Can you guess what was my Halloween costume this year?

That's right... I was Pikachu!

Of course, I was working before the party and when I came home (one hour later than what I was planning), I was in a rush and I didn't have the time to do anything over the top makeup-wise, hence why I don't have any proper picture to show you. I have cropped some semi-decent pictures though, and I hope you will be able to get the idea.

I didn't really have a sepcific idea in mind and I didn't find lots of inspiration on the net so I decided to do something simple but still a little more dramatic than my everyday makeup. I wanted something yellow but of course, I didn't have anything yellow in my stash! I rumaged through my mother's makeup and found the Annabelle Studio 4Show Eyeshadow in Eye-Candy that I gave her some times ago and even though I had to really dig the eyeshadow and even wet my brush for it to properly show on my lid, it still appeared more gold than yellow but, oh well! Then I added some black eyeshadow and eyeliner for definition and ta-dah!

For the cheeks, I used a GOSH lipstick which was a really bad idea because even though I applied loose powder on top to set it, it was a sticky mess and it eventually melted and rubbed off. For the nose, I used the same Maybelline eyliner that I used on my eyes, and it wasn't a great idea either because it rubbed off on everything - and everyone - I touched. Oh well!

My costume was quite simple too - it didn't cost me a thing! I simply used things I already had and I cut the ears and tails in cereal boxes.

OOTN: Sun-kissed skin so hot, we'll melt your popsicle, oooooh oh oooooh

Last week, I met with some friends to have dinner at Chez Milot and then we headed to Radio Lounge in Montreal. This is what I wore to dinner because I didn't have time to change before:

Cardigan: Giant Tiger

Tank top: Forever 21

Shorts: Stitches (those were an old pair of jeans I cute into shorts)

I did my hair before the restaurant to save time, but as you can see in the pictures below, it didn't hold its curls through the day because it was so hot and humid, despite my overload of hairspray. And after the club, it was totally falling flat LOL.

After dinner, I changed to go clubbing:

with Sara and Véronique (I did Sara's makeup!)

 What a dumb smile LOL

Cami: Simons

Necklace: Avon

Studs earrings: eBay

with Sara and Gen

I don't have a picture of my full outfit, but I wore this skirt from Limité:

It is really short (I wouldn't wear it on the street), but it was on sale ($10, if I remember well) and I couldn't get over the pretty lace details:

 ♥♥♥♥♥

The day after, my father found a stray dog in your yard! Don't worry, we found his owner pretty quickly and handed him to her. I bet he ran from the house because he was scared of the storm. Poor doggie!

 It's a shih tzu named Toufou.

The way he sits is just too cute! I was wondering if he had legs problems, though )=

with my mother

We gave him cat food because we were worried he would be starving - and he ate it!

It was nice meeting you, Toufou!

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!
