  • Transitioning Your Makeup From Summer to Fall

    The crisp air, the smell of people lighting fires in their homes, and the changing leaves. Thats what some people love about fall. What I love about fall is not sweating every time I leave the house, leggings being a completely viable outfit option, and changing my makeup to darker colours. Although I do love summer makeup, I absolutely love changing my makeup with the seasons. When it comes to fall, some switches in your makeup collection are easy to do to change up your makeup from summer to fall. And obviously, if you love wearing summery makeup all year long, do you boo. These are just suggestions! In the…

  • How to Pick the Perfect Foundation

    Foundation can be a tricky thing to master. And finding the perfect foundation for you can be a very long experience. Foundation is as personal as a skincare routine.

  • The Brow Wax War – Patrick Ta vs. ABH vs. Makeup Revolution

    Does anyone else dread doing their eyebrows? Mine never turn out looking the same. They usually aren’t even sisters but distant cousins. The trend of really intense eyebrows always stressed me out because I could never get mine to look that good. But, this year, a whole new eyebrow trend came out. The laminated/feathery brow. Hallelujah. This trend is barely filled in brows that look feathery and undone. You would think this trend would use hardly any products. Well, you’d be wrong. Lot’s of brands have come out with brand new brow waxes and gels that make your brows look super wispy and stay like that all day. Today, I’ll…

  • Ardell Water-Activated Aqua Lashes

    Ardell recently released the worlds first water-activated strip eyelashes. False eyelashes are something that I actually get a lot of questions about. What lashes work best? What lashes are the best for your eye shape? How do I apply false eyelashes? Is there anything that can make the application of false eyelashes easier? Well, I’m hoping these Water Activated Lashes help with a lot of those concerns. I was walking by an Ardell display and literally stopped in my tracks and grabbed a pair. Let’s start with the basics of false eyelashes. Normal false eyelashes you apply glue to the lash band, wait for the glue to get tacky, apply…

  • Brand New Essence Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palettes

    I am constantly on the hunt for amazing drugstore products. I am also always looking for better and better products. I went to my local Shoppers Drug Mart early the other morning to go makeup hunting and came across these brand new Essence Cosmetics 6 pan eyeshadow palettes. The look of the palettes initially caught my eye and then I saw the price and immediately grabbed 3 of the palettes! The three palettes I bought are the Coral Me Maybe, Dancing Green, and Bronzed this way. I tested them out completely with swatches and doing an eye look with each palette. These palettes are centred around “songs that you love”…

  • My Favourite Skin Tints/Tinted Moisturizers for Dry Skin

    I have been an absolute sucker for the natural makeup looks. I have worn full coverage foundations for the last 10 years! Not only does natural makeup take less time but I think it makes me look younger. I have picked up a few more natural looking skin tints over the last few months so I thought I would chat about them a little bit. I have 3 natural skin tints/tinted moisturizers that I wanted to review today. I have the Morphe 2 Hint Hint Skin Tint, the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint, and the Urban Decay Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator Foundation. The Morphe 2 Hint Hint Skin…

  • 5 Affordable Makeup Products I Swear By

    I think there is a time and a place for high end makeup.

  • New Physicians Formula Products – The Butter Range

    I was perusing my local Shoppers Drug Mart the other day looking for new makeup products and I found a whole bunch of new Physicians Formula products added to their Butter range. Physicians Formula is one of those brands I don’t think gets the hype it deserves. I don’t know why. Maybe the packaging? Maybe the price? I decided to grab 3 products from their butter range that I have never tried but caught my attention. If you want to know what I think about them, keep on reading! If you don’t know, the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer is completely iconic. The scent is like warm coconut, the formula is,…

  • Favourite Glowy Makeup Products for Summer

    Summer is officially upon us and with that brings the glowiest makeup. Some of the glow may be sweat, but a lot I can attribute to the makeup and pre makeup products I use.

  • Jeffree Star Cosmetics x Shane Dawson Palette

    I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a massive Jeffree Star or Shane Dawson fan. Nothing personal against either of them. They’re just not my jam. But, I did really enjoy watching their series. The beauty industry is so interesting and to see a company making and manufacturing an eyeshadow palette from an idea to a finished product was so exciting to watch. After watching the series, I had to get my hands on the palette. I had never tried anything from Jeffree Star Cosmetics, even though I’ve only heard amazing thing. I don’t own anything that looks like this palette so it was the perfect excuse! If you’re…
