Sheer Makeup Favorites



I do love a good full face of makeup, don't get me wrong - it's always nice to go all out and have your makeup looking flawless, but more often than not I like to go for the quick, sheer makeup look that's fresh, fast and easy. With Spring right around the corner, a sheer and fresh face is right up my alley, so today I'm sharing some of my favorite products to achieve the look.


The Body Shop All in One BB Cream - This gives me the perfect amount of coverage, goes on smoothly, gives great hydration to the skin and lasts all day - perfect for those light-medium coverage lovers.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer - Not only is this my new favorite under eye concealer for covering my dark circles, but I've found it also works great for a light touch of coverage on any blemish you may have. It doesn't crease and blends seamlessly with any foundation I choose to use it with. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - This light weight powder is excellent for adding a touch of coverage and keep skin matte all day. I love it for both setting my foundation and concealer - the perfect all in one! 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural - This powder is just dark enough that it adds a nice bit of warmth to my face without being too heavy on the skin. During the Summer months this is the perfect all over face powder, but for this time of year it makes for a lovely light bronzed glow.

Elf Blush (Peachy Keen) - This blush adds a nice soft wash of color that perks up my complexion and also adds a nice glow with the golden subtle shimmer it has. 

MAC Paintpot (Bare Study ) - This cream product has been a long time favorite for its stay all day capabilities, and the lovely wash of color it adds to my eyes. It can be easily paired with a little winged liner and some mascara for a simple eye look. 

Revlon Lip Butter (Pink Lemonade) - The formula of these is perfect for when you want just a subtle sheer wash of color and moisture to your lips, this one in particular adds a hint of pink which gives your lips a little extra something. This makes it easy to apply on the go and keeps your lips feeling hydrated. 


What are some of your sheer makeup favorites?

Valentines Lips | Three Ways

Whether you're going on a date with that special someone, choosing to stay and have a good pamper session, or doing a night out with friends, Valentines is a day for love. It's always nice to look nice, regardless of what you're doing on the 14th, so I've rounded up three combos - lip-spiration as it were -  that work perfectly with a variety of different makeup looks for whatever kind of V-day you're choosing to have.



Nude

For the nude lip I chose my favorite lip liner in Natural by Rimmel, and filled in my entire lips. Then I applied Revlon Soft Nude and topped it off with the Maybelline Color Elixir gloss in Nude Illusion.

Pink

I had a bit of a harder time deciding on a pink lip, but narrowed it down the Elf lip liner in ... , which I lined and filled in my lips with. Next I took one of my all time favorite pink lipsticks - Mac Creme Cup. I chose not to go with a gloss and keep it more on the creamy/natural looking end of things and I'm happy with the decision.

Red

Finally, and most boldly of all - I had to do a red of course (Valentines and red go hand in hand) - so I grabbed my only go to red of the past couple months. The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo is simply stunning.



I hope this little post gave you some inspiration! Let me know what your plans for Valentines are in the comments!

How To | Wear Pink Makeup the Non-Girly Way



I am certainly not the type of person that would consider herself to be a 'girly girl'. I know that logic seems a bit off considering I write a beauty blog about makeup and fashion, but really in terms of my life as a whole I cannot define myself as such. Although you would have an extremely hard time finding anything pink throughout my wardrobe aside from small details on an item I am not in the least opposed to wearing pink hues in my makeup looks. Pink is an especially lovely shade for this time of year because it can bring life and brightness to an otherwise dull complexion. I find wearing pink, wether it be on my lips, cheeks or eyes, can really make me look and feel much more fresh, and give my spirits a little boost as well.

Starting off with lips, probably the easiest way to pull off pink because of the wide variety of textures and intensities available. If you want to start at the more sheer end of things I really love the Rimmel Vinyl gloss in Keep a Secret, a light pink with shimmer. My choice pink lipstick is Mac Creme cup, which is excellent if you're looking for something pigmented, but by no means bright pink. If you've fallen for the balm/stain kind of products than something like the Revlon Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine, or the Rimmel Color Rush in Give Me a Cuddle would be excellent options - they are easy to apply and once the initial color has worn off, your lips are left with a lovely stained effect.

