and the pretty things in-between
-and the pretty things in-between-
I'm an everyday consumer, trying to navigate my way through a product rich landscape.
I was recently talking makeup with one of my co-workers, and I think I got a little too into it. As I sat there discussing my brushes, eyeshadow palettes and other miscellaneous makeup items, I thought it prudent to maybe stop before her eyes rolled back in her head.
Read MoreThe other day Colourpop had a promo where you could create your palette, using their pressed eyeshadows and pressed face products, blush, highlight and contour. I didn't pick up any of the face products but I did go in on the eyeshadows.
Read MoreWith the Sephora VIB sale starting tomorrow. I want to get my order ready. Right now I don't think that there's much I want to purchase, but I'm going to take a look through the site and my loves list and see what I'm able to grab on sale.
Read MoreI made a few purchases near the end of February and a little into March, I'll use my birthday as a valid excuse, not that I need one but mentally it kinda makes me feel better.
Honestly I wasn't crazy in love with the Coloured Raine Cheers to the Beauty palette, I do really like their shadow formula though, and always enjoy when I use my Queen of Hearts palette. So when the Cheers to the Beauty palette went on sale, I thought that it was the perfect time to pick it up. Not wanting to get dinged with customs again, I sent it to my aunts house.
Read MoreEveryday there’s a new makeup product being launch, released or revamped. So often times they just seem to run together with few things to distinguish them from the next. There have been a few products that have caught my attention though, quite a few of the new or upcoming releases from Nars have really sparked my interest
Read MoreFor the past three years, Hourglass as released a holiday palette that combines some of their best selling ambient face powders, blushes, bronzers and highlighters. And for the past three years I’ve passed on each palette because the shade selection wasn’t suitable for my deeper skin tone. I would love to purchase one, but for the price it doesn’t make sense. I’m not paying that much money for minimal product that doesn’t even show up on my skin or looks ashy and doesn’t compliment it in any way. No ma’am, not doing it.
Read MoreI have to be honest with myself, even though I’m planning to cut back on my makeup spending this year, there are a few products that I have on my radar that were they to go on sale I would snap them up without hesitation. This might read a little like a wish list post, except I will probably end up owning all of these items by the end of the year.
Read MoreIf 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 MoreThese bad boys were the unplanned, unexpected beauty purchases that I made this year. Some were on my radar while others just popped up, either way for some reason or another the implausible and unthinkable happened. I’m making this sound so dramatic but it’s just makeup that I wasn’t expecting would be part of my makeup collection by the end of the year.
Read MoreLast night I had a dream about this post, I had no intentions of doing another New Year’s themed post, but I woke up and it was on my mind. So as soon as the lighting was right I set up my photo area to take these photos of palettes that I think would pair well for a New Year’s Eve look.
Read MoreSo after my post on setting parameters for my makeup spending, I decided to look into some companies that I was interested in and see if they had any of the colours that I was interested in. That way if they do have a sale I know exactly what I want and I won’t be overwhelmed or give in to the desire to buy more things or all the things.
Read MoreDue to the oily nature of my eyelids I always use an eyeshadow primer, and by primer I don’t mean concealer, cause that doesn’t cut it. Sometimes though my primer might need a little help bringing out the best that a shadow as to offer. So I’ve made a small list of 5 products that I use to bring out vibrancy in my shadows.
