<p><em></em><strong>Lise Watier Aquarella Spring 2012 Collection</strong> brings us sheer pastels and rosy shades to mirror the flowers blooming in the spring.  The limited edition packaging features a flower in watercolour art which is just beautiful to look at.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5953" title="lise watier aquerella bronzer and quartet packaging" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-bronzer-and-quartet-packaging.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />

<em>Aquarella Eyeshadow Quartet, Couleur Folle in Folie Pêche, Waterproof Eyeliner in Violet</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="lise watier aquerella eye products swatches" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-eye-products-swatches.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
<em>Aquarella Eyeshadow Quartet, Waterproof Eyeliner in Violet<em>, Couleur Folle in Folie Pêche &#8212; Swatches</em></em></p>
<p>The <strong>Aquarella Eyeshadow Quartet</strong> ($36, limited edition) is a mix of sheer pastel pink, blue, violet and yellow eyeshadows.  The eyeshadows are smooth, sparkly and mostly too cool-toned for my taste.  It was a bit of a letdown as I was really hoping for something more from the violet shade.  These eyeshadows are better suited for those who wear sheer washes of colour on their eyes.</p>
<p>The <strong>Couleur Folle Mineral Loose Powder Eyeshadow in <em>Folie Pêche</em></strong> ($18, new permanent shade) is a rose gold shade that is more up my alley (and it&#8217;s totally gorgeous!).  The shade is divine for highlighting the eyes or cheeks, or even to turn into a lipgloss.</p>
<p>The <strong>Waterproof Eyeliner in <em>Violet</em></strong> ($17, new permanent shade) is what I wanted the eyeshadow to be: bold and vibrant violet. Nothing bad to say about this really; it&#8217;s just lovely and very waterproof.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5954" title="lise watier aquerella bronzing powder duo" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-bronzing-powder-duo.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
<em>Aquarella Bronzing Powder Duo</em></p>
<p>As a little taste of summer (yay!), I love that we&#8217;re seeing a bronzer in this collection. The <strong>Aquarella Bronzing Powder Duo</strong> ($32, limited edition) is a blend of two powder tones: a lighter peachy shade, and a typical bronzer shade.  Both have fine shimmers that show up glowy rather than gigantic sparkles on your face.  The finish is subtle and the shade can definitely work across many skin tones.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-lip-products1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5960" title="lise watier aquerella lip products" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-lip-products1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a><br />
<em>Waterproof Lip Crayon in Rose Mauve, Rouge Gourmand Lipstick in Guimauve, Gloss Aquarella in Rose Aquarella</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="lise watier aquerella lip products swatches" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lise-watier-aquerella-lip-products-swatches.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
<em>Waterproof Lip Crayon in Rose Mauve, Rouge Gourmand Lipstick in Guimauve, Gloss Aquarella in Rose Aquarella &#8212; Swatches</em></p>
<p>The <strong>Waterproof Lip Crayon in <em>Rose Mauve</em></strong> ($16, new permanent shade) is exactly as the name suggests.  While some may find it boring, this is a lip shade that is universally flattering and pretty.  In my experience, Lise Watier Waterproof Lip Crayons are <em>the absolute best </em>in terms of texture and longevity.  True story: it lasted through a very greasy dim sum dinner, which in my opinion is the ultimate test for a lip liner.  I love this one, go try this or the 18 other shades if you haven&#8217;t had the chance yet!</p>
<p><strong>Rouge Gourmand Lipstick in <em>Guimauve</em></strong> ($19, new permanent shade) is a shade that compliments <em>Rose Mauve</em> very well.  The lipstick has a light fruity scent and provides plenty of moisture for winter-chapped lips.</p>
<p>Finally, finish off your spring pouty lips (right? <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) with a gloss.  The <strong>Gloss Aquarella in <em>Rose Aquarella</em></strong> ($20, limited edition) is a soft rose with mauve shimmers to emphasize your lips.  I like the non-sticky formula and the high shine finish.</p>
