When my empties bag gets full, it’s time to do a post! I’ll jump right in:
First Impressions: Kat Von D Everlasting Glimmer Veil
Hi folks! I have a quick first impression of the new Kat Von D Glimmer Veils which were recently released online at Sephora. These puppies aren’t in store yet and will be released at Sephora on September 8. At IMATS last weekend (recap and haul can be found here), I managed to get my hands on two of the colours Rocker (described as a copper with gold glimmer) and Razzle (magenta with pink glitter).
Event Recap: IMATS Toronto 2017 Tips + Haul
Hi friends! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I had the pleasure of attending the IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) in Toronto and had a wonderful time as always. This isn’t my first time at IMATS (you can check out my 2015 IMATS post here) so there are some definite tips I can offer up someone thinking of joining in on the fun! I also have a haul of all the items I decided pick up at this year’s show!
Brand Overview: Hard Candy SS17 Collection Hits and Misses
Hi folks! Hard Candy is a pretty new brand to me, but I’ve seen the MASSIVE hype over the years about their Glamoflauge Concealer. I’ve never tried it, but it’s supposed to be amazing! I was lucky enough to try some of their items in the Spring Summer 17 collection and thought I would share my thoughts. Some items are great, and others miss their mark a bit.
Review: Esqido Mink Lashes and Companion Glue
Hello folks! It’s been a bit but I’m back! Work’s been busy and then I was on vacation (which I hope to have a post up soon about). Anyways, today I have a review of Esqido Mink Lashes and their companion lash glue.
Let me just say my lashes ain’t cute. They are thin, point straight down and don’t hold mascara. A trifecta of terrible proportions. I was excited when Esqido reached out just because false lashes are literally the ONLY way for me to get any definition in my lashes. With this being said though, I’m not an expert at application so I was curious to see how they would work out.
Haul: Fantastic Drugstore Picks
I recently made a couple of purchases at Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall (Canadian drugstores). I picked up some backups of items and also decided to pick up some things that caught my eye. If you’re looking for some great products at the drugstore, here’s a little roundup!
Review: Luxie Wonder Woman Face Brush Set
The one (and only) purchase I made at Gen Beauty this year was this Luxie x Wonder Woman face brush kit. It was love at first sight for sure. Before the convention, I took a look at Luxie’s website and this brush set definitely caught my eye. After seeing the Wonder Woman movie in theaters, I have just been Wonder Woman obsessed. I want to grab some of the comics to really learn more about the lore.
Anyways, as mentioned in my Gen Beauty 2017 Toronto Recap, these were actually the only brushes that Luxie was selling. I guess it was lucky for me because I ended up taking it home!
Travel Beauty and Skincare Kits
Hi friends! It’s Summer! It seems like a long time coming, but the hot weather is here. 😀 Summer also means the season for travel! I’ll be going on a trip myself this summer and wanted to try out some summer kits. I thought I would show the ones I picked up for my trip to see if it gives you any inspiration for your summer travel plans.
Review: THEFACESHOP Chia Seed Skincare Line
Hello!! I’ve had so much skincare I’ve been trying out lately, and here’s a collection to add to that! THEFACESHOP has a couple of collections, and months ago I was sent the Chia Seed line to try out. I was very excited to try this because it’s made for normal-oily skin!
Event Recap: Gen Beauty Toronto 2017
Hello! Today I have a recap of Gen Beauty Toronto 2017 which was held last weekend. I went last year and was luke warm about the experience. This year I was generously invited by a friend to join in. I thought I would do a review of this year’s festivities in comparison to last year with also a look into the goodies we got.
