  • Sephora VIB Sale Haul | April 2016

    Finally! My online Sephora order took forever to get to me. I picked up two of these items in store, and ordered in the other three online. I’ve been wanting to get this post up for you guys since the sale ended, but, like I said, I just received my products. Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian – Lately, I’ve been reaching for lip glosses a lot more than I have in years. I wanted a great pinky nude gloss to add to my collection, one that wasn’t too sticky. There’s nothing I hate worse than my hair getting stuck in lip gloss. I find the cooling sensation really…

  • February Favourites | 2016

    Sorry my favourites are a bit late this month! But I hope the fact that I have a ton to share with you this month will make up for it 🙂 L’Oréal Hair Expertise Arginine Resist X3 – I’ve written an entire post about these three products, which you can read here. My hair hasn’t been in this great of a condition since before bleach two or three years ago. My hair is stronger, healthier, and falls out significantly less! LUSH Mask of Magnaminty – I’ve been suffering from terrible breakouts over the past month. Using this super cleansing mask all over once a week, plus overnight on my targeted…

  • KathleenLights Made Me Buy It

    Hey guys! If you’d like to know where I’ve been,  you can check out my last post here. I’d like to start a new series on my blog, similar to the ‘YouTube Made Me Buy It’ videos that have been floating around on YouTube for quite sometime now, but with a twist, I’d like to focus on one YouTuber at a time. I watch so many amazing ‘beauty gurus’, ‘makeup artists’, ‘makeup junkies’, whatever you’d like to call them, (or what they like to call themselves), that convince me to buy a product for one reason or another. I follow them all for different reasons, whether it be personality alone,…

  • Beauty Haul | Drugstore, ColourPop & Sephora

    Hey guys! Miss me? I haven’t posted in about a week and a half. Long story short, midterm exams happened, and I’ve officially launched a YouTube channel to work as a complement to this blog! So, if you’d like to see similar content that you’ve been reading here, but in video format, check out my channel emilynmax, and please do subscribe and give lots of feedback! Editing is much harder than I had ever anticipated, I’m still trying to master just cutting out clips and stitching them back together. Anyway, that was a bit of an update for you. I’ve linked below my most recent video, which is a big…

  • January Favourites | 2016

      January was a whirlwind! Max and I both had birthdays, and I started back at classes. The year 2016 had a great start; leaps and bounds were made towards my goals this year. However, as I am typing this, I am home from school with no voice and an awful cough, and Max is home from preschool with the flu and a high fever. I am hoping we are both better soon (and I don’t get the flu to top off my cold) and that this is not an indication of how the rest of February is going to go. The products that have received the most love this…

  • What I Got For Christmas | 2015

    Today I would like to share with you a handful of the gifts I received for Christmas. I’ve chosen items that I thought were relevant to what we normally talk about here at emilynmax. I will do my best to keep descriptions brief, and am open to full review suggestions in the comments. This Christmas I received a ton of LUSH products, which I’m super excited to use. I’ve photographed a few above, but not all. Golden Wonder bath bomb – which is covered in gold glitter, and contains a turquoise surprise inside.Celestial Moisturizer – formulated for sensitive skin.Love and Light Hand Cream –  This smells incredible!Buffy Body Butter –…

  • Review | Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

    The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation has been hyped up in the beauty community over the past few months.

  • Sephora VIB Sale Haul | November 2015

    I was beyond excited to finally be eligible for the VIB sale at Sephora, as this was my first year as a VIB. I set myself a limit of 5 items, so I wanted to ensure they were all products I have been wanting for ages, and that were highly rated in the beauty community. Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser – I have used up a couple cleansers and was in need of something new to try. This claims to remove all makeup and deep clean pores, which is definitely what I need. I like a cleanser that is gentle, yet still cleans my skin well. I will update in…

  • Top 5 Autumn/Winter Lipsticks | 2015

      Today I wanted to talk to you about my top five lipsticks for autumn/winter this year. I had a bit of a hard time coming up with these five, because many were too similar, or were not available anymore, and I wanted to share ones you could still pick up if you wanted. I’ve chosen 3 standard lipsticks, and 2 liquid lipsticks. The four starting on the left are matte, and the last one on the right is and cream formula. The matte lip trend has definitely continued into fall, and I much prefer the matte formula on darker tones because they are more long-lasting, and I’m not worried…