Cheeks are another way to add pink into your daily makeup routine, and there is a pink out there for everyone! Three of my favorites are all sporting the same 'rosey' type of undertone, which in my opinion is the easiest form of pink to wear for pretty well any skin tone out there - rose undertones in pinks make your cheeks look most natural, while still adding a glow. A new addition to my collection is Rimmels powder blush in Pink Rose which has a very slight shimmer to it. Mac mineralize blushes have always been a long time lover of mine because they are so easy to work with, and this one in Subtle Breeze is no exception. My favorite cream form product goes out to the Maybelline bouncy blush in Pink Plum, which is so soft, blendable and buildable.

Last, and probably the most difficult to pull off is eyes. I find with shades in the pink-red family it always works out best when you pair these shades with a good liner and lots of mascara. The easiest 'pink' shade in my collection to wear is certainly Mac All that Glitters, although it is much more on the champagne end of the spectrum. Two of my other favorites I wear in a very similar way - Elf mineral eyeshadow in Sweet and Urban Decay Grifter are both ones I love to rock on the bottom lash line with various looks on the lid. They're both lighter and add a beautiful glow to the eye. The most 'stop you in your tracks' of my picks has got to be Urban Decay Last Call - it's like the bolder sister to Mac Cranberry. I wear this best when it involves being smoked out with a matte black shadow, lots of eyeliner and mascara.

Beauty Favorites | January 2015



I don't know what it is about January but I always seem to be caught off guard at the end of it thinking - where did the month even go? All of a sudden its January 27th and I'm finding myself rushing to gather my monthly favorites together so I can finally get one of these posts up at the end of the actual month I'm talking about (lets cross our fingers I make it happen more than once!). Without further delay, lets get into these favorites, and start also making our way through the shortest (and most gloomy in my opinion) month of the year. 

First off, I found myself reaching for these couple face makeup items pretty much every single day this month except for the days I wore no makeup at all. Loreal True Match foundation was always a favorite of mine, and after repurchasing it a couple months back I've found it back in my everyday makeup bag from the depths of my makeup drawers. Perfectly paired with the foundation was my Benefit Erase Paste which does a double duty of blemish and under eye concealing. I've been pretty constant on my bronzer and concealer this month as well - Nars Laguna Bronzer paired with the Rimmel blush in Pink Rose have been my dream combo. 

As for the rest of my makeup I've been keeping it pretty simple as well. I've really been enjoying a more simple eye look with lots of mascara - the one I haven't been able to keep my hands off of is Loreal Miss Manga which I did a full review of this month as well. As for lips I have to say a shout out to one of my favorite bloggers and fellow Canadians Estee (Essie Button), as I saw in her Best Beauty Products of 2014 video that she mentioned the Revlon Balm Stain in Honey was a favorite of hers. Lets just say any lip product specifically that Estee calls her favorite of the entire year has got to be purchased, like.. yesterday.

Ready In A Rush | My Five Minute Face

Being rushed in the morning to get all the things done that you need to before you have to get out the door and on with what your day entails can be a struggle for everyone. Some days I just find myself wondering where the time has gone, and realize I need to get myself publicly presentable in only a matter of minutes. 

The look may change slightly (specifically my lip color of choice), but in general these are the products I use to get my face and hair looking fresh and awake without taking up any extra time. 




When time is of the essence I love to reach for a BB Cream. I've really enjoyed this Loreal Skin Beautifier BB - it primes, perfects, hydrates and corrects. It leaves my skin looking good and natural, but much improved on my bare face. Once I've applied my base I have to reach for a good concealer. The one I love to reach for is the Maybelline Age Rewind because it conceals my under eye circles, and also does a nice light cover up of any blemishes I may have going on. 

