Fashion Beauty Panel | Colour For Your Eyes

This weeks Beauty Panel challenge was inspired by a celebrity trend of wearing coloured eyeshadows. The challenge was to show how to wear coloured eye makeup that would compliment your eyes. Instead of playing it safe and sticking to the browns, bronzes, golds, coppers and pinks that I I tend to wear, I decided to go with a neutral eyeshadow and a thick winged liner in a periwinkle blue. I've actually been wearing this eyeliner quite a bit lately, so I wanted to show it off.

Monthly Favourites | August 2014

I'm pretty late on posting my August monthly favourites! During August I was loving my Revlon lipstick in Primrose. I wore this lipstick almost everyday. A late edition into my august favourites was the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara. I had been wanting to try it for a while, so when Brittany of Life, Set Sail said she loved it and suggested I buy it while we were out shopping I knew I had to have it! It has quickly become an essential part of my makeup routine. I also have been loving this purply-blue eyeliner from Maybelline. It caught my eye when I was picking up some things at Shoppers, and I've worn it a couple days a week since then. I used it in a post for the Fashion Magazine Beauty Panel if you want to check that out here. Next up on my monthly favourites list is my Wild Rose Beauty Balm* by Neal's Yard Remedies. When I use this before bed I feel like I'm having a luxurious spa day. The scent is so soothing and relaxing, and the perfect edition to my nightly routine. I've mentioned the Skindinavia Primer Spray* in a favourites post before, but I used this non-stop all August. I just love how light it feels on the skin. Finally I've been trying a new day moisturizer by Optimera*, a new skincare line that recently launched in Alberta. I am loving it. My skin has felt soft and hydrated during all of August.

What makeup and beauty products did you find yourself using a lot during the month of August?

Somehow I forgot to post last weeks Fashion Beauty Panel look! Last weeks challenge was wearing statement eyes and lips at the same time. I decided on orange-red lips and winged eyeliner which I created with a gel eyeliner and bent liner brush.

Prismatic World Tour and Meeting Katy Perry

Last week Katy Perry was in Calgary for her Prismatic World Tour. My fellow Calgary blogger Brittany of Life, Set Sail and I were lucky enough to get to get the chance to go to the concert. On top of that we got to meet Katy herself! I could hardly contain my excitement when I found out that we had meet and greet passes! 

We were told to meet at the CoverGirl birthday cake where we would meet with someone from Katy's team. From there we were escorted to the Prismatic Lounge, which was an area behind the scenes that was draped in sparkling and glittery fabric and furnished with glowing sphere chairs. 

We met Katy right before the concert started, so she was dressed in her outfit for her first performance. About five minutes before we met Katy we were told to line up. There were a few more people that had meet and greet passes, and the first one to meet Katy was a little girl and it was definitely the highlight of the meet and greet! When my chance came up it lasted all of 30 seconds, but it was still amazing! Let me tell you, she is stunningly beautiful in person! I was mesmerized, so when Katy commented that she liked my jacket all I could manage to say was a squeaky, "Thanks!" 

Once we met Katy we were ushered out of the backstage area to take out seats for the concert.

Katy Perry puts on an amazing show! Definitely the highlight was the set and costumes changes, as well as some of the acrobatics and stunts that her dancers performed. The show started with Katy appearing out of a pyramid to perform Roar. The most memorable performances for me were Dark Horse where she appeared on a giant horse, Walking on Air where she flew over the crowd, and This Is How We Do, although the acoustic set was also unreal. The show was divided into six sections, and I think my favourite part was the "Cat-oure" Intro/Interlude before she performed Hot and Cold. I could not stop laughing! It was just too bizarre not to love!

I've never really been the type of person to be into celebrities or pop stars, but since meeting Katy Perry and seeing the concert I have to admit I'm a little obsessed! Her new song This Is How We Do has been on constant repeat.

Thank you Jenn and CoverGirl for making this all possible!
