On Friday, we had Joyce Blok product training instead of class, and it really was interesting. We learnt all about what the products do, and how some of them contain bovine placenta. Yeah, that's right. That vascular lump that attaches to the womb and feeds oxygen and nutrients to a baby through the cord. Some of those products are having us put baby cow sustenance on our FACE!
We did a product knowledge quiz 'game' in the afternoon and we had to buzz- jumping up from our seats- to be able to answer the JB trainer's questions; if we got one right, we got to choose a product from the Joyce Blok range that she had up the front, and I chose their lip balm. It's so nourishing, and it instantly leaves my lips feeling hydrated and supple.
Anyway, today I have two makeup looks in the post, both casual and very simple to recreate. Take a look after the jump!

From Sapphire Blue to.... Green?
So I wanted to do something dark and jewelesque with my makeup, and I chose the beautiful sparkling and very dark sapphire blue from my Blackbox eyeshadow palette... and somehow, as soon as it hit my eyelids, it went green! So either I am colourblind... very yellow... or the colour is just misleading!
Quite disappointing, but look at the now GREEN look after the jump! Let me know what you think.

Sophie-Anne... of sorts.
God, it feels like it's been forever since my last post, even though I've actually had a makeup look just sitting there on my camera; I keep forgetting to upload it. I've been pretty lazy on the makeup front lately, mostly just throwing on some concealer, powder and eyeliner in the mornings before I go to class, but I am absolutely going to do at least one look a week from now on, even if it is just a monday one.
I've also just started on a weight management plan (that sounds so much better than calling it a diet...) that my new gym, Curves, runs. I'm hoping that the combination of the diet and the more intense exercise- I used to go to a vibrating gym, the ones where you work out on a high-intensity vibrating platform, but I didn't really see many results- will help me get to the size I want to be. If only that label on my jeans read 14 instead of... well. Nobody needs to know that!
Anyway, that's my life at the moment, and on to some makeup!
So, last post I said how I wanted to try a look like Sophie-Anne Leclerq, the vampire queen on True Blood, but I thought it was too casual. I went to my mate's place for a party a little while ago, and I decided that I may as well rework the Sophie look into something that looked like an evening look, but still had a certain element of casualness to it. I skipped the red lipstick- it goes so quickly when I'm drinking, and I'm hopeless at reapplying red once I get tipsy..- but the look is essentially still inspired by everybody's favourite ginga vampire. Let me know what you think!
