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.

Spring 2017 Project Pan!

Hey everyone! So I really enjoyed my Winter project pan and since I have SO many products in my collection that either need more love or need to be used up ASAP, I decided I'll be doing a project pan with a different selection of products every month. Here's what I chose for Spring 2017! Of course, I'm bringing back the Nyx Prismatic Eye shadow in 'Girl Talk' , since that was the one product in my last project pan that was pretty neglected. Hopefully I can get some good use out of this one this time around! The big one for this project pan is my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette . This was my favourite palette EVER, but since I've purchased so many palettes in the past few months, I feel like this ones been pretty neglected, so my goal is to get some good use out of this and to (hopefully) on at least 3-4 shades. This will probably be the easiest product in my project pan, since I've already hit major pan on this one. This is the Maybelline Fit M

The BEST Lip Colours for Spring!

When it comes to seasonal makeup, my two favourites would have to be Spring and Autumn, As much as I love my vampy berry lips when the cooler months roll around, I love all the pretty colours I get to play around with in the spring time. Here are the lipsticks that are pretty much always in my rotation all Spring long: From Left to Right: Wet N' Wild Liquid Catsuit Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Nudist Peach'  Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Baci'  Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Instigator'  Essence Lipstick in 'Coral Calling'  Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 'Vibrant Mandarin'  Nyx Lipstick in 'Vitamin'  Nyx Lipstick in 'Blush'  Let me know if you'd like lip swatches or entire makeup looks created with any of these! I'm so excited that it's finally spring! xo 

Winter Project Pan Update!

 Hey everyone! So here is my update on my winter project pan! So: I completely finished the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation and the Benefit Porefessional primer which I'm really happy about. The Maybelline Fit Me concealer seems to be one of those products that never ends! I use it on the daily and it just never seems to run out! I do think I'm on the last few drops of it now though.  I'm really happy with the progress I made on the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette . While it doesnt look like much, I managed to hit pan on 2 more shades, which I think is pretty good. Forcing myself to use it more often also made me love it a lot more. This palette doesn't have the best reviews and I really don't know why because I really do think it's a great one overall. One product it seemed really hard for me to make progress on was the Marcelle Kohl eyeliner , even though I was using it frequently and sharpening it as well. I realized pretty soon after

March Favourites!

 It's that time again; new month, new batch of products I've been loving. I tried out a lot of new products this month so I had a really hard time narrowing this list down to an acceptable size, but I decided to go with the products I've used on a near daily basis throughout the month of March. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Granite I was on quite a brow product hunt last month. I wanted something that could effortlessly fill in sparse areas without making my brows look too dark or too clown-like. This product is honestly so fool proof and looks so great. You can build up the pigmentation as well, so you can choose to go for a natural , subtle look or a full on Instagram style brow all with one product! Nyx Dewy Finish Setting Spray As a setting spray, I thought this product was good, but not good enough to keep me using it on a daily basis. I recently started using this to dampen my Beauty Blender and my foundation and concealer have never looked better ! It

What I Bought this Month: March Makeup Haul!

Hi everyone! I wanted to do some kind of haul since I bought quite a lot of new makeup this month, so I figured I'd just do a monthly haul showing you everything I picked up this month! Let me know if you like these and maybe I'll make it a monthly thing! During the spring break, I made a little road trip to the US where I got to pick up some drugstore products that we don't have here in Canada, specifically Wet n' Wild and Milani. The CVS I went to didn't have the biggest selection, but I'm still really excited about the things I picked up! From Wet N' Wild I picked up the PhotoFocus Foundation , which I've heard great things about. I'm most excited about the highlighter I picked up in the shade 'Boozy Brunch' . I mean, how gorgeous does that look???  I also picked up two of the Liquid Catsuit Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Nudist Peach and Give Me Mocha. You can see swatches of them on my Instagram here ! The Milani sectio

Review: Trying Out Acure Products

A little while back I was sent a lovely box of natural products from M Squared Brands (you can check out the entire haul here ). Three of the products were from Acure Organics , a brand that I definitely invite you to check out (if you haven't already!). Their range of products look incredible, and I'll definitely be picking up some more stuff from them. All their products are gluten, paraben, sulfate, phthalate, harmful preservative and artificial colour free too!   The first product of theirs that I picked up right off the bat was the Lavender Calming Body Lotion. This is such a nice lightweight moisturizer that absorbs extremely quickly. It's a great one to just throw into your handbag. I personally like to keep on my bedside table because the lavender scent is so nice and soothing to use before bed!  The Quick Fix Correcting Balm with argan oil and starflower is such a great product to use now in the winter, I've very quickly incorporated it into my daily
