TAG: I Love Fall!

I'll admit it, Fall isn't my favourite season. Winter definitely takes the cake; though there's something really nice about Autumn... it slowly eases you into the cold after a few months of sweltering heat. 

I've only done one other tag before and thought it was a good time to try another! This one in particular caught my eye because it's interesting to see everyone's favourite things about Autumn. I've modified a few of the questions and added one of my own. If you happen to do this tag please leave a link to it in the comments below!

Review: Wet 'N' Wild Trio in Walking on Eggshells

I got this trio back when I purchased the Comfort Zone Palette. It seemed like a nice alternative to that palette because it has nice, warm colours where the other palette has otherwise cooler ones. It's also great for travelling because the packaging is strong and compact, and it also comes with nice little brushes (if you don't mind sponge tip applicators when you're on the go).

Review: L'OREAL Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in the last few months, I've been super busy preparing for my last year of high school. And then there's the whole post-secondary situation... so I hope you'll forgive me! I have a few posts coming up that I've neglected, and then it's straight to posts for autumn!

Today I have a review of the new L'oreal BB Cream. I've actually had this for about a month, and I think that gave me enough time to actually work with it and see if it changed the look of my skin.

Review: Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone Palette

I've heard great things about Wet 'n' Wild's eyeshadows for quite some time now, but for some reason the brand's a little difficult to locate in Canada. I remember going to Shoppers when I was younger and getting glittery lip glosses from them, but now I'm not sure if they've been pulled out of my local drugstores. However, I came across their section in Walmart and had to pick a few things up!

Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on their Comfort Zone eyeshadow palette, which features two sets of neutrals that you can coordinate to create various makeup looks. They label the eyeshadows by their intended purpose (browbone, eyelid, crease and definer) but you can obviously use them on your eyes wherever you think they'll look best.

(Since they don't have separate names, I'll be referring to the eyeshadows by the first letter of where they're supposed to be used: i.e. B1, E1...etc.)

Nail of the Day: Essie's Mezmerised

Long time no blog! I'm sorry I haven't been very active on here, but since it's summer and I've got all the boring stuff out of the way, I've taken it upon myself to take it easy. These pictures are actually quite old, but this nail polish is so gorgeous I just had to share it with you guys!

Review: Sephora + Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Eyeshadow Palette

You guys... I did it. I purchased the lovechild of Sephora and Pantone. This palette is a collection of eyeshadows, ranging from rich neutrals to vibrant brights, all inspired by the beauty of summer. This post is going to be a doozy, seeing as there are 35 eyeshadows in this palette, but to see my thoughts on this palette please keep reading!

Review: Tokidoki Cromatico Eyeshadow

I stopped by the Tokidoki section of Sephora when I was there last and happened to notice that they were 'saying goodbye' with a huge sale on all of their stuff. I hadn't really tried any of their products before now because they were quite pricey for what you were getting, but decided to pick up their Cromatico eyeshadow in Choco for $9!

June Favourites!

Better late than never, right? I don't have a lot of favourites this month because I've been so busy with second semester exams and I also haven't worn a lot of makeup because it's been so hot!

Makeup Wishlist

I'm sorry that still haven't posted my June favourites... I went to my friend's cottage over the weekend and tried to do that post ahead of time but that never really happened. As I'm in summer mode and am extremely lazy, today I'm bringing you the products I'm lusting after from Sephora!

SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE - Shades of Nature Eyeshadow Palette

"An expansive palette of 35 silky eye shadows inspired by the beauty of summer."

Need I say more? Look how beautiful those shades are! Though I know I'd never use a canary yellow eyeshadow, I'd get my use out of all the other colours (obviously favouring the neutrals, but a girl can dream, right?).

Nail of the Day: Nicole by OPI's Shell Me The Truth

I saw Shell Me The Truth in Shoppers a few days ago and had to pick it up! The first thing about this polish that caught my eye is the duo-chrome. It has a fairly normal base (a blue based pink) but when your fingers move, your eyes catch the lovely gold shimmer!

Product Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

As someone who lives in Canada, I'm not really in the prime location to purchase asian-made BB creams and I'm a little scared to order one online, so I've kind of settled for Maybelline's new Dream Fresh BB Cream. I didn't have a lot of faith in this product when I first bought it because the testers were very watery (and I had assumed that asian BB creams are very thick and creamy) but I needed a foundation with SPF because my Clinique Stay Matte foundation has none at all.

Nail of the Day: Essie's Mamba

I've had my eye on a certain row on the Essie stand that has a bunch of lovely pink/nude (such as Buy Me a Cameo and Eternal Optimist) colours in it. Mamba is the first I own from that row so far!

Favourite Naked Palette Combinations!

I know it's been out for a while, but I thought I'd share my favourite ways to wear the eyeshadows in the Naked Palette. I hope you'll share yours in the comments below!

Nail of the Day: Essie's Turquoise & Caicos

Today's NOTD is brought to you by Essie's Turquoise and Caicos. I picked up this polish recently because it's the perfect blend of blue, green and turquoise. It reminds me of a blue raspberry Icee! It's also a cult favourite, and I had to see if it was worth the hype!

Product Review: MAC's Highlighting Powder in Crew

I wanted my first purchase at MAC to be a little special, which is why I decided to pick up their limited edition high-lighting powder in Crew, part of their Hey, Sailor!  collection for summer 2012.

Nail of the Day: Essie's Vanity Fairest

I recently saw Vanity Fairest on Ingrid (missglamorazzi)'s nails and had to pick it up. I wore it over top of Essie's Grow Stronger base coat to make sure it applied smoothly.

Beauty Haul!

A little collection of makeup products I bought on two recent drugstore trips. I'm aware that I have an Essie addiction, no need to comment on it!

Product Review & Swatches: New Foundations

Being fair, I have an extremely difficult time finding foundations that don't make me look orange. This whole situation started because I finally realized the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in 103 True Ivory is not the right shade for my skin-tone, even though it is the second fairest of them all. Because I loved the matte finish it gave my skin, I decided to try out the lightest shade they have to offer... That's when I went on a foundation rampage.

Product Review: butter LONDON's Matte Topcoat

I've been on the hunt for a matte topcoat for the longest time, and had almost lost hope when I found that my local drugstores no longer carried Essie's Matte About You. I also knew that butter LONDON had one, but it always seemed to be sold out when I went to look for it. After stocking the butter LONDON stand for a very long time, I finally found the Matte Finish Shine-Free Topcoat!

May Favourites!

Ugh, I can't believe it's June tomorrow! I know I haven't been consistent with blog posts throughout the month of May, so there my be a few unfamiliar products in this month's favourites. I promise reviews are coming soon!