<p>My personal favourites from the collection are Couleur Folle Mineral Loose Powder Eyeshadow in <em>Folie Pêche, </em>Aquarella Bronzing Powder Duo, Waterproof Lip Crayon in <em>Rose Mauve</em>.  They are easier for me &#8212; who is tan and warm-toned &#8212; to pull off.  Cool pastel shades (lavenders, pinks, blues) look all sorts of wrong on my skin tone.  However, paler beauties will get more mileage out of the shades; check out my blogging friends <a href="http://www.beauty-reflections.com/2012/01/lise-watier-aquarella-spring-2012.html">Tracy @ Beauty Reflections</a> and <a href="http://www.perilouslypale.com/2012/01/face-of-day-with-lise-watier-spring.html">Perilously Pale</a>&#8216;s reviews for proof. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>These products are available now at Lise Watier counters, Shoppers Drugmart and <a href="http://www.lisewatier.com/eng/gallery-Aquarella/home">LiseWatier.com</a>.  Did any products from the collection catch your eye?</p>

<h4>Written by Sabina</h4>
<p>When I received this eyeshadow duo as part of Lise Watier&#8217;s Fall collection, I instantly thought it&#8217;ll look stunning on light skin.  My makeup-obsessed friend Sabina shares her thoughts on this duo on today&#8217;s post. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5243" title="lise watier misty green duo mineral eyeshadows" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-misty-green-duo-mineral-eyeshadows.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Mineral Eyeshadows in Misty Green</em></p>
<p>Finding eyeshadows that I like and don&#8217;t hate my eyes has always been difficult to do.  I bought MAC eyeshadows in the past, and was always happy with how they performed, but not with how they treated my eyes.  The shadows always left my eyes dry, irritated and just overall a mess due to eczema.  This makes it difficult for me to do dramatic evening looks.  I was so thrilled with this <strong>Lise Watier Duo Mineral Eyeshadows in Misty Green</strong> ($25) because it&#8217;s so lightweight, but the color shows up so well because of the high pigmentation.</p>
<p>The shadows don&#8217;t have any sparkles in them, rather they are more metallic/shimmer looking.  I wear the light green side as a soft highlighter in the tear ducts and on the brow bone, and even on its own all over the lid.  It blends so effortlessly.  I am in love with the dark green/grey colour from this duo.  It shows up amazingly well with my pale skin.  If you want a more subtle look, you can use less.  But if you want a more dramatic evening look, you can build this shadow up to give a nice pop to your crease, and to give definition to the eye.  The texture of the shadows allow for effortless blending; it feels like silk on the skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5217" title="lise watier misty green duo swatches flash" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-misty-green-duo-swatches-flash.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="390" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Mineral Eyeshadows in Misty Green (with flash)</em></p>
<p>I had this shadow on for about 5-6 hours, and it stayed put throughout the whole night.  I wore them to a dinner function, and then had a hot/humid/sticky subway ride home and the shadows didn&#8217;t budge one bit.  There was no creasing at all, which I was totally surprised and happy with.  The staying power of this duo was absolutely amazing.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a look I created using the eyeshadows.  This whole look took about 7 minutes to complete (on both eyes).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5213" title="lise watier misty green duo eye 1" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-misty-green-duo-eye-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wearing Lise Watier Duo Mineral Eyeshadows in Misty Green</em></p>
<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p>I put on Clinique cream shadow in Canvas-Light all over the lid and up to the brow bone. I used the lighter green all over the lid, up to the brow bone and in the tear ducts. I applied the darker green shadow in the crease of my eye, and half way through the lid, blended really well to ensure there were no evident lines. I took the dark green shadow all the way through the lower lash line, only to meet the lighter green shadow by the tear duct. I blended the two together, added Annabelle Black Khol Liner on the lower lash line, tightline, and smudged on the top lash line. I finished it off with L&#8217;Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara on upper and lower lashes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5214" title="lise watier misty green duo eye 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-misty-green-duo-eye-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wearing Lise Watier Duo Mineral Eyeshadows in Misty Green</em></p>
