Favourite Drugstore Makeup
Luxury makeup is nice and everything but there is nothing like the rush of finding an amazing makeup product at an affordable price. Knowing you can create an expensive look with drugstore products is one of the best feelings. Wow, this is making me feel like I need to get out more. I get asked all the time, what my favourite products at the drugstore are so I thought I would round them up and talk about all my fav drugstore makeup products. One of the products I really don’t think needs to be high end to be effective is mascara. My favourite mascara is the Maybelline Lash Sensational in…

Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette
I have had this eyeshadow palette and it has been killing me not to crack into it. But, for the good of the blog, I waited until I could take pictures of it and now, I will dive right into it. Although I only have one other Natasha Denona palette and she’s a mini too (review here), I love it and the quality is unmatched. Today I’ll be showing, swatching, and doing a look on the Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette. I’m not sure there’s much better than cracking into a brand new neutral eyeshadow palette and knowing the quality of Natasha Denona eyeshadows, this one makes me tingle…

March Beauty Favourites
With missing my February beauty favourites, this is kind of a combination of two months. Within those two months I went away twice and both to sunny destinations. I went to Miami and the Bahamas and both trips were absolutely amazing. If you want to see what I do on my trips, be sure to follow me on instagram. I post a lot on my stories when I’m on vacation.

Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette
I don’t know about other people but when I heard the original Urban Decay Naked Palette was being discontinued, I was a little hurt. The Urban Decay Naked Palette was the first high end eyeshadow palette I ever had. My sister bought this for me for my birthday in 2011. I couldn’t have been more excited because I had spent the last 9 months watching YouTube videos. But, I got excited when Urban Decay announced they were releasing a “Reloaded” version of the original Naked Palette. So, of course, when it released I had to get it because it looked like my neutral eyeshadow heaven. First off, let’s talk logistics.…

January 2019 Favourites
YAAASSS new year new me. New year, new makeup is more like it actually. Going through my makeup drawers and my skincare stash is such a fun time of the month. It makes me excited again to look at all of my products and figure out what I’ve been super into that month as far as beauty products go. The Morphe Setting Mist is a real game changer. Let’s start off with talking about that mist. It’s a continuous mist so it’s similar to a hairspray mist and it helps deliver a completely uniform set. It has a bit of a dewy finish and helps all the powder products on…