Brows are a must for me, I just don't feel like I look right if I don't give my brows a quick fill in. This Revlon Brow Fantasy is the quickest and best for the job, and there has been a reason I've been raving about it constantly lately. It's both a pencil and brow gel, so it seriously doesn't get any easier than this two in one product. 

To wake myself up a little more I like to add just a touch of color to my eyelids, and the easiest way for me to do that is with a cream product. You all know I love my Mac Paint Pots, but I adore the Maybelline Color Tattoos as well - today I used the shade 'Bad to the Bronze', simply applied with my finger tips. 

We're almost there, next is mascara. Obviously any mascara will work the exact same, I've just been really love this Miss Manga mascara from Loreal. When it comes down to it I can really skip the cream shadow step, but there is absolutely no skipping mascara for me, I truly don't feel human without it. 

Finally I like to add a touch of color and moisture to my lips, and my favorite product for being able to accomplish both is the Revlon Lip Butters - today I went with the shade 'sweet tart'. Once I've gotten all that done I spray some dry shampoo through my hair to freshen it up and then do my go to quick hair style of a couple bobby pins to pin my hair half up. 



There you have it! The products I use and steps involved in me getting ready in a rush!

December 2014 Beauty Favorites





I know, I know, it's basically half way through January of a new year now, but I figured better late than never. With that being said, here are my favorite beauty products that brought me into the new year!


Bath and Body Works Frosted Wonderland Body Cream
The scent of this is absolutely heavenly, and the formula is my favorite as far as body lotions go from Bath and Body Works - extremely moisturizing for this time of year especially. 

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation
I've previously mentioned this foundation in another favorites post, and have also done a review which you can read here. 

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume (waterproof)
This mascara is an old favorite. I decided to repurchase it a while back and can't believe I ever stopped using it. It is one of my top drugstore mascaras ever for sure. 

China Glaze Evening Seduction Polish
I truly love dark polishes all year round, but especially through the fall and winter. This has been my go to quite a bit lately - almost black, but not. It's actually a very deep purple shade that I find extremely flattering, long wearing and shiny, even without a top coat. 

Benefit Hoola Bronzer
This bronzer is completely matte (love), and has a cooler tone (also love), which makes it perfect to give you some color this time of year, but does the job without making you look overdone or orange. There's really no time of the year that I'm not obsessed with this bronzer. 

St. Ives Smooth and Nourished Oatmeal Scrub + Mask 
I've tried this product as a scrub, but I was not a huge fan, but I have absolutely loved it as a hydrating mask. I remove my makeup, cleanse my skin and then apply this for about 10-15 minutes once or twice a week. It leaves my skin feeling super soft, plump and hydrated and has really helped with some of the dryer areas around my nose and chin that I tend to get this time of year. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Full Color Lip Liner in Enchantment 
These lip liners are my absolute favorite from the drugstore and overall. This is the most perfect neutral plum shade - perfectly pair with many medium toned lipsticks of like color, or just as beautiful on its own (my personal favorite lately). 

Revlon Brow Fantasy
I've been completely obsessed with this little duo pencil and brow gel, it is awesome! I did a review on this which you can find here .

Loreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense 
This is a classic and old love of mine - look back to any post from probably two years ago and it was probably included. I ran out of my Maybelline Line Stiletto around the middle of December and decided to go back to Loreal just to switch things up. I honestly don't know why I ever gave this stuff up. So easy to work with and perfectly bold and black. 




Hope you enjoyed seeing my (very late) December 2014 beauty favorites!

Revlon Brow Fantasy - First Impression


When it comes to eyebrows it seems I can never really commit to, and end up repurchasing the same product twice. I never feel completely satisfied, and I'm always left thinking "there must be something even better out there". So when my poor Maybelline Define Brow pencil turned into an unusable nub, I knew it was time to seek out my newest drugstore brow product.

I noticed that Maybelline has released a new brow product, which mimics Benefit Gimme Brow, a tinted gel for filling and shaping your brows all in one. I initially thought that I would be giving that a try, but after further consideration I realized I really didn't like the idea of just using a gel on its own. That is when I came upon this - Revlon Brow Fantasy. I can't honestly tell you how new/old this product is, I can just say that I've never noticed it, nor have I tried it until now, so it is new to me!

