International Day of Pink

/ thecorkedreader89 / 4 Comments

Hi guys! If you’re Canadian you know that today is the International Day of Pink! It is the day where we all stand together against bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia by wearing pink. This day was started by two grade 12 students in Nova Scotia who after seeing a grade 9 student bullied for wearing pink, decided to buy 50 pink shirts to distribute to support the student. You can find out more about this day here!

For the occasion, I thought I would round up some of my past pink looks!

Are you wearing any pink today to support the International Day of Pink? Let me know in the comments down below! As I was writing this last night, I had planned on being all decked out in pink today but unfortunately I’m feeling quite under the weather today so I’m curled up in bed. But, I am wearing pink socks!

Mani Monday

Hi guys! I have another Mani Monday for you today! This was actually supposed to be last Saturday’s YouTube video but the footage was completely unusable. So, here we are! I wanted to do a simple Valentine’s Day manicure that would be quick and nearly effortless.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Original (1 coat)
OPI Hey Baby (2 coats)
OPI I Love Applause (to make the hearts on ring finger)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat (1 coat)

To make the hearts I used a medium sized dotting tool and connected two dots by gently dragging them down diagonally. It’s much easier than it looks!

What do you have on your nails today? Let me know in the comments down below!

xoxo,

Robyn

Hi guys! Today I’m going to show you a look that I wore last weekend to a Bridal Shower. I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette to create a soft and feminine pink look. The end result was very simple and would pair well with any outfit, which was perfect because at the time I had no idea what I was going to wear!

Let’s get into it!

This look was perfect for an afternoon of celebrating my friend’s upcoming wedding! I tend to stick to the first half of the Naked 3 palette when I use it, the pink shades are just so pretty and shiny. The Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in Candy Glow added a perfect hint of colour to my cheeks, while the MAC lipstick in Chatterbox kept the pink theme going strong!

What is your favourite soft and feminine make up look? Let me know in the comments below!
