NOTD #4

Haaaiiiii!!

How is everyone? :) I'm doing well..not that anyone asked..haha!

But anyways, I'm back today with my 4th NOTD post!! :)

OPI Nail Polish in Every Month Is Oktoberfest 

I'm. In. Love. With. This. Color!! Aaah!! I can't stop staring at my nails! Haha, In the picture above, they look purple, but depending on the lighting, they can be burgundy. Which I like. We all know how big burgundy (or oxblood) is this season. It's probably my favorite Fall trend ever!! I'm obsessed! 

But yes, I got this on sale for $7.99 (canadian dollars) at a local drugstore and it's fantastic! I love OPI and they never disappoint me!

Here are some other photos with different lighting:

Aaaaalrihgt, I could go on and on about how much I loove this nail polish, but I'll stop myself here. So that no one dies of boredom! haha

As always, and sorry for sounding like a broken record in every post, thank you sososo much for following/commenting/reading :) 

I just reached 40 followers!! ^^ and i know that sounds like a joke to some people, but it's a very big accomplishment for me :) I never expected this blog to be a success!!

Review: NARS Blush in S-- Appeal

Hello beauty lovers :)

Today's post will be a full review of the NARS blush in the color "S-- Appeal".

This lovely product is a bit pricey. In Canada, it retails for $32.00. I know..that's a lot for blush..but in my opinion, it's worth it!

The pigmentation is just perfect..for my skin tone anyways. I can see how this product wouldn't be as visible on someone with darker skin, though. But the coverage is buildable, which is always a good thing.

It is a matte finish, which means there is no sparkles, glitter, shimmer, sheen, anything! I personally am a really big fan of this, since I like all my face makeup to be matte.

The color, however, gives your face a nice, glowy, healthy look, without the greasy look. The pinky peach color is very natural and pretty.

Like I said, this color may not be visible on girls with darker skin. Unless you pile it on, which I don't recommend! But if you have very pale skin like mine (porcelain or ivory), this color will look amazing on you!

The only 2 downsides I could think of for this product are the following:

1) The packaging can get really messy really quickly.
For example, if you apply your foundation and other face products with your fingers and you touch the packaging of these blushes after, you'll see your fingerprints all over.

2) If you pile too much on, it makes your face looks cakey.
Don't layer too much of this on your cheeks..If you're fair skinned, only 2 little swirls of this with your blush brush is enough for one cheek.

These downside don't really bother me too much, but I can see how some girls would be bothered by them. Other than that, I say this blush is perfect!

I know it's pricey, but there's a lot of product, so the chances of me actually finishing this product is very small. I think this will last me more years than it is supposed to be kept! And I really do not regret buying this! It's superb!

R a t i n g s :
Packaging: 7/10
Pigmentation: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
Texture: 10/10
Application: 9/10

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

I hope this was helpful! I have a lot of reviews planned for this month, so look out for those.

 Also, I'm thinking of doing a nail polish collection post. Let me know if that is something you would like to see :)

Thanks so much for following/commenting/noticing me!! *virtual hugs* :)

August Favorites/Empties

Hellooo! :)

YAAAY! August is finally coming to an end! I know a lot of you are probably hating me for saying this, but I don't really enjoy the heat all that much. I just can't wait to wear sweaters, and boots, and scarves! 

But yes, right, August favorites! Let's go!

Just a warning, I don't have a lot of things to show this month, everything I am showing is not new, just products I've been trying to use up since I was saving money for my "back-to-school" shopping (if ya know what i mean..haha!)

E M P T I E S:

#1

Revlon Colorstay in Top Coat

Best.Top.Coat.Ever! Well, from what I've tried anyways. It makes any nail polish super shiny and keeps the    polish from chipping for at least a week. Now, this isn't extra empty, but I can't use it anymore because the brush won't reach the product anymore and even if it would it's all gloopy and annoying to work with. I have already bought another one of these and used it this morning..I still love it as much! <3

#2:

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream Moisturizer

Alright, sooo, I have very weird skin..It gets very dry in the winter time, and somewhat oily in the summer time. I purchased this in February and it was perfect for dry skin. As summer came around, I wasn't sure it would still be any good for the oiliness of my skin, but it worked! I love this! I also repurchased it.

