NOTD: China Glaze Heart of Africa

Hey everyone,
Today's NOTD is a beautiful deep shimmery burgundy shade with an almost metallic finish.  The formulation of this polish is fantastic.  It's a thinner varnish, but it goes on completely opaque in one coat.  Not to mention, the lasting power is second to none.  Most China Glaze polishes last 3-4 days without chipping on me.  I took this picture 2 days after painting my nails with it.  I love this varnish for the fall and winter and love to wear it for special occasions as it just makes me feel more sophisticated and grown up!

NARS Eyeshadow Duo: Kalahari - Review + Swatches!

Hey everyone,
Today I wanted to share with you guys one of my favourite eyeshadow duos of all time, NARS Kalahari. I have a pretty wide range of neutral eye shadows in my collection, but after hearing so much about this duo and swatching it for myself, I knew that I had to have it.

MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow: Review + Swatches!

Hey everyone,
Satin Taupe is without a doubt one of MAC's most raved about eye shadows.  After swatching it in store, I knew that I had to have it, but ultimately decided not to purchase it.  I dropped a few very 'subtle' hints that I wanted it for Christmas, and ended up getting it. I am so glad I did, because Satin Taupe has very quickly become one of my all time favourite versatile eye shadow shades.

Pamper Yourself This Valentine's Day!

Hey Everyone,
  People tend to think that Valentine's Day is just for people in relationships; however, it doesn't matter whether you're single or not because Valentine's Day is about embracing and celebrating all love and appreciating the people in your life.  Over the years, I've come to realize that whether we have a date for Valentine's Day or not, we should try to show a little love for ourselves as well.  A great way to do that is through a little pampering and I'm going to show you a few ways to do that. You can have a girls night and do some of these things, do them to prepare for a date or just do them by yourself.  One thing's for sure though, whether you're single or in a relationship, this post should be useful for everyone.

 Hey everyone,
Jasper/Agate - which I got on sale at Sephora for a mere $14 CND - is a gorgeous neutral palette from Tarina Tarantino.  Out of all my eye shadow, I definitely use this little guy the most as the two shades are so versatile.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara Review

Hey everyone,

If I had to name my go-to brand for mascara, it would definitely be Maybelline.  With the exception of The Falsies, I have loved pretty much every mascara that they have come out with.  Whenever I see an advertisement for a new Maybelline mascara I cannot resist running out and purchasing it, and 'The Rocket Volum' Express' was definitely no exception.

MAC 'Flatter Me' Pearlmatte Face Powder: Review & Swatches! (Archie's Girls)

Hey everyone,
As I said in my previous post, considering the fact that Archie comics were a big part of my childhood, I was  ecstatic about this collection.  When I was looking at promo pics of the collection online, one of the first things that caught my eye was the pearlmatte face powders, particularly the precious hearts stamped all over them.  I mean, who wouldn't want this product?!

MAC Prom Princess: Review & Swatches! (Archie's Girls)

Hey everyone,
So, you have absolutely no idea how excited I was when I heard that MAC would be coming out with a Betty and Veronica makeup collection in February.  Every time I'd go to the grocery store with my mom when I was younger, I would make her buy me one or two of those little Archie comic digest books.  Not to mention, I never missed an episode of 'Archie's Weird Mysteries'.  This collection featured two beautiful  limited edition blush shades, but the one that I ultimately decided to pick up was Veronica's blush: Prom Princess, simply because it was unlike anything I had in my collection.

Hey everyone,
My favourite makeup item to purchase is a gorgeous bright lipstick.  Over the years, I've collected quite a collection of vibrant (and sometimes pretty expensive) lipsticks, yet I hardly reach for any of them.  In my opinion, if you're going to invest in a boldly coloured lipstick, you should be made aware of a few different option for how to wear it in order to get as much use out of them as possible!  In today's post, I'm going to show you 4 very different ways to wear 1 bright lipstick!
