May Fashion Contest and Maybelline EyeStudio survey

Hey everyone. Just a quick post today (don't worry, I'm planning an outfit post for tomarrow). First of all, because it's been slow getting going with my lack of posting earlier this month, I've decided to cancel the May Fashion Contest. I'll let you know about one for June.

Second, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this survey about my Maybelline EyeStudio make up posts here, here and here. For every complete survey, they will dontae $2 to the Redwood, which is a family support shelter. Thanks!

Springtime in Alberta

So, we have been a bit spoiled with good weather here in March, so now Mother Nature is getting us back in April. This picture was taken out of my back door at about 7 pm when I finally got home from work. April snow brings I don't know.

Here is my first makeup look using Maybelline EyeStudio. For this look I used the gel eyeliner in Eggplant, the XXL PRO mascara in Curl and the Colour Plush eyeshadow palatte in Taupe Temptress. I like the look, even though it's a lot more makeup than I usually wear. I really like the brush that comes with the eyeshadow palette because it has one end that works really good to apply smudgy eyeshadow along the lower lash line.

Also, please remember to enter my outfit contest!

Maybelline EyeStudio

Today my Maybelline EyeStudio makeup arrived. I'm so excited! They've sent me a bunch of eyeshadows, mascaras and eye liners to test out and show off to you guys. EyeStudio is designed to give you the effect of a makeup artist, without actually having one. I'm super excited to try it out, so stay tuned for all of my experimental looks!

Also, please remember to enter my April fashion contest! You only have until the 15th to get your photos in! There is a prize for the winner, so be sure to check it out! Also, it doesn't have to be a brand new photo, you can have posted it on your blog/weardrobe/chictopia etc as well.

Maybelline Pulse Perfection

So, Maybelline sent me a tube of the new Pulse Perfection Define-a-lash mascare so I could take it for a test drive. I figured the best way to show all it off to all of you was with a video blog. I apologize for the less-than-perfect filiming skills, I don't have a tripod and the bf wasn't home, but I think it's ok.



In case you can't watch the video, here's my verdict. I loved the results of this product! My lashes were longer, curled and defined. It made my short lashes look really great. The only downside is that it smudges pretty easily, so be careful not to start crying because it runs easily. Overall, I would probably buy it in a store because of the great results. If Maybelline comes out with a waterproof version, I would definately buy it.

Goodie bags and free samples - oh yeah!

Sorry for disappearing again, I'm trying to make it less of a habit. My job search hasn't been going so well and I am still looking. Today I went to the Holt Renfrew career fair for when they open their new Calgary flagship store. If you're not familiar with Holt, it's a luxury department store that carries high end brands like Burberry, Prada, Chanel, Louboutin etc. and it would be an absolute dream to work there! The job fair was being held at this beautiful hotel and it was a bit intimidating because it was so darn fancy. But all of the girls/ladies who directed me where to go were super nice. I basically filled out a form, had a short interview and that was it. I was so nervous that my leg wouldn't stop shaking. Lucky for me it was blocked from the interviewer by the table! But I did get an amazing gift bag before I left! Besides being in a pretty pink bag, it came with a bottle of water 9which was very refreshing after the stress of the interview), a pencil, a credit card application, a pack of gum, a Missoni perfume sample (I haven't tried it yet) and a shaving balm sample for my bf. I wish all job interviews gave free samples!

After my interview for Holt Renfrew, I went to one of the shopping areas downtown and dropped off a couple resumes. I dropped one at BCBG Max Azria, which I absolutely love, and the girl just took it and walked away, so that's not such a good sign. I also dropped one off at Town Shoes, which I also love and already applied for at a different location. The girl I talked to there did a mini-interview right there and I think we got along really well and I felt like I made a good impression. I'm going for a group interview there on Wednesday morning. Wish me luck!

After that, I met up with one of my friends and we browsed through the shops, including a trip to Holt Renfrew, where we chatting away about finding a job and Louboutins. She was also heading to the career fair, so I walked her to the hotel, then came home. I'm really excited about trying to get a job at Town Shoes, as if you work really hard and sell lots of shoes, you can earn free ones as a reward. How great would that be?!?!

Also, coming soon, a blog post about the new Maybelline pulse perfection mascara! I got all my samples in the mail today, which was super exciting for me! I love getting mail that's not flyers.

If you managed to read all the way down to here, thanks, you are the best! Also, here are so somewhat low quality photos of my outfit for today. I wore the jacket all day because it was chilly, but I love the dress to pieces!

One more thing!! I haven't forgotten about my promise to answer any questions you might have, so please send in the questions so I have something to talk about!
