    red and white makeup look (canada day inspired #FOTD)

    To look and feel my best this Canada Day, I decided to create a red and white makeup look using some of my tried and true favourites.  There were two eyeshadow palettes used to create the eye look: the Tarte Tarteist Pro Remix Eyeshadow Palette and the Alyssa Edwards Eyeshadow Palette. Both are ones that I reach for often.…

    Hello summer! It is official. The summer season has arrived. For a lot of people, this is the best time of the year. School is out, the sun is shining, and there are fun seasonal activities to enjoy. Though I am looking forward to a few events over the next couple of months, my heart…

    testing out cheetos inspired nail polish

    Themed makeup? Why not themed nail polish? One of my friends came across the Taste Beauty x Cheetos Flamin’ Hot nail polish duo recently and very kindly gifted it to me. I could not wait to try it out for myself. Not only have I been using the Cheetos themed eyeshadow palette lately, but the nail polish…

    does it work?? colourpop super shock shadow

    Every now and then, some ColourPop makeup products seem to find their way to stores like Winners and Marshalls. I’ve tried a few items from the brand (the High School Musical collection was kindly gifted to me by one of my dear friends and some Powerpuff Girls and Lizzie McGuire items were found at Winners) but I…

    r.e.m. beauty yours truly makeup set (mini reviews + FOTD)

    It has been nice having r.e.m. beauty products available in Canada. There is a lot that I have enjoyed so far. Recently, the limited edition Yours Truly Makeup Set was released from the brand.

    testing out a cheetos themed eyeshadow palette

    What is it about novelty items? They are always hard for me to resist. The sillier something is…the more I want to put it to use. Take the Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Crunchy Eyeshadow Palette as an example. This was something that I came across a few times at Winners. I tried to resist. In fact, I did resist the…

    testing dollar store makeup (tivoli and la colors)

    Is it possible to find great beauty products for a whole lot less? Absolutely. As wonderful as it is to treat myself to items from Sephora every now and then, the drugstore, discount stores, and dollar stores are frequented far more often. So, it is nice to put dollar store products to the test sometimes!…

    does it work?? hard candy face off luminous liquid blush

    I have never been shy about my love for Hard Candy products. Though it is becoming more difficult for me to find some of my old favourites…it is still a thrill to put anything from the brand to the test. A little while back, the Face Off Luminous Liquid Blush caught my eye. In fact,…

    review: violet voss berry burst fun sized eyeshadow palette

    Bigger isn’t always better. When it comes to beauty products, it is nice to have smaller items on hand at times. Not only are pint sized products easier to store but they are also ideal for on-the-go use. The Berry Burst Fun Sized Eyeshadow Palette from Violet Voss is an excellent example. It is compact,…

    one/size wicked unlimited eye and face palette (review + looks)

    I love Wicked a little too much. Though it isn’t my all time favourite musical, it is certainly in my top three. When One/Size announced a Wicked themed makeup collection, there was no question about whether or not something from the line would be added to my makeup collection. Though there were a few different products, ultimately,…
