BEST OF SKIN, HAIR & NAILS TAG 2013


Makeup Remover- Ponds cold cream is great but I've started to really like Purity by philosophy as a 2 in one makeup remover and cleanser.

Facial cleanser- Purity :) It really cleans off everything!

Face Scrub- Vichy Normaderm scrub, it makes your skin so soft and it really helps with acne.

Moisturizer- Clinique acne solutions moisturizer is my new favorite this year, its gentle but treats acne, it absorbs better then any other moisturizer and it just feels lightweight.

Face Treatment- Tarte Maracuja oil, my skin looks so much healthier since I started mixing it with my anti acne serum at night. This is a new HG product for my face.

Mask- Clinique acne solutions mask, ugh this mask is so damn good its been my favorite for 4-5 years! It treats acne without drying out your skin and it rids skin of excess oil.

Eye Cream- I don't have a HG eyecream but Orgins Gin Zing eye cream is decent. I like the brightening effect it has because of the salmon shimmer tone it has.

Lip Moisturizer- Nivea lip butter in vanilla macadamia. Its moisturizing and it smells so so so yummy!


Body wash- Philosophy Aloha girl, I'm almost out! :( I really hope they re-release it this year its the best thing I have ever smelled.

Body scrub- Soap & Glory exfoliater (original scent). It has a classy pretty scent but it exfoliates like no other scrub! My skin feels amazing after and it prevent razor burn.

Body lotion- This is a tough one, I do love Josie Marans Argan body butter in Vanilla Apricot however I find it can be overwhelmingly sweet so for that reason my favorite is the bath and body works body butters. My favorite scent is probably the strawberry scent because its a fresh subtle sweet scent. The body butters keep my skin hydrated for about 15-20 hours.

Self Tanner- St Tropez Dark Mousse, If I want a bronze sexy tan that will last 4-5 days then this is my go to tanner, I use the mitt for a even tan.

Perfume- Viva La Juicy, it just smells so good I don't think I will ever get bored of it...

Best Hair products- I have been loving the One n Only Argan line available at Sally's, they moisturize my hair so well and they smell amazing!

Best Nail Products- I really liked the Revlon by Marchesa nail stickers they are gorgeous. (Review is up)

Tarte Maracuja Oil Review (holy grail)



  Black Friday 2013, Tarte came out with a set that had a mini setting powder, mascara and a oil I never heard of. I thought hmmm that could be interesting and ya you know what I'll get it mainly for the setting powder. Once my package arrived I didn't even bother with the oil or anything else, it wasn't until a day or so after I thought hmmm I'm bored lets see what this new oil is all about. I was hesitant because The Josie Maran Argan oil always feels greasy on my face and I'm pretty sure it breaks me out which is common because of a component in it.

 After reading dozens reviews of people raving about it I decided to give it a go and after the first use I thought hmm I don't know I have a lot of breakouts already what if I get more and this stuff feels pretty thick but after 2 weeks of using it I really LOVE it. Why?

My acne is a lot better
My skin feels a lot softer
My skin looks healthier
And the best part is that a little goes a long way (I use two drops because I use it with MB anti-acne serum, I use a pea size of that. If I was to use only the oil I would use 4-5 drops)

 I recommend this product as a night time moisturizer, I believe this product is perfect for anyone that wants a natural moisturizer and wants their skin radiant and soft.

 My boyfriend has pretty dry skin and I used the Argan oil on him and that worked really well for him because it is heavier and he didn't break out. If the argan oil works for you then I wouldn't suggest running out and getting this one but you might like the light weight feel of this one :)

 Anyways I hope you enjoyed this review!

All About Eyes Tag

Questions:

1. What eye cream/serum do you use?
  I'm actually using 3 but the main one I use is Origins Ginzing, I think its hydrating and I love that it has a brightening effect. I probably wouldn't repurchase because I think there are probably more hydrating eye creams out there.

2. What is your favorite under eye concealer?
 Honestly I don't have one, I always find that they make my eyes look dry, cakey and my fine lines become pronounced when you can usually only see them if I tilt my head back and look down.

3. What is your favorite eye brow product?
  I like the Kat Von D leather eyeshadow, as of recently I've been liking the Anastasia clear brow gel.

4. What is your fav eye shadow primer?
  The original primer by Urban Decay.

5. Your fav shadow palette
 Ugh that is so difficult,I guess if I could only choose one it would probably be the Vice 2 palette because it has such a great variety of shadows.

