Lip Swatch Saturday - theBalm 'Charming'

Every year theBalm does a 50% off deal with proceeds going to charity.  I placed my order this year (new-ness to come soon!), and it reminded me that I have one of theBalm's liquid lipsticks hiding in my lipstick storage.

This is theBalm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long-Lasting Liquid Lipstick in 'Charming'.

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.

Face of the Day - Trust Issues

I recently became the proud owner of the Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in 'Trust Issues'.  I've always been a fan of the colour, but have owned very similar shades (NYX Lip Suede in 'Vintage'), so I held off on owning the ABH one.  Until now, that is.  And after wearing it, I thought to myself "WHYYYYYY did I wait so long?".

Here's the look I sported with the liquid lippie that myself and my friend Laura personally thanked Anastasia Soare for making (at the ABH meet & greet HERE).

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.

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!

Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer Shimmering Sculpting Powder '001' - Review Swatches

Ever since Dior released their Spring 2016 Glowing Gardens collection, I had been fawning over their highlighter.  I was really hoping that they would continue including highlighting powders in the future collections.  Well, my wish came true!

This is the Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer Shimmering Sculpting Powder in '001' from the Fall 2016 Skyline Collection.

Summer Friendly Face Products

Right now, I think that we're in the 'honeymoon phase' of summer.  You know - that time where it's comfortable and warm, but with a nice breeze.  Then BAM.  The honeymoon is over, and it's August, and a million degrees, and you feel like your face is melting off.  So today I'm sharing some of my favourite products to wear in the summer, which help keep my face in one piece.

Maybe they're long-lasting, maybe they have skin benefits, but put them together and they make for a summer-proof look.

April Faves 2016

May is here, which means that I'm looking back at my most-used products from the past month.  Here are some of my top picks.

Can't wait to see what makeup May 2016 will bring!

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.

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: 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 - 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.