<p>I really fell in love with this duo.  It definitely did not disappoint.  My eyes are so hard to please because they are so sensitive, but these shadows did the trick.  I definitely recommend this duo to anyone who has sensitive skin. If you can&#8217;t find colours that compliment each other, Lise Watier has done it for you.</p>

<h3>Pretty Colours, Eh?</h3>
<p>Aren&#8217;t these colours so pretty on her light skin tone? I gotta be honest, I&#8217;m kinda jealous (just a little). I think it&#8217;ll look all sorts of wrong on my tanned skin, but if you&#8217;re a pale princess, give it a try!</p>

That would be so mean of me. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  When I first saw this palette, it instantly screamed smokey eye to me. Unfortunately I wore this look before I found my bottle of Métamorfix liquid transformer, so these shadows as shown here were applied dry. Just for kicks here&#8217;s a reminder of how the palette looks like:</p>

<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p><strong>For the eyes</strong>, start with a grey cream eyeshadow base (<a title="Avoid Eye Makeupocalypse with Mary Kay Creme Eye Colors." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/02/avoid-eye-makeupocalypse-with-mary-kay-creme-eye-colors/">Mary Kay Glacier Gray Creme Eye Color</a>) all over the lid past the crease. Go over the same area with the grey from the Lise Watier palette, and blend out the edges. Next, pat on the muted blue all over the lid. Take the chocolate brown with a pointed crease brush and map out a slight wing shape on the outer corners. Fill in the outer third of the lid with the chocolate brown. Then, using a pencil/smudge brush, smudge the chocolate brown into the top and bottom lash lines. Clean up the shape with a Q-tip, if necessary. Just above the chocolate brown, apply a matte warm brown (MAC Soft Brown) to warm up the brow bone. Highlight the brow bone and inner corners with the icy white eyeshadow.</p>
<p>Line the top and bottom waterlines with a black liner (<a title="A Tale of Two Annabelle Smudgeliners." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/07/a-tale-of-two-annabelle-smudgeliners/">Annabelle Ohmygoth! Smudgeliner</a>). Finish with a couple coats of volumizing mascara (Annabelle Le Big Show Mascara).</p>
<p><strong>For the cheeks</strong>, keep it natural with a matte pinky brown blush (<a title="Going (Sort of) Au Naturel with NARS Douceur Blush." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/09/going-sort-of-au-naturel-with-nars-douceur-blush/">NARS Douceur Blush</a>) and sweep up and out towards your ears.</p>
<p><strong>For the lips</strong>, apply a glossy nude pink lipstick (<a title="Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Ming: the Perfect Nude Pink and a Welcome Break from Bold Lips." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/10/chanel-rouge-allure-laque-in-ming-the-perfect-nude-pink-and-a-welcome-break-from-bold-lips/">Chanel <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ming R</span>ouge Allure Laque</a>).</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5022" title="lise watier equinoxe quatuor eyeshadows" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-equinoxe-quatuor-eyeshadows.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Quatuor Wet &amp; Dry Eyeshadows in Équinoxe</em></p>
<p>The palette contains a muted denim blue, medium grey, icy white, and a deep chocolate brown.  When applied dry, all the eyeshadows have tiny, barely there sparkles, which keeps the eyeshadows from being chalky.  These eyeshadows are silky smooth; there isn&#8217;t a single dud in the group.  In a pinch, dark haired ladies can even wear the chocolate brown as a brow powder; just apply lightly!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5021" title="lise watier equinoxe quatuor eyeshadows close up" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-equinoxe-quatuor-eyeshadows-close-up.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="590" /></p>

<h3>But Wait&#8230; There&#8217;s More!</h3>
<p><em>(Cue infomercial voice.)</em></p>
<p>When you buy the Équinoxe Quatuor Wet &amp; Dry Eyeshadows, Lise Watier will also throw in <strong>Mini Métamorfix Liquid Transformer</strong> absolutely free. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5028" title="lise watier mini metamorfix liquid transformer" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lise-watier-mini-metamorfix-liquid-transformer.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="426" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Mini Métamorfix Liquid Transformer</em></p>