6. Your fav eye makeup remover
 Pond cold cream, it works well and its moisturizing.




7.Your fav mascara
 For a daily basis without mixing mascaras I would say Make Up Forever smokey lash. It's fanatic I haven't used it in a year and a half though due to my love of testing new mascaras.

8. Your fav eye liner (gel, kohl,felt tip)
 Urban Decay pencil in perversion. I love that its creamy and easy to apply.

9. Your fav single eye shadow
I think that would have to be Zodiac moondust by urban decay. The color looks great with my appearance and it applies beautifully.

My review on Urban Decay Naked 3

     For swatches check out my previous post, I may do a video review however I am not sure.


 First of all I'm just going to put it out there that I think Urban Decay slacked off a bit with this palette. I ADORE Urban Decay Im actually kind of obsessed with the brand. I love that a lot of their products are vegan, they're cruelty free, bold, creative and enticing not to mention they come out with great packaging however I feel like this palette was rushed for the Holidays.


 4 of the shadows just aren't great quality and to me thats a big deal, it's usually a deal breaker if a palette has 2 poor quality shadows.

Strange is chalky
Dust is chalky with large glitter (the moondust formula is killer they should of used it...) 
Buzz is very prone to fallout
Trick lacks so much pigmentation :(

The shadows are beautiful but the formula is terrible

 Now the rest of the shadows are stunners & buttery however they aren't all so unique. I would say the two standouts are darkside and blackheart. Darkside looks dull and grey but it has a beautiful rose brown tone when applied to skin.


With all of that information I decided to rate this palette with an overall score of 7/10.

 It's average, it's not a must have. The shadows are universal and beautiful however I sure am glad I was able to use my VIB ROUGE discount.

 Anyways I hope you found this review helpful, so many people are really over hyping this palette I've only see one youtuber do a honest review stating that the left side was meh.

If you have any questions just ask away and I will get back to you!

My backup drawer


So I have a drawer dedicated to backups they aren't necessarily the exact same product but they're extras from that category. In the drawer I have extra lotions and hair care stuff then I have a rose gold box with my extra makeup and skin care like my argan oil.


So here's a peak at the box :)

The perfect palette tag



Saw this going around YouTube so I thought I would do it :)

1. Best Packaging
I really love the Vice 2 palette's packaging. I like that it seals shut, it's the type of plastic that doesn't get dirty and is easy to clean. I also like that its large so it can hold lots of shadows and its also very pretty.


2. Best Color Payoff
Oooh this is a tough one. I would have to say the Lorac Pro Palette. It's so pigmented you barely have to touch the shadows.


3. Most Versatile
I would have to say my Sedona Lace 168 shadow second edition palette lol It just has sooo many different shadows you can create thousands of different looks. It's a lot of fun to play with.



4. Best for Traveling
I find when I travel I tend to bring my Naked 3 palette probably because its do sturdy however one shadow has almost popped out from my son dropping it. I also tend to bring Urban Decay Book of shadows also because its very sturdy however it is bulky as hell.

5. Biggest Regret
Too faced Smurf palette. It's chunky glitter fallout grainy hell. Too out of four shadows are ok but I already own those shadows' I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased it.

6. Best Color Names
I love the names of Too Faced Shadows. They're always cute and fun.

7. Least Used
I would have to say my smurf palette and the second book of shadows by UD.

8. Most Used
Honestly I don't have one. I'm always switching up my makeup.


9 Most Loved
Ugh super difficult question. I will say I really loved the Original Naked palette in summer when I had a tan. Now that I'm more pale I've been using my Vice 2 palette a lot. I have a feeling once Naked 3 arrives I will be obsessed with it for a few months. I'm still loving my Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood palette :)

Feel free to do this tag :) leave a comment bellow if you want <3








PALETTES MENTIONED ♥ :

What is your signature scent?

 I have never talked about fragrance and honestly it was because my scent has changed drastically. It's as if my two pregnancies has changed the way I smell things. I tend to like fruity scents now. I use to love very sweet scents but not as much now. So I decided to share some scents that I have adored and adore to this very day!






