February Wishlist 2013!

February Wishlist by misscouture17 featuring a nike sports bra

Hey everyone,

I haven't done a wishlist in the absolute longest time, so I thought that today I would show you what I've been lusting for this month!

July Favourites 2012 ♥

Hey everyone,
Well, it's that time of month again...time for my monthly favourites post!  I cannot believe how fast the month of July flew by.  It was a pretty great month, of course, seeing as I didn't have to deal with exams and all the stresses of school. However, it did fly by, which is pretty unfortunate.   I've been savoring each month as it comes, and although I'm kind of excited to begin my last year of high school, I just don't want summer to end.  This month I discovered a few new beauty, accessory, drink and song favourites, so I'm just going to jump right into everything...

An Impromptu Monday Wishlist!

Hey everyone,

So, today I have a very out of the blue, casual monday morning wishlist to share with you guys.  This is just a small collection of items I've been totally craving for the past few months, and may or may not be drooling over as I write this post, that I just can't find it in me to splurge on!

Prom Look: Chic & Girly

Prom Look: Chic and Girly by misscouture17 featuring a christian dior perfume

Hey everyone, 

Today's prom post is based on the dress that could have been.  Not for me, but for one of my really good friends.  She went out to purchase a prom dress last week, and came across this stunning BCBG sequined cocktail dress. She decided to get a different dress (which looks absolutely beautiful on her, I couldn't picture her in a better dress!) so i thought i would create a girly and chic look based on the little beauty she left behind.  

NARS Place Vendôme Larger than Life Lipgloss Review and Swatches

Hey everyone,
I find that quality opaque lip glosses are very hard to come by.  Brands claim to have come out with quality full coverage lip glosses, but personally, i always seem to end up disappointed.  That is, until the NARS Larger Than Life lip glosses were released.  I saw these in Sephora one day, and immediately had my eyes set on Place Vendôme.  After looking up swatches online, and swatching it for myself it went on my Christmas list, and I was so happy to receive it.

What's In My Everyday Makeup Bag 2012

Hey Everyone,
 I love reading posts that other people write about what they keep in their makeup bag.  I've always thought it interesting to see what makeup other bloggers use daily, and it helps me to discover new products.  I go through phases with my makeup where i'll switch up my makeup and foundation routine on a weekly or even daily basis, therefore there's no need for an every day makeup bag.  Lately, i've found products and a routine that I really like, so i've started using a makeup bag for my favourite products!  Here is what I keep in my every day makeup bag (I've also included links for where you can buy each product) :

Revlon Lip Butters: NARS Roman Holiday Dupe

Hey Everyone!
I recently went out and purchased 3 of the Revlon lip butters and so far I have been very impressed with them.  I will be doing a comparison between these and the Dior Addict lipsticks, and also a full review after i've used them a little more but today's post is going to be about a Revlon dupe I stumbled across for the gorgeous NARS Roman Holiday and a comparison between the two.  

NARS Roman Holiday lipstick: Review and Swatches!

Hey everyone!
The NARS obsession continues with today's featured product, a lipstick in the shade Roman Holiday.  NARS lipsticks are pretty expensive, each lipstick costs $24 US and $30 CND; however, I fully believe that a lot of the colours are worth the hefty price tag, and Roman Holiday is no exception to that!

Sephora Makeup Studio Blockbuster review and swatches!

Hey everyone!
I was planning on saving this post for February, but due to popular demand, this will be my last post until February.  As mentioned in a previous post, i purchased the Sephora brand makeup studio blockbuster palette for my sister for Christmas.  Well, she is in LOVE with it, as in, she's been using it every day and loves everything about it.  So today, i'll be swatching the entire palette for you guys!  There are 53 pictures so obviously this is going to one of my longer posts,  So let's just get right into it.

Get The Look: Kristen Stewart - chic and glamorous

Hey Everyone!
If there's one celebrity I am not a fan of, it's K Stew; however, I love her makeup look in this picture, it's very glamorous and dramatic. so today's get the look is going for a look along these lines, including dramatic brows and eyes and a subtle pinky-nude lip.

Christmas List 2011!

Hey everyone!
So, a few days ago I wrote my December wish list, and you all asked to see my Christmas list for this year.  I didn't need anything too big, so I mainly asked for small things, but I hope this post helps all of you trying to make up your own Christmas lists!

December Wishlist

November 2011 Wishlist

GTL: Nicki Minaj

Hey Everyone!
Today's 'Get the Look' is for the iconic Nicki Minaj.  I got the idea to do this particular GTL today when my friend mentioned that they intended to go as Nicki Minaj for Halloween.  The look we're going for today is basically the one pictured below, which includes bright fun eyes, a bubble gum pink cheek, and bright fuchsia lips.  So let's get started!

October Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!  Lately, all of my favorite stores and brands have been coming out with some pretty awesome things, and my wish list is growing longer, and longer.  Today I thought I would share said wish list with you all!

Black Glitter Toms

For the longest time I have been contemplating buying these shoes.  I love all things sparkly, and since they're simple and black the glitter doesn't look really tacky.  Toms are the perfect casual shoe for school, a casual outing, and for Autumn.  Plus, they're super duper cute with a cherry on top. ;)

NARS Dolce Vita blush: review and swatches!

Hey Everyone!
Ever since the first moment I swatched it on my hand at my local Sephora, I've been in love with NARS Dolce Vita blush.  The color, pigmentation, and over all finish make it the perfect every day Autumn blush color, and has quickly become a staple blush in my collection.

NARS Danmari All About Cheeks Palette - over view and dimensions

Via Sephora

Hey Everyone!
If you have read my blog from the beginning, then you know that I have a huge obsession with all things NARS cosmetics, especially their range of blushes.  Well, NARS came out with a new palette today called the Danmari All About Cheeks palette, and trust me when i say that this is a long time coming, and i am super excited about it!

This palette comes with 4 blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer.  From left to right the shades are:
     TOP:
Hungry Heart highlighter (a gold ivory)
Super Orgasm (a beautiful peach with lots of gold glitter)
Desire (a fun cotton candy pink)
     BOTTOM:
Casino bronzer (a dark brown with gold shimmer)
Orgasm (peachy pink with gold shimmer)
Sin (berry with gold shimmer) - The PERFECT Fall blush!

Each blush 'pot' is the size of a single NARS eye shadow, but deeper so you get more product than you do with the single eye shadows.  

This palette retails for $65 US, and $70 CND.  Although that might look kind of expensive, each blush is .12 OZ, and the single blushes are .16 OZ, this means that you're getting 6 blushes 3/4 the weight of a regular blush for $65-70!  Whether you're a makeup artist, or blush enthusiast such as myself this is the perfect palette for you as it contains blushes for every occasion, PLUS a gorgeous bronzer and highlighter.

This palette has been released just in time for the holiday season, but is limited edition so pick up yours quickly as these are sure to sell out fast, and add it to your holiday wish list.

What do you think of this palette?  Let me know below.
