I actually just cleaned out a lot of unused makeup that I had been holding onto for years! This is the stuff I always use. I'm addicted to Sephora and MAC. :)

Dark-haired Hollywood beauty Yvonne De Carlo (1922–2007) was a Canadian American actress, singer, and dancer whose career in film, television, and musical theatre spanned six decades. From the 1950s on, she also starred in British and Italian films. She achieved her greatest popularity as the ghoulish matriarch Lily in the TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966).
Yvonne De Carlo was born Margaret Yvonne Middleton in 1922 in West Point Grey (now part of Vancouver), British Columbia, Canada. She was the only child of William Middleton, an Australian-born salesman, and Marie DeCarlo, a French-born aspiring actress. Her father deserted the home, leaving her mother to make a living as a waitress. When De Carlo was ten her mother enrolled her in a local dance school and also saw that she studied dramatics. De Carlo and her mother made several trips to Los Angeles to seek fame and fortune in Hollywood. In 1940, she was first runner-up to Miss Venice Beach, and she also came fifth in the 1940s Miss California competition. A year later, she landed a bit part as a bathing beauty in Harvard, Here I Come (Lew Landers, 1941). She also appeared in the three-minute Soundies musical, The Lamp of Memory (1942), shown in coin-operated movie jukeboxes. Other roles were slow to follow, and De Carlo took a job in the chorus line of Earl Carroll. During World War II she performed for U.S. servicemen and received many letters from GIs. She got her big break when she was chosen over a reported 20,000 girls to play the lead role as a European seductress in the Technicolor spectacle Salome, Where She Danced (Charles Lamont, 1945), with Rod Cameron and Walter Slezak. She played a dancer during the Austrian-Prussian war who is forced to flee her country after she is accused of being a spy and ends up in a lawless western town in Arizona. Producer Walter Wanger described her as "the most beautiful girl in the world." Though not a critical success, it was a box-office favourite, and the heavily-promoted De Carlo was hailed as an up-and-coming star. Universal signed her to a long-term contract. De Carlo was given a small role in the prison film Brute Force (Jules Dassin, 1947), starring Burt Lancaster. Two years later she was again cast opposite Lancaster in her first important role in the classic Film Noir Criss Cross (Robert Siodmak, 1949). Claudio Carvalho at IMDb: "Burt Lancaster has an outstanding performance in the role of an honest man obsessed with his former wife, who becomes a criminal trying to regain the love of his fickle ex-wife. Yvonne De Carlo is also perfect and very beautiful, in the role of a cold and manipulative woman, being a perfect 'femme-fatale'." However, Universal preferred to cast De Carlo in more conventional fare, such as Casbah (John Berry, 1948) a musical remake of the 1938 film Algiers, the adventure film River Lady (George Sherman, 1948), and Buccaneer's Girl (Frederick de Cordova, 1950). In the latter, she played a New Orleans singer who becomes involved with a Pirate Lord (Philip Friend).
