Love Letters and Lace

Anyone who knows me well, knows I have a bit of an obsession. I kind of have a huge love for pugs. While I'm a huge dog lover and any dog really would make me incredibly happy, I do have a bit of a soft spot for Pugs. So today I thought my weekly Pinterest picks would reflect my love for them and hopefully any fellow Pug lovers amongst you all will enjoy! Follow me on Pinterest here

Hey everyone! I did a bit of makeup shopping at the drugstore today and I thought it'd be fun to share my purchases with you all! Firstly, there some truly amazing sales going on so I definitely encourage you to go check out your nearest drugstores and hopefully find some great deals like I did! Secondly, this may not be the most interesting haul in the world (1. I'm on a budget and 2. I mainly focused on eye and lip products) but I'm so excited with my new purchases!!! What I got: -Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara -Maybelline the Falsies Flared Mascara -Marcelle Kohl Eyeliner in Black -Annabelle Smudge Liner eyeliner in Wahine Blue -Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsick in Sugar Plum -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Wine With Everything (Pearl Finish) -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Violet Frenzy (Pearl Finish) -Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Plum Velour (Shine finish) -Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Wine & Dine -Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Tiar

If you're looking for a mascara that can lengthen your lashes significantly, but also keep them looking natural, then this is the mascara you've been looking for. There was a lot of hype surrounding this mascara, and I've often been disappointed when giving into the hype so I avoided it for a while. However, I recently ran out of my trusty 'Better Than Sex' mascara and it was on sale, so I decided to buy it and give it a try. I can honestly say that this product is SO worth the hype. I like using this mascara on a daily basis when I want my lashes to look longer and like they have a little something there, but not over-the-top. It doesn't flake or smudge at all, which I love. I use the regular, non-waterproof formula, but I haven't had any issues with that. I find that the formula is pretty wet, but once it dries, it looks great and doesn't smudge. I do find that it's not the most buildable mascara and it tends to clump a bit on me if I add

I have always had problems finding the perfect foundation. My skin typically tends to be dry and most foundations I've tried usually accentuate that and cling to dry spots. I read pretty mixed reviews about Too Faced's 'Born This Way' foundation but I figured I'd give it a try since I'm a pretty big fan of their products in general. This foundation changed the game for me. It provides medium but buildable coverage, and just glides on your skin like a dream. It has the most lovely feeling on the skin, I almost can't describe it. The perfect balance between matte and dewy making it look SO natural that you honestly can't tell you have foundation on. I wear the shade Nude and was matched at Sephora so it was a perfect match. (although I'll have to see about getting matched again since that was back in August and I'm sure I've lost most of my tan by now). Ever since I tried this foundation in the summer, I've worn nothing but it. It'

A new year has begun. And with it came the bitter cold we had been dreading and the new found motivation to make a positive change on our shiny, new, clean slate. I thought really hard as to what my New Years' resolutions would be this year and came up with two; one of which I usually have every year and one new one. 1) Drink more water. I have had this resolution for the past 4 years and... let's just say I'm still working on it. But I'll get there. 2) Say whats on my mind I'm the kind of person who avoids saying what's on their mind and just keeps their feelings inside, which as I'm sure we can all agree, doesn't end well. It just upsets you even more. So my resolution is to speak my mind more often. If something is really bothering me, I'll say it. Keeping things bottled up only makes it worse in the end. What are your New Years' resolutions this year? Happy 2016 everyone! xo

Hey everyone! So as 2015 comes to a close, I've gathered up all my favourite makeup products from this year into one big post! So here are the products that I loved ALL year and were my absolute favourites. I'll also be writing full reviews for each one of these products throughout the month of January for those of you who would like to know more! Too Faced Born This Way Foundation By far the best foundation I've used probably ever. I love this stuff. I have dry skin so finding a good foundation is usually pretty hard for me since it always tends to settle in a very obvious way on my skin which is not the effect I'm going for... This foundation looks so natural, and also offers great coverage. Awesome. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara This mascara might just be my holy grail mascara. Does everything a good mascara should do; adds volume, length and curl. I probably used it almost every day this year (except for the past couple weeks because I've run ou

Hello! I just got my nails done for the New Year and I'm completely in love. It's a shellac manicure in the colour "Glacial Mist" which is the most stunning, sparkly ice blue. I'm obsessed. It's part of the CND Shellac Aurora collection (I previously got Nordic Lights, a sparkly purple, which was also so so incredible) and I have nothing but amazing things to say. What do you think? How are you doing your nails for the New Year? xo
