March Favourites

Hey everyone!

I have some new and exciting favourites this month that I'm loving, and I'm sure you will too!

1. Urban Decay's YDK- this shade is gorgeous (three from the right in the photo) it looked like a brown/pink shade with silver/champagne shimmer. There is no actual glitter in YDK like there is in chopper but the shimmer can cause fallout if you aren't careful when applying.
2. Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze- this is a great base, when I was looking at it online I thought it would be too dark for a base, but as long as you blend it out it isn't that dark, it's more of a pale bronze!
3. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black- I LOVE this eyeliner, it's so easy to use, especially if you are doing a winged eye!I've had this liner for months and it isn't drying out at all, it's good as new.  It only takes 1 pass to create a deep black line and you can make it as thick/thin as you like!
4. Joe Fresh eyeshadow in Silk- I love this shadow, its so close to my skin colour that i use it to blend out harsh lines from my eyeshadow everyday. I've also been using it to set concealer because its such a lightweight shadow. It has no shimmer and is available only in Canada at any Loblaws stores.
5. Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer in Ivory- I bought this concealer to use on my under eyes but it didn't have enough coverage so now i use it on my eyelid before putting on shadow to give me a clean base. I find that as long as you set it with a powder before applying shadow it doesn't crease.

6. Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls in Light Bronze Pearl- I've started using this everyday all over my face to give a glow. It doesn't make you look overly tan but it does give a glow. There is shimmer in this but I don't see it once it's on my face.
7 Benefit Blush in Coralista- I love this blush, it's pigmented, smells amazing and its such a flattering colour. I love using this blush for spring and summer and I think I will get a lot of use out of it in the coming months!!
8. L'oreal Voluminous False Lashes Mascara in Carbon Black- This has been my favourite mascara for the past 4 months! it makes my lashes look long and voluminous without being too clumpy. This mascara does clump sometimes but i find that if you keep coming the brush through and separating the clumps with the tip/your fingers then it works perfectly! I recommend this to anyone with medium length lashes that want more wow-factor.

9. Bdellium Tools Blending Brush #785- i picked up this brush at IMATS Toronto and I'm so glad i did! its perfect for blending out shadows and harsh lines. I also use it to apply colour to my crease. This brush would also work well for setting undereye concealer with a lightweight powder!

Those are all my favourites for the month of March, let me know if you pick up any of them or if you already have some!

Christmas Wishlist 2011!

Hey everyone, so I know I'm cutting it pretty close to Christmas but I just recently made my list and decided to share it with you! I thought this would be helpful if you are having a hard time shopping for a teen, especially one who loves makeup/beauty products or if you just want some things to add to your own list! Because this is a beauty blog, I'm only including the beauty things on my list, not things such as clothes! For my list I like to provide a bunch of different options, just in case something isn't availabale at a certain time. I personally find giving a variety makes things a lot easier for people, also some stores aren't available to everyone.
Bath and Body Works
I LOVE their candles especially in the scents cranberry bear bellini, gingerbread, winter candy apple and cranberry woods!
In general my favourite scents are forever sunshine, be enchanted, paris amour, twilight woods and secret wonderland
I also love the shea cashmere cream and the aromatherapy scent in night time tea.
Sephora
Benefit blush in coralista and erase paste in light
Urban decay book of shadows IV and shadows in ydk and ruthless
Buxom cream shadow in mutt
Tarte blush in amused and lip surgence set
Bare Escentuals Oh La Luxe gift set
MAC
MSF in Soft and Gentle
Blush in pinch of peach, blush baby and well dressed
Nail Polish
OPI Designer De Better, Warm and Fozzie, Vodka and Caviar, Roadhouse Blues
China Glaze in Midnight Magic, Emerald Fitzgerald, Swing Baby and Jitterbug
Plain Nail wheels, nail dotter and striping polishes in black and white (available at Sally's)
Other
Conair UCURL Curling wand
Macadamia Hair products
Taylor Swift Wonderstruck
Halle Berry "Halle" Perfume
Also I love VISA Gift cards, they are just like a gift card except you can use them wherever you want, for example I went to Sephora in the USA bought things there and then bought things here in Canada. It allows you to buy things in whatever store you would like but also in other countries! I think they are the perfect thing to buy someone when you aren't sure of what they would like. They are avaiable at banks, grocery stores and even convenience stores!
I hope this list helps you all!