I was drawn to it because of its sleek packaging, and that it includes both a pencil and gel all in one - no muss no fuss! There were only three shade options at the store I was in so I went for Dark Brown. I was slightly nervous that it may be too dark, but after using it for the first time today I can say I certainly made the right decision.

This is my first time ever using a tinted brow gel before. Until this point in time the only brow gel I've ever used is actually just the Maybelline clear mascara. I can totally say I'm a convert now though!

Lippies I'm Loving Lately


Lately I've been finding myself reaching for a bigger variety of lip products on a more regular basis - this is kind of odd for me because although I love to shop for lipsticks/glosses and all other things lip related I rarely change my look during the week. I find myself picking out one product to stick in my every day makeup bag which I store in my bathroom, and then that's pretty well what I rock the entire week, unless I'm feeling daring or there's a date night out involved.

You can see pretty clearly I've been loving my various shades of pink for the most part. As usual many of my favorites of the moment are also Revlon - I have a huge soft spot for all Revlon products, but they just really know what they're doing when it comes to lip products specifically.

Rimmel Vinyl Gloss - Keep a Secret
Revlon Laquer Balm - Demure Reservee 
Revlon Balm Stain - Sweetheart Valentine 

Mac l/s - Cream cup
Revlon Matte l/s - Pink Pout
Revlon Lip Butter - Sweet Tart
Maybelline l/s - Very Cherry


What have been some of your favorite lip products lately?

Revlon Lip Butter Love

Revlon has always been one of my top drugstore brands, especially when it comes to anything lip product related. One of the best things they've ever done is created their line of 'Lip Butters', which come in a large variety of shades and have a beautiful creamy consistency. These have been out for quite some time now, however I've never given them any attention on here, or shown them the love and praise they truly deserve.

(Creme brule, pink lemonade, cotton candy, sweet tart, juicy papaya)

I have five shades in my collection currently, all of which are all on the somewhat more natural, easy to wear end of the spectrum. 

(creme brule, pink lemonade, cotton candy, sweet tart, juicy papaya)

They are not as pigmented as a lipstick, but are buildable and slightly more long wearing than a lipgloss. That being said, they aren't a stain, so once you eat or drink you will have to do a touch up. Out of the five I have, sweet tart has the best lasting power, and does very slightly stain the lips as well. They're especially great for those who fear bold lipsticks, but want to give more vivid shades a try.

I would highly recommend these to people who have dryer lips, and find lipsticks do too much damage. They're not super moisturizing like a lip balm, but they do a pretty good job of keeping your lips hydrated while giving a lovely pop of color.

This line is amazing, and it has so many shades I think everyone could find at least one that suits their fancy. They have such an amazing variety of shades that would also compliment any and every skin tone.

Warm & Cozy Makeup Look



It's that time of year again, the weather is getting colder and everyone is beginning to bundle up. Along with the change in seasons, there is a change in what makeup I have a tendency to reach for. I have really been into deeper makeup looks, and have been using a lot more shimmery champagne shades along with deeper browns and purples. This look includes the later - deep and warm purples, which I use to make a smoldering eye. This look could easily be turned up another notch, by lining the waterline in black, doing a heavier liner and adding false lashes. 

Products Used
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Revlon Cream Shadow Quad
Coastal Scents Blush and Eyeshadow Palette
Naked 1 Palette 
Loreal Liner 
Loreal Voluminous 24 Mascara & Maybelline Cat Eye Voluminous Mascara
MAC High Tea on my lips




Hope you guys enjoyed seeing this look I've been loving lately!

Top 5 Blushes of the Moment & Swatches

These 5 blushes I have chosen are what I have not been able to keep my hands off for this Spring season, and also plan on using well into the summer months ahead. 
If you would like to see the video on these picks, including a more detailed description of why I love them so much, click here!



