I’ve been noticing a pattern with the lipsticks I’ve been wearing a lot lately. They are all fairly neutral and go with a variety of looks. I wear them with colourful looks and I wear them with more natural looking makeup looks. With all this said, I thought I’d share with you my current three everyday lippies. Continue reading
While I love experimenting with makeup, I always come back to a classic warm makeup look. My annual Cinco de Mayo party seemed like a great occasion to rock one. For this makeup look I decided to try out the Makeup Revolution Neutrals 2 Palette that I hauled a few weeks ago from Orabel Beauty. It may seem a bit risky to try a palette for the first time before a party but I had full confidence that this palette wouldn’t let me down. Continue reading
Almay is a brand that I haven’t really had much exposure to. I know many people who rave about their products but just hadn’t gotten around to trying them for myself. I was trilled to be able to try a bunch of Almay’s new products for spring which were recently gifted to me for review purposes. The products that I will be featuring for this post range from eyeshadows to lip glosses. Keep on reading for my first impressions and two makeup looks using these products. Continue reading
I love going through my makeup collection each season and re-visiting products that remind me the most of said season. For spring I am drawn towards bright colours as well as pastels so I thought I’d share with you 3 pastel highlighters that are perfect for the season.
Prismatic Amethyst is probably one of my favourite highlighters in my collection. It is a beautiful and pigmented purple-pink shade that looks so stunning on the cheekbones. I love how so little goes a long way so you don’t really need to pack it on to achieve results.
I have a soft spot for pink highlighters but Charming Pink is probably one of my favourites. It really is great for everyday wear and is buildable.
L to R: Becca Prismatic Amethyst, Colourpop Hippo & Laura Gellar Charming Pink
Who doesn’t love a budget friendly product? Colourpop makes fabulous highlighters and their Super Shock formula is just so unique. A couple quick taps of this product to the cheekbones makes this so user friendly. The icy lavender shade, Hippo, is actually quite wearable as it doesn’t look too purple on the skin.
What are your favourite highlighters for spring? Let me know in the comments below.
I love a good mail day. Yesterday my Orabel order arrived which made it a great mail day. I’ve followed Orabel for quite awhile on Instagram but this was actually my first time ordering from them. Orabel is a Canadian online store that brings brands typically found on American and European websites to Canadians. My focus for this order was Makeup Revolution products but I also threw in a Morphe product to get myself over the free shipping threshold. Continue reading
With each new season it’s fun to look through my makeup collection and think about which lipsticks I think will define the next few months. Spring typically inspires us to start wearing brighter colours (even when the forecast is still a bit cold and snowy) so it’s no surprise that it’s a common theme with my top 5 choices for spring lipsticks this year. Continue reading
The Sephora Spring VIB Sale seems like it is a lot later than usual this year. It sounds like the sale is happening around the beginning of May this year. With that in mind, I decided to put together my annual wish list! I honestly think I’ll only purchase a couple of items, but it is nice to put together a list of all the products I’m interested in… just in case 😊 Continue reading
Did March actually happen? I think I blinked because we are now in the first week of April and a fourth of the way through 2019. March was a super busy month so I’m not surprised it came and went in a flash. I have a feeling April will be the same way. But alas, let’s chat about the products that I was loving in the month of March! Continue reading
The first quarter of 2019 has come and gone so naturally it is time to share with you the products that I’ve used up this past quarter. I’ve got quite a few great products to talk about so let’s just dive right in! Continue reading
Spring is a season that seems to be associated with bright colours, flowers and the grass finally turning green. However, here in Thunder Bay the reality is grey snow banks, possibly more snow and slightly warmer temperatures. The green grass and bright colours don’t come until much later… usually RIGHT before summer temperatures hit. So, I thought today I’d share a makeup look that reminds me more of the spring that I experience so I’ve used darker cool tones with a pop of brightness. Continue reading