 1 The scent that made me think hmm you know I think I want to start wearing perfume.. I believe I first received this when I was a early teen, I told my mom I really liked it and it was very affordable so she bought it for me.I believe it was around $30. I still own this perfume and what I love about it is that it has a beautiful amber scent mixed with fruity goodness and its a tad bit floral. My boyfriend even remembers I use to wear this when we first started dating so it brings back good memories :) This scent I would say is very sexy and is nice if you go on a date and is perfect for the holidays.





2 I was reading through a magazine when I was in my mid-teens and I saw a add showcasing a perfume by David Beckham so I was intrigued and gave it a whiff and thought that is such a beautiful perfume, it's simple, feminine and is a perfume you can wear anytime year around. I asked for it for Christmas and Santa left it for me :) It's described as having notes of white flowers, rose petals, sandalwood, orange blossom and more. This does not come off as a floraly scent...


  Cashmere Mist  Donna Karan for women
white flowers, bergamot, rose petals, Casablanca lily, tuberose, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. - See more at: http://www.shopsmelbourne.com.au/intimately-beckham-perfume-by-david-beckham-for-women/#sthash.UtUpiOJN.dpuf
white flowers, bergamot, rose petals, Casablanca lily, tuberose, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. - See more at: http://www.shopsmelbourne.com.au/intimately-beckham-perfume-by-david-beckham-for-women/#sthash.UtUpiOJN.dpuf

3 Now this fragrance I never did buy due to the fact that it is a scent that you can get sick off because its a bit baby powder smelling. I discovered this scent when I worked as a Cosmetician and I thought it smelled like heaven I would always spray it on and it made me feel so girly and classy and just cozy! This perfume has notes of musk, woods, powder, amber, vanilla and leather.






4 Now I'm sure you all know this scent! If you don't own it I guarantee someone you know does ;) This scent screams young, flirty and sultry. It's my all time favorite. I fell in love with it after I had my son. I bought the roll on version and used it up. I finally bought the small bottle last year and I feel like I don't wear it much because I've used so little but its so potent you only really need one squirt. Some of the notes are Mandarin and Wild Berries mid notes are Honeysuckle, Jasmine & Gardenia; finish of Amber, Carmel Woods, Vanilla, Sandalwood & Praline. I highly recommend this fragrance :)





Item image

5 The next perfume is rather special to me, it came out in 1999 and my dad bought it for my mother. She actually had the original Organza perfume but it came in a set that included mini Givenchy perfumes as well. She ended up giving me 4 unfortunately I wasn't old enough to appreciate them so I spilled most of the contents of 3 out of 4 bottles :( Luckily I didn't spill a drop of Indecence and thank god because it is the most beautiful perfume! If angels had a scent I imagine it would be something like this. What is crazy is my little .17 bottle now goes for $45-60 and the large bottle goes for $200-300! Crazy right? I feel bad about sharing this with you but it really is amazing. The notes are warm spicy, cinnamon, amber, patchouli, vanilla and balsamic.







 6 Lastly is Miss Dior Cherie, I know the formula was changed and I believe I have the original one it is very very very sweet and is perfect for those days that I want to smell uber girly. Its another one of the scents thats very potent. I have the .17 size from a Sephora point trade in.




What are your favorite scents and how have they changed throughout the years?

Glamglow Youth mud Review



My face is burning.


That basically sums up my experience! All the way from the start and even after I have washed it off I still feel a heat.

When I tried the super mud by glamglow I never felt burning and my skin looked nice after. This mask left my face feeling VERY irritated and it looked irritated, my blemishes even looked more red. Not pretty at all.

My expectations are that my skin looks better tomorrow. Not by much because that's not realistic but if its worse then this product will be getting a big fat 0 out of 10. You know the whole "purging" thing? That's a myth. If you want to know more then I recommend talking to a dermatologist because I studied minimal skin care.

For now I will rate this product a 3/10 because my skin feels tighter and smooth.

If my skin looks better or worse then i'll update tomorrow :)

Black Friday Haulage & Naked 3!


As soon as it hit 12am on Black Friday I picked out the items I wanted and I bought them from Sephora online.

If you are wondering what I got then I'll tell you but I'm not taking pictures because I'm pretty sure everyone knows what was available.

1 purity cleanser
2 buxom lipstick with mascara
3 tarte set
4 makeup forever eyeshadow pencils. I bought the beige and taupe set however its more brown then taupe lol Still lovely though :)

I did get the 12 sample makeup bag which is amazing. The samples I'm most excited to try are the glamglow youth mud mask, hairdressers oil and a Gucci fragrance sample.

