The I Heart Spring tag!

As I sit here writing this, my shoes are sitting in a pile of snow because I sank in mud walking home from the library. Yeah, that's spring in Canada for you. My grandma's watermain is still frozen!

But my face has been bitten by the springy makeup bug, so dang it, I'm doing this tag! Apologies for the quality of the pictures.

 1. Favourite spring nail polish?

Revlon Parfumerie forever! Practically the only polishes I wear, and my picks for spring are Ginger Melon (pinky coral) and Sunlit Grass (primary yellow).

2. What is your must-have lip colour this spring?


Surprisingly, Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Raven. Mostly because it matches my spring coat and boots.

3. Show us your favourite spring item of clothing!


A purple jacket by Vero Moda that I got at the Bay. It goes with any outfit, seriously, and looks chic as all get-out. Plus- purple!

4. Favourite spring scarf/accessory?

I am not an accessory person. But I finally landed my grubby little hands on this Anna Sui Rouge Ring, and damnit if I'm not going to wear this gaudy, amazing piece of plastic everywhere.

5. What spring trends are you most excited about this year?

Red lips. I don't even know why, at first I was upset about the trend because I wanted to wear my oranges. But ... I dunno. I need to get more wear out of my reds!

6. What's your favourite flower?

Lilacs forever and always. They remind me of growing up, my neighbourhood has always been filled with lilac bushes. The scent is so saturated for a few weeks in the spring that it'll make your eyes water. This candle from Bath and Body Works smells just like a real lilac bloom.

7. Favourite spring footwear?

My red wellies! 

8. Favourite perfume for spring?

 NEST Amazon Lily, but I'm on the hunt for a new one. Does anyone have any recommendations for fruity fragrances, say, peach?

9. What is spring like where you live?

 Sweating in a tank top as you slip on ice walking down the street. For real.

10. Favourite spring candle?

This lil' baby right here. It's sooo goood.

Well, that's the tag! I just figured I'd do a quick post before the day is over. I tag Chelle from Makeup Your Mind  and anyone else who wants to do the tag! Comment if you do so I can check it out!

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...
