Beauty Haul

So who doesn't love shopping....in my mind I'm always excited to purchase something that's new or trending makeup wise, but not all the time you are happy with what the products might turn out to be, so I must admit three of the products mentioned in the video below I did ended up returning and they are:
1) Nars Contour/Blush in Paloma
Reason: this contour blush is pretty for someone who is a lot fairer than me, it didn't have much pay off on my skin which in turn made it appear too muddy looking, it was also a bit too matte which sort of came of as dry...

2) Urban Decay Illuminated
Reason: this is a face and body powder but for some reason I definitely wasn't going to put that on my face because the shimmer flecks was way too big to have all that shimmer happening on your face and I'm not a person to be adding extra shimmer products on my neck or chest area...way too much shimmer flecks...

3) Urban Decay On The Run palette
Reason: overall this is a pretty and simple palette to have especially if you're on the run but for me it did nothing, the eye shadows were pretty basic, it consisted of 2 matte and 3 shimmer eye shadows and for a daytime look I don't think we need to be all shimmery.

Imats Haul 2014

So this was my first experience at Imats Toronto, I expected it to be all that and a cup of tea but it just wasn't for me but nonetheless I still had a good experience shopping for the items that I wouldn't normally get at stores like Sephora or I didn't have to shop online and pay those crazy shipping fees...but I still had to pay that $50 fee to get in...so is it worth it...not really....but would I attend this event again....sure will if I can meet up some of the youtubers who are located in GTA...so here's my video on the things I picked up at Imats Toronto....

L'Oreal Intenza Butterfly Mascara || Review / First Impression

Mascaras are one product that I can't seem to live without...I can live without certain makeup products but mascara isn't one of them, so when L'Oreal came out with their second version of the butterfly mascara you bet I was on that wagon. The company promised that with this mascara you can achieve the winged out effect on the outer edges of your eye lashes but sorry to say that I didn't achieve that winged out effect...even though I tried....I can definitely say I did get that winged out lashes with the first version but not with this one. Overall this mascara is still good because I did get a lot of volume on my lashes but just not what they promised....that's why on a scale of 1 to 10 I rated this mascara a 6.5 and I rated the original a 9.

Haul | Sephora / Victoria Secret / Chapters / Wal-Mart

Hi guys so I'm finally back with another video but this time it's a Haul....I like shopping for new items but I hate paying for them....does anyone ever feel like that...or is it just me....This haul is a collective haul, I've been gone for about 6 months and while I was busy doing other things I was also shopping a little...and traveling, but now I really hope to get back to doing what I really love...MAKEUP...

So when I found out that Michelle Phan is coming out with a book I was totally excited....couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I went on a book hunt just to find this book...my local Indigo book store didn't have it but the sales associate told me that they have 16 copies of it at Chapters, so I rushed down there just to purchase my copy. So I finally got mines but when I started to read its contents I was a bit disappointed. I must say at the beginning of it she gave us a little insight of her years growing up as a child and then into a teenager but then when she started talking about makeup it was basically everything that she talked about in her past youtube videos....so overall I technically didn't need this book at all, but nonetheless it's a good book just to keep....
On to my beauty products.... Victoria Secret recently came out with their Shampoo and Conditioner line which I must say is a very good line, at my Victoria Secret store they had three sets of shampoos and conditioners 1-Ultra Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner 2-Major Shine Shampoo and Conditioner 3-Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner...I decided just to mix them up and purchase not the sets but one from each....I totally love the smell of these products...
So Urban Decay did it again...love their new VICE3 palette, I must admit I do not own the first Vice palette but I do own the VICE2 and now the VICE3...can't wait to start playing with these colors.      




Anyway guys I hope you really enjoyed my haul video and I hope to see you soon in my next video.

Beauty Haul

Hi all, so this is my very first beauty haul, not too sure I'm a fan of doing it , only because it might come off the wrong way to some people, and the last thing I want to do is offend anyone even though I don't know them (well at least not yet). I personally enjoy viewing the hauls videos that other people posts but what I noticed is a lot of them would have a little disclaimer at the beginning. As much as a lot of people do enjoy these types of videos there are a lot of other people who do not, and they spew their negativity on the person who spent their time and effort trying to produce these videos for the ones who do enjoy it. Anyway as I mentioned I did a little shopping but I had to actually save up all my items before I can use them, which was a bit hard because when you buy something you would want to use it right away. So I shopped at Sephora, I went there for just two particular items but left with four, which normally happens to me a lot. I did some online shopping (for which I just couldn't resist) from The Shopping Channel. I bought a few items from the IT Cosmetics line. I also shopped online from Sigma, I finally made up my mind on purchasing the Brush Cleaning Spa Gloves after months of debating with myself and I also purchased the eye shadow base in Unveil. I hope you all do enjoy my blog and my videos......bye for now....

IT Cosmetics No-Tug Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in
Black and Brown


These gel eye liner is exactly what they said it would be, No-Tug, Waterproof, it goes on so soft  and it actually last a really long time

Sigma Eye Shadow base in Unveil



It Cosmetics Vitality Gloss Stain

Top: Inspiring Red, Middle: Sweet Rose, Bottom: Naturally Flushed
 
These Lip Gloss Stains are absolutely beautiful, the first two has some shimmer that would reflect light and the naturally flushed is another beautiful shade it's more on the nude side, all three are gorgeous and they actually do work like a stain, I had the pleasure of trying it out and when I removed it after a while my lips did have that natural stain, gorgeous and beautiful.

Nars Eye Shadow in Galapagos

It's a natural deep brown with some serious flecks of gold
Josie Maran 100% pure Argan Oil Light
Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil
 
I haven't yet tried these oils out. Presently I'm using one called Rose Hip Seed Oil , it's also a Serum, I'm quite content with that one for now but I just wanted to test these ones out to see what all the hype was about , so I can't say anything on these two products.

L'Occitane Dry Skin Foot Cream

Now for this foot cream I just can't say enough things about it. It's been years and years I've been on the hunt for a very good foot cream and finally I discovered this one. I was in love with one that was made by Olay but then they eventually discontinued it, so I was lost for quite a while looking for one that would actually help with my dry cracked heel, so I did my research online and came up with 10 best Foot Creams and this one was on that list but there was another one it's by Burt's Bees and I tried that one first and was totally not happy , this on the other hand I would recommend this one to anyone with dry cracked heels (like mines).

IT Cosmetics Your Skin but Better Skin 5 pc Set
it consist of:
 Feel the Moment Anti-Aging Ultra Hydrating Sensory Awakening Primer Serum
Celebration Foundation Illumination
Dual Ended Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer
Hello Light Brightner
Foundation Brush
Fan Brush

Illamasqua Blush Up Brush
