Makeup Looks + First Impressions: My Almay Face

September 23, 2019 No Comments

So I’m not sure if it’s just me, but Almay has been changing up their look. Early on in my makeup journey, I had a couple of things from Almay, but to tell you the truth, they kind of blend in with all the other drugstore brands. From their recent look and feel, you can tell they are trying to differentiate themselves as ‘cleaner and hypoallergenic’. They’ve always been sort of about this, but with the recent clean beauty trends, they are definitely putting that more front and centre. Today I have a few new-to-me/ newish-to-me products from Almay that I put together into a look. Can’t wait to show you my thoughts!

Makeup Looks: My Fav Natural Lip Combo of the Moment

August 5, 2019 No Comments

Hi there! I’ve been noticing that I’ve been wanting to change up my lip game recently, and funny enough, for me that means going more natural. I am not one to shy away from colours or brights, but lately I’ve been feeling something softer lately. There are three products that I’ve been using recently in combination that have been doing it for me, so I thought I would share!

Makeup Look: Stila Shimmer, Glitter and Glow!

October 6, 2018 No Comments

Stila is a brand that I feel like I haven’t used in forever. I’ve been meaning to try the Stila Liquid Eyeshadows (mostly because they look so good on Chelle) and Kitten is one of my favourite colours from a brand. I just haven’t picked up anything from them recently! I have a few new-to-me Stila items that I put together in a look. I have mini reviews on them too, so let’s get into it!

Pokemon Go Team Makeup Looks

August 17, 2016 18 Comments

So unless you’ve been under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard of Pokemon Go. It’s the AR, geolocation game based on the popular Pokemon franchise that is taking the world by storm. I’ve been a huge fan of the Pokemon series already so this Pokemon game for mobile devices has been interesting! I’ve been definitely playing but not quite addicted. 😉 I’m more excited for the new Sun and Moon games coming out soon! Anyways, in the Pokemon Go games once you reach level 5, you get the choice between 3 teams: Instinct (Yellow, Zapdos), Mystic (Blue, Articuno), and Valor (Red, Moltres). I was inspired by these 3 teams and their colours and decided to do 3 different makeup looks representing them!

Experiments with my Vice 4

So qualifier here, I am NO makeup artist. Even though my blog name should profess that quite clearly, I thought I would mention again. I do however love to play around with makeup, as I know a lot of us do. If you read my What I Got for Christmas post this year, you’ll have seen that I got a Vice 4 for Christmas. I’ve been talking about this palette for months, so I was extremely happy to play around with it. This palette has been getting a lot of hate compared to older Vice palettes, but you know what? I don’t even care. I really really like this palette just because most of the colours I was really drawn to. Even though I am no makeup artist, I thought I would share some of the eye looks I created!
