Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream: Review & Swatches!

Hey everyone,
So, lately a lot of well known brands, both high and low end, have been coming up with their own versions of BB creams. I find that with these Americanized BB creams, many companies have completely missed the concept of what a Beauty Balm cream is actually supposed to do, and unfortunately, Maybelline is no exception to that group.

Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara Review!

Hey everyone,
I don't usually buy full size mascaras, as I much prefer to buy sample sizes, which I know i'll actually use up.  But once I heard Maybelline's claim to have made a mascara which uses 40% less hard wax than other mascaras and with a gel-mousse formula leading to softer-to-the-touch lashes, I knew I had to try the Maybelline Mega Plush.

Summer Haul: Clothing and Accessories!!

Hey everyone,
I recently realized that the majority of my bikini tops didn't fit my..erm...upper half anymore.  So, I decided to go out and do a little summer bathing suit shopping!  Of course, being the little shopaholic I am, I couldn't resist picking up a few clothing and accessory items as well; and thought that I would show you what I purchased in a haul!

Beauty Rescue: Job Interview Beauty Tips

Source

 Hey everyone,
With summer beginning, I know that many of us are attempting to get summer jobs...myself included!  In your interview, it is important to convey a sense of professionalism, neatness, confidence and attention to detail in order to give your interviewer a good first impression.  All of this can be shown through your appearance.  Throughout my own and through others experience with job interviews, I've learned a few do's and don'ts when it comes to job interview beauty. Today I'm going to share with you a few of my tips for creating makeup and hair that looks natural yet polished in order to achieve interview success!

March Favourites!

 Hey Everyone,
It is time for my March favourites, and I can't believe how fast March flew by.  It may have been because of the March Break and how hectic everything has been for me lately but I just feel like the month just began and now it's already April.  It's absolutely crazy, and I know that April will fly by just as fast. Anyway!  This month for me was all about rediscovering things in my current makeup collection as well as just using the basics in the morning and really learning to use one makeup brush for multiple things instead of using like, 6 different brushes.  I'm usually able to take my time in the morning with my makeup but as I learned this month, time is a luxury that I just didn't have with all the assignments and other important stuff going on.  So, without further adieu and after that long rant, let's get started!

OOTD: Let The Good Times Roll...

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone,
Yesterday was such a beautiful day; warm (bordering hot, actually) and sunny and so different from the harsh wind and freezing temperatures i've become accustomed to.  Yesterday being the last weekday of March Break, I planned to hang out with a blogger friend of mine, and we thought, what better than go out for some ice cream?

By the way, one of my best friends is going through open heart surgery today, so it would mean the world to both myself and her family if you could keep her in your prayers.  Thank You♥  

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) :

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush - Peach Satin review

What it is: 

An air-whipped mousse blush designed to give a luminous and long lasting color on your cheeks.  It is designed to ensure that it will not clog pores. 

How to Apply 

It is recommended that you apply this using your fingertips.  Pat some of the product on your finger and apply to cheekbones.  Next, blend it out from your cheekbone to your temple.

For a more sanitary application, you can do the same thing using a small stippling brush.  A good option would be the MAC 188 small duo fibre brush, which fits perfectly into the pot.

For a strong lasting power I would recommend applying a little bit of powder blush over top.

For more color intensity, add more blush.
