My Spring Makeup Essentials: Pink

As soon as spring rolls around, my makeup looks tend to shift to the more pink side of things. I've really been loving the monochrome makeup trend these days because rosy eyeshadow and pink lips are right up my alley. If you're like me and you love these kinds of looks, here are my favourite makeup products that you need in your life, like, yesterday. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette I whip out this palette for almost every eyeshadow look I ever do. It is just a must have. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette I waited on picking up this palette for a long time but I finally bit the bullet and went for it. Obviously I love it. If you're like me and you love pink-toned makeup looks, don't hesitate on picking up this palette. Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Palette  If you're looking for a more affordable palette that still packs a punch, I highly recommend the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette. The metallic shades in this are so freaking gorgeous, it blows my mind.

My 10 Fall Makeup Essentials

Hi everyone! Can you believe September is almost over? Was that the fastest month ever or what?

I recommend: Lancome 'Effacernes' Under Eye Concealer & Nyx Dark Circle Concealer/Corrector 2) A Cool Toned Nude Lipstick When I think of Fall lipstick, I think of 2 things: a vampy wine colour, and a cool

My 10 Beach Bag Must-Haves!

There's a reason why beach bags are so huge: there are a lot of things you need to being with you! It may be mid-August, but to me, summer is still in full swing. It is hot and sunny, and that can only mean one thing... time to head to the beach (or pool!). Over time, I've nailed down the beach bag to an exact science. Here are the products I find are must haves in my beach bag: 1) Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen (for body & face)  I've raved about these products over and over. It's the first sunscreen I've ever used that feels hydrating on my skin rather than greasy. It also smells great and gives you the protection you need from the sun! 2) SPF protection for lips Just like the rest of your skin, your lips need to be protected too! I bring just a basic lip balm with some SPF in it. I really like the Nivea one. 3) A big water bottle Staying hydrated when you're in the sun is so important. I always like to bring a really big water bottl
