Gosh nail polish goes crackled...

2011-11-21T06:33:00.000-08:00

Hey Stunning!

Three week ago, I went at shopperdrugmart and I can resist to make a little visit to the beauty gallery. I found new nail polish from Gosh. They lauching their version of the O.P.I. Shatter. They've many color, but I choose the pink one, because I've all other color of shatter from O.P.I. I decided to show you how the product is pretty cool for actually the same price of Sally Hansen Crackled and 3$ cheaper than O.P.I.

Personnaly, I found Gosh crackled nail polish more uniform and constent of all of "shatter" or crackled I try (even O.P.I.).

See you soon!

How I broke up with Lise Watier

2011-11-17T21:21:00.000-08:00

Hi Stunning!

This is not a random-hater post about Lise Watier. It's more like a post about how they truly deceived me tonight. Usualy, I focus on the positive aspects of a product or event, but this time I think it's the little drop of too much... And I need to say how I feel about it.

Tonight, I invited my BFF Izzi to an event that I thought was going to be a-ma-zing. You see, this week I got an email from Lise Watier's marketing departement who invited us to the launching of a new product at the Rosalie bar restaurant on rue de la Montagne in Montreal from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. So Izzi got to my place, we spread our Lise Watier makeup on the table, did our hair and makeup in the fashion of the night (we were instructed to wear something blue) and got dressed really neat for the event. We were so excited to be part of the launching and test new product for our readers and fellow beauty bloggers. Last week, I got the best lauching event from Groupe Marcelle (Annabelle and Marcelle) and kind of expected something similar from Lise Watier. Even Izzi expected something big and since she missed the Annabelle event she was eager to be there this time. And with a compagny as famous as Lise Watier, you can expect a big happening that a blogger would never forget!

Indeed, I will never forget this one but not reasons far different than those I had in mind. We got there at 6:45 pm and the sweet hostess of the Rosalie told us with a sincere sympathetic tone that Lise Watier's Beauty Tribe had already left... Wait a minute. What? So just for the fun of it, I went back to the email I was sent and it clearly says that the event ends at 8:30 pm. Here's a screen shot of what was in my inbox.

The information was everywhere the same, even on the Nightlife magazine's website (http://www.nightlife.ca/event/tribu-beaute-lise-watier-rosalie). Lise Watier's promises are not acurate and it really sucks for me, for bloggers and all people who received this invitation. When I go to an event or a show, I exepect the same if I get there at 6pm or at 7pm. I presume that, even if I'm a little bit late (cause I've actually 40 minutes of bus and metro before getting there) the events will be still ongoing. It cost us 24$ of bus and metro, so actually we could have bought the promoted product of this shitty event, the flash lift radiance vials, for the price of 27$!!! It would have saved us the time and the deception to just go to a pharmacy and buy it... not that we will...

Is not the first time I've been disappointed by Lise Watier. Hell no!

First of all, each time I've applied for the Lise Watier's blogger of the month with my "frenchie" blog etreradieuse.com, Lise Watier took an english blogger. Don't get me wrong here but Lise Watier is well known to be a french canadian compagny! Not hating english bloggers here, you I love you guys, but variety doesn't kill. I know it's strategic marketing but... as a marketer, if I had the task of choosing people to talk about Lise Watier I would pick blogs of both langages so that French and English people can relate to the company/product/whatever, because obviously Lise Watier is a big name for people of the french speaking world.

Oh, and now that I think of it, something else comes in mind. I used to work in a pharmacy of a financially challenged neighborhood and the compagny would ask the store to sell 3 500$ of their products each month! Yep, 3 500$ each MONTH! No representant came to see why we never managed to reach their quota. If they had taken the time and consideration for their customers and business partners in my area, they would have realized pretty fast that this was not an acheivable goal. But they did not care about people.

Funny thing as well: Lise Watier is well known to be a Canadian brand. Think again. Let's play a game shall we? Look at those pictures of products. They all came from Lise Watier and I bought them with my own money. Anything looking fishy here?

Did you see it? Lise Watier's products are not 100% canadian despite common belief, some of them are from USA and Italy. I tought I was buying canadian products. Lise Watier, it was the last time you took me for a fool.

Now here's a dollar or two that I won't be spending on Watier, but rahter on Make Up For Ever or Groupe Marcelle, simply because they kept promises done and they are renowned for their honesty with their customers!

