annabelle Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette - Shooting Star
Annabelle Glitterama Liquid Eyeliner - Funshine (upper lash line)
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Singles - Vanilla (highlighter)
Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner - Onyx

Face
Annabelle Zebra Bronzing Powder - Haute Gold
Marcelle Minerlas Powder Blush - Natural Glow
Annabelle Satellite Pearl Powder - Celestial Pearl

Lips
Mary Kay SignatureLip Gloss - Pink Diamonds

For my hair, I went for the usual loose waves. At first, I wanted to curl it with a curling iron but I ran out of time. Next time, maybe?

Jean-Coutu and Winners purchases + Mario Galaxy 2 + FOTN + OOTN + HOTN

Friday, I went to Jean Coutu to grab my pills, and, of course, I had to quickly browse the makeup aisle. I found those two mascaras on sale (both were around $2 off):

 Rimmel LYCRA Lash Extender in Black 001

Rimmel LashMaxxx in Exterme Black 003

My boyfriend bought me a box of Vector (because I always eat a bowl of those at his place) and... Mario Galaxy 2!

I spent 5 hours straight playing this game on Sunday LOL.


I loved Mario Galaxy 1, but it was to my boyfriend and his brothers and they decided to sell it for another game before I could finish it )= I'm already at World 3 in Mario Galaxy 2, and the feature I like the most is Yoshi, of course! I also love the fact that you can play with a friend who will be a Luma who follow Mario (you can't control her) and who can immobilize ennemies and even eliminate them. The Luma can also grab coins and star pieces. Sometimes, you can even play as Luigi! This game also appear easier than the first one so far, but it's a lot of fun!


Friday, my friend Stéphanie held a party in her house. My boyfriend suggested it would be cool to make it a cocktail night, so every one attending had to bring a liquor so we could make lots of cocktails. It was fun, but I think I prefer to stick to beer (cocktails tend to be too sugary). Here's my FOTN, OOTN and HOTN:


Face
Annabelle Zebra Bronzing Powder - Haute Gold
Marcelle Minerals Powder Blush in Natural Glow
Joe Fresh Duo Concealer - Light
Annabelle Satellite Pearl Powder - Celestial Pearl 


Eyes
Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara (used as eyebrow gel) 
L'Oréal ColorAppeal Trio Pro Hazel Eyes - Honey Brown
Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Curved Brush Mascara - Blackest Black

Lips
Vaseline (my lips always seem to be dry and irritated!)


cardigan: Stitches
white cami: Stitches
black cami: Simons
shorts: Stitches (old jeans I cut into shorts)
socks: Ardène


 I like to messily curl my hair with my flatiron to give it some volume when I go out.



Here are some randoms pictures of the party:


Oh yeah, one sad thing, though...

Sara accidentaly broke a wing of my ring (blame it on the alcohol!). I will try to fix it, but I'm not sure if it will do )=


Sunday, I went to Winners because the boyfriend needed some shorts. I didn't really need something, but as we were heading to the fitting room, I spotted a rack filled with pretty little prom dresses. I couldn't help but take a quick look (I needed a dress to attend my friend's wedding in August, after all!) and a super cute yellow dress catched my attention. At $24.99, it was such a bargain, so I bought it. Here it is:

It has cute ribbons in the back that you can tie in a bow, but I wasn't able to do so without help, so I didn't took a picture of the back of the dress. The back is made of stretch material, so I don't even have to were a bra (but I will LOL). There's also a zipper in the back.

I was thinking about getting this dress from H&M for the wedding:


But when I saw the one from Winners at $24.99 and exactly my size, I couldn't pass by!

I also spotted this super sexy dress that I wanted to try on just for fun:


I love the zippers! It's a dress made of stretchy denim with decorative zippers. I didn't buy it because I don't know where I could were it. It seems too sexy to go clubbing... It was also $24.99, so I was hesitant... I still don't know if I should buy it or not, but by the time I go to Winners again, my size will probably be gone -_-


Monday and Thuesday, I basically spent all day in the sun in my backyard in a swimsuit (with loads of sunscreen, of course!) hoping to get a tan. It was around 30°!


CAM WHORE CAM WHORE CAM WHORE

 My baby also got to play in the sun, but not for long, as he is used to A/C LOL.


My mother, who works at a local college's library, brought me those three books they just received:
I think I heard about those books (The Vampire Diaries) before, and the story looks similar to Twilight (which I'm absolutely NOT a fan), but I've started reading the first one and it's good so far. We'll see!