(Left to Right) Elf 'Peachy Keen', Hard Candy Fox in a Box 'Smooth Talker', Rimmel 'Pink Sorbet'

MAC 'Melba', MAC 'Subtle Breeze'

(Left to Right)
Elf 'Peachy Keen'
Hard Candy Fox in a Box 'Smooth Talker
Rimmel 'Pink Sorbet'
MAC 'Melba'
MAC 'Subtle Breeze'

Peachy Keen;
This blush is not only one of my favorite affordable blushes, it is one of my favorite blushes of all time, hands down. It's the perfect peachy shade, with a slight hint of golden shimmer. I believe this is one of those colors that would flatter pretty much any skin tone. How can you say no for $3 after all? The pigmentation is also very impressive (not just on this shade, but all shades I have sampled from their studio blush line). 

Smooth Talker; 
This blush is a mix of four separate shades (although you could technically attempt at using each color individually, I really don't believe it's worth the struggle). It includes a peach, a lilac-esk shade, a coral and a basic pink. When mixed together they form a light peachy color. As you can see from the swatch, it is similar to Peachy Keen, but just on the lighter side. All the shades are matte finish. For darker skin tones this could really be used as more of a highlight. I love it if I'm not looking for a ton of color, but just a nice glow, without my cheeks being frosty or shimmery.

Pink Sorbet;
I actually have an entire separate blog post on this blush, so I will try not to bore you with the details of this product again (see my entire post here). To make it short and sweet, it is a light pinky peach (more pink I would say though) which comes off with a slightly frosty finish. Again this is a lighter shade, which for my skin tone adds a lovely pinky glow. This is the blush I tend to grab when I have a darker eye look and am unsure of what blush to reach for. 

Melba;
This is a blush I also recently acquired, which is shocking because it is right up my alley, and if you have ever heard anyone speak of MAC blushes, you've probably heard Melba come up. I have a full post of this blush as well, which can be found here. It is the best natural matte peach shade - very pigmented - it can be used with a light hand to give a subtle wash of color, or can very easily be applied for a bolder statement. 

Subtle Breeze;
Unlike Melba, this is a mineralize blush, which is slightly less pigmented than the original MAC powder blush line, but still very workable - I am always happy with the color pay off, although it may not be impressive enough for some. This appears much more of a pinky mauve in the container than it actually comes out to be - turning out more of a pink than mauve (as seen in the swatches). This blush is especially great for people that are starting out in makeup and are intimidated by heavily pigmented products that require some practice to apply and blend. This color is also very wearable for all skin tones. 



What are some of your favorite blushes? Have you ever tried any of the ones I mentioned? If so, which ones? And if not, would you be interested? 

Until next time!

Nail of the Day - Revlon Blues Combo

Seeing Revlon polish on sale is a really great way to coax me into spending some of my pocket change - that's what happened today when I saw them for $3.99CAD at my local drug store. I of course ended up with quite a few (I plan on doing a nail polish haul asap), but this is just two I snatched up that I couldn't resist doing a nail look on immediately after getting home. 

(Natural lighting)
I am a huge Revlon polish fan, I personally find them to be great quality, affordable and accessible. They also have a great range of shades that a lot of other lower end brands don't. 

(Natural lighting - Blue Lagoon)
I could not resist this light blue color, it was calling my name as soon as I saw the rack. I also only have one other blue that is in this same shade range, but this one is not completely opaque - it does have very (very) fine milled shimmer to it, so fine I could not even manage to get a clear photo of it. It seems to just add a little something to the polish, and catches the light nicely. 

(Natural lighting - Radiant)
This glitter polish is also amazing - made up of a couple varying sizes of glitter with slight hints of silver and green as well. It does have a very light blue base to it so it isn't just clear polish plus shimmer. I applied it over 'Blue Lagoon' which saved me doing more than one coat, but I think this would turn out nicely on bare nails with two good coats for full coverage. I'm hoping this is also not too hard to remove.


Let me know your favorite Revlon polish - I think these might move to the top of my list!