On a negative note I recently tried the smashbox primer and it really broke me out :(

On a positive note I just ordered Naked 3!

Expect a review on that around next weekend. I should have it by Friday.

I will have up a review on something soon I just don't know what yet but I try to review things I really love & I think my readers will too :)

Revlon Parfumerie Nail Polish Review



I'm part of the Revlon selects program if you are unaware of the program it's through Facebook and they occasionally send you new products to test out and review.

I was recently sent a new perfume nail polish. To be honest I was very disappointed. The colour I received was patent leather. You might think oh a shiny beautiful black or caramel but nope it was a muggy swamp green with the slightest gold reflex that is barely noticeable. Not to mention the scent is like cheap perfume mixed with nail polish. As you can probably tell this has got to be my least favourite Revlon product. I adored the Marchesa nail enamels so this was a huge disappointment.

Now personal opinion aside the polish quality is pretty good. It was opaque with one coat however I noticed chipping on one nail the following day. On a side note I really don't see the scent being appealing to ANYONE with a nose. Whoever approved the scent should be fired.

Overall I rate this polish a 6/10. Keep in mind I'm rating it based of how it applied, lasted and the scent.

Well I hope this review was helpful. I love Revlon but this product was a major miss!

November Favourites 2013



My first favourite product is a cashmere scarf I ordered off of Zulily. It's super soft, stylish and warm. I love the houndstooth pattern and it looks great with my black jackets.

My next favourite is the holiday ornament nail polish from formula x. I wear it on its own with two coats and my nails look like they've been covered in gold it's so stunning.


I have also been loving Josie Marans Vanilla Apricot body butter. It smells amazing and is by far the most moisturizing lotion. The next day my skin still feels very moisturized.

My next favourite is a very recent purchase however I adore them. They are dark leopard gloves with a faux fur trim. They look great and they keep my hands warm in the cold weather.

I of course had to add my favourite candle and that has been hot buttered rum by bath and body works. It smells good enough to eat!

The next product is what inspired me to purchase the Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood Eye palette. It's the 500 pt perk palette at Sephora by Bobbi Brown. I love this palette because it comes with four neutral shadows that look great together and you get a gorgeous bright pink blush that is universally flattering.

The last product is Stila's Magnificent Metal in Comex Gold. I bought this during the Sephora friends and family sale and so really like it. I wasn't sure if it would flatter my skin tone but it actually looks good when I apply it to my eyelid and smoke out the crease.
















Sephora VIB Rouge Lipstick by Bite



I've been enjoying blogging lately so I'm going to try and keep it up :)

Today I'm reviewing the VIB Rouge Bite lipstick. Once you spend $1000 at Sephora in a calendar year you earn VIB ROUGE status. One perk of earning this status is you get a special red lipstick from Bite cosmetics.


This lipstick is opaque, creamy and it leaves a stain. I found it very long wearing and a tad bit drying. The one thing I strongly dislike is the cheap lipstick smell.

Overall I would rate this a 7/10. The scent and drying properties is what took away from the lipstick.

To all Americans Happy Thanksgiving, I'm Canadian and celebrated Thanksgiving early October and it was lovely. I am very excited about Black Friday and I will probably post up a beauty haul ;)

Sweater Weather Tag

1. Favorite candle scent?
Bath and body works came out with a sticky toffee puffing candle a few years ago and I would say that was my favourite. My favourite current candle they have out for the fall is marshmallow fireside however I don't have it but I have been liking hot buttered rum.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
I hate tea. I love coffee but it makes me feel sick 90% of the time. I like hot chocolate occasionally.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?
I would have to say this year would be the best fall because I have both of my babies. Taking my son trick or treating is probably going to be very memorable because Devon & I decided to take him out despite the rain. We bundled him up and our daughter. She stayed in the stroller with blankets and slept during most of it. He had a blast and understood knocking on doors saying "treat treat" means candy lol

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? Both :)

5. Best fragrance for fall? I love David Beckham's women's fragrance.

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food? Ham with maple syrup.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live? It can be warm but its usually cool.

8. Most worn sweater? I have a yellow wildfox dupe from forever 21 that I've worn a lot the past couple of years. I have a YouTube video featuring it.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall? I would say any of the new formula X polishes. I really love the blood red one I can't recall it's name.

