Today's Makeup | 12.13.14

For my first day of the holiday break I decided to go the soft pink/romantic route for my makeup. Thank goodness my exams are all over! I can finally relax and take some time for myself instead of being surrounded by highlighters and textbooks.

This makeup is a look I really enjoy and is something that I can quickly do in less then 10 minutes if I'm in a rush, like I have been today! This gal has to get to work!

I've been really loving the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in the shade Porcelain for an everyday foundation. It provides a light coverage and still allows my skin to shine through - it's a winner in my books! I've then been setting my foundation with the Laura Mercier Transplant Powder, which has been okaaaay, I'm not hooked yet. I find when I itch a spot on my face and then look at my finger tip I can see makeup...which doesn't happen when I don't use this powder!

To bronze my skin I use the Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in the shade Antigua. I'm loving this blushing-bronzer. The pinky shade of it really looks very natural on my fair skin and it does provide a nice bronze.

On my eyes I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette - I've been so hooked on my MAC palette I haven't used this beauty much recently! My go-to eye look is using Strange, Limit, and Nooner. A simple matte everyday eye that I love! I did apply the MAC Black Track Fluidline and did a small wing, but I forgot to add it in the picture! On my lashes I've been using the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara and it's been giving me lots of length and volume!

To finish off my soft pink/romantic makeup look I used the YSL Lipstick in the shade Nude Beige (also called #1 but lipsticks without names are boring!). This is a lipstick I don't wear enough, especially for the price! It's very similar to MAC's Creme Cup, but I prefer the soft & buttery-ness of the YSL one a lot more.

And that's everything! What makeup did you wear today?

Today's Makeup | Thanksgiving | 10.12.14

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers!

It has been a hot minute since my last post but I was feeling really uninspired and I didn't want to force a post or a video when I wasn't 100% there. I also just had 3 midterms last week which I was studying for all last week and the week before. Now I have a week of o exams until my next two midterms. School rocks!

I went for a simple makeup look for tonight's big dinner as I think natural beauty is very important to shine through!

The foundation I'm wearing today is a new purchase of mine - the CoverGirl Ready, Set, Georgous foundation in the shade 105. It's a very natural looking foundation with light-medium coverage and has a really nice skin like finish. For my blush I went with Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed, a stunning rosy neutral. On my eyes I reached for my trusty Urban Decay Naked palette. I knew I wanted something very minimal so I chose the shades Virgin, Naked, and Buck. Virgin in the inner corner and on my lid, Naked in my crease, and Buck in my outer corner. I lined my top lash line with MAC Black Track Fluidline and added a small flick. I got new glasses yesterday (you can see them on instagram HERE) and I think the eyeliner flick looks so pretty with them on! For mascara I used the L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara, and on my lips I used my favourite lippy by MAC in the shade Syrup.

What makeup did you wear today? Happy Thanksgiving!

Today's Makeup | The Video

A few days ago I uploaded a video to YouTube for the first time in ages! As you can tell by my blog and channel "get ready with me" type videos/posts are my favourite! They're so casual and allow you to be yourself. I'm trying to grow my channel by uploading more. I already have another video edited and ready to go! I've written down in my journal a few video ideas that I want to make, and if you have any suggestions I would love to know!

Today's Makeup | 09.05.14

As I had tons of extra time getting ready for my pathophysiology class this morning I wanted to take advange and squeeze in a blog photo taking session! 

For my foundation I used my favourite drugstore foundation, CoverGirl and Olay 2-in-1 Tone Rehab Serum Foundation. Long name but this foundation gives me such beautiful coverage with a satin finish that continues to look great throughout the day. 

For my eyeshadow I used MAC Jest (which has fast become one of my firm favourites) all over my lids, Blanc Type on my brow bone and inner corner, and Satin Taupe in my crease and outer V. I love the look Jest & Satin Taupe give me and they just pair so well together! I've also really been loving the shade Mulch from my mos recent MAC Haul. I then applied my Lancôme brown Kohl Eyeliner  on my water line and applied an even coating of L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara! 

For my eyebrows I used a new product of mine, this is the Eyeko Brow Liner which comes in a universal shade and WOW I'm in love! It's a felt tip and allows you to really mimic the look of real hairs. Definitely check out your local Sephora to see if you can pick one up! 

Lastly, for my blush I applied Tarte's blush in the shade Exposed to my cheek bones. I forgot how much I loved this rosy neutral toned blush. It really is great for sculpting and giving some dimension!