#3:

L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes

Yaaay! This is the first mascara I've actually finished! I usually just keep buying and buying new ones because I get tired of every one I try and just throw out them out. But this is just amazing! I know I did a review on the 24H power mascara and said that that was my favorite, but for some reason I just keep coming back to this one. It's just better. The wand doesn't pick up too much product, but it makes the best difference in the appearance of your lashes! They are seriously like 10x better looking! Js! haha..And of course I repurchased this too (:

F A V O R I T E S:

#1:

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

Alrighty, I bought this in June and hated it! But I tried it again in the beginning of August and I just love it now! It goes on very smoothly and makes your skin look and feel super soft. It has buildable coverage, which I like, and the color actually matches my skin color! (I'm very pale so this is a miracle!).  Also, it's not too pricey, I think I paid $10 (Canadian) for it. Ah-mazing!

#2:

L'Oréal Paris Color Infallible Eye Shadow in Iced Latté

The color of this eyeshadow is just soooo amazing! I bought this for myself on my birthday (in May) and I didn't use it all that much back then, but I've worn the hell out of this this past month! It lasts all day and makes your eyes pop! Gorgeous!

#3:

Revlon Colorstay Mineral Blush in 030 Roseberry

I just recently got into blush. I never used to wear it because I have naturally flushed cheeks..or at least I used to. I noticed earlier this month that my skin looked dull and noticed it was because the redness of my cheeks has finally decided to leave! Haha, it was annoying because if I wore blush, my cheeks just looked like they had exploded or something..which isn't a good look. So now that my face looks even paler, I've been wearing blush almost everyday. This one is really pretty and isn't too bright or too pale, just perfect. I got it for free with a foundation I had purchased in the beginning of the year and I had never even opened it. So basically it's a new product for me! Haha.

#4

Material Girl Heart Shirt

Okay I'm obsessed with this shirt! No but really, it's just so cute and it goes with everything, even my dark green colored jeggings! (nothing goes with those..well except this! haha). But even better, I only paid $10 for it! And even if it would have been like $40, I still would have gotten it!

#5:

Bath And Body Works Fragrance Mist in Country Chic

Omg this smells so cute! Haha, I loved it so much I went and bought the full sized too! Haha, I just like this a bit more because I can bring it in my purse with me. It's just a very girly, floraly scent that brightens up you and everyone around you (:

Kay, that's it for the beauty/fashion favorites, but I do have some other favorites to show you (:

Movie:

Ooooooh my god!!!! I LOOOVE this movie!! The acting was not the best, but it wasn't bad bad either. What I really liked about this movie is just the whole idea! So cool!! If you haven't watched this and you have netfilx, GO WATCH IT! It's so good! Plus, Justin Timberlake is a bonus! Hahaha, I'm sorry..he's just very good looking okay?

Songs:

I know I didn't write any song for Mayday Parade, but honestly I like every song they have out! They're very good!

Also, I know that small bump is about pregnancy, and I hate pregnancy (scarred from grade 9 science....hahahaha!!) but it's just a good beat!! 

Alrighty, that's everything for this month, but I promise I'll have like 10x more stuff in the September Favorites! 

Thanks so much for reading/commenting/following! You guys are the bestsss!!  (: *virtual hug*

Howdy Y'all! 

Hahaha, sorry, I felt like sounding like a hillbilly or something!

Soo, it's time for part two of my big haul!! Like I said in part one, I did not get to go to MAC..which is probably a good thing since I might have spent all my money there! lol

But anyways, I'll start now!

5. Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner in Black

Alrighty, that took some time to edit [the pictures]! Whew! Haha, but I won't get into detail for these products because I'm sure I'll have reviews for some of these and that most of them will be in my September favorites (as it is too late for them to be in August Favorites).

