Makeup By Meggy: Sonia Kashuk

I wanted to do a really warm autumn eyeshadow look that incorporates lots of reds and oranges. This is what I came up with. This look can be done with any similar shadows.

I started with Sunset and Sunrise from the itCosmetics Naturally Pretty Palette. I took Sunrise, the matte brownish orange shade, and buffed that messily in my crease, almost to the brow bone. I then took Sunrise, the matte reddish shade, and took a more precise crease brush and applied that directly into the crease.

All over the lid I used the shade Spice Market, a reddish cranberry from Nomad. I used Mac Fix+ to make the shadow more pigmented and bright. Using my finger I then pressed a gold shadow (I used one from Sonia Kashuk) right in the middle of the lid.

I mixed Spice Market and the gold shadow and smudged that along my lower lashline. I finished up the look with Jordana Liquid Liner and Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara.

What do you think of the look?

Getting International Brands at Canadian Drugstores

In honour of Canada Day I thought I make a post about where to find some popular International Brands at Canadian drugstores. There are the typical drugstore brands than you can find just about anywhere. This includes Revlon, L'Oreal, Maybelline, Covergirl, Rimmel, Physicians Formula, Almay and N.Y.C. I will not be discussing these brands. There are also popular Canadian brands such as Annabelle, Marcelle, Quo and Joe Fresh. I will not be discussing these brands either as most of these brands are widely available in Canada. The brands I will be focusing on are usually hard to find in Canada as not many stores carry the brand. To save you a trip down south or overseas to collect some makeup, I thought I'd compile of a list of where some popular international brands can be found in Canada.

*Disclaimer the brands I'm listing may not apply to all branches of stores. Depending on where in Canada you live these brands may be carried in other stores. My information is based on Central Canadian Stores.
