Huge Colourpop Haul!!

If there is one brand that I just cannot resist browsing (and ordering) from, it has to be Colourpop. A while back Colourpop was having free international shipping, which in other words means I couldn't help myself. Of course, I had to share everything I got because I'm SO excited!

I picked up a little bit of everything, and I'm really happy with everything. One of the Super Shock Shadows I ordered came in damaged unfortunately, but thankfully the texture of the shadows makes it really easy to just press it nicely back into the pot. Not the prettiest, but still works just as well.

Anyway, Here's what I picked up!:

Lips:
Ultra Satin Lip in Chandelier
Ultra Matte Lip in Donut
Ultra Satin Lip in Cozy
Ultra Satin Lip in Bare Necessities
Ultra Glossy Lip in My Jam
Ultra Glossy Lip in Bestie (not pictured, I keep that one in my purse!)

I also got Mini Ultra Satin Lips in the shades Frick N' Frack, Prim, Dopey and Strip. Really excited to play around with these ones since they're not necessarily shades I would gravitate towards.

Eyes:
I finally picked up some of their pressed eyeshadows which I've been very curious about since they launched. I got the shades:
Double Date (Metallic Lavender)
Pinky Promise (Metallic Wine)
Come and Get It (Duochrome Rose with Gold Shift)

I also picked up the Heavy Hitter palette which features the shades:
Full Zip (Matte Ivory)
Ringer (Metallic Champagne)
Side Tracked (Matte Terracotta with gold flecks)
Top Notch (Matte Terracotta Brown)

I restrained myself into only buying 3 Super Shock Shadows this time (which I currently am regretting, but I'm sure my wallet is relieved). I picked up the shades:
Porter (burgundy with gold glitter)
Static (deep satin burgundy)
White Rabbit (pink copper)
(Note: Porter and Static are being discontinued, so you can pick them up on discount right now before they run out!)

I also picked up one of their highlighters in 'Wisp' which I am EXTREMELY excited to try out. It is so stunning in swatches!

And thats everything! I will likely be swatching everything in the upcoming weeks, but please comment below which ones you'd like to see swatched first!

Happy Friday everyone!

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious. Perfect for Christmas morning! Makes anywhere from 8-12 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Ingredients: 2 cups of All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 1 teaspoon of vanilla (but you can add another 1/2 teaspoon if you want a stronger vanilla taste!) 1-3/4 cups of milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Directions: 1) In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) 2) Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients 3) Mix

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
