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!
Hi guys! TRESemme was kind enough to send me a few of their products from their new Beauty-Full Volume line to try out. I don’t often switch up my hair products so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something different.
This hair system is based on the trend I’ve been seeing all over the internet of conditioning your hair first and then shampooing second. This is supposed to reduce the conditioner build-up and create more volume. I’ve always looked at that trend with skepticism because my curly hair loooves conditioner. The idea of washing it out after applying it seems strange to me. Continue reading
Hi guys! Another week has flown right by. The husband and I were both back to work this week so it was pretty uneventful. I actually had a much better week at work than I anticipated though which was good. It’s never fun going back after being off but the rest of the week made up for it.
1. Max knows how to play up the puppy dog eyes! 2. My yummy dinner from the Prospector. 3. Dex in his signature pose… on his back with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth.
I didn’t really do much in the evening throughout the week. Just the usual… working on the blog, playing video games and working out! I’ve managed to maintain a pretty good workout routine at home which is nice. I did make it to one yoga class this week which was fantastic! Continue reading
Hi guys! Today I have another video tutorial for you using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made Palette. I have been dying to use the mint green shade Isla so I decided to test it out on camera and come up with a look that focuses on it. The result is a minty smoky eye that I am really happy with!
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!
Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday! Last week I included the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure shade Commander in Chic in my Drugstore Haul. I didn’t wait too long before putting this beautiful polish on my nails. It’s such a unique purple/brown/grey colour. It looks just as beautiful on the nails as it looked in the bottle.
Products Used:
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic (2 coats)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat (1 coat)
My only complaint with the last polish I used from this line was that it look forever to feel completely dry. Due to that I kept denting and ruining the polish while I was waiting for it to dry. This time I put a fast drying top coat on in hopes to fix that. It did help with the dry time but I noticed on my right hand (not pictured) the polish looked like it shrunk quite a bit at the tips. I’m thinking I either didn’t top coat fast enough, or I didn’t wrap the tips well enough. It was a bit weird! It didn’t look that bad though so I just left it be. Other than that, I’m much happier with the dry time and I’ve had it on for about 4 days now and just have minimal chipping. Most of which is on my right hand.
What do you have on your nails today? Let me know in the comments!
xoxo,
Robyn

Hi guys! I can’t believe it is Sunday again. My husband and I were off work all week and it just flew by. We didn’t get nearly as much done as we had hoped (or anything for that matter) but we relaxed. I really, really don’t want to go back to reality tomorrow.
1. My snuggly puppies who enjoyed having us home for the week 2. Homemade pizza and wine 3. Exploding Kittens
This week aside from our usual relaxing activities (Netflix and video games) we did do a few exciting things. We went to see Deadpool on Monday which was a really great movie. We had been looking forward to it for a long time and it did not disappoint at all.
On Tuesday we went to see Jeremy Hotz, a comedian, at the Auditorium. This was our third (I think) time seeing him. My husband really likes stand-up comedy and enjoys him. I always enjoy him live as well. It was a fun evening of laughter. Continue reading
Hi guys! I posted the other day that I picked up the Maybelline Lash Sensational in Blackest Black when I went through my most recent Drugstore Haul. I’ve been testing it for the last few days and I’m ready to share my thoughts about it. I’m happy to report that this mascara is worth the hype!
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
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?