So Lise Watier, thanks for nothing!

UPDATE:

This pics is a copyscreen of their facebook! They posted at 7pm: EVENT CANCEL! If you have to cancel something, you must do it hours before the event, not during the event, and not on Facebook!

2011-11-13T16:21:00.000-08:00

Hi Stunning!
Today I've the thrill for doing a X-mas inspired make-up tutorial. I will do a candy cane look. For realised this look I need a lot of products, I use Sugarpill, Make Up For Ever and a lot of other great brand of make up such as Lise Watier, Marcelle and NYX. Well is more artistic than a wear it everyday, but I've so much fun to do this make up, so I tought it was a good idea to share with you how to do it.

Materials:

-Great makeup brushes (I suggest the Sigma's one)
-Urban decay eyeshadows potions
-NYX jumbo pen in milk (as base color) - (eBeauty.ca)
- Burning heart and Sweet heart palette by Sugarpill (Actually you'll need the Love+(red), Tako(white) and Midori (green))
- Lise Watier's duo Eyeshadow and glitter in color opalescent (I don't use it, but you can apply it on the white)
- Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in black (just for waterline)
- Marcelle waterproof eyeliner in caribbean
- Annabelle glitterrama in kryptonite
- Make Up For Ever Smoky lash mascara!

After do your gorgeous foundation (read this to know how: http://be-stunning.blogspot.com/2011/11/gorgeous-skin-with-your-foundation.html), you'll apply your base and than the NYX Jumbo eyeshadow.

Once I apply NYX jumbo, I apply Tako all over

After I choose Midori to apply to the crease and lids.

Once I'm done with midori, I apply Love + over the crease and midori.

I finish the look with Marcelle Caribbean liner with Annabelle glitterama Kryptonite.

Than I add my Smoky Lash Mascara by Make Up For Ever

Hope you enjoyed this little fantaisist tutorial!

See ya!

Gorgeous skin with your foundation!

2011-11-13T14:15:00.000-08:00

Hi Stunning!
Many people want to know the secret of a gorgeous skin. Actually you need to eat well and take care of you skin. As a oily skin, your skincare must look like this way: Washing two time a day your face and use your lotion and your cream. It's basic but it's work. But if you've a photoshoot or a big date, you'll need a little help. That's why, I'll tell you how to get a gorgeous skin with foundation and concelear. Are you ready to know how?

Before Making ma foundation, I actually look like this. A lot of imperfection.

First thing I do, I apply all over my face the HD Primer from Make Up For Ever. It will help to your make up stay all day long.

My concealer for my under eyes circle is Bourjois Healthy Mix. I apply it with the sigma brush F75

Here's the step how to apply your concealer.

I start to apply my concealer in the internal corner of the eye and I do a triangle.

Then I blend it.

After doing my eye concealer, I do my face concealer with Lise Watier Portfolio and sigma brush F70.

First to use is The green color.

You apply the green on the reddish and red imperfection of you skin. Do not smudge it or blend it.

Then I use the "yellow" one for correctin undercircle or blueish of skin.

The light beige is for inner corner of eyes.

The brown is for countoring the face.

I contour a little bit my nose.

And I go under my cheek bone to structure my cheeks.

I like to do my chin too.

The lilac is for illumating your face.

I use it under my brows.

On the apple of my cheeks.

Under my lips.

I love to do it front head too.

Once all concealer is done, I do my foundation. I use Bourjois Healthy mix.

I apply my foundation with F60. I start with my nose.

Go to the cheeks

After my foundation, I use a MAC Kabuki for apply the HD finish powder from Make Up For Ever.

You roll the kabuki all over your face.

And tadam! You look gorgeous!

All product I use made great result and natural result. You don't have the impression to have a cake face. You can complete with blush, bronzer, mascara and gloss or do a total new look. The foundation is the base of a great make up look.

See you later!

Sigma brush review!

2011-11-10T15:45:00.000-08:00

Hi Stuning!
On my other beauty blog etreradieuse.com, it's not the first time I Talk about Sigma. Here on this blog, I would like to show how those brushes are great and why it's important to have great product, The pics you can see on the left is my b-day gift (on october 3rd). I know they worth 99$, but actually they worth more. Is the same quality of Make Up For Ever or M.A.C. An other little thing that made this brushes special, you know how to use them. Each brushes are mark with a where or how to use it. It's pro brushes, but it's also for beginner.

