Hello! I’ve been doing a lot of Event Recaps lately, but I love to both read and write these! Hope you’re still enjoying reading them! I recently received an amazing opportunity to meet Anastasia Soare, The woman behind the brand Anastasia Beverly Hills. If you’re at all interested in brows or contouring, you’re probably already well versed in her products. It was such an amazing experience, filled with makeovers, makeup, and fun!

Hello again! I recently got selected for a new ChickAdvisor Product Review Club from Softlips. I actually used to use Softlips quite a bit before really getting into makeup, so for this reason, I was excited to try out two new lines and four new flavours
If you’re interested in beauty, fashion or blogging, over the past couple of weeks your feed was probably clogged with posts about Gen Beauty. Generation Beauty (or Gen Beauty for short) is a conference related to beauty and social media where ‘gurus’, brands, and beauty lovers come together. Gen Beauty is put on by ipsy, the brand created by Michelle Phan. This was the first year the Gen Beauty conference came to Toronto after being in New York and LA previously.
This post will be my Gen Beauty experience. I wanted to go through booth by booth what happened, what the gifts looked like, and my general thoughts and suggestions about Gen Beauty (a very picture heavy post)! Just a note, I paid for my ticket and did not qualify for a creator pass.
A few weeks ago I got dolled up and attended Prom 2.0 with some of my favourite beauty blogging ladies. NYX held a Prom event to promote their new CF Eaton Centre store opening in downtown Toronto. The decor, the music, the food, and the people were just fantastic! I had a great time and thought I would share the experience with you all!

I recently received a very generous package from Mary Kay with some highlights from their new Summer 2016 collection. Some of the standouts in the collection are their new Perfecting Concealers and Undereye Corrector.

Hello there! I was recently sent an amazing array of Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polishes. I’ve been dying to try this brand since I first heard of them through ipsy. I find the name so funny, clever, and just a reminder to not take yourself too seriously. So what did I think of these polishes? Spoiler alert, I LOVED them.

A couple of weeks ago, my heart went into makeup overload (so did my wallet). It just happened to be that the Sephora spring VIB sale and Murale spend your points event fell on the same weekend. So what do I do? I end up getting a LOT of makeup and here is the haul to prove it.
I haven’t posted an empties in a while but I have a good reason! Coming at you today with a LOT of empties especially full sized products that I’ve had forever! This is what I’ve used up in the past couple of months!

Hello friends! Today I have a review of a Tarte palette! Through the Canadian Beauty Bloggers, I won a contest hosted by Julie from Swatch and Review. She was in the States at the time and offered to pick me up something of my choice! To make the whole thing a bit more interesting, I decided to let her choose and she picked out this gorg palette. So what do I think of it?

A trend that seems like it’s standing the test of time is ‘matte’. Matte lips, matte eyeshadows and matte foundations. Enter Nars and Maybelline. Both companies have released foundations recently that seem to cater to this matte obsession. Nars has their Velvet Matte Skin Tint and Maybelline with their Dream Velvet. I don’t think I’m the only one that sees that the similarity in their names. With me having oily skin, I tend to look for anything with ‘matte’ or ‘mattifying’ in the product name. I’ve been testing both of these foundations for a couple of months and I think I’m ready to review! So the question is, which foundation prevails?
