Sneak Peek: Stila Spring 2018 Launches + Swatches

On Wednesday I checked out a preview of what's to come to Murale in the spring of 2018.  Of course, I gravitated towards Stila, which is one of my fave brands.

Here's a look at what's coming up, with swatches!

Lip Swatch Saturday - Coloured Raine 'Marshmallow'

I recently made an order from Ricky's NYC, and grabbed a few liquid lipsticks from Coloured Raine.

I purchased 'Marshmallow' and 'Soul', and lo and behold...they look exactly the same.  Don't you hate when that happens?

Lip Swatch Saturday - Guerlain 'Spicy Burgundy'

In my last post, I talked about Dave Lackie's #GuerlainLover VIP follower dinner.

They kindly sent us home with some products to try out, so why not share them on the blog, starting with the KISS KISS Matte Lipstick in 'Spicy Burgundy'?

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.

Fave Neutral Liquid Lipsticks from Stila

I keep telling myself that I'm not allowed to get any more liquid lipsticks, yet here I am with too many to fit in my lipstick drawer.

A sizable chunk of my collection is Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks.  They have a great range of shades, as far as liquid lipsticks go they feel pretty comfortable, and they're very accessible - Stila is available at Sephora, Ulta, online, and even certain drugstores.

Lip Swatch Saturday - BITE Beauty 'Pomegranate'

I'm slowly becoming less and less afraid to rock a red lip.  It's an intimidating colour, but I'm warming up to it.

This red is the BITE Beauty High Pigment Pencil in 'Pomegranate'.

Face of the Day - Modern Renaissance

During a trip to Ulta a few months ago, I swatched the Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Modern Renaissance' palette - I finally understood the hype.

I immediately knew that it would be my next makeup purchase.

Face of the Day - Wedding Updo

I finally know what it truly means to say "Wedding season is upon us".

I just survived 3 straight weekends in a row of baby showers and weddings, and racked up about 10 hours of combined driving to attend them all.  Even though it was a busy time, of course I had to snap a few face shots, since I was getting glammed up anyway.  This is the look that I wore to wedding #2 of 3.

Stila 'Matte 'N Metal' Eye Shadow Palette - Review, Swatches, and Look

Next up from Stila's Glitter Underground Spring 2017 collection is their latest eyeshadow palette.

With Stila's mix of matte and metallic finishes, you can create a variety of glam looks.

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick 'Biscotti', 'Rubino', and 'Notte' - Review, Swatches, and Looks

In my New From Stila post a few weeks ago, you saw that Stila released five new shades of their Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks.

I have three of the new shades, and I'm ready to share!  Because sharing is caring.

New from Stila, Spring/Summer 2017

A few weeks ago I got to preview what's to come from a few brands, including one of my faves, Stila.

Stila makes my all-time favourite liquid liner, and their liquid lipstick in "Patina" is definitely a crowd pleaser, so whenever they come out with new products I'm always happy to check them out.

Wear Your Liquid Highlighter 3 Ways ft. Cover FX

It's no secret that I love to rock some glow.  But I truly believe that more is more when it comes to highlight.

Here are 3 different ways that you can rock your liquid highlighter and blind your enemies with all that glow.

Challenge Week: Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

I completed my very first challenge week! *pats self on back*  What better palette to use for my first challenge week than the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette?

I didn't get the Sweet Peach Palette when it was originally released, but boy, am I glad that I got my hands on it, during the re-release.

Face of the Day - Staff Meeting Makeup

While I don't wear makeup to my weekend job *gasp*, I had a staff meeting during the week, and figured that I'd use to the opportunity to paint my face.

It wasn't going full-on glam or anything, but when an opportunity to do my makeup arises, I'll take it!

Face of the Day - New Year's Eve 2016

Happy 2017!

This is the look I sported, while ringing in the new year.

Holiday Gift Guide 2016

It's the giftiest time of the year!  The holidays mean spending time with your loved ones, but they also mean presents-a-plenty.

Here are some of my top picks for gifts to give and receive, this holiday season.

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!

Face of the Day - Ease Into Fall

After going to work this past weekend, and realzing that I couldn't wear shorts, it officially hit me - summer is over, and I need to start preparing for fall.  While I'm not ready to say goodbye to the warm weather, I can always get excited for fall makeup.

I'm not quite ready to dive head-first into the bold vampy fall makeup, so this my "transitional" look.

Stila Stay All Day MATTE'ificent Lipstick in 'Brûlée', and 'Bisou' - Review, Swatches, and Look

Back in September I got to check out a preview for a bunch of brands that fall under the 'ACI' umbrella.  One of those brands was a brand that carries my holy-grail liquid eyeliner - Stila!

One of the things that Stila was launching was the Stila Stay All Day MATTE'ificent Lipsticks, which are part of the Glam Rock Fall 2016 Collection.  Today I have two of the twelve shades for you to take a look at.

Fall/Holiday 2016 Preview with Stila, St. Tropez, Cargo Cosmetics, Korres, Paul & Joe, and more!

Well, it's September.  Which means that it's only a matter of time before we see pumpkins, apples, and candy canes plastered as far as the eye can see.

But that also means new releases.  Did you say holiday gift sets?????  Here are some goodies to look out for this upcoming fall and holiday season.
