Favourite Look of the Week Vol. 4: Fall Burgundy Eyes


Here is a look that I did to welcome the fall season! As much as I love neutral shadows, once in a while I like to switch things up with a colour out of my comfort zone. 





Products I used for this look:
Maybelline Color Tatoo in Pomegrante Punk as a base
"Eyelid" Shade from Wet n Wild Trio in Knock on Wood - all over the lid
"Blackout" from Urban Decay Naked 2 - outer third of the lid
Essence Gel Liner in Midnight in Paris - upper lash line
Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Review


Here is a review for my go-to of the moment, the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. I purchase this remover after finishing my makeup remover wipes that I normally use and decided to try something different. 

Product Description: This dual-phase 100% oil-free liquid activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup without any tugging, pulling or stinging. Your skin is left feeling clean and fresh with no oily residue. Aloe and Cucumber extracts soothe skin. 

My thoughts: I think this remover lived up to most of the claims as it effectively removes even waterproof eye products with ease and doesn't give my eyes any stinging sensation. I use this product with a cotton pad to remove eyeshadows and use a Q tip to remove eyeliner to prevent the product from  getting into the eye. The only claim that the product did not live up to is the no-residue claim. Once you take a look at some pictures below, you will see that the product left a film of oil after swiping the makeup off. Although the remover left some residue it's not a deal breaker for me because I cleanse my entire face afterwards. 

Here is a picture of a few waterproof eyeliners I use

And here is a picture after using the product to remove the liners

Price: $7.99 CAD
Place to buy: Drugstores

Collective Fall Haul!


I decided to treat myself and picked up some stuff from different places. Now, I didn't buy these things all at once. These are the bits and pieces I purchased in the last couple of weeks.



I'm so excited with the seasonal scented candles that Bath and Body Works came out with! The scents that I picked up are Frosted Cupcake and Pumpkin Caramel Latte. Both scents are just  so yummy! My first Gosh nail polish in Ocean



Shoppers was having a promo where a bottle of I love.... shower gel was free with a purchase of two bottles from the same brand. The scents I have are Mango and Papaya, Raspberry and Blackberry, and Lemons and Lime.



Now some makeup stuff! I wanted to try the new L'Oreal Extra Intense Liquid Eye Pencil and the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara and see if they're worth the hype! Some more candles from Bath and Body Works, this time the scents Salted Caramel (which reminds me of caramel popcorn!) and Cinnamon Sugared Donut. I have been wanting to buy a new wallet and when I saw this Guess wallet I immediately snatched it up! Good thing it was also on sale. :)



Finally! I was able to buy Urban Decay Naked Palette! I recently became a Sephora V.I.B. and took advantage of their 10% introductory promo. I also picked up the Shiseido 50 Ultra Sun Protection Cream, I've heard a lot of good things about this sunscreen so I wanted to try it out. La Roche Posay Mela-D Serum for my acne hyper pigmentation. And two nail polish sets from Winners, the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Collection in "Sophiesti-Cuties" and OPI Muppets Collection mini set.
