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...

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...

Ugh, hey guys, it may as well be halfway through May and here I am posting my April favourites. What happened is that I wrote this entire post and then tried to add a few extra pictures, and then Blogger froze up. I lost the whole post and then my inspiration/motivation to get it done went poot. But here are the things I've loved this past month. There are a lot of surprising ones, even for me. NYC?! Black eyeliner?! Skincare?! I feel like I almost don't know who I am anymore. Marcelle Rouge Xpression Lipstick in Cleopatra First is a sleeper hit for me. I picked this up because Marcelle was March's brand of the month for the CBB. I ended up loving this plum/raspberry colour, and since Marcelle prides themselves in making hypoallergenic cosmetics, there's no fragrance or scent to this lipstick, which is a huge deal-maker for me. Plus the history-related name made it hard to resist. I love this lipstick and must have worn it a quarter of the month, at least....