When Yvonne De Carlo was in England making Hotel Sahara (Ken Annakin, 1951), she asked Universal to release her contract even though she still had three months to go. The studio agreed. De Carlo had always travelled extensively to promote her films and her appearances were widely publicised. In 1951 she became the first American star to visit Israel. De Carlo regularly played in European films from now on. She starred in the British comedy The Captain's Paradise (Anthony Kimmins, 1953), about a captain of a ferry boat between the restricted British colony in Gibraltar and Spanish Morocco (Alec Guinness) who keeps two wives in separate ports. De Carlo of course played the hot-blooded mistress, Nita in Tangiers. She persuaded director Anthony Kimmins to talk Alec Guinness into doing the mambo with her in a nightclub sequence. Guinness, not usually thought of as a physical actor, consented to a week's worth of dance lessons from De Carlo and the sequence is one of the film's highlights. In England, Yvonne De Carlo co-starred with David Niven in the comedy Happy Ever After (Mario Zampi, 1954). Her film career reached its peak when director Cecil B. DeMille cast her as Sephora, the wife of Moses (Charlton Heston) in his biblical epic The Ten Commandments (1956). It was to be her most prominent role. She later played a lead performance in the Civil War drama Band of Angels (Raoul Walsh, 1957) with Clark Gable, starred as Mary Magdalene in the Italian biblical epic La spada e la croce/The Sword and the Cross (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1958), with Jorge Mistral and Rossana Podestà, and had a supporting role in the Western McLintock! (Andrew V. McLaglen, 1963) featuring John Wayne. In 1964, De Carlo was deeply in debt, her film career was over and she was suffering from depression. Then, she was offered the role of Lily Munster, the wife of Herman Munster, in the legendary TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966). The Munsters are a weird but honest family. Herman, the father (Fred Gwynne) is Frankenstein's monster. Lily, his wife (Yvonne De Carlo), and the cigar-chomping Grandpa, her father (Al Lewis) are vampires. Their little son Eddie (Butch Patrick) is a werewolf. Their niece Marilyn (Pat Priest) is the only normal one. She is the ugly duck of the family. The sitcom went on the air in 1964 and lasted only two seasons, but achieved a kind of pop-culture immortality in decades of reruns and movie and television spinoffs. Wolfgang Saxon in The New York Times: "In her cape and robes and with a streak of white in her black hair, Miss De Carlo’s Lily was a glamorous ghoul and a kind of Bride of Frankenstein as a homemaker, “dusting” her gothic mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane with a vacuum cleaner set on reverse. The humor mostly derived from the family members’ oblivious belief that they were no different from their neighbors." After the show's cancellation, De Carlo reprised the role as Lily Munster in the Technicolor film Munster, Go Home! (Earl Bellamy, 1966). After 1967, De Carlo became increasingly active in musicals, appearing in off-Broadway productions of 'Pal Joey' and 'Catch Me If You Can'. Her defining stage role was as Carlotta Campion in the original Broadway cast of Stephen Sondheim's musical 'Follies' (1971-1972). Playing a washed-up star at a reunion of old theatre colleagues, she introduced the song 'I'm Still Here', which would become well-known. Yvonne De Carlo married stuntman Robert Drew Morgan, whom she met on the set of the Western Shotgun (Lesley Selander, 1955). They had two sons, Bruce Ross (1956) and Michael (1957-1997). After Bob Morgan's untimely accident, De Carlo was dismissed from her contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1960. Morgan became an alcoholic and they divorced in 1974. De Carlo kept appearing in films and TV series. After her role in the TV Movie The Barefoot Executive (Susan Seidelman, 1995), she retired from acting at age 72. In 2007, she died from heart failure in Los Angeles. De Carlo was 84.

Bom gente, a Copa tá ae. Eu não gosto de futebol, mas já havia pensado em usar a Copa do Mundo como desculpa pra usar/desencalhar meus esmaltes amarelos. :P
O primeiro deles é esse Sephorinha, que comprei numa promoção no site da marca. Não sei descrever tons de amarelo, esse pra mim é amarelo amarelo, huahua.
Fazendo jus aos esmaltes amarelos que tradicionalmente tem fórmulas ruins, esse aqui foi a treva pra passar. Me irritei um monte tentando fazer um acabamento minimamente decente e quase desisti da ideia de ficar usando amarelo.
Mas, quando tudo acabou e deixei desse jeito mesmo e vi como ficou, adorei, ainda mais porque ao vivo essas falhinhas quase não aparecem. Passei três camadas e consegui tirar foto antes que as bolinhas aparecessem. Esta é a QUARTA esmaltação seguida em que as unhas enchem de bolinhas, o calor aqui tá demais @_@
This Sephora shopping bag was filled with triple chocolate fudge and yellow butter cake and a filling of Oreo buttercream! Makeup pieces were molded white chocolate. Now that's my kind of shopping spree!
