-and the pretty things in-between-
I'm an everyday consumer, trying to navigate my way through a product rich landscape.
If you’ve seen my favourites blog posts over the pas year then the majority if not all of these products will be quite familiar. The newest addition to the family the Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette quickly became a favourite and it’s a palette that I use daily in my makeup routine. I’ve written a review post about it, cataloging my love for it.
Read MoreThis month’s new makeup post is going to seem pretty packed. Contrary to what it may look like I didn’t actual buy all of this in one month, in fact most of it was bought almost a year ago. I might have mentioned before that sometimes when I order stuff from America I ship it to my aunts house because A, the company might not ship to Canada and B, the shipping charges are ridiculous and I have no desire to pay that amount.
Read MoreOkay so I wasn’t planning on doing a wish list just because I didn’t want to be all about the consumerism. That however did not stop my interest in purchasing certain products. Reading about other peoples wish lists in r/muacjdiscussion didn’t help either.
Read MoreSometimes there are just some colours that you are consistently drawn to. I found that if something is a peachy coral shade, I will find it and want it. It’s simply a colour that I love. My best friend also knows this and will point out items when we are in a store together, across the board I own something in that shade range whether it be clothes, shoes or makeup
Read MoreSo while it may not be official yet, fall is up on us. You can feel it already, the mornings are cooler the sun is setting earlier. The pumpkins and other autumn themed decor is out. Ready or not fall is here.
Read Mores fall quickly approaches I thought I would share with you my simplified makeup routine. That is the basic or foundation makeup that I’ve been wearing this past summer. On most days when I head out it’s to run errands or take my daily walk so nothing that needs a full face of makeup. Though technically I am wearing a full face, it just doesn’t look that way.
Read MoreIf you’ve read any of my previous skin care posts, you might have noticed that I tend to use a good amount of products in my routine. I generally apply a multi-step process to my skin care routine. This summer though I’ve paired it down dramatically. This isn’t because I found a multi-step process to be too much or because my skin was reacting to any of the products, it was just laziness plain and simple. I didn’t feel like applying multiple serums and toners, so I didn’t.
Read MoreWhen I was working to assemble my on the go makeup bag, I had some struggles. Because I’m a more is more kind of girl I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn’t meant to be an ultimate resource bag but more of a quick fix, easy makeup look bag.
Read MoreNew makeup trends seem to pop up every other week, weather it’s the Instagram feather brow or using a fidget spinner to apply your contour. I picked out a few of my favourite trends, ones that I would wear or employ in my makeup application.
Read MoreMakeup is a rabbit hole that when you fall into it is difficult to escape. There are so many colours and so many different products that making sound buying choices can be difficult.
Read MoreSince the weather has gotten warmer, I’ve made it my goal to make sure that I leave my house as often as I can. This also allows me to wear more makeup which is never a bad thing to me. I’ve got quite a few things on this month’s favourite list (never fear I still love and use my work horse faves) Most of these products I’ve been using for at least month some even more than that.
Read MoreLately there have been a slew of new palettes being launched by brands. KDV, Lorac, and many more. For some reason I’m not interested in the palettes, I feel like the colours and selection are just meh. Now I know it’s real easy to be a critic and say I wonder what they were thinking when they chose those colours, or who did they would like that shade?
