Hi guys! Today’s Makeup of the Day is inspired by Kathy Lei’s post It Was All Yellow! I loved her take on a bold, bright yellow, and while that colour would not work on me, I decided to dig out my Urban Decay Electric Palette and add a bit of neon pink to my makeup today! You should definitely check out Kathy’s post as the looks she created in it are beautiful!
Hi guys! It’s time for another Love for Lipstick post and this one finishes off my last haul! My next Love for Lipstick post will be a beauty from the drugstore, so keep an eye out for that, but today we are going to talk about the lovely Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks!
Application with the doe-foot applicator and the slightly moussey formula is easy! Some liquid lipsticks go from zero to all over the place but not this one! With this one I am always able to get a precise application.
1. Freshly applied at 8 am 2. After eating lunch (soup) at 12:30 pm 3. Last check-in at 5 pm
The wear-time is also pretty great as well! It wore a little bit in the centre from eating/drinking throughout the day but with this shade it didn’t look obvious at all. Upon a normal glance you would never notice in person. It doesn’t feel drying throughout the day and almost keeps a very very slight tackiness to it for the first bit half of the day. It also doesn’t transfer at all. Continue reading
Hi guys! It’s been awhile since I did a wish list so I thought it would be fun to do one focused on products that I am eyeing up for the summer months. I don’t generally follow season-specific rules, but as the weather changes so does the needs of my skin, and I just find myself reaching for brighter colours!
Urban Decay | Vice Lipstick
I’ve been eagerly anticipating the launch of the Vice Lipsticks from Urban Decay, mainly because I love, love, love their Revolution Lipsticks. I’m really hoping these will be just as good, or better! I do like the different formulas in the range and like usual, I am drawn to the mattes. I would love to try all the formulas, but right now I am enticed by Vanity Kills (Mega Matte) and Backtalk (Comfort Matte). Vanity Kills looks like a fun lavender shade for the summer. Backtalk looks like a perfect everyday mauvey-nude which would go with a more “natural” looking every day look. I tend to wear less makeup on an average summer day since I’m doing more outdoor activities like going for a walk, hike or spending the weekend at the cottage.
Anastasia Beverly Hills | Modern Renaissance Palette
I absolutely loved the Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made Palette (and still do!) so it is no surprised I am drawn to this beauty. This looks like a beautiful array of pinks and warm-toned shades that again, would be perfect for the summer! There looks like there are some great neutrals for a very simple look, but lots of brights if you want to add some colour! Continue reading
Hi guys! I’ve been posting like crazy about the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection lately. You can see my previous posts in the following links: Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette, MOTD: Let it Glow! & Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eye Palette. To finish off this mini “series” I wanted to do a look using both palettes! They compliment each other beautifully so I couldn’t wait to pair them!
Hi guys! It’s time for my round-up of the past week’s posts. If you missed any, you will find links to them all here!
Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eye Palette
I was short a post last week, but I’ll do my best to make up for that with an extra one in the coming weeks. My life got a bit busy last week when the addition of a new family member on Friday got in the way of finalizing my post for that day. But, with that said, meet Bunnelby! Bonus points if you know (without googling) where the name comes from! She is a young dwarf rabbit! She is still getting used to us (and the dogs) so I’ve spent most of my weekend working with her to build trust.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
xoxo,
Robyn

Hi guys! I don’t normally do a monthly empties post (I did a “Empties So Far” style post in April) but in May I finished enough stuff to be worthy of it’s own post! I was pretty excited when I looked at my stash of finished products and saw this many items, so let’s go through them!
Garnier | SkinActive Micellar Water (Waterproof)
I was really sad to finish this product. It’s really great for removing making and really cut time in my night-time routine. Prior to using this I was removing my face makeup and eye makeup with different products. Definitely a great product, this was my first Micellar Water and I look forward to trying more. Would I repurchase it? Yes! Absolutely. I also did a first impressions post on this product which you can find here!
Spectro | Cleanser for Blemish-Prone Skin
I can’t believe how long this thing lasted me. In fact, I can’t even remember when I purchased it. This is a very gentle cleanser that does a great job at cleansing the skin. I chose the blemish-prone skin formula since my skin airs on the oily side. I actually don’t get many blemishes but I find this one helps with my oil. Would I repurchase it? Yes, and I already did! Continue reading
Hi guys! I normally don’t post until Wednesday but I was too excited and had to share this right away. Last week when the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eye Palette launched I jumped onto the Sephora website and grabbed one. The Face Palette was so amazing that I just couldn’t pass this up. So today will be another “first impressions” style post so I’ll have a look with this palette coming shortly as well. As I type this I have just received it in the mail so I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but I just had to get some swatches up for you guys!
This palette is so stunning and looks like a great addition to my makeup collection. I’ve never used Becca eye shadows but I’ve heard great things! The colours are in the warm/neutral family and include two shimmers and three mattes. Basically, you have everything you need for a beautiful eye look. Continue reading
Hi guys! It’s time to go over my monthly favourites! I was going to film a video to go along with this however I have a cold so my voice sounds terrible. But, writing about these wonderful products lifts my spirits and makes me feel better!
Too Faced | Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Lady Balls
I am obsessed with this liquid lipstick. It’s a beautiful true and is super long-wearing. You can find my rave review of it here! I can’t wait to pick up more shades from this line, the wear-time is unbelievable. And, who can resist a hilarious name like Lady Balls?
L to R: Too Faced Lady Balls & Kat Von D Double Dare
Kat Von D | Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Double Dare
I have definitely been having a liquid lipstick moment lately and this is another one that I have been wearing lots. It’s described as a cocoa blush shade and I think it is great for everyday wear. I’ll be reviewing it for one of my next Love for Lipstick post to wrap up my last haul. It has great wear time and feels like it goes with everything. Continue reading
Hi guys! I’m back with another post in my Love for Lipstick Series! In my last haul I talked about the two shades from the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche line that I had picked up. I hadn’t tried this line and it’s fairly new so I had to pick up two because they both looked so pretty!
So let’s start off by talking about the application. These lipsticks feel very creamy and almost a bit thick to apply but don’t feel heavy once on. They are richly pigmented and only require one strategic swipe to get beautiful lips. They set down to a demi-matte/satin finish. So, it lasts all-day (but does fade as you go) and also feels super comfortable. This hydrating formula was made with nutrients, vitamins and omega-oils to help quench your lips and keep them looking healthy.
Pickled Ginger: 1. Freshly applied at 8 am; 2. Pre-lunch check-in at 12 pm; 3. Post-lunch check-in at 12:45 pm; 4. End of the work-day check-in at 5 pm
