Face of the Day - Christmas in the Summer

I may only September, but I've already been to a couple holiday previews.  Which is not at all a problem, because holiday releases are my fave!  I live for a good gift set.

This past August I went to a holiday preview event for Shoppers Drug Mart, so of course I had to dress up to match the festive spirit.  Here is the look that I put together.

Quo Cosmetics Fall 2016 Collection - Review and Look

Quo's limited edition collection for fall 2016 is here, and I put it to the test.

This collection is laid out quite similarly to their spring 2016 'Prismatic' collection, as far as what it contains.  Let's see how it measures up.

Cover FX Enhance Click 'Gold Dust', 'Blossom', 'Gilded' - Review and Swatches

By now you've probably heard about Cover FX.  Perhaps you're one of the people who have been swarming Sephora stores left and right trying to get their hands on the Custom Enhancer Drops that you've seen beauty gurus Jaclyn Hill and Tati use.

Even though the Enhancer Drops are hard to track down, Cover FX has different forms of highlighters to hold you tight, until that next restock.

Face of the Day: Go Greige

It's time I bring back my 'Face of the Day' post, because sometimes your makeup just works and you say to yourself "This needs to be documented".

I'm really feeling the grey-toned lipsticks these days.  I don't care if it looks semi-zombie-ish - I dig it!

MAC Vibe Tribe Gleamtones Powder 'Dunes At Dusk' - Review and Swatches

Today I'm trying out another piece from the MAC Vibe Tribe collection (Check out my review of the 'Hot Chocolate' lipstick HERE).

This is the MAC Vibe Tribe Gleamtones Powder in 'Dunes At Dusk'.

Quo Summer 2016 Limited Edition Summer Collection - Review and Swatches

Feeling nautical?  This summer Quo Cosmetics is yelling 'Anchors Away!".

Take a look at what you'll see pop up at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Diorshow Mono Eyeshadow 'Minimalism', 'Atmosphere', 'Techno', 'Cosmopolite' - Review and Swatches

Dior just came out with a new collection of eyeshadow singles to add to their roster.

As much as I love pre-made palettes, I always think that it's worth-while to have a few singles in your collection to not only use as staples in any look that you're putting together, but it gives you the freedom to not feel confined to the colors provided in a palette - there's no limit to your creativity!

Face of the Day - The Trial Of Alice

Hello all!  My most recent 'Face of the Day' is look a that I put together when I went to see a musical theatre performance called the theme "The Trial of Alice".  The performance told the story of  Alice was facing off with the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and the Rabbit, after causing havoc in Wonderland.

The theme of the show was dark and mysterious, so of course I took the opportunity to match the makeup to the occasion.

Face of the Day: IMATS New York 2016

It's about time that I start posting some photos from my trip to New York.

Here is the look that I put together to wear to IMATS.

FASHION Magazine: Beauty Panel - Prom Look

Hi all!  This week's FASHION Magazine Beauty Panel entry is up!  The challenge was to travel back in time, to get a second chance at your prom makeup.

This was the look that I created.

Face of the Day: MAC Zac Posen Palette

Happy Wednesday!  I'm attempting to do one 'Face of the Day' post per week, so here is one featuring a palette that I was super excited about.

When the makeup fairy brought me the Zac Posen 'Eye Z You' MAC Palette I was BEYOND excited.  I'm a fan of Zac's work, and I think that the look of  palette lines right up with his work in the fashion industry - lovely and able to appeal to the masses.

Face of the Day: The Balm Dot Com

I was introduced to theBalm cosmetics about two years ago, and I've been hooked ever since.  Every year on Cyber Monday, they have a 50% off sale on their website - that's when I stock up.

Here is a look I created using some of my favourite products from theBalm.

Face of the Day: What I Wore On My Birthday!

Even though my birthday was over a month ago, I found these pictures last week.  Here's what I wore on the best day of the year.

Better late than never, right?

Face of the Day: Bold Glam

Hiiiiiii!  I've got my attempt at a bold, Jaclyn-Hill inspired look.

For the longest time I've been trying to mimic the was my favourite youtube, Jaclyn Hill, does her liquid eye liner.  She makes a sharp wing in the corner, and connects it to the rest of her eye by applying a thick, yet angular line.  Granted, Jaclyn does a bolder line because she wears falsies, but I like to stick with my natural lashes (Also, I'm terrible at applying falsies).

Face of the Day: Glossy Berry Lip

I still struggle with knowing how pair up an eye look, with a bold lip, without it looking like too much.

My go-to is to wear the lip that I want, and do a nude eye - so that's what I did!

Face of the Day: Valentine's Day Look & Tutorial, with Hard Candy

Along with the nail art looks I posted earlier this week, I wanted to do a makeup look that you can sport this V-Day.

For a pink-themed look, look no further than Hard Candy*.

Face of the Day: Smoky Jade

Hi all!  Can I just re-iterate how much I missed playing with eyeshadow?  This whole skin allergy thing has really made me fall back in love with creating eye looks, and my 'face of the day' posts as a whole.

This 'face of the day' features a palette that I've been neglecting since I bought it.

Face of the Day: Andreja Pejic Artist Palette

Hello, friends!  Today I'm sharing my face of the day, which features my very first MAKE UP FOR EVER palette.

This is my first time trying eyeshadows from MAKE UP FOR EVER.  I always swatch them when I'm at Sephora, so I was really excited to try their shadows out.

Face of the Day: Rock a Red Lip

I can finally wear eyeshadow!  My skin problems are starting to clear up, which means that I can play with makeup again.

Today's face of the day features a red lip, which I am always afraid to wear, because I never know how to balance it out with the rest of my look.

Face of the Day - Everyday Sparkle

Today I am sharing my current go-to look.  It seems like lately I've had a new go-to look, which I stick to for about a week, then switch it up at the beginning of the next week.

This one features the hands-down best sparkly product I have ever used - it's not too "in-your-face", so it's perfect for an everyday look.
