The BEST Lip Colours for Spring!

When it comes to seasonal makeup, my two favourites would have to be Spring and Autumn, As much as I love my vampy berry lips when the cooler months roll around, I love all the pretty colours I get to play around with in the spring time. Here are the lipsticks that are pretty much always in my rotation all Spring long: From Left to Right: Wet N' Wild Liquid Catsuit Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Nudist Peach'  Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Baci'  Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Instigator'  Essence Lipstick in 'Coral Calling'  Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 'Vibrant Mandarin'  Nyx Lipstick in 'Vitamin'  Nyx Lipstick in 'Blush'  Let me know if you'd like lip swatches or entire makeup looks created with any of these! I'm so excited that it's finally spring! xo 

Winter Project Pan Update!

 Hey everyone! So here is my update on my winter project pan! So: I completely finished the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation and the Benefit Porefessional primer which I'm really happy about. The Maybelline Fit Me concealer seems to be one of those products that never ends! I use it on the daily and it just never seems to run out! I do think I'm on the last few drops of it now though.  I'm really happy with the progress I made on the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette . While it doesnt look like much, I managed to hit pan on 2 more shades, which I think is pretty good. Forcing myself to use it more often also made me love it a lot more. This palette doesn't have the best reviews and I really don't know why because I really do think it's a great one overall. One product it seemed really hard for me to make progress on was the Marcelle Kohl eyeliner , even though I was using it frequently and sharpening it as well. I realized pretty soon after

March Favourites!

 It's that time again; new month, new batch of products I've been loving. I tried out a lot of new products this month so I had a really hard time narrowing this list down to an acceptable size, but I decided to go with the products I've used on a near daily basis throughout the month of March. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Granite I was on quite a brow product hunt last month. I wanted something that could effortlessly fill in sparse areas without making my brows look too dark or too clown-like. This product is honestly so fool proof and looks so great. You can build up the pigmentation as well, so you can choose to go for a natural , subtle look or a full on Instagram style brow all with one product! Nyx Dewy Finish Setting Spray As a setting spray, I thought this product was good, but not good enough to keep me using it on a daily basis. I recently started using this to dampen my Beauty Blender and my foundation and concealer have never looked better ! It

What I Bought this Month: March Makeup Haul!

Hi everyone! I wanted to do some kind of haul since I bought quite a lot of new makeup this month, so I figured I'd just do a monthly haul showing you everything I picked up this month! Let me know if you like these and maybe I'll make it a monthly thing! During the spring break, I made a little road trip to the US where I got to pick up some drugstore products that we don't have here in Canada, specifically Wet n' Wild and Milani. The CVS I went to didn't have the biggest selection, but I'm still really excited about the things I picked up! From Wet N' Wild I picked up the PhotoFocus Foundation , which I've heard great things about. I'm most excited about the highlighter I picked up in the shade 'Boozy Brunch' . I mean, how gorgeous does that look???  I also picked up two of the Liquid Catsuit Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Nudist Peach and Give Me Mocha. You can see swatches of them on my Instagram here ! The Milani sectio

Review: Trying Out Acure Products

A little while back I was sent a lovely box of natural products from M Squared Brands (you can check out the entire haul here ). Three of the products were from Acure Organics , a brand that I definitely invite you to check out (if you haven't already!). Their range of products look incredible, and I'll definitely be picking up some more stuff from them. All their products are gluten, paraben, sulfate, phthalate, harmful preservative and artificial colour free too!   The first product of theirs that I picked up right off the bat was the Lavender Calming Body Lotion. This is such a nice lightweight moisturizer that absorbs extremely quickly. It's a great one to just throw into your handbag. I personally like to keep on my bedside table because the lavender scent is so nice and soothing to use before bed!  The Quick Fix Correcting Balm with argan oil and starflower is such a great product to use now in the winter, I've very quickly incorporated it into my daily

Review: Arbonne Makeup Primer

Disclaimer:  I was sent these products for free, for review purposes. All opinions, as always, are 100% my own! If there's one makeup product that I tend to forget to use in my routine, it's usually primer. I've tried out quite a few primers that I feel like don't do much for my makeup or just don't make much of a difference so I often tend to skip it. A few months ago I was sent some Arbonne samples to try out (you can read my review on the RE9 Advanced Line here ) so I was curious if this primer would do anything different for my skin. This primer is one of the silicone feeling ones that smooth out your pores and leave your skin super smooth . It reminds me a lot of the Benefit PoreFessional , minus the strong scent. This one has no scent , which I appreciate since my skin can be sensitive to scented products. Thankfully I don't have any negative reactions to silicone primers, but I know some people do, so keep that in mind. I definitely think

Natural Beauty Haul: Blogger Box from M Squared Brands

I've always been interested in delving into the world of natural beauty and skincare products, but I've never been too sure where to start. Fortunately for me, M Squared Brands sent me this lovely package filled with some amazing looking natural products that I cannot wait to review for you all! I've been trying out a lot of them since the package arrived, but I'll wait until I've formed concrete opinions on each before reviewing! I got quite a few products from the brand Acure, which I am excited to try out. I haven't yet tried out the Aromatherapeutic Moroccan Argan Oil but how amazing does that sound? I'll definitely be trying that one out very soon. The packaging on these products are also super cute! I also receieved the Lavender Calming Body Lotion and the Quick Fix Correcting Balm.  As someone who suffers from eczema, I was immediately drawn in by the Calendula Intensive Skin Recovery cream from the brand Weleda, and it's been the one ite
