Event Ready

Hi all. After a long and insanely busy week (or two...) I'm finally DONE with the event that has been eating up my time. I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would've liked but here you go:

Nails: Anacapri Pink by Borghese | Ring: RW & Co | Dress, top and blazer: H&M | Shoes: Ardene

I work at a non-profit organization that prevents the sexual exploitation of children and youth. Our organization's colours are fuchsia and gray, hence my slight touches of pink here and there. I didn't want to be overtly fancy at a business formal event so I went with all black but popping accessories paired with some nudies on my feet tee hee :) Thought I looked damn professional.

Anyway, the event turned out so successful and we got great feedback for it so it is definitely rewarding despite the fatigue that comes along with it. We were able to fundraise a good sum of money so I'm just happy that nothing went wrong. I also ate like a pig last night with all the unlimited food there so I can certainly say I feel like I gained a few pounds. The end.

Nude Lips

This post refers to the previous "hump day" post! Despite the fact that I love beauty products and playing with makeup I'm not huge on USING a lot of them. Hence, I'm quite a noob when it comes to it. Hopefully, we will leave Belle to keep me up to date with the must-buy products! I'm one of those that sticks to a daily face wash and moisturizer.. and the staple eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, eyelash curler, mascara, etc. etc. My biggest collection however has to be my lipstick. I don't think there's a single colour I wouldn't want to have on my lips. An old habit of mine was to buy a new lipstick every month which eventually died.. but maybe it's time to start again ;). One of my favourite looks for my lips is definitely nude, keeping it au naturel!

MAC Viva Glam Amplified 'GaGa 2', Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss '#05 Frosted Camellia'

The first coat used is my absolute favourite lipstick that goes with me everywhere. It's a part of MAC's Viva Glam line and it's the second Lady GaGa lipstick released within MAC. I have searched long and hard for a perfect nude shade and this is the one for me! It has a matte beige tone which applies easily and looks great on it's own. For this look, I've added a sheer gloss which also has a slight nude undertone. They work extremely well together to give a great finished look.
