Spring is officially here in Halifax (it’s 11 degrees today!!) and summer is approaching quickly. That means, it is about time to dig out your most glowy/JLO products to make you glow to the gods. When it comes to products to make your skin glow, I am a bit high maintenance and use a few products to achieve my desired glow. Today I’ll be talking all about my favourite glowy makeup products to achieve my best JLO self. When it comes to foundation/concealer/setting powder, I’m not going to mention any specific product. I just don’t mess with anything too mattifying. Not to mention my skin is super dry but I…

My Favourite Vampy Fall Lipsticks
Fall comes around and heck yeah, it’s time for some dark lips. No, these are my everyday fall lips (even though I totally would). These are some fall lips that pack a punch. The make the statement, “I love fall and I don’t care who knows it”. Whether it’s a liquid lipstick or a stick of lipstick, I love any deep, dark colour. Today I’ll be sharing all of my favourite fall vampy lipsticks. Starting on the left, this is the Stila Stay All Day Liquid lipstick in Bacca. Not only is the Stila formula so good but this deep raspberry colour is so gorgeous. It’s so flattering and makes…

My Makeup Storage
As someone who has a decent amount of makeup, I love my makeup storage. I don’t have a huge apartment so my makeup storage doesn’t take up much room which is perfect. It also looks really nice and tidy. Is what I have right now going to be my forever solution? Probably not. But, it works for me right now and I’m hoping it will give you some ideas. If you want to know about my makeup storage and where I got everything, read on! My makeup lives in the corner of my bedroom. My dresser is the perfect height for me to stand at with my vanity mirror and…

April Beauty Favourites
To counteract all the negativity in my last post, I thought I should do a favourites post! I love rummaging through my makeup drawers and looking at all the products I’ve used this month. All of these, actually, were no brainers. I love favourites posts so let’s get on with talking about my favourite beauty products from the month of April. My journey to find the perfect face primer has been a tough one. I’ve tried so many that I don’t find do anything for my skin. But, the Huda Beauty Complexion Perfection Base Primer is my favourite one that I’ve tried. It makes my foundation glide on like butter and…

Beauty Empties March 2018
Ever wanted to see what’s in my garbage? No? Well, you’re about to. I go through product all the time and I think it’s fun to see what products beauty junkies actually use up completely. You get a really good idea of the product when you use the whole darn thing. I mostly use up skincare and body care stuff but I do finish the occasional makeup item. If you’re interested to know what beauty products I’ve used up recently and what I think of them, keep on reading! The Good: The Simple Micellar Water is my favourite cleansing water. It also helps that it’s like $8 at the drugstore.…

My Favourite Makeup Brushes
It’s hard to create an amazing painting without tools and it’s near impossible to create beautifully artistry on your face without brushes and beauty tools. I don’t have a massive collection of brushes but I have put together a few that I would be absolutely lost without. Todays post is all about my favourite brushes that I own. As with anything, the prices range from high end to drugstore. Let’s start with face tools. I love a good multi use brush. They are amazing for powder, bronzer, blush, and more! They are also amazing for travel. You can take one brush and do it all. My go-to’s are actually all from…

2017 Makeup Favourites
Another year gone, another year with me spending WAY too much money on makeup. It has gotten to the point that no one wants to get me makeup for christmas because they just assume I have all the makeup. Which, I mean, is so untrue. So if anyone reading this ever wants to get me a gift, I will happily accept more makeup. With this being the start of 2018, a brand new year, I thought I would go through my makeup stash and round up all my favourite products from the last year. I’ll be sure to link any posts dedicated to individual products that I talk about. If…

My Go To Fall Lipsticks
Fall has to be my favourite time of the year for makeup. Although I love a good tan, my skin really suits me being fair. Also, I love wearing deeper makeup on my eyes, my cheeks, and my lips. When September comes around, I’m pretty sick of wearing corals and ready to wear some reds, browns, and berries. Today I’ll be talking all about my go-to fall lipsticks. I tried to include some day-time fall lipsticks as well as some night-time options. But to be honest, I would wear all of these day or night. Hope you enjoy my choices! Swatches at the end!! First is this gorgeous Kat Von…

August Beauty Favourites + 1 Unfavourite
As I said in my last post August was so nuts for me. I was very involved in 2 different weddings, went on a trip for a few days, and worked on top of all that. So, unfortunately, blogging took a back seat to all that. With all that busyness behind me, I am so ready to get back into makeup, beauty, and blogging. I know everyone says this but how is it almost September? 2017 is literally almost over. But, with that, I can finally talk about all the products I’ve been loving in the month of August! I’m pretty much just picking and choosing products I travelled with.…
