Recent Purchases 3
Tuesday, 6 October 2015 | 0 comments





Hey cutie,

School has been bombarding me with work so I haven't found time to get around to writing this post but I am today!  I just wanted to haul my "recent" purchases.  I bought these about a month ago and have had a fair amount of time to test each product out.

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lipcolor in Neverending Nutmeg
I was anticipating getting this specific colour because many people claim it as a "dupe" for Limecrime's Cashmere.  If you look at swatches, they're not exactly dupes, but it's close enough that it made me excited.  The colour itself looks great on my lips; the cool-toned taupeness of it is right up my ally, however I really do not enjoy this formula.  It's one of those "2-step" lip lacquer lipcolours where you apply the colour first, wait for it to dry, and then apply a gloss on top to get rid of the tackiness.  It's similar to the Rimmel Provocalips however I find the L'oreal one flakes super easily and settles into fine lines.  After drinking with it on, the colour on the inner portion of my lips started to peel off in chunks and it's not cute.  So much for long lasting.

 Sephora Collection Colorful Face Powder in Tranquil
I'm always on a hunt for a good cool toned contour powder and I think I've hit the jackpot.  Sephora came out for a whole blush collection that includes highlight and contour shades.  Tranquil is a straight up grey-taupe cool toned contour shade that's perfect for pale-light skin.  It's not too crazy pigmented that it'll make you look like you over-did your contour, but it's also not too sheer where it's not buildable.  I especially love it for a natural nose contour.

 Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Plum Wine
I've been avoiding this bandwagon for quite some time but when I found myself in search for a drugstore cream blush, I kicked myself in the butt and bought this.  The 'bouncy' concept to me is still a little useless/I don't really get it, but the product actually works really well.  Since it's such a dark colour, it's super pigmented and I only need a tiny amount to give myself a nice flush on my cheeks.  I love that you can use this with both your fingers and a brush, making it ideal for traveling if you don't want to carry too many brushes around.

 Real Techniques Stippling Brush
What can I say?  Real Techniques just has great brushes.  I was lucky enough to snag this stippling brush (they are always sold out!).  I use it to apply my foundations; it's great to have multiple brushes just so you don't have to keep washing the same one every single day. 

 MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick
I finally found my MLBB!  This colour matches my lips so well and it's matte.  I tell you enough how much I love this lipstick.  It's my every day to-go lip colour. 

 MAC Nylon and Omega Eyeshadow
I was looking to get Nylon for an inner corner highlight for a while now and got suckered into getting Omega as well.  Omega is a good cool toned transition shade for your crease and I find myself using it every time I do my eyeshadow.

2014 Winter Wishlist - Makeup
Tuesday, 25 November 2014 | 0 comments

The holidays are around the corner and the year is coming to a close end.  That means it's time for a new wishlist of the year :)  Here are some of the makeup items that I've had my eyes on for the whole entire year.  Most of these are cult favourites.  It would be nice to get even one of these items on this list!  What are your makeup wishlist items?



Dolce & Gabbana Blush - Tan
This is a recommendation from my favourite Youtuber HeyClaire.  She uses this to contour her face and I just love the way it looks.  It's a cool toned bronzer colour, which fits my undertone so much better than all the warm orange bronzers out there.  She also recommended NYX's blush in Taupe as a similar (but not quite) dupe, which I absolutely love and is what I'm using now.  I'd love to upgrade to a higher quality version of it, so this is definitely something I want!

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer
Ah yes, another bronzer.  I love contouring and I've heard a lot of great things about this one.  I think this would be a good summer time one as it is slightly warmer than the D&G one.  This would be second on my list of most wanted bronzers if I wouldn't have my first pick.

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lolita
Ahhh, look at that packaging!!!  I must admit, I mostly want this lipstick for the packaging and the name; Lolita.  But, I am on the hunt for the perfect mauve/MLBB shade and people have said this is very promising.  I'd definitely have to go in person to test it out and it's not something I would blindly buy online.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Ethereal Light
This product has been talked about a lot during the beginning of the year and it has caught my attention.  I'm a big contour and highlight girl as both are part of my daily makeup routine and I want a really good quality cool/pink toned highlighter that makes it look like I'm glowing within!

Fresh Sugar Lychee Perfume
If I were to be turned into a scent and bottled up, this is exactly what I'd smell like.  I always go into Sephora whenever I can to spray myself down with this, and I've even gotten several samples of it.  It's just too pricey for me to splurge on right now!

MAC lipstick in Cyber
This.  This lipstick is the lipstick.  I love dark vampy lips, and this is the one that I need in my life.  Some people are scared of dark lips but not me.  I say, the darker the better.  Wet n Wild's Vamp It Up which is a close dupe to Cyber and I loveeeee the colour.  The only problem with Vamp It Up is that it's extremely patchy!  I want a good quality lipstick that will give me an even opaque application and that's where Cyber comes in.

Sigma Essential Kit - Mrs. Bunny
Everyone needs a good set of brushes and these have been well known to be some of the best brushes out there.  It's important to have a set of essential brushes to make your makeup application that much more professional and easier!


Lorac Pro Palette 2 
The first pro palette didn't really catch my attention because it seemed like there were a lot of warm tones which I am not drawn to.  But the pro palette 2?  This is filled with way more cool toned shadows which I love and really want to get my hands on!  The shade I'm most excited for is that plum matte shade!
