Makeup Declutter Spring 2017
Spring cleaning at it’s finest! I love/hate going through my makeup drawers and getting rid of old products or products I don’t use anymore. I love it because I can rediscover products that are hidden away and I don’t reach for. I also love it because I can make room for new products hehe. I hate it because even if I know a product doesn’t work for me I want to hang on to it just in case. Just in case my skin type changes, my skin tone changes, or my preferences change. I know it won’t but my hoarding tendencies won’t let me let go of things. But, every…

My Top 5 Nude Lipsticks
A nude lipstick is a staple in my makeup collection. On a day to day basis a nude lipstick is what I gravitate towards. Why? Because they go with every single look I want to do. Natural look? Nude lip. Dramatic smokey eye? Nude lip. If you’re one of those people that can rock a red or purple lip on a daily basis then keep doing you but if you want some great nude lipstick recommendations, here is my top 5. Drugstore: Loreal Lipstick in Fairest Nude: This lipstick has been around forever and is a very popular drugstore nude lipstick. It can pull warm or nude depending on your skin…

Soft Valentines Day Makeup Look
For valentines day I feel like you can do one of two traditional makeup looks: soft and pink, or smokey with a red lip. I decided to go for the first this year. I went on a dinner date with my boyfriend and he commented on how nice my makeup looked, which I think is a win. I find this look is really soft and glamourous. It emphasizes features on the face in a really pretty way. I have a full coverage face with a light contour, blush, and highlight. My eyes are really light and feminine with whispy lashes. On my lips I used a nice classic cool toned…

October Favourites 2016
I know everyone says this but I can’t believe it’s almost November. It’s been a pretty busy month and I’ve been getting more and more into my blog.

Anyways, today I’ll be talking all about the products I’ve been loving for the month of October. First off, the real star in my eyes. The Master Palette by Mario in collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills is absolutely amazing! The colour payoff is amazing, the blendability (not a…

Copper Eyes & Vampy Lips
I really liked the last makeup look I did and decided to do another. I’m thinking I’ll do this sort of thing about once a month. Today I decided to do another fall inspired makeup look. I did an amazing copper shimmer eyeshadow on my eyes and a nice dark red lipstick. Again, I’m not makeup artist but I love doing my makeup. Hope you enjoy my look! Face Primer: Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer Foundation: Dior Star Fluid Foundation (First time using this is a while. It was pretty drying and patchy) Concealer: Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector in Pink & Maybelline Master Conceal in Fair Powder: Laura Mercier…

Another month has come and gone and we are in full blown fall now. The leaves are turning and the air is crisper. As I’m sitting here drinking my chai tea latte, I’m very much into the spirit of fall time. So, with that being said, September pretty much over that means another beauty favourites. Today i’ll be talking all about the products I have been loving for the month of September! I haven’t had the e.l.f.

Fall Beauty Essentials
I don’t know about where you guys live but in Nova Scotia it is getting a bit chilly and I love it. It’s still hot in the middle of the day but in the morning and the evening there is such a nice crisp to the air. I change up a lot of my beauty items when the seasons change. For fall, I tend to go darker on my lips, nails, and eyes. I also switch up my fragrances (on me and where I live). So, to honour the amazingness that is fall I thought today I would talk about some of my fall beauty essentials. Fall is not complete…

Product Empties – Dec/Jan
It is again that time to see what is in my trash! No but really. I’m gonna be showing you the few products I have used up in the last couple of months. I never seem to go through makeup quickly at all, probably because I’ve got enough for a family of 4. But, here are a few of my skincare, body, and haircare empties from the past could months. First up, the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil. This was the first time I had tried this after hearing so much about it over the years. Well to put it out there immediately, it smells amazing. It smells quite almondy but…

Mac Studio Waterweight Foundation
On most days I don’t like to go for a super heavy coverage foundation. I gravitate towards BB creams or some type of lightweight foundation. When Mac Cosmetics came out with this Studio Waterweight Foundation I was intrigued. It seemed like everything I would want in a day to day foundation. So, I went to my local Mac store, got shade matched, and got a sample of this foundation. I was really impressed with it and decided I needed the full size. The key claims that I found on the Mac website for this foundation makes are: Provides comfortable, all-day wear Provides instant and all-day hydration Controls oil Offers broad…
