The Makeup Monologues

Hey guys! Been a hot minute, but I thought I'd do a quick post about my wishlist for the Spring 2019 Sephora VIB Sale! Because I'm a cast member at Sephora, I don't actually get any extra discount during the sale, so this is more of a list of things I'd like to pick up or try out currently. I made a graphic with the products and now I'll go through the list and tell you what they are and why I want to try them and/or pick them up! First off, the Moschino x Sephora Collection Liquid Markers lip set ($43 CAD) . I tried the pink one on in store and to my relative surprise, the formula is different than the Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stains- it reminds me more of the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment formula, but a little thicker. The lipstick lasted me through my lunch of risotto and ice cream, through a six hour shift, and my two-hour trip home through the rain. I'm thoroughly impressed, and since every colour in this set is right up my alley (though I underst...

In light of the recent Sephora VIB Sale, announcement, today I’ll be writing about some products that are on my wishlist! These will either be products I’ve sampled and loved, but haven’t bitten the bullet on purchasing yet, or products I’ve just been lemming over or wanting to try for whatever reason! I’ll split the categories into haircare, skincare/body care, tools, makeup and fragrance- I am a man of many wants. Haircare IGK Car Service Blowout Balm, $35: I sampled this and I freaking love the body it gives my hair. It completely transforms my look and I like it more than any other hairstyling product I’ve ever used. I’m going to sample a few more things just in case I find something I might like better, but if I don’t, I am definitely going to pick this up during the Spring VIB sale. Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Peppermint Oil Cooling Jelly Conditioner, $47: This is a product that I haven’t tried but I love when my in-shower ha...

Hey, it's been a while since I did a Beauty Wishlist post! Recently, I've noticed myself getting annoyed with my usual primer- it's just not working for me anymore. I've been wishing after a lot of different primers, but these are the ones I am considering purchasing the most! 1. Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer, $40 CAD This sounds like the primer of my dreams. It's purportedly soothing, smoothing, and moisturizing, and smells like coconuts. It sounds exactly like what I need in the morning to refresh my tired, flaky skin. And I'm bonkers for anything coconut-scented! 2. BECCA Backlight Priming Filter, $46 CAD I don't exactly know why I'm so crazy over this- I think it's because it looks so luxurious, and I love anything that helps me to get my glow on. I'm slightly worried that this might emphasize my pores, though. I really want to get a sample of it to try it out! 3. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer- Hydrating, $43 CAD...

Highlighters are the talk of the makeup world in recent months, and I've got a lot on my list. I wanna up my highlight game. Here's the things I'm coveting! 1.  BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Champagne Glow Palette feat. Champagne Pop x Jaclyn Hill I want this thing more than life. I have no reason not to want it. It's perfect. I believe I detailed this in an earlier wishlist post. This palette altogether is cheaper than a single Shimmering Skin Perfector, I really want to try Blushed Copper, everyone has been hyping the hell out of Champagne Pop, and the Pearl one would actually work on my pale skin. Hell yeah. Need. 2. MAC In Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Oh, Darling! Ha, ha, you knew this was gonna be here. EVERYONE wants this. I just think it's very pretty- product-wise and packaging wise. I'd love to own it, but I'm not super crazy about finding a way to get my hands on it. I'd settle for a dupe! 3. Colourpop Super Shock Chee...

I sure hope you guys like reading these wishlists, because oh boy, do I sure love writing them! Here's some stuff I want from a higher-end brand: Marc Jacobs Beauty. The only thing I have from their line so far is the eyeliner in Blacquer, and it's phenomenal, so this is a brand that really intrigues me. 1. Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Plum(Age), $31 The Highliner in Blacquer changed my life, and I'm absolutely dying to try the rest of the extensive colour collection offered by MJB. It's so hard to find a good purple liner nowadays, and this one looks absolutely breathtaking. I really want it. 2. Shameless Bold Blush in Outspoken, $36 More purple! This blush claims to be both shameless and bold, and that's what I look for in a blush most of the time. I haven't heard much hype about these so I'm not sure how good they are... but that lilac though. Purple is my favourite colour for any type of makeup! 3. #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour...
