Too Faced Melted

Review coming soon!

I recently had a wisdom tooth pulled and my lip got busted up so I'm going to wait until later this week to do a review. I'll probably do a post soon of my April favourites :)

Hypergloss eye shimmer VS PRO

Now I have had this product for months and I loved it so much I used it very frequently however I kind of forgot about it until now.

This product is truly something special and worth checking out. It's a golden cream with lots of sparkle. It has no fall out and when worn with a primer I never had issues with creasing. A very little goes a long way and it applies beautifully.

My overall rating is a 10/10. I really can't think of anything wrong with this product. If you love some sparkle on your lids then this product is worth checking out :)

Spring Essentials

I decided to share some of my top picks for spring. Keep in mind I live in Ontario Canada, we get all four seasons however springs weather varies. It can be bright, hot and sunny, rainy and muggy as well as cool and gloomy.

My first essential is a pack of bobby pins. When its muggy out the last thing I want to is to have my hair all over the place.

My second essential is a body oil. On warm or muggy days I don't want to have on a thick lotion so I prefer I light weight oil. I like l'occitane almond oil however it is quite pricy.

My third essential is a bright and moisturizing lipstick. I love bright colours for spring but I want my lips to be soft and well kept. My favourite product for this is YSL's volupte shines. I will be pairing my new lancome 385 gloss in love with this.

My fourth essential is a light weight scarf. Scarfs are great because they add style to an outfit that may otherwise be quite simple. They also provide a bit of warmth for the cooler days.

My last essential are cream eyeshades. I find they hold up a bit better in rainy weather if you are using a well formulated one. My favourites are Dior mono fusions and urban decay cream shadows. I have went swimming with urban decays cream shadow on and it looked perfect after I got out of that water.

Hope you found this post helpful I will have up pictures later of some of the products mentioned :)

Lancome Gloss in Love

Today I picked up a couple of the new Lancôme Gloss in Love. So far I like them but is it love? I'm not sure yet so let me break them down for you.


Pros
- gorgeous high tech packaging ( press a button and the applicator pops up so you don't need to twist it open or closed!)
- applicator brush is soft and applies gloss evenly.
- gloss is a creamy soft consistency.
- good array of colours to choose from.
- moisturizing.

Cons
- price is kind of steep. You are defiantly paying for the packaging.
- I would describe these as semi sheer they are not as opaque as they appear.
- slight scent that smells a tad bit cheap.
- they wear nicely but fade quickly.

Overall rating is a 8/10, I do love these glosses but for almost $30 I expect more coverage and no scent or a pleasant scent. I think these are worth checking out however you really only need a couple because they are quite sheer and you won't notice a huge difference between the nudes vs nudes, same goes with the bolder colours.

Happy shopping.

Best hand cream

Josie Marans whipped Argan oil intensive hand cream is HG status. It not only smells fresh, sweet and delicious but it's very moisturizing and absorbs quickly leaving hands feeling soft and renewed. I have the mini but when it's used up I will be purchasing the full size. :)

Overall rating of a 10/10.
Would love to see more scents in the future!

Sparkly Smokey eye

To get this looked I applied Urban decays lace on my crease. I then applied Urban decays desperation on my crease closer to my lids and I blended them together then I dabbed Dior's etoile on my lids and layered Urban decays moonspoon over it. The last steps I did was apply Urban Decays gunmetal shadow under my bottom lashes and I lined my eyes with Stila's stay all say intense black liner. For mascara I uses Clinique's black high impact mascara and added on Sephora's outrageous volume mascara.

Sorry it took so long for me to update. Hope you enjoyed this look :)

My skincare routine

This is what I now use on a regular basis and my skin instantly looked better then ever by doing this routine for just a week! My skin is glowy, pores aren't clogged and my acne is almost completely gone. The few spots I have less are barely visible.

My skin started off with a fair amount of acne caused by silica and other types of silicone. My skin would get congested after just 3-4 days. I'm sharing my morning routine and in another post I will share my night time routine.

In 2 other posts I have mentioned the BHA 9 by Paula's choice that I use when needed (about twice a week) and I use the foam once a week at night however I will be putting that off for testing on a 10% aha by Paula's choice and that post will be up in a week or two.

ROUTINE (Morning)

Sometimes I wash my face in the morning using the purity cleanser however I tend to be lazy and just use Cliniques acne solutions toner on some Kleenex to wipe down my face. It does contain a lot of alcohol so I won't be using it once its done but for now it works.

I then follow with Paula's choice skin balancing pore-reducing toner. I pour some in a container and then apply it with my fingers. This helps hydrate my skin.

If I have any acne I use the Paula's choice clear 2.5% benzoyl peroxide treatment.

I then let that sit so I skip over to my eye cream. I don't have a favourite but today I used Bobbi brown hydrating eye cream.

Next I apply tartes maracuja oil. I have the rollerball version. I roll it onto my finger then dab it onto sections of my face.

Lastly I apply my nivia lip butter in vanilla and macadamia.

That sums up my morning skin care routine. It's basic and it works great. For that routine it cost about $100 Canadian keep in mind I used one sample and some smaller versions. For all full sizes it would be closer to $150+
