Decluttering & Using My Stash

I decided to do a little decluttering of my makeup collection today, which I think is a great thing to do once in while, especially for those of us with a larger makeup collection. I often forget a lot of the makeup I have sitting around and a lot of great products just don't get enough use. Going over all my products, getting rid of things I don't like and then reorganizing helps me remember some of the things I've been neglecting, and kind of renews my inspiration to step out of my comfort zone in terms of makeup looks. Since I'm also on a no-buy, I've been making big efforts to use up my existing collection. Here are a few challenges I've taken on for myself to get to use up my makeup that I usually neglect on a daily basis, which I extend to all of you; Try to create makeup looks using single shadows. We tend to gravitate more to palettes, and these single shadows tend to be used much much less.  When you do use your eyeshadow palettes, create a

My 10 Fall Makeup Essentials

Hi everyone! Can you believe September is almost over? Was that the fastest month ever or what? I really wanted to take a little time to talk about my essential, must have makeup once Autumn comes around. While I'm not too strict when it comes to sticking to "seasonally appropriate" makeup, Fall is definitely my favourite season, so I definitely take advantage of it when it comes to my makeup choices. Here are the things that I think are definite must haves in your collection for the Autumn months! 1) A good under eye concealer/colour corrector Ah yes, back to school season. Midterms await, meaning sleepless nights and under eye darkness galore. Having a good heavy duty under eye concealer, and a good colour corrector is essential in the Fall. I recommend: Lancome 'Effacernes' Under Eye Concealer & Nyx Dark Circle Concealer/Corrector 2) A Cool Toned Nude Lipstick When I think of Fall lipstick, I think of 2 things: a vampy wine colour, and a cool

Weekly Pinterest Picks: Oversized Sweaters

The chilly weather is starting to show itself (finally!) and it'll soon be full blown weather for my personal favourite fall (and winter) fashion item - oversized sweaters. Anyone who knows me knows I have something of an addiction. I have so many oversized knit sweaters. I honestly cannot get enough and understandably so; they're comfy, they're warm, they look great with leggings or jeans; they work with flats, ankle boots or knee high boots; they look cute and fashionable all while feeling like you're wearing a blanket. So whats not to love? I gathered a few of my favourite oversized sweater looks I came across on Pinterest this week to share with you all. What do you think? Whats your favourite thing to wear during the fall season? Let me know! xo

Autumn

Autumn is by far my favourite season. I don't quite know what it is, but something about it just makes me feel warm and happy inside, even though it's only getting chillier outside. Honestly, I could never pinpoint just one thing about the season that makes it the one I prefer of them all. Everything just seems more crisp and bright and cozy. It almost makes me feel nostalgic, although I'm not quite sure for what. All I know is that there are so many things about autumn that make it pretty much better than the others; Big cozy sweaters Warming your hands with a hot drink Watching a movie under a big fluffy blanket Apple picking Pumpkin pie Pumpkin spiced lattes Pumpkin everything   Cozy socks Colourful trees The smell of freshly baked anything  The sound of the crunching leaves as you stomp on a big pile Warm cuddles Halloween Horror movie marathons Fall boots with wool socks underneath Holding hands to keep them warm Seeing your

Weekly Pinterest Picks: Autumn Nails

Autumn is fast approaching and I honestly cannot wait for everything that comes along with it; the colourful leaves, warm drinks, chunky knit sweaters and pretty fall coloured nails. In case, like me, any of you are looking for some inspiration for some original fall inspired nail designs, look no further! I collected some of my favourites from Pinterest this week to share with you all. I made sure to include ideas ranging from super simple to more complex, so anyone of any level of nail-art abilities can fully enjoy! Patterned Accent Nails I absolutely adore the look of a patterned accent nail. It adds a little something extra than just your typical glitter accent nail and these are so autumnal and lovely! Burgundy/Deep Red Nails A nice deep red colour is hands down my favourite for fall and one of my go-to looks when I'm either in a hurry or can't decide what to do with my nails.  Warm, Autumnal Colours Glitter Ombre Halloween Themed Neutral Shades

Weekly Pinterest Picks: Fall Fashion

As usual, I've been spending lots of time browsing Pinterest (follow me here , if you'd like!) and I've been very into fall fashion this week. Yes, I know, its still August, and fall is still a little ways away, but I can't help myself! Its my favourite season and hands down my favourite fashion wise, so I've been indulging myself in looking through and pinning tons of photos with warm cardigans, chunky scarves and boots! Anyway, while not all of us are thinking ahead to the chillier days, I still thought I'd share some of the looks I've been loving to maybe give you some inspiration for when you do decide to maybe spruce up your wardrobe, be it for back-to-school season or just an update for this years trends. Enjoy! xo
