March Guest Post: Natalie from Ivory Avenue goes Green!

Hey guys! Natalie from Ivory Avenue is guest posting on my blog; check out her blog and enjoy the show!
-~-~-~-~-

Hi everyone! My name is Natalie and I blog over at Ivory Avenue. I'll be taking over Megan's blog today as part of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers monthly guest posting. The theme this month is green (for Saint Patrick's Day!), so I've decided to tell you all about my favourite green products: either green makeup, or beauty items in green packaging. I thought I would be spoiled for choice, but I have surprisingly few green makeup products. I really need to change that: I love wearing green eye makeup! green makeup beauty products canada beauty blog

Simple Kind To Skin Simple Facial Wipes ($9.99) I'm a sucker for wipes, and these are just lovely. They remove my eye makeup with ease and are just a pleasure to use.

  The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Pastel Cushion Blusher in Rose Cushion (~$9.00) By far one of the cutest blushes I own, this blush from The Face Shop is a favourite. It's a lovely colour and comes with the most adorable puff for application.

  Bella Terra Mineral Eyeshadow Shimmer in Leaf ($14.99) I picked this up on a whim at the mall a few years ago. I'm not crazy about loose powders, but this was just far too pretty to pass up. I should really review it soon.

  The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimizer ($19.00) I'm a huge fan of products that treat while they work, so this pore minimizer is obviously a favourite. I use it as a primer, and I really love that it helps my skin as the day goes by.

 Julep Nail Polish in Misti, Ryan, Lizanne, Lissa and Kam ($14.00) Because of my monthly subscription with Julep, I've ended up with a lot of their polishes. I do adore green polishes, and these are just a few of my favourites.

  Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Gossip Green ($6.49) I love shadow sticks! They are just so easy to use and can offer really great pigmentation. This green is absolutely perfect, in my opinion.

  Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm in 215 Hibiscus and 255 Marble ($7.49) These were my go-to lip product a few summers ago. They saved my lips during the heat in Dubai! They offer a lovely wash of colour, moisture, and comfort. I'm sad they are no longer available.

  The Body Shop Body Butter in Glazed Apple ($20.00) Possibly the yummiest smelling body butter from The Body Shop. This was a limited edition range for the holidays, though I think it could do just as well for a Summer collection. It smells very sweet (sickly to some, I'm sure) but I adore it.

  Mary Kay Hand Cream in Vanilla Mint ($13.00) This was sold in a duo of hand creams for the holidays. I love how it smells, and it's great for really dry winter skin.

  Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Balsam Fir ($6.95) As I'm sure you've noticed, I have a thing for green nail polish. I couldn't resist the cute bottle of this, and Balsam Fir was my favourite shade. Product sent complimentary for editorial consideration.

    I love the way you arranged your items Natalie!
    That blush really is too cute! And Julep Kam looks like it should be in my collection. :-)

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...
