Hi guys! Finding the perfect concealer can sometimes be an almost impossible task depending on your skin tone. I always have a hard time finding one that is light enough to conceal and highlight my under eye area. For awhile I was finding they were either too dark, too warm or didn’t have a great applicator. I think I have found one that meets my needs and that is unsurprisingly the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer. It feels like a Holy Grail to me!

Hi guys! Since are getting into the holiday season which is full of parties and other festivities, I thought it would be fun to start posting some holiday inspired looks. I’m not sure how many exactly I will do, but I can tell you this will be the first of the bunch! I love the holiday season, no matter what you personally celebrate, there is a warm cheerful spirit in the air. Continue reading
Hi guys! Yet another month has come to an end and it is time to take a look at what my favourites for the month were! I’m really enjoying these favourites posts as it gives me a chance to reflect back to the past month and look at what I wore the most. Continue reading
Hi guys! Here is yet another look from a birthday haul palette! I did do a previous post using the Vice 4 Palette from Urban Decay but this time I’m going to talk more about the palette and also do some swatches!
Hi guys! As some of you know, yesterday was my birthday, so I wanted to do something fun with my makeup for the occasion. I pretty much lusted after the Vice 4 Palette by Urban Decay the second that I saw it. It’s so breathtaking. The shadow that called out the most to me was Flame so my look focuses on that shade. I saw Tati use it in her first impression of the palette and that alone pretty much sold this palette to me.
Hi guys! Today I turn the big 2-6 and I am a little amazed that another year has gone by already. It feels like just yesterday I was in Saint Luca on my honeymoon celebrating my 25th birthday a year ago on this very day. 25 was a great year… my husband and I added Dex to our family, we started going to camp more, and I started the blog! My parents spoiled me this year with a Sephora.ca shopping spree so I thought I would share with you the goodies that I scored! I ordered them ahead of time so that everything would be here on time. I’ll be rocking some of these later tonight for my birthday celebrations.
Hi guys! It’s Double Post Saturday… This post was actually supposed to be up yesterday but I have been sick all week and then busy getting ready for Halloween. Somehow October has come to an end and it is time to round up my favourites for the month. Is it just me or did October fly by faster than any other month this year? Even so, I managed to get sick not once, but twice. It seems I started my month sick, was healthy for 2 weeks and then am ending the month sick again. Just my luck!
Hi guys! This is an exciting post because I don’t just have my look for Halloween, but I also have the look that I did on one of my best friends, Chrissy! We got ready together yesterday before going out for Halloween and this was the result! This was the first time I’ve ever did someone else’s makeup and I’m happy with the results! Her makeup was already partially done, so I did her eyes and cheeks. Since she was a donut I had some freedom to have fun with her eye makeup, so with that said, I’m going to go into more detail about her look.
Hi guys! A few posts ago I unboxed my very first birchbox! In the box I got a Model Co lipstick in the shade Stiletto so I thought I would do a look where the red lip is the focal point. The lipstick was very creamy to apply, dried to a demi-matte finish and was very long wearing. I was pretty impressed with this lipstick! None of my closer up pictures of this look turned out, so I didn’t really get a good one of the eye makeup. Since the red lip was front and centre, the eye wasn’t really anything special but I’ll list the products I used below as per usual!
Hi guys! Today I have some products that I have recently (within the past month or so) used up. I absolutely love watching empties videos on YouTube so I thought I would bring the concept over to my blog. In case you haven’t seen an empties video (or blog post), it involves saving up your empty products and then sharing them with your opinion on if you would re-purchase that item. If my husband is reading this, I swear it isn’t hoarding, and yes I am going to throw them out now.
