Birthday Haul!

Guess what? I turned 18 today! I can vote! I can buy lottery tickets! I am no longer protected under youth laws! Woohoo!
I wasn't even supposed to get presents until March, but my mom went to the States and picked me up a bunch of amazing goodies from Basin White, the fancy bath store in Disney World.

 Now onto the good stuff...
These are all the beauty items I got for my birthday! I also got food, some accessories and a beautiful necklace.



You know how they say that if you're not obsessed with something, all you'll get for your birthday is fancy soap?
Well, I'm obsessed with fancy soap. I love me some bath time.

First up is the stuff from Mom!



This is expensive stuff, y'all. My jaw dropped.
The bath salts smell like lilac, coconut and pecan-honey respectively. They're gorgeous and I can't wait to try them out.



This body butter is Oatmeal Honey Scented, and it doesn't smell like Oatmeal Honey. It smells very... white and elegant and delicate. It's very rich and actually feels like butter- you have to warm it up with your fingers- but it's not greasy and doesn't leave a white cast on the skin. I love it. I've made myself a rule for project finish-it that I will use my Bath and Body Works lotion on my lower body, and this on my upper, because I don't want to not smell like this for a second.



Sorry for the sideways picture, but this is a body scrub scented in Satsuma, which is one of the Body Shop's most popular scents. I'm excited to use this too- it smells so much better than my Burt's Bees one!



LUSH goodies from the airport!! I've never tried LUSH before! :D

The right is from my mom- it's a massage bar in Each Peach. It's pure magic and so relaxing. It smells amazing, peach and citrus are my favourite scents and this bar combines the best of the two! She also got me the decorative tin to go with it. <3

On the right is a bath bomb from my grandma (who went on vacation with my mom). It is the Honey Bee (honey is my other favourite scent) and it's huge! I'm debating on whether to cut it in half, or fully enjoy it in its rich, delicious glory.




Next is this giant stack of adorable bath bombs from Basin White, courtesy of my grandma! Aren't they sweet? They all smell like candy! Which one do I use first?!



I got this stuff over the weekend with my dad, along with lots of clothes and some coconut butter! I've been wanting to try the NYX HD eyeshadow base forever, but I'm saving it for when I'm done all of my current ones (which will be a while).

I also got 10 dollars from my friend Jen, a Roll Up The Rim free coffee voucher from Kassidy, and lunch courtesy of my friend Lauren! My sister got me a beautiful sparkly infinity scarf and is going to make me a DIY eyeliner holder (she does amazing DIYs- check out her youtube channel, she's doing a giveaway this Saturday! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8kWZO9HEzBRncg9cAB2NA  )

I'm glad to be 18! And I'll be the most pampered, best-smelling 18 year old on the block. ;D

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
