MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Face Color 'B208' and 'H102' - Review, Swatches, and Look

When I first started using makeup, MAKE UP FOR EVER used to feel like one of those brands that was far too professional for my newbie brain to understand.

But in the last 2 years, MAKE UP FOR EVER has won my heart, by making products that are easy to use, and easy to know how to use - no intimidating packaging that requires crazy instructions, just no frills makeup.

IMATS Toronto 2017 - Review, Prices/Discounts & Vlog

IMATS Toronto kinda snuck up on us this year, didn't it?

I remember in 2016 it happened in October, but this year it happened in August - but silver lining: no having to lug around a heavy coat!

Benefit 'Dandelion Twinkle' Highlighter - Review, Swatches, and Look

A visit from the makeup fairy ended with me becoming the proud owner of a little treasure box.

Meet the Benefit 'Dandelion Twinkle' highlighter.

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.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation - Review, Swatches, Before & After + #ColorStayAllDay Event, Hosted by Gigi Gorgeous

This summer Revlon threw a bash highlighting some of their favourite products.

The event featured all kinds of products; eyeshadow, nail polish, lipsticks, and the product that I'm always on the hunt for.....foundations!

Tarte Clay Stick Foundation in 'Fair Neutral' - Review, Comparison Swatches, Before & After

Recently Tarte released their version of a stick foundation.

It comes in 12 shades, and has a big selection for the lighter shades, which was music to my ears, seeing how it's not uncommon for a brand's lightest shade to still be a bad shade match for me.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liquid Matte - Review, Swatches, and Looks

YES!  I've been waiting for the day that MAKE UP FOR EVER joined the liquid lipstick game, and today is that day.

MAKE UP FOR EVER's recent launches have been fantastic (I've been especially fond of the Artist Rouge Lipsticks - review HERE and HERE).  But how do their liquid lipsticks compare?

MAKE UP FOR EVER High Precision Lip Pencil - Review, Swatches, Looks

Lip liner used to never be a part of my beauty regime.  I used to think that it was for people who couldn't paint within the lines, when applying lipstick.  Well, not only did I find that I had a hard time staying within my lip lines, but I also found that I needed lip liner to give my lipstick something to cling to.

Maybe MAKE UP FOR EVER can help in my quest to have a clean lip look.  They have released twelve lip liners, that fall into three families:  nude, pink, and red.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Light Fusion #01 - Review, Swatches, Look, and Comparison

Welcome to the glow game, MAKE UP FOR EVER.  I've been waiting for you!

MAKE UP FOR EVER has just come out with two highlighters to add to their lineup.  For some reason, I'm pretty surprised that this hadn't happened sooner, but I'll welcome them to the family with open arms.

Glam To Ghoul - Darling Deer

This year, MAKE UP FOR EVER has partnered with Sephora Canada on a Halloween campaign called "Glam To Ghoul", which features six trendy and achievable Halloween looks.

This is my attempt at the 'Darling Deer' look.  I hope you *fawn* over it!

IMATS Toronto 2016 - Pictures, Prices, Haul, and Planning for IMATS 2017: Going in the Morning VS. Afternoon

It feels like IMATS New York was ages ago!  But here we are, 6 months later, with another IMATS is upon us.

This time I went on the Saturday afternoon, compared to my first IMATS, where I woke up at the crack of dawn to get into the convention first thing.  

MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation 'Y215', 'R240' - Review, Swatches, Before & After

MAKE UP FOR EVER has been killing the makeup game lately.  The Aqua XL liners (review HERE), and the Artist Rouge lipsticks (Reviews HERE and HERE) were big hits in my book.

But does the new Water Blend foundation live up to its predecessors?

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipstick 'M101', 'C211' - Review, Swatches, and Look

I'm back with more Artist Rouge lipsticks from MAKE UP FOR EVER.

I reviewed two colours a few weeks ago (HERE), and was very happy with the product as a whole, so I'm glad that I got my claws on two more colours.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipstick 'C506', 'C105' - Review and Swatches

After attending the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipstick launch, I knew that I had to get my hands on those beautiful lippies.

Let's take a look!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipstick Launch

MAKE UP FOR EVER is about to release their line of Artist Rouge lipsticks in-store at Sephora, so of course, they had to celebrate in style.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Eye Pencil - Review and Swatches

I've been seeing these new eyeliners EVERYWHERE, lately.  On the internet, at Sephora, on my friends.  I saw them even more from everybody's Generation Beauty hauls (Is this the "FOMO" that people talk about?).

I've heard such good things about this collection, but I'm a difficult customer when it comes to eyeliner.

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.