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles? Neither lol

11. Skinny jeans or leggings? Leggings

12. Combat boots or Uggs? I like both a lot actually. Thrown out both of mine last year though because they were beat up.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype? I've tried the Tassimo version of it and I really liked it.

14. Favorite fall TV show? The originals, extreme cheapskates and lost girl. Vampire diaries is good too!

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit? Not really into music at the moment.


Feel free to leave a response in the comments :)

Scale VS Clothing size



I don't know why but my weight on a scale horrifies me and my clothing size doesn't scare me that much.


Today was the first time in months that I tried on a pair of actual pants. To be fair they're stretchy. I probably won't dare try on jeans until next fall to be honest.

I had no idea what size to grab. I walked past the size twos and fours and I found myself in front of the 6's. I found a cute pair by Nine West. They were black and simple. They felt like they would keep me warm and the cut looked flattering. I sized the pants up to me and thought hmm this probably won't fit but I guess it's worth a shot.


When I entered the dressing room I looked in the mirror and thought ugh I will be lucky if these even go up my thunder thighs but you know what they did! Not to mention they also zipped up and felt great so you know what? I bought them.


I can't believe I was silly enough to let a number on a scale weigh me down. I went into that store so scared to try on clothes but when you find a great fit you feel great despite the size. I use to be a size 1 before kids and I don't expect to ever be that skinny. I would like to lower my bmi and get down to a 4 but I'm not going to starve myself over it.



Remember extra weight is a first world problem. We're lucky enough to have extra fat when there are those that have close to none and not by choice.

Stay positive because happiness is beautiful! :)

Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood Eye Palette Review



For swatches check out my last post about this palette. This post is a review on how the shadows wore and pictures of the palette :)

The matte shadows were lovely they blended easily and the coverage was build-able. Bobbi Brown designed the shadows to not be overly pigmented so it makes them easy to work with and more old Hollywood looking.

The glitter shadows surprisingly didn't have any fall out. I used a synthetic brush and tapped out excess product. They looked lovely however they are on the sheer side as they are designed for layering. I wore them alone and layered and personally I thought they looked stunning.

The shimmer shadow was creamy, pigmented and a joy to work with however the metallic shadow did have fallout and applied unevenly. For a easy fix I will use MAC's fix+ next time (I used UD original primer).


Overall I love this palette. The shadows wore great with a primer and I like the diversity to the palette. I think this palette is for you if you like glitter and neutrals. If you don't then I would stay away ;)

Glamglow Review part 2



After 20 minutes of having the mask on my face felt very taut and it was a horrible site with what looked like a million dark dots amercing from a grey face.

Once I washed it off with a wash cloth my skin felt very "clean" it did appear more even thus glowy and my acne seemed less red and swollen.


I then put on my Mario Badescu anti acne serum and went to bed. When I woke up I noticed my skin was extremely oily which is unusual. It was like my skin felt so deprived of moisture from the mask that it over produced oil during the night.

I feel very conflicted over this product. I don't love it but I don't hate it.

Would I purchase the jar? I really don't know.
Do I think it's worth picking up a sample and testing it out yourself? Absolutely. I believe it's a product you'll love or hate or you'll be like me stuck in the middle and you'll eventually decide.


I hope you found this review helpful :)

Glam Glow Mask Review Part 1


So I just applied the mask and my face feels super tight. It looks disgusting and I am hoping for a miracle lol

I'll let you know tomorrow if I noticed a difference :)

Bobbi Brown Old Hollywood Eye Palette



I will have up a full review once I've worn it out however I have some swatches for now :)

My initials thoughts are that the shadows are silky to the touch and build-able. I was hesitant on purchasing this palette because of the high cost but when I saw it in person I couldn't resist.


I forgot to take pictures of the palette so I'll include that in my full review. It should be up by the weekend. :)

Revlon by Marchesa



Hey loves so I am absolutely horrible and haven't made a YouTube video in forever because I have been sick however I have a review on the new Revlon designer nail art by Marchesa.


I decided to use two stickers as accent nails. I used Gilded Mosaic. First of all these "decals" are absolutely stunning. They are inspired by Beautiful Marchesa dresses that I could only dream of wearing. So if your like me and can't afford those stunners then these decals are a great alternative.

Now as stunning as the decals are they will only last 3 days and they will have noticeable wear by the second. Personally I would only use them for special occasions because they don't last long. However I am sure there are bases and top coats that could prolong the wear.


