Favourite Look of the Week Vol. 6

Hey guys!

I feel like it's been a while since I posted a favourite look in this blog so here's the look that I've been wearing this week. I'm trying to be more creative and have been experimenting with using more than one "all over the lid" colour and see which will work. Here's the look I came up with using my Naked 2 palette.

For this look I used the following:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance - prime the lid

"Chopper" from Naked 2 - inner third of the lid

"Half-Baked from Naked 2 - middle third of the lid

"Blackout" from Naked 2 - outer third of the lid
"Naked" from Naked 1 - crease

Wet n Wild Megalast Retractable Eyeliner in Blackest Black - upper lash line and waterline

Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express Cat Eyes - mascara

My Top 12 Beauty Products of 2012

Hey guys!

How was your holidays? 

For today's post I would like to share with you the beauty products that I have discovered and loved for the past year. 2012 was the year that I really got into makeup and tried quite a few products so here are the ones that immediately popped into my head when I thought of my top products.

Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pure Review

I have been enjoying my mini Benefit POREfessional Pro Balm so much that I have forgotten about my Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pure that was included in my very first haul post in this blog. I was looking for a lipstick in my make up collection when I came across this primer still in the box, not getting much love from me so I decided to whip it out and use. I have been using this primer for about 3 weeks now which I think is a pretty good amount of time in testing a product for review.

Beauty Lemming Vol. 1

Hey guys!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Here are some products that are on my wish list for future purchases

1) MAC Supercontinental Blush ($24.00 CAD) - This blush is part of MAC's Styleseeker Collection that launched last week. It's a gorgeous bright coral blush with a satin finish. I think peachy coral blushes suit my medium  skin tone well, but sadly, it's already sold out in MAC's website. I hope I can pick this one up at the MAC counter near me.

2) Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Muse ($33.00 CAD) - I saw some youtube review videos of this product and I was instantly hooked! Great colour selection

3) Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation (around $15.00 CAD) - I haven't tried the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation yet but I read that this has the same coverage but better formula. Once I'm done with my current foundation, I'll pick this one up

4) Urban Decay Naked Palette ($60.00 CAD) - The only thing that's keeping me from buying this product is the price. I have the Naked 2 which I bought when I was visiting relatives in New Jersey so I got it for $10.00 cheaper. I have read that the original Naked Palette has is more versatile.

5) Too Faced Cat Eye Kit ($14.00 CAD) - I'm sucker for sampling kits from high end make up brands! I like how I can get to try their products at a more affordable price and see if I will pull the trigger and buy the regular size. I read that the new eyeliner from Too Faced is really long lasting and super opaque.

What products are you lemming for lately?

Sephora and Essie Haul

Hello lovely people!

I've had a stressful week at work so I decided to go to the mall yesterday and indulge in some retail therapy by visiting Sephora, Walmart and Winners.

Here are the items that I picked up!

From Sephora

Too Faced Prime and Poreless Pure Oil-Free Skin Smoothing Face Primer for Sensitive Skin. 

Price: $38.00 CAD

Whew! That was a long product name! Hehe. I haven't read much reviews about this product from beauty blogs as its fairly new still but I'm really excited to try this out for my oily skin. 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Price: $24.00 CAD

I have been perfectly happy with my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer for the past few months but when I started wearing makeup for longer hours because of work I noticed that after about 8 hours my eyeshadow creased. I decided to try this out and see if this product is worth the hype.

Benefit 'How To Look The Best At Everything' Set

Price: $36.00 CAD

I have been lemming for Benefit products ever since I got into makeup but their prices are not really budget friendly. So when I saw this set on Sephora's website I decided that I had to have it! This set includes; the POREfessional, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation, Boi-ing Concealer in shades 03 and 04, and Hello Flawless Powder.

Benefit 'Go Tropicoral' Set

Price: $32.00 CAD

This is another makeup set from Benefit that I was really excited about. It includes; mini Chacha tint, mini High Beam, Coralista Powder Blush sample size, and Coralista lip gloss sample size.

From Walmart

Essie Nail Polish in Penny Talk

Price: $8.96 CAD

This shade is included in their Mirror Metallics Collection that recently came out. Its described as "an authentic copper metallic" 

Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

Price: $8.96 CAD

I think this shade is in their permanent range which is described as "classic pale pink with a sheer finish"

Essie Nail Polish in Eternal Optimist

Price: $8.96 CAD

This may be in the permanent range as well and it described as "a spiced tea rose with a dash of cream"

From Winners

Essie Summer Collection Mini Set

Price: $12.99 CAD

This mini set includes shades in Bikini So Teeny, Mojito Madness, Off the Shoulder, and Fear or Desire