October Favourites

Hey everyone, sorry I've been neglecting you lately, I've been trying to post a few videos on my Youtube channel but have decided to do my October Favourites as a post! So let's get started!

 My first favourite is the UD Naked Palette, I feel that this is pretty self explanatory, its a favourite of many and I've been using it practically every day this month to get the perfect neutral eye. The colours I use most are virgin, sin, buck, half baked and smog. I am also planning on doing a tutorial of this for my everyday fall eye look!

 My next favourite is the B&BW twilight woods scent, especially the hand cream. The scent is delicious and reminds me of the perfect fall scent, its a bit fruity and floraly at the same time, its pretty complex! This is just in the mini size and I think its perfect to just throw in your purse and use time to time to keep your hands soft for the upcoming winter months!

 Next we have the EOS lip balm in lemon drop. This lip balm has SPF 15 and even though it's not super moisturizing its shape is super easy to find in your purse and it makes me want to moisturize my lips. Currently it is working for me but i think in the winter months I will have to move to something more intense like the Nivea Kiss of Moisture lip balm.

 Moving to nail polish i have been loving OPI's No Spain no Gain, which I purchased after I posted my fall nail polish video! This is the perfect dark raspberry colour, it's opaque in 2 coats and stays super glossy. I also found that this nail polish formula goes on really smoothly and it lasted on my nails for over a week with just minimal chipping. This colour came out in the Espana collection but I'm sure you will still be able to find it wherever OPI is sold near you.

 The next two are my top favourites for the month and both of them are new finds! First is the Revlon Photo ready foundation. It gives a medium coverage and is available in a good variety of skin tones for around $11.00 Canadian. It leaves your skin looking natural and not cakey (I use a stippling brush), however I don't recommend it for taking photos as it has an SPF in it. The next favourite is the Rimmel Age Defying under eye concealer. I got this recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD and trust me, it's as good as she claims! This product is super easy to use, theres a lot of product and it has amazing coverage that last on me all day. For around $8.00 I would definitely reccomed picking this up! I will probably be doing a foundation routine on my beauty channel coming soon!

 My perfume favourite for the month has been J'adore by Dior, I got this as a sample from Sephora and although I love this scent I probably would never purchase it as the price is so steep! This perfume is extremely floraly and there is no sweet undertones or anything to cut the strong floral scent. You can definitely smell this perfume on you all day and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like strong scents.

 The MAC paint pot in bare study is also a top favourite for the month. This is my first paint pot purchase and I definitely don't regret it! I use this almost every day as a base under my eye looks. I find it really intensifies colours such as Urban Decay's Sin. It also makes my shadows last all day without a primer underneath it however I don't have oily lids and have never experienced creasing problems.

 My final favourite (but definitely just as good as the rest) is the MAC blush in Breath of Plum. This is the only MAC blush I own and I am now interested in picking up some more. This blush has just the right amount of pigmentation, its not super crazy pigmented but you need to watch how much you put on to prevent looking clown-like. On my cheeks this blush looks super natural and is a perfect everyday fall blush (even though i will probably still wear it in the summer time, it's still got enough of a bright touch!).

These are all my favourites for the month of October, i feel like this has been a pretty good month for beauty products for me, I've found a lot of amazing products, i hope November can be just as great! Please let me know if you like Favourites posts, I probably won't be doing them every month as they get pretty repetitive, however I will likely be doing them once every 2 or 3 months! I hope you try out some of these products and you love them as much as I do!!