My overall rating is 10/10 for looks
6/10 for how they wear, it is a tough score but the Sally Hansen polish strips last a week on my nails with noticeable wear after 4/5 days and to me that is reasonable expectations. I would love to see Revlon switch to a dried polish formula. I've never had success with nail stickers, as gorgeous as they are they just don't work as well.


I hope you found this review helpful. It was my honest opinion. Personally I would purchase this product because I think they are gorgeous however I wouldn't buy all of them.


Disclaimer. Revlon did send me two sets to review. I was not paid and I provided my honest opinion :)

Wet n Wild In the Spotlight Collection



I love drugstore makeup however I don't talk about the products I like often. I was waiting for my Revlon nails strips to arrive to do a post on them however I came across the new Wet n Wild In the Spotlight Collection so I decided to pick up a palette and share it with you guys for now. I purchased the "No neutral ground" palette. I liked this palette because its warm toned, neutral thus great for travel and the shadows are buttery soft. The pigmentation is fantastic as long as you use a primer. I have not worn them out and blended them together so my initial review is 8/10. The colours are great for the fall and winter however there's only one true matte shade and there's not a basic matte highlight shade.







My lash routine picture

This connects to my lash post. Sorry for the crap picture but I'm pretty sick but hopefully this gives you an idea.

Too Faced Better Then False Lashes Mascara & October Favourites

I have been horrible with updating on YouTube and my blog. I've been using some fantastic products but my memory chip for my camera needs to be cleared up and I guess I've just been lazy with my blog.

Anyways I want to talk about a product that I completely hated but now I absolutely adore it. The product I'm talking about is Too faced's Better then False Lashes mascara. Now I hated this product because it gave me the most luscious long lashes but then my top lashes would stick to my bottom lashes! Ugh it was a nightmare and it would loose some length however it still looked better then most mascaras.

I did some research and found out that the mascara is quite sticky (you get a mascara and fibres, the directions tell you to use the mascara, fibres then the mascara to cover them and give you a completed look). I decided to use the mascara, fibres then I used the Too faced better then Sex mascara. It look good but not as good so I layered on a LancĂ´me volumizing mascara and bam my lashes looked long and thick almost like false lashes. I was amazed. I will post a picture this week so you can see. I will not be making a video because I would never purchase $100 worth of mascara for this look however if you have the same problem I did then I suggest you play with some other mascaras for a finishing top coat.

I will have up a YouTube video this week however I have no idea on what I've been loving soooo many products.


My October favourites-

- Josie Maran Infinity creamy oil
- Vice 2
- My lash routine
- Cashmere scarfs
- Origins eye cream (Ginzing)
- Nivea Lip Butter
- Nars lipstick Dolce Vita
- Formula x nail polish from Sephora (Dare Me)
- Josie Maran body butter (vanilla apricot)
Lastly I've been loving all of the one n' only argan products my top picks are the conditioning mask, treatment spray a d the oil.


I hope everyone had a fun Halloween & I highly suggest you check out my favourites the next time you go shopping.


I will be viewing Revlon's new designer nail art by Marchesa and I'm super excited so you can expect to see that post in the next couple of weeks :) <3

Joise Maran Review



Ok so I don't know where to start. I recently picked up the Joise Maran holiday skin care set and it is absolutely fabulous. I don't know what my favourite product is the are all fantastic. I've been really enjoying all of the products. The most interesting product is the cleansing oil. When applied its so soft and silky, it removes my makeup so well and my skin feels lovely after.

I also purchased the glam set as well as the mascara set, they're both holiday specials sold at Sephora and fantastic deals. The most surprising favourite was another Joise Maran product, that beauty item was the cheek gelee in pink escape. It looks red more then pink however it is gorgeous on. I never use to wear blush but its changed my mind.

Anyways I hope this review helped :)

Vice 2



So I ordered quite a few things but the one thing I'm most excited about is Urban Decays vice 2 palette.

At first I thought the palette looked dull when I saw it online but I heard positive reviews so I decided to order it and let me just say the eyeshadows are so detailed with shimmer cameras really can't capture the true beauty of the eyeshadows so I highly recommend checking out this palette in person if you really want to see what the shadows look like.


I did take some swatches and my iPhone 5 doesn't do the shadows justice but its an example. I would give this palette a 95/100 because there's two sparkly black shadows which I think is unnecessary.