So what we have in this brush roller? Actually 12 good brushes, but I also buy other brush to really complete my roll.

Eye Liner - E05 - An extra-fine tipped synthetic fiber brush that delivers a precise, firm, even stroke to line the eyes.

Pencil - E30 - Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.

Eye Shading - E55 - Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.

Large Shader - E60 - Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers. It also works great with loose eye shadows or pigments. Can be used to apply color all over the lid or precisely on the lash line. Natural bristles.

Small Angle - E65 - Essential for the application of gel or cream eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. This brush is also excellent for filling out the eyebrows. Synthetic bristles.

Medium Angled Shading - E70 - Angled, tapered, flat top. Ideal to apply highlight shades underneath the eyebrow and on the inner corners. It can also be used for a precise application of darker shades on the crease area. Natural bristles.

Large Powder - F30 - Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.

Large Angled Contour - F40 - The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades. Natural bristle.

Duo Fibre - F50 - Specially designed to generate an airbrushed finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.

Foundation - F60 - Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. It is also recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas. Synthetic bristles.

Concealer - F70 - The rounded, tapered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.

For more 10$, I add F75 which is for concealer too, but he is lager thant F70. It's recommended for larger correction.

Winter inspiration Make Up!

2011-11-08T10:51:00.000-08:00

Hi Stunning!

Originaly this make up was making for my french blog etreradieuse.com. Yes I re-use my stuff. But it's really fresh, I post it this morning! But I cannot each time make exclusivity for here, but I promess you'll have that etreradieuse.com don't have!

This morning I tought about Christmas... I know... We're in November, but it a month before. Make Up is more fun instead of christmas song. Well! My opinion! One month before x-mas, I did a make up tutorial inspired by snow at night. You know the blue and purple color with white color, something really soft where the whiteness of the snow is colored by the night. I think those color are pretty!

I've chose an inspiring image for show you what inspired me exactly.

You'll Need!

Make Up Base HD Make Up For Ever, Concealer and Foundation Bourjois Healthy Mix
(Bourjois are at Shopperdrugmart)
& Finition HD Powder Make Up For Ever!

We also need Urban Decay Eye Shadow Potion,
The smoky Lash from Make Up For Ever, The Aqua Eyes from Make Up For Ever,
The Sweet heart quads from Sugarpill, blush Make Up For Ever
coulor n.9. Those products are really awesome!

I do my foundation first, I'll make you a tutoriel about it in the next day. But I apply the Make Up For Ever HD Base, than my Bourjois concealer and fundation and I finish with the HD Fintion powder of Make Up For Ever.

I choose the color Tako From Sugarpill. Is white as snow ;)

I Apply Tako all over for gave the aspect of snow.

It's look like this once is apply!

Once tako is apply on my eyes, I Choose Sugarpill Afterparty as the blue shadow for this winter tutorial. For be sure that the blue is perfectly blend, I took sigma brush E-40 for apply the color.

I apply After Party over the crease.

Once the blue is done, it look like this.

My third color is a blush from Make Up For Ever. The number of this color is n.9. It's a kind of soft purple-pink color.

I apply this color over the blue and blend it with the blue.

See the result!

You can blend it a little more with Sigma E-40!

I complete the look with Make Up For Ever Aqua Eye and Smoky Lash Mascara.

Et voilà!

And yes sometime I wear wig!

See ya!

Hi Stunning!
Many french people may know me has Josy from the blog etreradieuse.com. I decided with a bunch of good friend to make the same blog (not the same, same, but the spirit of the blog in english). etreradieuse.com is really seen over 1000 people per day around the world. Why Be Stunning? If I've to Traduce Etre Radieuse it's mean Be Radiant, but in french is a common expression for all woman, we want to be radiant. But I don't like it in english, a thought it's sound fake. But Be Stunning, it's mean the same thing, so I up for it.

So what Be Stunning will be about?

Make Up, Fashion and Beauty, and also my little touch of coffee (I'm coffee addicted) and my self.

Thing you must to know about me?

etreradieuse.com is existing for more than a year.
I'm Studying for becoming aesthecian
My first langage is french
