Skunks don't smoke.

Hello again everyone!

I hope you all have had a nice week!
Personally I was in a bad stomach flu, and I really wasn't able to even touch my makeup during the weekend, and now I think I've caught a cold, but I hope I'll be better soon.

But onward to the makeup!

This week I'm gonna give you one more look from Tres Chic Look Book,
and I'm also gonna do a little trip to the past and tell you something about skunks. And not about any skunks, but MSCHIC's SkunkGirl campaing!

But, first the look:
 
  
  
  
 

Skin:
Face Canvas
Mineral Consealer Light
Easy stick Almond
Baked Mineral Foundation Light
Shading Powder
Hilighter Powder

Brows:
Brow Powder Dark Blonde

Eyes:
Eyeshadow Base
Tres Chic Look Book  (Black Beauty, French Chocolate, White Gold, Vanilla)
Mineral Eyeshadow Metallic Orchid
SkunkLook
Eye Stain Black Cherry Shine
3D Mascara

Lips:
SkunkKiss


After using SkunkLook and SkunkKiss it's easy to move on to SkunkGirl.

SkunkGirl is MSCHIC's past collection, which was the world's first anti-smoking makeup campaign.
The model for the campaign was chosen through finnish website IRC-Galleria, and judges picked 17-year-old Sara Kukkonen as the winner.

I got a chance to see the collection in the SkunkGirl's press release on november last year, and here's some pics and story from there.

First the collection, which held 6 items; SkunkBrush, SkunkLash, SkunkPowder, SkunkKiss, SkunkLook and SkunkMiracle:


Behind the stand is the winner's stunning photo, photographed by Marco Cavazzana and Morgan Norman. Their other work can be found here.

And here's the Skunk Girl Sara, with finnish ex-top model Anne Kukkohovi, who was one of the judges:
 

So, here's some pics of the collection:
 
 

SkunkLook, eyeshadow:

SkunkMiracle, highlight powder:
 
 

SkunkPowder:

SkunkKiss, lipgloss:

All Skunks, excluding the SkunkLash:
Note also the extrasuperdupermegaultrabest SkunkBrush! I LOOOOVE it!


At the press release I also got to take a closer look at MSCHIC's KIDE products.

"KIDE MSCHIC is a new and unprecedented Finnish eco luxury make-up series with a unique design and the world's purest ingredients together in a loving environment, in luxury wooden containers." 
- KIDE MSCHIC 




 

 

I just love the wooden box and all. Later one of these actually followed me home, and I kept it ;D

And about eating, there was yummy food!
 

Then here's a pic of Anne Kukkohovi chatting with Marco Cavazzana and Morgan Norman:
 
( Look how cute the ears are! :D)


Later on Finnish website IRC-Galleria held another SkunkGirl contest, where the goal was to make SkunkGirl inspired makeup.

I participated, and actually won the contest. 

Here's my Skunk inspired looks:

 
 

I took inspiration of the Skunk Girl's logo, which has a skunk's tail in it.

I made the other eye a bit more wearable, but I wanted to keep the whole stripe thing:
 

And here's the whole look:
 

Here's another look I made:

 
 

Then I modified it a bit:
 
 

Full look:
 

This wasn't really a contest look, but I used SkunkLook eyeshadow for creating this:
 
 

SkunkLook is really perfect for making beautiful smokey eye, just pair it with black liner and black mascara, and you're ready to go. Grab yours from here!


So that was all this time, but I'll be back next week with something new!
Remember, if you have some ideas or suggestions or anything you wanna share, you can always leave me a comment or send me email!


Love,

Many faces of Tres Chic

Hello everyone, and welcome to my MSCHIC blog!

(Believe me when I say that I really have no idea how to start this blog :D )

Some of you may already know who I am, but I'm gonna introduce myself for people who don't know me.

- I'm a 24-year-old woman from Finland.
- I have two kids.
- I'm 100% self taught makeup artist.
- I love makeup; buying it, owning it, and doing looks with it.
- I have another blog where I focus more on all brands, but this is for MSCHIC only.

So, why write two blogs then? 
- I love makeup too much to give up other brands, but I like MSCHIC so much that I wanted to make a blog dedicated only for MSCHIC.

Why MSCHIC, why not some other brand?
- It's a Finnish brand, full of innovative, colorful and great products. I wanna spread the word of the brand, and I also wanna inspire everybody to use their makeup!

I hope you all enjoy my photos, looks, texts, ideas, opinions, reviews and all!
