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. Some products are just straight up better quality if they’re high end but, I don’t think every product in your collection needs to be the most expensive. For some products, I reach for drugstore over high end all the time. Today were going to talk about the affordable makeup products I’ll reach for over high end products. If you want to know the 5 affordable makeup products I absolutely adore, keep on reading! Lets start with my favourite drugstore concealer of all time. If you’re reading this and you don’t own the Elf Camo Concealer, go buy…

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,…

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…

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. I’m also getting more and more into glowy products. I’m going to do a blog post soon on my go-to glow products but until then I’m going to include some glow in my favourites today. Not only do I have…

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.…