<p>The Métamorfix Liquid Transformer lets you apply the eyeshadows wet, resulting in a more vibrant colour and sparkle.  Don&#8217;t believe me?  Check out the dry and wet swatches of these eyeshadows.  The wet swatches were done as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Swipe the eyeshadow pan with a dry finger, dip it in one drop of Métamorfix, then swatch it.  This creates a sheer-ish base.</li>
<li>While the base is still damp, go over it with another dry swipe of eyeshadow.</li>
<li>Watch it sparkle. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ol>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier <em>Équinoxe </em>Quatuor Wet &amp; Dry Eyeshadow Swatches (dry / wet with Métamorfix)</em></p>
<p>With the Équinoxe quad and Métamorfix, it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re getting 4 eyeshadows and 4 sparkly, long-wearing cream eyeshadows or liquid eyeliners.  This thing is never <em>ever</em> leaving my makeup bag.  You need this!  I give it a spot on my holy grail.  Stay tuned for a look I wore using these eyeshadows.</p>
<p>The Lise Watier Équinoxe collection is available now until October 2011.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s no reason why you have to smell like sweat or armpits on hot days like today.  Besides your deodorant (<a title="Are You a Smelly Monkey? Remedy That with Lady Speed Stick Stainguard 24H Antiperspirant." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/04/are-you-a-smelly-monkey-remedy-that-with-lady-speed-stick-stainguard-24h-antiperspirant/">here&#8217;s a good one</a>, by the way), the perfect light fragrance will leave you smelling pretty all day long.  Here are several that are tried and tested, regularly worn and loved by me. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Dior Addict Shine Eau de Toilette</em></p>
<p>I have been having a love affair with my bottle of <strong>Dior Addict Shine Eau de Toilette</strong> (around $75) since last summer.  It&#8217;s a light floral with a hint of fruitiness.  The fragrance&#8217;s notes include cedrat, gardenia, raspberry and cedar woods.  I wear this most of the time, but it&#8217;s too bad it doesn&#8217;t last an entire work day.</p>
<p>In my own words: It&#8217;s like I just rolled around in a field of flowers without my allergies going haywire.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Auric Blends &#8216;Love&#8217; Perfume Oil</em></p>
<p>Ahhh, <strong>Auric Blends &#8216;Love&#8217; Perfume Oil</strong> (around US$7) was an unexpected gem of a fragrance I picked up near the Las Vegas airport.  I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s available in Canada though.  It&#8217;s a blend of florals and light powder that blends well with my skin.  Because it&#8217;s an oil, it lasts longer than an eau de toilette.</p>
<p>In my own words: This is how I ideally would smell like when I step out of the shower.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4736" title="summer fragrance lise watier bora bora" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/summer-fragrance-lise-watier-bora-bora.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Bora Bora Eau de Toilette</em></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve encountered <a title="Lise Watier Bora Bora Duo Shadow and Glitter for Summer 2011: The Next Best Thing to Going on a Real Beach Vacation." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/06/lise-watier-bora-bora-duo-shadow-and-glitter-for-summer-2011-the-next-best-thing-to-going-on-a-real-beach-vacation/">Bora Bora</a> before, and now we&#8217;re kicking it up a few notches with <strong>Lise Watier Bora Bora Eau de Toilette</strong> ($50).  My goodness, this is my fragrance crush this summer.  It smells like a mix of florals and a piña colada.  Notes include passion flower, jasmine, rose, amber, vanilla and wood-scented musk.</p>
<p>In my own words:  Tropical beach vacation.  I&#8217;d wear this one on the beach while reading cheesy chick lit and listening to Bob Marley.  <em>&#8220;Baby don&#8217;t worry about a thing&#8230; &#8217;cause every little thing gonna be all right.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4737" title="summer fragrance nuxe body oil" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/summer-fragrance-nuxe-body-oil.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil</em></p>
