Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite days of the year (for obvious pink reasons) and what better way to prep for VDay than being surrounded by makeup and perfume?!

This past Valentine’s Day weekend I have the pleasure of attending the Lips & Scents event at Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique at the Toronto Eaton Centre. You may have seen my posts on social media of the amazing flower wall from the event. Any event that involves a pink flower wall is an event I want to be at.

The event started with one of the lovely Shoppers Drug Mart makeup artists teaching me how to create an Ombre lip. Back in high school I was the lip liner queen, so this trend really brings me back. Thankfully the look now has a modern twist with a more subtle ombre effect, versus the heavy lip liner look of the 90’s. This time around it’s all about the blending and subtle shade differences.

Next, it was on to the scent station to find my signature VDay scent, which ended up being the new Chloe Love Story fragrance. It’s so delicious and has now replaced my classic Chloe perfume as my new everyday scent.

After indulging in macarons and italian soda, it was onto the floral wall with my girls Kaylee from The Blondielocks and Anum from SummerxSkin to capture some pics of our new Ombre look.

I picked up a couple of items to create the ombre lip look at home. Check them out below and you can check out more Lips & Scents details HERE.

Step 1: Make sure lips are nice and hydrated. Apply a lip scrub or let Vaseline sit on lips for a couple of minutes and then brush lips gently with a toothbrush

 

Step 2: Line lips with Clinique Quickliner for Lips in Intense Hibiscus

 

Step 3: Apply Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss in Hot Pink Vinyl to outer area of lip leaving small section in middle of lips uncovered

 

Step 4: Dab a small amount of Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Rosa to center of lips only

 

Step 5: Blend lips using lip brush or apply a clear gloss to finish the look

 

Step 6: Voila!
