…..my beauty blog
Hello to all beauty lovers everywhere,
My name is Eugenia and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Why a beauty blog? Well, it just happens to perfectly combine three of my passions: makeup/beauty products, writing and photography. I want to state that I am not a cosmetologist, dermatologist or any kind of ‘ologist’ and/or beauty technician; I just happen to have a really intense passion for beauty products (can you say ‘addiction’?!!). Over the years, I have picked up numerous tips & techniques regarding all things beauty, ranging from the best way to set your makeup or a great at-home manicure to what beauty trends to embrace and how to avoid nasty mistakes (made plenty of those), and I figured that since I always appreciate information that I can benefit from, perhaps so would other people; hence….. the birth of my beauty blog!
The point of my blog is many-sided:
- provide reviews and/or swatches of products (so you can virtually try before you buy)
- provide information on upcoming products and launches (as soon as I get the info, that is)
- provide time-tested tips, trends and techniques (work in progress)
- provide background information on beauty brands
- introduce new and relatively unknown product lines
- inform readers of the many talented makeup artists and nail techs out there
While I certainly don’t intend to cover all those topics with one posting, this is to give readers an idea of the direction I’m headed, as well as try and include other related topics that interest me (and hopefully others as well!). All reviews, except for the ones I quote from or link to, are based on my own personal experience, practice, opinion and trial & error.
If you’re interested in using the information I provide or quoting my postings/reviews, I would be pleased to give permission, however I would appreciate that my blog is given the proper credit with an active link provided to it as well. All pictures, except where mentioned, are taken by me using my hands and nails, and as such are subject to copying infringement. Please respect that these are solely my property.
If you’re a new or already existing blogger and wish me to look over your site, I kindly ask that you email me first with your coordinates, rather than linking your site to mine through the comments section. Please note that ALL comments are moderated and any solicitation will be promptly deleted.
I also absolutely love your comments, feedback and advice and get such a thrill when people write back….so, please don’t be shy!
Let me know how I’m doing and……..enjoy!

Dear Madame
In the beginning I would like to say that I am a fan of you blog. I am writing to ask if I can use some polishes images Essie (Resort Collection 2013, etc). I got some polishes from my friends from the USA and would like to sell them on an regional auction-like ebya. Naturally, whence come check mark image.
I’ll be very grateful if I get permission.
Sincerely
Martin Wasowski from Poland
ps. sorry for my poor English
Hello Martin, please email me your request at ommorphia@gmail.com
Also, I would like more details: which pictures are you referring to specifically and what is your site/ebay store called?
hello,
i just found out your blog and really like it.i would like to ask you if you are greek?
waiting for your reply!
Hi back!
I’m glad you found me and thanks for the kind words! In answer to your question, yes I am Greek, born in Canada (my parents emigrated from Greece, so I’m 1st generation Greek-Canadian but my mother tongue is Greek)
Hi there,
I have been viewing your blog recently and admiring your swatches – you do are really nice job!
I am in the process of starting an online store for nail polish and was wondering if you would be interested in us using some of your swatches? Obviously we would like to give you credit for the picture and was thinking if we included the words “Image courtesy of http://www.ommorphiabeautybar.com or similar?
Would this be something you would be interested in?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Thanks and kind regards
Crystal
Hello Crystal and thanks for reaching out to me. If you could email me with more details at ommorphia@gmail.com it would easier to communicate. Thanks!
Hi Eugenia — Do you have plans to review the By Terry Huile de Rose Firming-List oil? I crave it, but I can’t justify the expense until I know more. Thanks! Duffi
Hi Duffi! I wish I could oblige, but not only do I not have this product, I’m not even sure who sells the stuff anywhere near me to go check it out
The line used to be carried at Sephora, but not anymore. Sorry! Wish I could have been of more help!
Hi Eugenia,
I was wondering if you could do a post on how you keep you keep up with your nails and how you paint them! I feel like your nails look absolutely gorgeous and I would love to get some tips to making mine look that way!
Thank you so incredibly much, Paula…I’m flattered that you think so!
I’ve been planning a post on that for quite some time now; many other readers have asked me as well so I guess I should put something out there, right?! Hope to get to it as soon as I’ve taken care of some backlog!
HI Eugenia,
It was great meeting you on Sunday. After talking to you, I was really interested in checking out your blog. I love your reviews and you bring a great perspective on the products that you present. Your images of nails are absolutely fab! I’ve also learned about some new brands that I might be interested in checking out.
Excellent work!
Thanks Jess and thanks for your kind words of praise…I appreciate it! It was wonderful meeting you and I look forward to the next time (June!) I’m so glad you enjoy my posts and it’s great that you can be introduced to some of the lesser-known, but amazing brands that are out there…happy reading!
