Hat's off an #ootd

Hat & Boots, Forever 21; Sweater, H&M; Pants, Loft

Before I got majorly sick this was a cute little outfit I wore to uni. Really happy with my hat purchase from Forever 21. I also saw a cute navy one at Aldo and I'm not going to lie, I was very tempted.

where am I now an #ootd

Harlowe and Graham Top, Coach bag, XXI sunnies, Boots from Hudson's Bay (don't remember the actual brand)

So while shopping for a few specific things on the weekend I hadn't realized that it's been a long time since I've been to a mall. This is due to the $damage$ I did in New York in May (read about it here). And while shopping, I graced a couple very sweet compliments. The lady at Aldo liked my top, A LOT, the lady at Sephora told me she loved my eyeliner and the woman working the the dugstore told me she liked my bold lip color...Uhm thank you kinda people who still exist in this world <33
It really is about the little things in life.

Anyhow, this is what I wore. How are you all doing?

When it rains, it pours an #ootd

A very old school ootd , if you look back on last year I used to do all my OOTD posts like this! Just to change it up here is what I wore on the weekend.

I usually don't mind the rain. It actually rains a lot where I live and summer rain I especially love because although I love the sun, I'm not such a big fan of the heat. Having some rain was nice...Even if it is in July..And I missed wearing black. Duh

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

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? :)

Naked Basics First Impression

SO, I did it. I bought it! I was debating whether to get the Naked 2 or Basics. I ended up buying this one because, A. I still have plenty of my warm shimmery Naked palette left and B. The basics was cheaper. Now, you could probably go to another (million) blogs with amazing lighting and swatches but here are my horrid swatches anyways :)

The 1st thing I really really like how I don't own any of these colors! Haha All the colors are smooth and velvety, almost like butter. Seriously amazing quality guys! The color I will probably get the most wear out of i'm guessing would be Tease. It's similar to Buck from the original Naked palette but a bit cooler. This palette in general, and in my opinion are cooler tones just as the Naked 2 are. I still love all these colors regardless of warm or cool tones.

I believe this palette was 32$ (Canadian of course) And I think it was a total bang for my buck! (Get it? Buck? like the color I like the most? Harharhar) Especially since I love any Matte finish makeup.

Do you think it's work the money to buy the Basics if you have the original or the 2nd? What do you think about it in general?
