No weigh ins?

I haven't done any weigh ins in awhile because honestly I've been stressed and I haven't been exercising enough so my weight has been unforgiving. I think instead of weekly weigh ins I'll way in once I hit certain goals. My current goal is 140lbs.

Once I hit this weight I'll do a blog stating so and I'll tell you how I did it and what motivated me. I think this will be less stressful on myself and more helpful to all of you.


My new and current weight loss strategy.


Try to exercise everyday even if its only for a few minutes. I hate eating in the morning but I'm going to try to eat something light within the first hour of getting up to increase my metabolism.

Well I hope you all are having better luck then I am :)

stila magnificent metals part 2

I decided to pick up the shade kitten because I thought it was just tan enough and would be very wearable. Comex gold was too orange however I might eventually pick it up if I think I can pull it off. Comex copper was very brown and nothing special. Dusty rose is beautiful but way to silver on me. The rest of the shades are silvery or colourful and I'm not a huge fan of silver and colours are gorgeous but I like to be realistic and splurge on products that I know I'll get a lot if use out of however the greens did bath my eye.


I have attached pictures of some swatches, comes gold, comex copper, kitten and dusty rose. Unfortunately most of dusty rose was wiped away before I took pictures but its a silver pink.

Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow

When I saw these online I thought to myself I bet this is going to be a chunky glitter mess however I've been looking for some nice metallic shadows maybe these will be it. I guess if they get good reviews I can pick up a few but then I saw the price. $42 Canadian that's $48 with tax. I thought to myself I guess I'll pass.

After a few days I noticed they were getting good reviews so I figured what the hell I'll pick up one. When I went to sephora I swatched kitten, metallic dusty rose and vintage black gold. The first two seemed more chunky and appeared silvery on my light tan skin. Silver doesn't look good on me so I went with vintage black gold which resembles MAC's antique gold. I was unsure if I wanted this colour because I recently ordered makeup geeks pigment in utopia. I have a feeling the color will be the same but I doubt it will be as bold.

Today I tested it on my hand first with a primer from Urban Decay then with the Stila primer. I preferred it with the Stila primer. I did my makeup and I applied the Stila primer to my lid first then dabbed on the shadow. This made it much more intense then my hand swatches. I still had glitter left on my finger so I dabbed it onto my crease over a dark brown shadow.

Overall I found the product versatile, didn't experience fallout yet and it's easy to use so for now I'll rate it a 9/10. I need to see how it wears.

Weigh in will be on Wednesday probably! Talk about Urban Decay

In all honesty the only palette I really get excited for during the holidays is the Urban Decay block buster palette. They use to be the book of shadows but the new theme seems to be the vice palettes. Urban decay has launched their holiday line and what caught my eye was the Vice 2 palette. This palette seems very wearable yet bold and full of colours that will work for the fall and winter. I'm hoping to get my prissy little hands on it. I am still loving all of the moondust. They will probably be my favourite shadows forever and ever unless they launch new shades then I will love those just as much.


If you haven't tried urban decay shadows I highly recommended you check them out. The formula is buttery and high in pigmentation and they blend effortlessly Urban Decay just makes the best shadows. I also love their lipstick pencils, eye liners, primer and lipstick. The setting spray in oil slick is fantastic and they just make lovely products.

Anyways I hope you all are doing great!

Btw me and my daughter wish we were at fall fashion week! How fun would that be?

Sonia Kashuk Eye on Shimmer

I have not worn this on my eyes yet so this review will be on swatches however I will have up a YouTube video next week reviewing on how it wears so stay tune for that.

I really adore this palette because EVERY shadow is buttery and pigmented. They all swatches beautifully. I would say it is prone to fallout because the shadows are so soft so if you do purchase this palette make sure you tap off your brush to get rid of potential fallout.


So far I would rate this palette a 8/10 because I love how shimmery the shadows are, the packaging is very sleek however I am a bit worried about the fallout and the shadows breaking if I use this palette to travel with.

Weigh in update

I am still 140lbs!

I did exercise however I wasn't eating that great. I had icecream twice and McDonald's fries. It was a off week but this week is a lot more successful so far and my motivation is to fit back into my black skinny jeans by sometime next month! :)
