Sephora Makeup & Perfume Haul
I’ve been very, very bad.
But in fairness to me, this haul was a long time coming. I checked my blog archive, and I haven’t done a Sephora haul since the end of April! (more…)
Tutorial: The Perfect Red Lip
Whether you’re going for a classic pin-up look, or just want to spice up your makeup, the perfect red lip is a staple.
I love wearing red lipstick on days I’m feeling a little drab. There’s something about it that just lifts up your spirits and changes the way your carry yourself. (more…)
Yes To… Drugstore Hauls
Drugstores are a dangerous place for me. I always end up browsing through the aisles, knowing there’s something there I should be buying. And in the process of searching, I end up finding a few other things.
Yesterday was just such a day. I went in to re-purchase my favorite lip balm, and went out with my bag stuffed full of drugstore goodies. (more…)
Product Rave: Airbrush Legs
I have had this stuff on my shopping list since forever, but somehow always manage to forget to buy it when I’m at the drugstore. Last week I finally bought myself a can, after hearing and reading so many rave reviews of it. (more…)
The Hit List: Best Red Lip Products
Ah, the red lip. A statement of femininity for decades. I love wearing a red lip, both in the evening and even during the day sometimes, to perk myself up when I’m feeling a bit drab.
Here are my top picks for red lip products, from pencils to lipsticks to glosses, and everything in between. (more…)
Tutorial: Berry Stained Ombre Lips
If you’ve ever longed for natural-looking flushed lips that look like you just devoured a bushel of blackberries, then this tutorial is for you. (more…)
Tutorial: My Everyday Soft Cat Eye
I’ve gotten a ton of requests to do a tutorial on my everyday eye makeup, so here we go! This soft, slightly smokey cat eye is the eye makeup I do pretty much every day (though sometimes I skip a few steps to save time), both for daytime and evening.
I find this style of eye makeup most flattering, because it isn’t too obvious but makes your eyes look bigger and more awake, and your lashes fuller.
It may seem like a lot of steps at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can bang this out in under five minutes. (more…)
A Gatsby Affair
Tonight I went to see The Great Gatsby – my most anticipated film of the year. Baz Luhrmann is one of my all-time favorite directors, and Carey Mulligan one of my favorite actresses; so when I heard the two were coming together on this project, I was thrilled. (more…)
My 10 Favorite MAC Lipsticks
I love MAC lipsticks. They’re good quality, long lasting, come in a range of colours and textures, and make up the majority of my lipstick collection. I do use (and love) a variety of other brands, from drugstore to high end, but I thought I’d share my top 10 best MAC lipsticks. (more…)
Sephora and MAC Haul & Review
You guys seem to like makeup posts, so I thought I’d share a few things I’ve bought lately. Sephora had a 15% off everything promotion recently, so I took advantage of that and repurchased a few products I was running low on.
As for the MAC stuff, I plead guilty. No excuse there! But let’s start with what I got at Sephora. (more…)
Drugstore Beauty Haul
Sometimes I lose control at the drug store. This was one of those times. I was walking by, and just couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something I was supposed to buy there. But for the life of me, I could not remember what. So I decided to do a little browsey-browse inside, and hope that something would jog my memory.
My memory remains un-jogged, but I bought just about everything, so I think I’ve got my bases covered. (more…)
Recent Little Splurges: Sephora, VSX, Forever 21
A few things I bought recently – this ‘vanilla cream topping’ body wash by Philosophy, one of my favorite brands. It smells divine – I can’t wait to lather up with this in the bath! (more…)
Sephora Haul
I know what you’re thinking: another Sephora haul? Well, yes. It’s not been a good month for my credit card, I’ll tell you that. But also, all of my orders seem to be arriving all at once. So there’s that.
Anyway – my Sephora package came last night, but I was so exhausted that I didn’t even open it until this morning. I bought three things, and got several things for free, as well, which is always nice. I bought: (more…)
