Worth The Hype

When I got this for Christmas I was so excited! There is so much hype about this product and now I can join in and share my excitement about it too. The best part is probably the eye shadow primer that comes with it. It's great cause it actually makes this eye shadow stay on all day it also makes some drugstore eye shadow I have stay on for so much longer! I haven't really mastered creating  looks with all the colours so so far I just apply one to two colours at a time, but it still looks good. Another plus is that it comes with an actual brush and not on of those weird sponge things in drugstore eye shadow pallets. 

So yes, it's totally worth all of the hype!

December in Instagram

Instagram (a photography app) makes pictures taken with an iPod (which are normally really bad quality) look super nice. These are moments from my December where I didn't bother to get out my camera but got out my iPod instead. 

(starting bottom left and going clockwise)

1. I applied studs to my iPod simply using a hot glue gun and suprisingly it turned out really well.

2. I got Urban Decay's Naked palette for Christmas which I was extremely excited about. The colours are super pigmented and the primer makes a huge difference.

3. I baked cherry pie for New Year's Eve, it was the best looking pie I ever made but I didn't actually like the filling very much. 

3. Finally organized my book shelf by colour coating the books. I found the idea in this video here. I absolutely adore the was it looks!

I hope you had a great December and hope you have a great 2013!

August Favorites

These have been my favourite products in the month of August. 

From left to right the Body Shops Aloe Eye Defence which has made putting on under eye concealer a lot easier and Urban Decay's eyeliner in Zero which I love applying to my water line to define my eyes. For lips I've been loving CoverGirls Outlast lip stain in the colour 400 I love this cause it last for a while but doesn't dry out my lips, another CoverGirl product but this one being a gloss/balm in the colour Sandstone this is a perfect creamy pink sparkly colour, and finally an EOS lip balm in Honey Suckle which great for lots of moisture. A face product that has been really useful is OXY's face cleansing pads which are great for removing oil from your face. That's it for my favourites hope you enjoyed.

Worth Every Penny

This is Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade Zero. I found that it does glide on easily which makes it easy to apply. The colour is also very intense which is great because you don't have to keep going back and re-applying the product. It also claims to be waterproof which seems to be true because I couldn't even get this off with makeup remover, I have to wait a few days while it faded before it came off! Overall it's definitely a great product and worth the price of $23!

Blue Eyeliner & Lots Of Shimmer

I got my makeup done at the Sephora around York Ville by Adi Lando. It was really cool and I gained some tips about applying makeup. My eyeshadow is a combination of three Urban Decay eye shadows, the eyeliner is also by Urban Decay, and the mascara is by Sephora's own brand. The blue eyeliner is definitely out of my comfort zone but it looks super cool and I love the eyeshadow, it's naturalish but is still noticeable.