But anyways, thanks for reading as always,

and have a wonderful day!! ^^

USA Haul Part 1: Clothing

Oh hi there! I'm baaack!! (:

Sooo, I'm back from my family trip to the United States and I blew through my whole budget..and a bit more! Hahah, so I decided to slip this haul into two parts :clothing (1) and beauty/accessories (2). I did not buy everything that was on my wishlist because we ended up going to a different city so there wasn't a MAC or Free People and everything else I wanted..but there was a Lush and a Forever 21 so it's aaaall good! (: haha.

Anyways, let's begin! ^^

*I apologize for the bad quality..I forgot to wipe off the lens ): *

Aaaalrighty, that's all for the clothes, and I'll upload the beauty/accessories and everything else in a few days. I also have another NOTD and will probably have a review on a NYX cream blush.

Thank you so much for reading and following!! It seriously means sooo much to me and everyone who comments always make my days brighter and happier (:

NOTD #3

Hello hello!

The other day I was watching this video by MissJenFabulous on youtube, and really liked the feather nail she did. I don't have any nail art pens so this was trickier for me but I managed ok..I think! haha.

So this is how mine turned out. I personally like it because it is very messy, almost abstract. 

I cannot stop staring at my nails! I just love these!!

The colors I've used are Sally Hansen Xtreme... in Mint Sorbet, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue-Away, and the feathers are painted with Orly's Naughty (yet again!). I really like this color combination but you could choose any colors you feel like using! I will definitely try this with different colors next time (:

The design takes a bit of practice since it is a bit difficult if you're using a small paintbrush like I did. But I think it would be very easy with a  nail art pen. I just took the smallest paintbrush I have and drew a line, then tapped on little lines on each side. 

But overall, I reeeally like these and will definitely be doing this again in the future. I will probably do another NOTD if I decide to re-create this look in different colors (:

**Little Note: I will be gone from tomorrow (the 19th) to Wednesday (the 22th). I will probably not post anything while I'm there, but I will do a week in photos/vacation in photos when I get back and probably a haul since I know I'm going to shop till I drop! Hahah!

But until Thursday, I hope you all have a wonderful week and don't forget to smile and have fun (: 

(that was a run on sentence! haha)

OOTD #1

Howdy everyone and happy Wednesday ^^

So today I've been planning outfits to wear on my family trip to the US and found a little 5 minutes to take pictures of the outfit I am wearing today. I am not doing anything special today, just hanging around the house and washing clothes. But I always like to dress up no matter what so I thought I'd accessorize a little bit more than necessary and do an OOTD for today's post.

This is an overview of my outfit. I apologize for the mirror pictures..I don't have a tripod or anything to hold my camera for me so the mirror comes in very handy for me!

My top is a slight high-low sweater from H&M that used to belong to my sister so you probably can't find it in stores anymore. It's a very pretty navy color even though you can't really tell from the pictures. I tucked the front piece inside my pants so my belt could show.

My necklace is from H&M (again) and I bought this when I was in 8th grade (I am now going in 11th) so I highly doubt this exact one isn't available in store but you can find similar ones pretty much everywhere jewelry is sold! 

The smaller bracelets in the center are from a local store which I don't think I'm allowed to name so I won't. The two others on each ends are from Target. My nails are painted in Orly's "Naughty".

My colored jeggins are from Garage. They are the comfiest pants ever! I don't think they have Garage in the UK but if you're ever in the US or Canada, check out Garage's jeggins! They're so worth it!! 

My shoes are from Costa Blanca and they're very old..sorry! I feel like everything I'm showing is very old and cannot be bought anywhere anymore! haha

I bought this belt at globo shoes over March Break..or spring break, however you call it. I checked online if you could still buy them but didn't find them. It came in a pack of two: this one and a golden glittery one. The thing I like the most about these is that the glitter does not shed or go everywhere.

My hair is second day straight (which means ish wavy). I did a subtle snake braid and attached it with a flower clip from H&M, I did not find the exact same ones I bought but these are pretty similar. Mine have three small roses bunched in one, but the ones I found are just one big rose.

Well anyways, that's it for my first OOTD. I hope you've enjoyed it ^^

Have a nice day (:
