Love Letters and Lace

Hi everyone! So the people at Influenster ever so kindly selected me to receive one of the L'Oreal Hair Expertise VoxBoxes and it just arrived in the mail today! I have been looking forward to it's arrival for quite some time now, and I'm so pleased it's here!! For those of you who may not know, Influenster is a site you can join for free and have the opportunity to recieve free products for review purposes! It's seriously a really great review community. You basically review products on the site and connect your social media accounts to it (don't worry, they don't post anything nor use any of your personal info) in order to have higher chances of being selected to receive free products. It's seriously that easy. Here is the link if you want to join; I highly recommend you check it out if you love reviewing products!! Anyway, I thought some of you may enjoy a little post of the unboxing experience. The box itself was a bit scuffed up from the mail,

Valentine's Day is fast approaching! And whether you have a fancy date night planned out, or just a quiet night in, it's definitely a great time to do something special with your makeup! I always love a warm makeup look with lots of pinks, reds and golds. I was looking around on Pinterest for some more inspiration this year and I've found so many gorgeous looks that I just had to share! Let me know what you think! Which one is your favourite? How will you be doing your makeup for Valentine's Day? Any special plans? xo

If you look through my lipstick stash, you'd notice that I own a LOT of burgundy/dark berry shades. This is because I spent a lot of time (and money) looking for the perfect one. It took a while, but I found it. And that was Nyx's Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen. This product is perfect for me. The colour suits my skin tone perfectly and is the perfect dark red that isn't too vampy, but just the right amount of sexy, dark and dramatic. Aside from the colour, there are many reasons to love this product. The reasons that led me to buy 3 other shades as well. The other 3 I have are Monte Carlo, which is your standard, bright red lip, Transylvania, a deep berry/merlot colour and San Paulo, a peachy/coral pink. The lasting power is great. It lasts for a long time without fading so you wont be constantly reapplying. Contrary to most matte lip products, it doesn't dry out your lips and it also doesn't cling to every little dry patch on your lips. So you can ju

Hey everyone! I'm a bit late on my favourites this month (blame school!) but I have a ton of things that I LOVED this month so this will be a long one! If you would like a longer, more in depth review of any of the products I've mentioned, let me know in the comments and I will definitely do one! Makeup: Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation I've been using the Too Faced 'Born This Way' foundation pretty steadily since the summer so I was looking to try something new this month and I found a great one. This foundation has the nicest texture and gives incredible coverage. The staying power is also pretty great for a drugstore foundation.   Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks These lipsticks are so incredible that I've gone back to purchase more about 3 times. I own around 6 of them now and I'm so in love with them. They do everything you want from a lipstick: they're creamy and hydrating, they have a great lasting power and the best thing about them

I'm not the most social of people. I have my small group of close friends and I've always been content with that. I'm not the kind of person who strives to be friends with everyone and this has never been a problem for me until lately... Let's be honest, if we're stuck taking a boring class or doing a boring job, it makes it better to have a few friends around just to keep you company. I used to have that. But not this semester. I find myself sitting in class alone and then wandering around trying to find things to do during my breaks but not having anything to do or anyone to spend them with. And it's not that I'm not trying. I'm making an effort to talk to more people in my classes in hopes of having a group that maybe I can sit with so I'm not completely alone. But when everyone has already made their solid group of friends, they're not really all that willing to let you in, I guess. And I guess thats why I'm writing this post righ

After a nice long winter break, I'm officially back at school. In a way, I'm excited to continue learning and getting closer to finally graduating and being able to work in my field. But on the other hand, and lets face it, I'm for sure not alone with this: I just want to keep being lazy haha. No more late night Netflix binges, sleeping in and spending the day baking at home in my pyjamas. Oh well. I'm determined to make this semester my best yet. Lets add that to my 2016 New Year's Resolutions! Of course, I also want to make time to actually keep updating my blog on a regular basis. So these are my goals for this semester. Anyway, just thought I'd give you all a little update. I have a 7 hour lab awaiting me, so I should probably go get ready! xo PS. I have a ton of new product reviews that I'm just dying to post on here. I've been spending some time on Influenster lately and it's really brought out my love for reviewing. If you don't

Oh my god. After what felt like the longest wait of all time, the first episode of Pretty Little Liars season 6B "Of Late I Think of Rosewood" finally aired. They're back, 5 years later and the story continues. I have been looking forward to this episode since the shocking (and to many, disappointing) huge reveal of the identity of A.  There was so much hype building up to this episode (and, I mean, no kidding. You answer the biggest question of the entire show and then break for months... Obviously we're excited). Did the episode live up to the hype? Well... In my opinion... Not really.  It starts off with the girls reuiniting in Rosewood after being summoned by the court (and Alison, of course) in order to determine if they should release Charlotte. The girls look great; new cities, new jobs, new hair... A lot has changed in these 5 years. But they're not doing as well as it seems... I'm looking forward to seeing more about how the girls have been c
