The Canadian Beauty Bloggers Network Tag!

A short while ago I was accepted to be a part of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers network! One of the ladies did a fun tag for us to do, and here's mine!

 What was the first makeup item you ever purchased?

The first I ever purchased with my own money was a Revlon's Iced Amethyst lipstick.

What colour/type of lipstick is taking over your collection?

 Red! I decided a while ago that I didn't have enough red lipstick and then purchased a ton to 'compensate'. Then Sephora put out this year's birthday gift and now I may or may not be hooked on NARS Velvet Lip Pencils... 


What is the best drug store brand item you have ever purchased?

 Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone palette. It's beautifully pigmented, smooth, blendable and a must-have for any makeup beginner!

Name one high end item that is at the top of your wishlist and why.

 NARS Audacious lipsticks- I'd never buy one full price but they're gorgeous and if I'm going to buy a lighter pink lipstick I want it to be amazing quality.
Here's the shade I want, Juliette!

Which beauty item do you have a hard time saying “no” to?

 Cream blush!

Show us a picture of an item from your stash that has the best packaging.

 If you mean 'prettiest', then that would be my Anna Sui lipstick. If you mean most efficient, then my Too Faced phone palette is the most practical.

Which beauty technique would you like to master?

 Liquid eyeliner! I have hooded eyes so the eyeliner always smudges before it has a chance to dry.

What does your beauty storage station look like? (Share a picture if you’d like)

 I have a three-shelf standing rack with several organization units in it, along with this beautiful brush/eyeliner holder that my sister made me.

What is the best part of being a CBB?

 The support when it comes to anything, whether it be makeup, blogging or finances! I've only been a CBB for a very short time but I've already gained so many valuable tips and friends.

Which brand do you WISH was available in Canada, but isn’t?

 LORAC! I need that Pro palette...

Explain your one beauty discovery that totally changed the makeup game for you.

 Eyebrow powder. I have gaps in my brows and could never understand why my face didn't look put-together until I started filling them in.

Pick one palette from your collection – show us a picture of it, and tell us why you LOVE it.

 My Smashbox on the Rocks Luxe palette- it's huge, great quality and has all the eyeshadow I'll ever need, really!

Name some of your favourite youtube beauty gurus.

 I don't watch youtube, but some of my favourite beauty blogs are Makeup Your Mind, Beauty Reductionista, Temptalia and Brightest Bulb in the Box.

What is your ‘holy grail’ item and why?

 TheBalm's Mary Lou Manizer. It makes my skin look amazing and defines my cheekbones, plus looks awesome as an eyeshadow.





Lightning round!!!!!

    Thanks for doing the tag! And you're so right about Lorac - THIS Canadian bought 1 of their palettes, and was officially smitten.

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
