Blurred, Not Bold
This beauty trend has been trying to gain traction for almost a year but I think I’m finally ready to hop on this train. It is the blurred, blotted, soft matte, stain effect lip. Could I have possibly used any more adjectives? The first of which I saw was from my fave – ColourPop with their Ultra Blotted Lip US$6 followed by the Blur Lux Lipstick US$7. Although I am partial to ColourPop because of their affordable prices and amazing shade ranges, many other brands have released products which will give you a similar effect on the lips at a variety of price points: NYX Powder Puff Lippie Powder Lip…

ColourPop Haul | KathleenLights Collab & More
When ColourPop sent out the email promoting their amazing Labour Day sale, I immediately jumped online to place an order. I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to pick up the latest ColourPopxKathleenLights products, and because I patiently bided my time, I got two free Ultra Matte Lips which is a fabulous deal! Crème Gel Liner in Mr. Bing – Ever since these liners launched I’ve wanted to try them [I feel like I say that about every ColourPop launch], especially the bright shades. I picked up Mr. Bing to try out the formula first before I went all crazy and bought ten shades. Mr. Bing is a beautiful warm…

Summer Beauty Wishlist | 2016
These are the top five beauty items I’d like to add to my collection this season. The last few months, I’ve been really expanding my collection because of all the new launches. Just when I thought it was time to slow down, there were three launches I got super excited about, a skincare item with rave reviews I want to try for myself, and a recommended blush. My poor, poor wallet. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette – This beautiful, bold, warm palette has my name written all over it. I think I watch a new tutorial on it everyday. The brights looked daunting to me at first, but this…

ColourPop Haul | April 2016
When ColourPop recently hit 2 million ‘ColourPopettes’ they were giving away a limited edition lippie stix with every order while supplies lasted. I thought it was the perfect time to try some of their newer products I’ve never used before as a free lipstick offset the cost of shipping in my mind. I picked up one shade of each product I wanted to try most, to test out the formula before I bought a ton of shades, which we all know is going to happen. [L-R: Lumière 2, Smokin’ Whistles, Magic Wand, Poppin] Lippie Stix in Poppin – I have been a fan of ColourPop’s lipstick formula for quite some…
