First Impressions: Glamoflauge


This is my first Hard Candy product that I've purchased and I must say that I'm not as pleased as I thought I would have been. I  love this concealer, it's creamy and matches me perfectly (the pencil was a good bonus to get too!) everything is great except for the fact that it creases quite a lot under my eyes if I do not use a powder to set it. I know that you should always use a powder but sometimes I’m quite lazy with my makeup and skip it! It's the right amount of brightness and it’s a super heavy coverage, which I don't necessarily need, but I know that there is a better concealer out there for me.

I know for sure this tube is going to last me ages but how do I find a concealer that doesn't crease, I'm so lost guys. What do you guys recommend?

MAC Archie's Girls


Fully aware I have been absent for a while! My apologies, I have just been so crazy busy with Uni, and as soon as Midterms ended, I'm not going to lie, I got lazy and forgot about blogging for a little bit! But I'm back, for now! :) 

Around Valentines day MAC came out with one of the BEST collections we have ever seen. The Archie's Girl collections was to die for. I have a weird obsession with MAC lipsticks so, of course, I had to get one. At first I was drawn to "Betty Bright" from the Betty line, and "Boyfriend Stealer" from the Veronica line. Unfortunately "Betty Bright" was sold out and "Boyfriend Stealer" was a bit too sheer and red for my linking. Soon after the lovely lady at MAC told me this, she showed me this color. Uhm...how much do I love this color? Too much!! Its a pinky-pale-lilac and its ah-mazing. 



The lady at MAC showed me how to Ombre this lipstick with a darker lip pencil, which you can somewhat see in the photo above. This color is truly amazing and I know for a fact that Summer time will love this color as much as I do!

What did you guys think of the collection? Did you pick anything up form it? :)

Korres Mascara

Let's talk lashes!! So #1, please ignore my gross eyebrows and #2, are you seeing how amazing this mascara looks? Korres is a brand I’m not quite familiar with. In fact, I've never used a product from this brand ever! I always go into Sephora thinking I want to purchase the Lip Butters, but not once did I notice the mascara. Turns out this mascara is better than I would have ever thought. For one, the wand is NOT plastic (I prefer bristle wands, it makes your lashes look more full) and secondly it gives amazing length and volume – super build-able and not clumpy at all. To compare to the Benefit ‘They're Real’, I only like this one a bit more because of the wand. I would probably purchase this in full size, so I insist you all try it out :) 





Any mascara's you're loving? xx

OOTD - casual


I have art classes on Wednesdays and last class this is what I wore. The only medium we use is charcoal so its a lot of black everywhere, I, as you can see, was stupid enough to wear a light colored cardigan. Thankfully, none of the charcoal got onto me! Surprising since i'm quite clumsy :p Anywho, this is what I wore.

Cardigan - I still have no idea where its from..They removed the store from the mall!..I think.. 

Shirt & Jeans - Forever 21....As usual.. :p 


I learned something in my Communications class that can describe this outfit... KISS, stands for 'keep it simple, stupid' That is exactly what this is, a simple casual outfit.

Are you wearing anything stylish today?

Want it: Lovestruck Floral Rush


Another perfume that I am dying to get my hands on! Vera Wang, girl, you have done it again! I smelled the original Lovestruck when it first was released and because Leighton Meester was the gal promoting this fragrance I hoped I loved it...That was not the case. THIS 2nd Lovestruck perfume had caught my eye at The Bay. I tend to wear more floral scents, and this is amazingness in a bottle!


Since I would never be able to describe the exact notes, I found them on a Website Here

The top accords include champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom. Pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia are located in the heart, while the base notes include ambergris, musk and cashmere wood.

Eye shadow look

I thought you guys would enjoy what look i've been wearing on my eyes lately so here it is in 4 easy steps!


* I used the original Naked palette and the Naked Basics so i'll be referring to those shadows

Steps:
1. I mixed Naked and Naked 2 and applied that all over my lids

2. I then mixed Buck and Faint with a fluffy blending brush and with a light hand, applied that to my outer corner (outer 'V') and half way thought my crease

3. I took Walk of Shame and Foxy and applied that as my inner corner highlight and applied it also to the very inner part of my lids

4. I then took a really dense eye shadow brush and blended all around the edges so that the harsh lines looked faded

Apply eyeliner and mascara and c'est fini!!

Try it out and leave a picture for me to see? :)

Review: Benefit They're Real Mascara

Benefit's latest mascara, "They're Real!" was introduced in Fall 2012. I was sceptical to try this mascara because a couple years ago I had tried the "Big Fatty Mascara" and I was not a hug fan of it. After hearing Youtubers such as Tiffany D rave about this mascara I knew I had to try it out. When I had purchased my Sephora Mascara Sampler in December this was one on the mascaras included, and I’m happy to say this product IS worth its hype!

It not only lengthens my lashes but give tons of volume!  You can get up to 2 coats without it looking clumpy, the staying power is amazing and it’s not super difficult to take off. The wand is plastic and the spikes wrap around the whole want, including the tip (look closely at the photo bellow). I definitely give this mascara an 8/10. Why not 10? I have a personal preference of non-plastic wands and I also like more lengthening mascara opposed to volumizing. I still think this mascara is pretty amazing and would totally purchase the full size!



Left eyelashes with They're Real Mascara, Right eyelashes are my natural lashes!
Note: In the pictures above I did not use an eyelash curler

Have you guys tried this mascara or any other from Benefit? What did you think?