<p>If you want a multi-tasking workhorse that you can use from head to toe, you need <strong>NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil</strong> ($42 for 100 ml at <a href="http://www.beautyphica.com/brands/nuxe/nuxe-prodigieuse%C2%AE-multi-usage-dry-oil">Beautyphica</a>).  Like really, you can put this one on your face, hair, and body.  Since it&#8217;s an oil, it also leaves your skin with a nice glow, but without being greasy.  This one is heavier than the previous fragrances, but not heavy enough for the day in my opinion.  It&#8217;s a complex one that&#8217;s hard to explain (sorry!).  Trust me though; it really does smell good.  Just read the bottom line below&#8230;</p>
<p>In my own words: I smell expensive.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let&#8217;s pretend this is Bora Bora.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">This was taken in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica actually.  But you know, all white sand beaches with sparkling aqua waters look alike.</p>
<p style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Lise Watier&#8217;s summer collection, called Bora Bora, brings us a few vibrant <strong>Duo Eyeshadow &amp; Glitters</strong> ($25 each) that take me back to my tropical vacation two years ago.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4686" title="lise watier glitters 3" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lise-watier-glitters-3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Shadow &amp; Glitter</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4684" title="lise watier glitters 1" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lise-watier-glitters-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>From top to bottom: <em>Lise Watier Duo Shadow &amp; Glitter in </em>Golden Wasabi, Blue Ray, Wild Orchid</em></p>
<p>The flip top cap reveals a mirror and a cream eyeshadow in a pot.  The complementing coloured glitter screws out of the bottom with a sifter.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Golden Wasabi</strong> is a lime green cream eyeshadow with lime green and gold glitters.</li>
<li><strong>Blue Ray</strong> is a turquoise cream eyeshadow with turquoise glitter.</li>
<li><strong>Wild Orchid</strong> is a bright violet with a mix of pink, violet and turquoise glitters.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4687" title="lise watier glitter swatches" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lise-watier-glitter-swatches.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="449" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Shadow &amp; Glitter in Wild Orchid, Blue Ray, Golden Wasabi Swatches</em></p>
<p>I really like the idea of having a cream eyeshadow and loose glitter packaged together.  As any Glitter Geek would know, loose glitter can get everywhere without a proper base, and these cream eyeshadows actually make a great sticky base for these glitters.  The cream eyeshadows can be applied sheer with one swipe, or built up to be more opaque without any issues.  They dry just slightly tacky to get the glitters to stay in place.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-4685 aligncenter" title="lise watier glitters 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lise-watier-glitters-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Shadow &amp; Glitter in Wild Orchid, Blue Ray, Golden Wasabi</em></p>
<p>You might be asking, what do you use to pat glitter on your lids?  You could use your fingers, or if you want a more precise application, the <strong>Glitter Eyeshadow Brush</strong> ($15).  It puts down glitter evenly and cleans up easily with a few swipes on a tissue. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4683" title="lise watier glitter applicator" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lise-watier-glitter-applicator.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Glitter Eyeshadow Brush</em></p>
<p>Stay tuned for a very glittery look I&#8217;m planning for the weekend.  It&#8217;s been too long since this Glitter Geek has played with some sparkles, and I&#8217;m hoping it&#8217;ll be every bit as epic as I imagine it in my head, LOL! <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>Do You Have Any Tropical Vacation Plans This Year?</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s hot, and I have the beach on my mind!  Where are you going, or where have you gone, this year?  I&#8217;m not going anywhere far this summer, but we are planning for Mexico later in the year. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   It should be fun!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4416" title="lise watier duo glam rouge infini lipsticks" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lise-watier-duo-glam-rouge-infini-lipsticks.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Glam Rouge Infini Lipsticks in 783 Nude Beach Glam, 769 Corail Pop, 954 Bronze Glam, 966 Hot Copper Glam</em></p>