Se você procura por um esmalte verde pastel que seja fácil de aplicar, o Teeny Bikini é uma ótima opção. Não precisei usar base fosca para ajudar na aplicação. Ele tem uma fórmula ótima e o pincel achatado de ponta arredondada ajuda bastante a distribuir uniformemente o esmalte nas unhas, evitando manchas.
Aplicando com muuuuuito carinho, se consegue uma ótima cobertura logo na primeira camada. Mas como não tenho essa habilidade, algumas manchas foram inevitáveis na primeira camada, mas a segunda corrigiu tudo e foi só amor.
Secou bem rápido, com ótimo brilho. Não usei topcoat nele quando estava sem carimbo. Aí, não sei se vocês conseguirão enxergar, mas eu carimbei usando uma plaquinha da Bundle Monster, a BM-411, uma estampa de notas musicais bem linda.
Usei o esmalte branco da La Femme e ficou bem fraquinho e quase não apareceu nada nas fotos. Tenham fé que vocês enxergarão a estampa haha!
Eu usei:
1x Nutribase Pró Fortalecimento, Colorama
2x Teeny Bikini, Sephora
Carimbo com esmalte branco da La Femme
Placa BM-411
1x topcoat, Risqué

Sephora returns every week-end where her mother used to sell flowers in Rue des Plantes in Paris. She sets up her beautiful world, she speaks to everyone, spreading happiness and love all along the street. Rue des Plantes, Paris
Today saw the opening in Sydney of Australia's first Sephora cosmetics shop. As can be seen, women waited in line for hours in the hot sun so that they could lay their hands on the products of this new company.
My everyday makeup, From right to left:
2 shades of Boing concealor from Benefit (01 and 02)
MAC studio Fix foundation , 130
Nars Portrait of Paradise Blush/Bronzer trio (the blush is used up so I have the next product)
CORALista blush by Benefit
3 eye products: Sephora eye pencil (purple today), Revlon brow pencil, Benefit Bad Girl Lashes mascara. I use the highlighter from the Nars trio (above) on my eyes also.
Revlon lip liner and L'Oreal Infallible lip gloss.
That is it, just 10 products (unless I use the 2 shades of concealor like I am doing now which makes 11). This will take 10-20 minutes to apply, averaging 15 minutes to do my makeup.
For night makeup I will sometimes add eyeshadow (usually an Almay trio) and a more dramatic mascara, maybe a little more blush and lipstick.
Oiiiii... Voltei pra mostrar esse lindo pra vocês!!! Ganhei esse sephorinha de natal do meu benhê junto com outros bem divos e chiques (isso inclui um Dior =O) de muito bom gosto dele!!! Genteeeee, que qualidade desse esmalte hein?? Pincel, pigmentação, brilho, consistência... tudo perfeito!!! Dá vontade de passar 50 camadas de tão gostoso que é pra esmaltar!!! hehehe... Foram 2 camadas com uma ótima cobertura já na primeira :) como não aguento ficar só com um cremoso nazunhas, usei uma camada do Cometa - Super Pérola - no anelar e 1 camada do 368 Glitter Forte - Hits - no dedo médio! Finalizei com top coat colorama... Não encontrei o nome ou a numeração do Sephora no vidrinho, alguém sabe onde fica????
Adorei essa esmaltação, e vocês gostaram??
Bjs e até logo com mais duas manis que quero postar!!! ;)
I was invited to a makeover special event by the ladies at sephora and was surrounded by other ladies getting makeovers too at the same time. I was made to feel very welcome and was pleased with the final result.
Azul mais lindo! Amei a cor, parece com o Azul Royal da Colorama, mas o da Colorama é, na verdade, mais escuro e não tem o toque neon e levemente lilás do Myrtille.
Até tentei tirar uma foto do Azul Royal com o Myrtille para vcs verem a diferença entre eles, mas vcs sabem como é dificil capturar essas diferenças de nuances de cor...
O vidrinho é muito fofo, de 5ml, e o pincel chato é daqueles que a gente adora, uma delicia de esmaltar!
Passei duas camadas e não usei top coat, fácil de limpar.
Bjos a todas e um otimo fds! uhu!
