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.

4 Ways to Wear 1 Lipstick!

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!

Where have I been?!?

This adorable little puppy is miss Lucky! I thought her adorableness might make your day! ;)

Hey everyone,

So, I realize that I have definitely been neglecting my blog the past few months.  I really just wanted to write this post to offer an apology to my readers.  I have been so busy with school work and personal issues these past few months, that I just haven't had time to write quality reviews and informative posts for you.  You may have noticed that my last few posts were hauls and tags, and that was just because I barely had time to actually sit down and write something of decent quality for you...and that isn't fair to you guys.  So, I instead decided to go on a little blogging break until I had a little more time to focus on writing quality reviews.  In these past couple months I have missed blogging SO much.  I'll get back into blogging very shortly, and my makeup collection has expanded quite a bit recently, so look out for tons of awesome reviews and NOTDs and maybe even a makeup collection post.  ;)

Thanks to everyone who has been leaving sweet comments on my older posts and e-mailing me with questions!  It means a ton to me!

Also, I've almost reached 200 followers and 100 000 pageviews, so thanks guys!!!!

Until next time,

Kels :)

Back To School Supplies Haul/Organization

 Hey everyone,
I'm starting my last year of high school (eeekk!!!) very shortly, and as much as I never really want to go back to school after 2 months of relaxation and fun, I always get so excited about back to school shopping! I went back to school shopping a few weeks ago and started organizing everything, so today I thought I would share with you the things I purchased and how I organized my planner, binder and pencil case!

J-Crew Haul ft. The Oh So Famous Pixie Pants!

 Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago I went in to J-Crew just to browse around and ended up purchasing a few items.  J-Crew has become my most recent obsession; I can always find so many things that I love there and am constantly looking through the website. Today I thought I would share with you the items that I purchased.  I'm going to let you all know right now that I took these pictures at night when my lighting was really bad, so the photo quality is not that great...actually, it's pretty bad. haha! ;)

Benefit Bella Bamba Blush: Review + Swatches!

Last month on a shopping trip to Sephora, I had the opportunity to receive a sample of Benefit Bella Bamba blush as a 100 pt. perk.  I had been lusting over this particular blush for months after swatching it in store, but could not fathom spending $36 on it.  So, I was thrilled at the chance to receive and test out a sample size.  I can now safely say that when this generous sample runs out, I will be returning to Sephora to buy a full size.

Hi guys, long time no talk! 
After the popularity that my 'prom updos' post got, I decided that I would continue this series with my favourite hair styles for the first day back to school. I'm a little late writing this post as a few of you have probably already started school, but these hair styles can definitely be worn throughout the school year as well!  I hope you enjoy! 

Bachelorette Style Guide: Emily Maynard!

Hey everyone,
If any of you have been keeping up with The Bachelorette, you will know that the last bachelorette was the gorgeous Emily Maynard.  Her season finished a few weeks ago, and personally, I'm really happy about her choosing Jef (with one f)!   While watching the season, I developed a love for Emily's style.  It was very girly yet laid back with a little country twist here and there.  This season, Emily seemed to favour feminine dresses, super high heels, scarves and of course, lots of sparkle!  As well as, boots, blazers and the occasional leather jacket.  So, today I wanted to share with you a few Emily inspired outfits I put together from various episodes...enjoy!

NOTD: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

Hey everyone,
Today's NOTD is a long time favourite of mine, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender.  This comes from the Hong Kong 2010 collection, and is actually more of a lilac colour rather than lavender.  Lucky Lucky Lavender is a creme finish with absolutely no shimmer, and is opaque in 2-3 coats.
You can definitely get away with only applying 2 coats, however, this varnish tends to be really streaky, so I like to apply 3 for maximum opacity.  

Would you wear it?