<p><strong>Lise Watier Duo Glam Rouge Infini Lipsticks</strong> ($27) are housed in incredible golden / animal print casing that screams glamour.  Don&#8217;t you agree?  Everybody knows I&#8217;m a sucker for brand imprints on my bullet of lipstick. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4417" title="lise watier duo glam rouge infini packaging 1" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lise-watier-duo-glam-rouge-infini-packaging-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Glam Rouge Infini Lipsticks in 783 Nude Beach Glam, 769 Corail Pop, 954 Bronze Glam, 966 Hot Copper Glam</em></p>
<p>Not to be confused as a lipstick + gloss duo, the Duo Glam Rouge Infini contains a sheer stain to provide a base on your lips, and a complementing lipstick lipstick colour to be layered on top.  The combination is supposed to wear a full 8 hours on the lips.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4418" title="lise watier duo glam rouge infini packaging 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lise-watier-duo-glam-rouge-infini-packaging-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lise Watier Duo Glam Rouge Infini Lipsticks in 783 Nude Beach Glam, 769 Corail Pop, 954 Bronze Glam, 966 Hot Copper Glam</em></p>
<p>For those who aren&#8217;t familiar with the brand, Lise Watier is a Canadian brand available in the &#8220;beauty boutiques&#8221; in Shoppers Drugmart, with quality and price that are on par with department store brands (think Lancôme).  These lipsticks are highly pigmented, have a sweet taste and provide full coverage on the lips.  All the ones I tried had a soft pearl finish.</p>
<p>I first tried it by applying straight from the tube and I really did not like it; it was thick and it settled into lip lines, which is a problem I don&#8217;t usually experience with other lipsticks.  They recommend that you apply the lipstick using a lip brush in very thin layers for best results, and I agree.  The lipstick goes on more evenly with a lip brush.</p>
<p>Even after the lip brush tip, I still don&#8217;t get a full 8 hours with this lipstick.  I get 5 &#8212; 6 hours max &#8212; with regular water drinking.  I wish it lasted longer on me.  <a href="http://www.lipstickrules.com/2011/02/its-definitely-redand-maybe-little-glam.html">Michelle of Lipstick Rules tried Red Carpet Glam</a> and said it lasted through lunch on her.  Maybe I just eat overly oily lunches or something? <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   Either way, I think these lipsticks last long enough for me.</p>

<p>This FOTD is inspired by the Hello Kitty Wild: Stylin&#8217; face chart that was released by MAC in the Hello Kitty Collection last Spring.  I never do my eyes this way so it was fun to try something new.  I thought the result wasn&#8217;t too shabby, no?</p>

<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p>The key to this look is a good pointed crease blending brush; my favourite to use is MAC #226 (LE).  You don&#8217;t have to use this brush, but it will be easier to do the look with a pointed crease brush similar to this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1556" title="mac_226" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mac_226.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="320" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Source: MAC Cosmetics</em></p>
<p><strong>For the eyes</strong>: taking a bright violet (Auraline bright violet), use the tip of the crease brush to trace out a wing shape on the outer corner, and a rounded shape on the inner corner.  Fill in the shape you drew out, and blend out slightly.  Don&#8217;t over blend!  Next, take a golden shimmery pink (MAC Expensive Pink) to fill in the rest of the lid space.  Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, drag and blend the violet into the pink.  To make the eyes pop even more, draw a shimmery white gold (LIFT Cosmetics Moon Dust) line down the middle of the lid.  Blend it in to the pink.  Line the lower lash line with a violet eyeliner (GOSH Funky Violet).  Smudge bright violet on top for more colour intensity and smokiness.  Wing out the top lash line with black eyeliner, then line the waterlines as well. Blend a warm brown (MAC Soft Brown) above the lid colours to warm up the brow bone.  Add mascara and lashes!</p>
<p><strong>For the cheeks</strong>: apply a low shimmer peach (MAC Peaches + MAC Arena) on the apples.  Use bronzer (Lise Watier Havana) to contour the cheekbones.</p>
<p><strong>For the lips</strong>: dab a peach or orange lipstick (Marcelle Flame) lightly all over the lips.  Top with a sheer shimmery gloss (Smashbox Luster).</p>
