This year has been going by so fast, even though we're just a month into fall I feel like I've missed so much. Apart from the drop in temperature, fall is one of my favourite times of year. It's not really about the things that you can do in fall but rather a feeling.
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 MoreIf you’re like me, you spend far too much time stalking the Instagram pages for new makeup releases. I’ve seen a few upcoming holiday products that have me a bit excited. So far there is one palette that I know I will pick up, on launch day I will be ready.
Read MoreI’ve had this palette for a while and haven’t played with it nearly enough. It reads to me as a neutral palette with pops of purple and deeper burgundy tones. Which isn’t generally what you see in a neutral palette with accent colours. So the shades in themselves are a bit different to the standard selections you typically find in palettes of this nature.
Read MoreWe are fast approaching fall, so things are going to change. No more hot humid sun packed days or warm evening strolls.Like the changes to the season, I want to make some changes in my life.
Since I've started working again a lot of things that I used to keep up with have fallen to the wayside, like my health.
So Sephora is having a sale near the end of August, which is not usually a time that they have a sale, so I’m not mad at it. Though I do hope that they still have the November sale. It’s the start of Christmas season in my head, Black Friday, VIB sale they’re tied together in my mind.
This post has been long overdue, and not just because I haven't put up a post in months. I took these photos way back in January with the intent to publish the post in February. That never happened? Why you may ask, well you see the thing is I didn't know what to write so I didn't write anything.
Read MoreMy Favourite addition to my winter wardrobe this year has been my knitwear sweaters from Zara. I picked them up in three different styles just because I loved them. It was love at first feel. There are a few reasons why I really like these sweaters.
Read MoreThe other day I as I was going home, I sat on the subway surrounded by a sea of black and grey when I saw this bright robins egg blue handbag. It was such a contrast because everywhere you looked it seemed that all the colour had been leached out, so the sudden appearance of colour caught me by surprise. I loved it though, I felt that it instantly lifted my mood.
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 MoreSo after the Houglass post where I curated a palette using their Ambient Lighting Powders, I don’t really have high hopes or expectations for Tarte. I’m hoping that with their wider product range, and colour options, that the selection process will be better. The Tarte face products that I’ve used so far, I’ve really enjoyed.
Read MoreI did this last year, when I saw that some of my fave authors were going to be releasing new books in the coming year. Some of them I’m chopping at the bit to read, I can’t wait.
