Ipsy July 2015 Unboxing
Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of posts, time is in high demand lately, more so than usual it seems. I have a TON of posts planned (I’m literally on July 5 of my ‘blog schedule’ yikes), I am now waiting for the weather to be a bit better so I can get better quality photos with the natural sunlight, hopefully tomorrow! For now, I’d like to share with you what I got in my July Ipsy bag. This month’s theme was Summer Lovin’. I feel that the products I got really do embody the summer theme well. The bag is pretty cute as well, I love the bright…

Drugstore Haul Plus Tangle Teezer
It’s about that time when I share a few of the items I’ve bought over the past few weeks. Maybelline Brow Drama in Soft Brown – This product is great for those minimal makeup days on its own, or used to add a bit of extra colour after filling them in. It kept my brows in place all day without that stiff feeling. I’m actually preferring to use this over my Anastasia Brow Gel at the moment. Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 10 Light – This concealer was featured in my last drugstore haul post (here), and I’ve picked up another, this time in 10 Light. This is a better…

Ipsy June 2015 Unboxing
The theme for this month’s bag is Swim into Beauty. The bag is cute again this month. The material reminds me of scuba suits, it’ll be perfect for bringing to the beach throughout the summer. I love the pop of colour on the zipper, the neon pink really stands out. BioRepublic fibre masks. This is what I am most excited for! I got the Aloe Rescue Revitalizing, Green Tea Detox Purifying, and Cucumber Breeze Soothing. Getting to try 3/4 of the masks this company offers is fabulous! These will be put to good use for sure! trèStiQue Mini Shadow Crayon in Marimoto Pink Pearl. As the shade…

My First Mac Products | Mac Haul
These are my first ever Mac products. I know, where have I been? It’s not even that I don’t have any higher-end beauty products, but something about entering a Mac store was too intimidating. Even now, I’m cheating a bit because Jeremy bought me these items as a gift. My gruff, country boy mechanic braved the Mac store donning his camo hat and greasy stained jeans. When he returned he said he got some weird looks and giggles, but also a “Wow, you must love her! My boyfriend would never buy me makeup – but he is now!” I have the best man! Enough blabbering – onto the products: These…

Review | Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chisled to Perfection Face Contouring and Highlighting Kit
I hauled this contour kit in my last post, and promised a full review – so here it is! I bought this palette at Sephora (here) for $50CDN The reason I chose this particular contour palette over say, the Anastasia one, or the Kat Von D one was because it was cheaper, and contains the shades I would get the most use out of anyway. Also, the individual powders contain more actual product (per shade, not entire palette). These powders are super blendable, which is exactly what I look for in a contour and bronzer powder. You don’t want to end up with a muddy looking streak under your…

All I Needed Was a Toner… | Mini Sephora Haul
Recently ebates.com celebrated their birthday by offering special deals on their site. If you haven’t checked them out before – you definitely should! One of the deals was 16% cash back at Sephora.com – how could I resist? The only product I actually ‘needed’ was a hydrating toner but Sephora offers free shipping for orders over $75 so obviously I need a splurge item as well .. right? Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic – I have heard great reviews on this product and needed a hydrating toner, especially to use before applying my makeup. It contains lavender which calms and refreshes, and serine which promotes softness and moisture balance. So far…

Drugstore Haul | May 2015
Today I’m going to share with you my most recent purchases from the drugstore I’ve made throughout the month of May, as well as two items from Marshalls. The two 3×3 lipstick holder’s are the items I bought from Marshalls for $4.99 each. I thought this was a great deal because I’ve been looking at a 24 piece off Amazon for $20. I will definitely pick up another if I see them again but as I’m sure you know with those stores if you don’t grab it when you see it, it probably won’t be there when you go back. The next thing I bought was the Maybelline Lash Sensational…

Ipsy May 2015 Unboxing
I’ve only been subscribed to Ipsy for a few months, I wrote a post on the first one I received in February. In that post I also go over the details of the subscription, so if you’re not sure about pricing etc. go on over to check that out. The theme for this months bag is Jetsetter. First off, can we talk about how cute this makeup bag is this month? I cannot wait to carry this around in my purse with me! It reads: ‘Contents: My Life. Breakups to Makeup’. Love it. This bag is also a different shape from the others I’ve received, it’s almost square, whereas the…

FOTD – Where The Light Is
After writing my post on the Colourpop x Kathleen Lights collaboration, I thought I should show you guys this foursome in action. For this look I loosely followed the tutorial that Kathleen Lights has up on her channel – watch it here. As I said in my previous post, the texture of these shadows is the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced; but I kind of love it! I have yet to find the perfect brushes to apply these shadows with, I believe they’d work best with more dense brushes, or your fingers of course. Base: Hourglass Veil Mineral primerCoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation in 105 Classic IvoryMaybelline Instant Age Rewind…
