In the spirit of #throwbackthursday or #tbt for short I thought I would share 3 beauty trends from the 1990s. It’s kind of funny to see how some of these are coming back. I was born in 1989 so my childhood was a mix of the 1990s and 2000s. I don’t know about you but I always enjoy a trip down memory lane so let’s dive in, shall we? Continue reading
I haven’t done a tag in quite some time so I thought it would be fun to do the 30 Beauty Questions Tag post today. I wasn’t tagged in it per say but I did find it while searching online for a fun one to do. I love reading tag posts to learn more about fellow bloggers and their preferences!
1 // Do you remember your first makeup item?
It had to be either a black eyeliner (not sure which brand) or a Cover Girl icy blue eye shadow.
2 // Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?
Benefit Roller Lash. Oh my goodness I don’t know what took me so long to get on this band wagon. The perfect mascara for me lasts all day and adds curl to my lashes without needing to use an eyelash curler which this one does. Continue reading
These past few months I have been living a pretty minimal makeup life so once again I don’t have a ton of products to talk about in my monthly favourites. However, there were a few items that were in heavy rotation so I thought I’d give them props anyways! Continue reading
The Sephora VIB Sale is still underway but I did my shopping last weekend when the sale started for rouge members. I actually for the most part didn’t stray too far from my list and restrained from purchasing everything on said this. I think this is the first time I’ve only purchase ONE palette during the fall sale. Nonetheless I am excited about what I did pick up and am looking forward to starting to play with it all!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Halloween is my favourite holiday! I just love getting dressed up and going out! It’s so much fun. I usually start thinking about and planning for halloween a few months in advance however with how busy this summer and fall were, I ended up pulling together costumes for myself and my husband less than a week before the event we went to last weekend. I decided to be a devil, which meany my husband ended up being an angel. Considering how little time it took to put together these costumes I’m quite pleased with how they turned out!
The inspiration for the devil costume really does centre around makeup. I wanted to do something dark and a devil was the first thing that came to mind.
What an unusually busy summer and fall it has been! I have had a super busy last few months but I’m settled into my new house, my makeup is unpacked and I have time to start working on blog content again! With the Sephora VIB Sale starting this weekend for Rouge members I thought I’d talk about a few of the items I have my eye on. As usual it’s a pretty open ended wish list, I always stray from my list when I actually go to fill my cart but it’s fun to start looking ahead of time. So let’s chat about the items I have my eye on! Continue reading
Well over a month ago the Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Vault Collection finally launched after a controversial delay due to quality control issues. I debated whether or not to jump on board when the collection finally did launch but, controversial or not, I enjoy Jaclyn’s videos and I enjoyed the selection of colours in the palettes. My blog had also just turned 3 so I decided to treat myself. Rather than talking about all four at the same time I thought I’d break them up a bit so today we are going to take a look at Bling Boss and Ring the Alarm. Keep reading for swatches and a makeup look from each palette! Continue reading
After an evening of cruising YouTube, a video by fellow Canadian Beauty Blogger and superb YouTuber, Chelle of Makeup Your Mind caught my eye. These days a unique video topic on YouTube is pretty far and few between but somehow she always manages to keep it fresh! The video that caught my eye this time was her 5 Neglected Palettes I’m Using This Autumn video. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it. It really got me thinking about my neglected eyeshadow palettes and which ones I am going to make an effort of using more this fall.
It had been awhile since I saw an eye shadow palette and it really made me feel something. A palette that I was so excited for that I practically counted down the days until it’s release. That was until the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Palette was finally revealed. This palette just spoke to me. The shade selection felt unique and the purple and pink tones that rule the palette are so very me. Though this palette isn’t quite new anymore, since I didn’t blog much this summer I am finally getting around to sharing my thoughts on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Palette now.

A few weeks ago I received an order that I had placed from Morphe! They recently (within the last few months?) opened up a Canadian website as they now have a warehouse here that they ship from. This was amazing news as Morphe’s shipping costs to Canada were generally pretty steep. On top of this they had a 20% sale for Canada Day so I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to order a couple things I had my eye on. I just love their eye shadow and their brushes so much! The quality is fantastic and the prices are so affordable and even more so now that they ship from IN Canada. Wooo! Continue reading
