Makeup of the Day

P1020390.jpg

Hi guys! Today I thought I would show you the makeup that I am wearing today. I wanted to go neutral because I was planning a very casual outfit (it’s Friday!) but then the blue shadow in the Gwen Stefani Palette jumped out at me. So… I added a pop of colour under my eye! I’m happy with how it turned out!

Mani Monday

P1020347

Hi guys! Welcome back to another Mani Monday! I think I finally have my nail polishing groove back. There was awhile there were I just looked at my nails and felt uninspired. But lately I have been really craving dark purple vampy nails. I was going to do my go-to which is OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark but I decided to bust out Siberian Nights which is a touch lighter and a bit more purple.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Original Formula (1 coat)
OPI Siberian Nights (2 coats)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying Top Coat (1 coat)

What do you have on your nails today? Let me know in the comments down below!

xoxo,

Robyn

Love for Lipstick: Round One

P1020335.jpg

Hi guys! One of my goals this year is to try different lip products ranging from drugstore to high end. I tend to go for the same lipstick lines such as the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks and the Colourpop Lippie Stix (to name a few). While I still love them dearly, I also want to switch it up and see what else is out there.

I was just causally browsing the Sephora website and they had a “Lip Boldly” feature on the front page that caught my eye. One thing led to another and I added quite a few to my loves list that I wanted to eventually try. I’m going to continue to order a few in every once and awhile so this is the first batch. I’m also going to pick up lipsticks from the drugstore as well throughout the year. My plan is to eventually do a big collective comparison closer to the end of the year! For now, this Love for Lipstick series will primarily be hauls, but will eventually include mini comparisons.

So, for round one, this is what I picked up!

Ipsy Glam Bag: February

P1020330

Hi guys! As you know from my last Birchbox Unboxing Post, they have decided to stop service to Canada. Due to that I decided to give Ipsy a shot to replace my subscription so that I can continue a subscription box series on the blog because I love writing it. This is my first Ipsy Glam Bag and I’m surprised to report that I like it far better than any Birchbox I received! Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved Birchbox and the types of items I received were very different from this Ipsy bag. It could be a fluke but I feel like this bag is full of winners.

Let’s dive into what I got this month… Continue reading

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette

P1020260.jpg

Hi guys! It’s Saturday so I have another video uploaded onto YouTube for you! Today I am featuring the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette which my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day. I must say when it comes to chocolate, even though I do enjoy eating it from time to time, I much prefer the makeup version! I had been eyeing up this palette for awhile so he did good.

Drugstore Haul

P1020279.jpg

Hi guys! I ventured into Shopper’s Drugmart yesterday and found quite a few items that I’ve been thinking about purchasing on sale so I decided to take some of them home with me. I almost never go into Shopper’s Drugmart to buy makeup since if I buy anything drugstore I usually just grab it while I’m grocery shopping. However, I saw over on Stashmatters’ Instagram that she spotted a NYX display at her local Shopper’s so I had to see if we had one too. I was super surprised to see that we did!

I had been wanting to try the NYX Micro Brow Pencil for quite some time so that is the item I went for when I saw the NYX display. It is supposed to be a dupe for the ABH Brow-Wiz. I’ve only ever swatched the brow-wiz in a Sephora (they didn’t have my colour in stock so I couldn’t take it home with me) but they do seem very similar. I can’t wait to try penciling in my brows with it! I purchased the shade taupe.

The Maybelline Colour Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks is another product from the drugstore that I’ve been eyeing up. They were on sale (and super picked-over) but I managed to grab one in the shade Mesmerizing Magenta. It’s a very pretty bright pink shade and it definitely felt creamy to apply when I swatched it on my arm. Continue reading

MOTD: Warm Eye Look

Hi guys! Yesterday was Family Day in Canada so I decided to take the day off to spend the day with my husband and post today instead. If I had posted I was going to do a MOTD post, but I didn’t even end up wearing much makeup anyways.

I had purchased a red knitted tunic on Sunday which I was planning on wearing today since my husband and I have an event to go to tonight and it really made me want to play with warm eye shadow. I also think that now that my hair isn’t red anymore I feel this compulsive need to add more warmth to my look. Maybe this is because I’m so cool-toned? Who knows?
