Review: Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara

      Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara $2.99 on Beautyjoint

I showed this mascara in my last makeup haul and I finally used up two of the other mascaras I had open a couple of weeks ago so I could use this bad boy. I first heard about this on youtube from LaurenBeauty and for three bucks I figured it was definitely worth a try next time I sent in a order to Beautyjoint or Cherry Culture!! I am a huge believer in have a good mascara, if I am late for class or having a lazy day I will put quickly put some on and its just such a huge change. Mascara was the first makeup product I ever bought for myself when I was thirteen years old so throughout the years I have tried a few different kinds. This mascara is awesome, no doubt about it and I was pretty skeptical when I pulled out the wand since it doesn't look like anything special. Before I always used to layer about three mascaras together to get my lashes to look the way I wanted but all I do now is put this on over my Elf Mascara primer which is fantastic (review here) then boom, huge lashes. Its pretty wet but I dont end up getting to much on my eyelids which is a huge bonus since I am super clumsy when it comes to that. My only con is there isn't a waterproof version which I would like, I wear contacts and my eyes are always dry so I have to use drops or my eyes tear up a bit and then my mascara starts to smudge. To fix this I like to run a bit of a waterproof mascara over the Jordana Great Lash to seal it in just in case!! This is a great mascara it beats all of the Maybelline, Covergirl and Rimmel ones I have tried so far. I am such a big fan of Jordana products, I know they are super cheap in the U.S and we don't get them here in Canada but so far everything I have tried has been wonderful. Have a great day everyone!!

Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young And Beautiful

Jacket: Thrift $8, Purse: Forever 21 $7, Scarf: Stitches $5, Shirt: Old Navy $5, Leggings Stiches $9, Doc Martens: $130

Hello everyone!!!! I actually took these photos on my blackberry or well my boyfriend did but I don't think they turned out to bad although we are still having framing issues (lol). My camera is going to be fixed on tuesday and I am SO excited to get it back and start blogging regularly. I have been shopping and have some awesome outfits to post and lots of makeup favourites :). I recently bought this scarf and I have been so in love with it, the second I saw it in the store I knew I had to get it. The skull print sold me on it, it totally reminds me of the stuff I used to wear when I was going through my all black clothing phase. I got the jacket earlier this year, my old black one which I LOVED got stolen at a club (tear) so I have been wearing this as a replacement. After school ended I went on a bit of shopping spree and I got two of the same shirt in different colours from the Old Navy Clearance section for five dollars each, the other one is in this pretty coral colour. I picked them up in a large since they are awesome oversized shirts to wear with leggings on lazy days while still looking cute. Although you cant see it here there is a little chest pocket and they go a bit off the shoulder. The weather here has been crazy, it was so hot last week everyone was in shorts and now its snowing out as I type this, so weird!! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Review: NYX Round Lipsticks

Nyx Round Lipsticks

Good morning everyone!!! I decided to wake up at six thirty this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I figured would do a bog post. I recently dropped my lovely Canon DSLR camera on the floor and broke the lense (I may have cried a little after that) so I need to take it to a camera store to get fixed :(. I had taken these photos already so I could do one more post but I am quite upset. I have been shopping and I have some awesome bargains to show everyone and moneys more than a little tight (when is it not) so this did not happen at a good time, anyways enough of my moaning and onto the review!! I currently have four NYX Round Lipsticks and I love them. They are super creamy and decently pigmented, lipstick never seems to last to long on me so they have about the same longevity as all of my other lipsticks. I bought Narcissus and Strawberry Milk on ebay over a year ago so I dont really remember how much I payed for them but i recently purchased Chic and Tea Rose on Beautyjoint and they were about three/four dollars which is pretty awesome!!!! It is so bloody hard to find NYX products in Canada but I definitely want to try more of there products. Cherry Culture has a 40% off sale on all NYX products and I am trying so hard to resist placing a order.

Strawberry Milk, Narcissus, Chic, Tea Rose

I absolutely love Strawberry Milk, Chic and Tea Rose, they look amazing on the lips. Strawberry Milk is this incredibly pale pink which I didn't wear for about a year after I bought it since I thought it was a bit to pale for me but I discovered recently it is amazing for mixing other colours with to create the perfect pink shade for me. Chic is this really bright coral shade which I think will look amazing in the summer with a tan. Tea Rose is a deeper reddish colour which is actually a darker version of my natural lip colour. Narcissus is the only one the photos don't do justice for since it is almost a neon bright pink. It is the only one I have never worn even though I have tried mixing it with other colours, I still cannot get it to look nice on me. Overall I would definitely recommend trying the NYX round lipsticks but definitely research the colours and look at swatches first because I dont think I would have purchased Narcissus if I had!! Have a great day everyone :).

Review: Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

I have been a fan of Revlon foundations for many years now!! When I was younger I tried various foundations from Covergirl and Maybelline which I absolutely hated. Maybelline foundations make me break out horribly and I could never find a good colour match in Covergirl since all of their foundations leaned a bit more on the pinky side. I remember I used to use the Revlon foundation which you could turn to mix different shades together which I loved for years since I didn't have to worry about matching my colour. After I got more into makeup I tried both the Revlon Colourstay and Revlon Photoready foundations which are both awesome in my opinion. I have used Revlon Photoready for a long time I think I am on my fourth bottle now so when Revlon came out with the Nearly Naked Foundation I was really excited to try it. I didn't buy it immediately since I had just bought a new bottle of Photoready foundation (of course that would happen right) but a couple of weeks ago I was in Shoppers Drugmart and they had both the foundation and pressed powder together as a deal for about fifteen dollars. I had been hunting for a new powder after I realized the one I had been using for about five months was causing a lot of my breakouts and clogged pores, I am definitely planning on doing a massive powder review post on all of the ones I have. So I couldn't resist getting the deal and I am doing the review on the foundation first before the powder since I have used it more.

I really love this foundation it has great coverage which is always something I need since I have a bunch of redness from old acne marks. I would say it is about medium coverage, it definitely offers as much as the Photoready foundation which is one of the things I loved about it but not as much as Colourstay. I don't find the consistency to be really watery although I read alot of reviews before I bought it from people saying that they did, I actually think it is a bit thicker than Revlon Photoready and it doesn't run down my hand before I get a chance to apply. To put it on I just use one of my Elf flat top powder brushes which are awesome for applying on foundation. So far it hasn't broke me out and I have used it for over a couples weeks now which is good sign!! Overall I would definitely recommend it since it is one of the best bargains in the drugstore for foundation at only $10 and offers pretty damn good coverage, it just makes my skin look awesome. The colour selection is very warm/yellow toned which is the only draw back if you are more on the cool toned side. If anyone else has used it tell me what you thought and I hope you all have a great week!!

Hey everybody!!! I took these photos of some makeup I had purchased a couple of weeks ago but I had never gotten around to uploading them yet. Most of this is from a Beauty Joint order and the Physicians Formula stuff I got off of Well.ca since they had there products majorly on sale, that brand in Canada is just ridiculously expensive like twenty dollars for a bronzer!

Physicians Formula Shimmer Booster Bronzer, Physicians Formula Gel Eyeliner

I had used up my last gel eyeliner so these intrigued me since you get three different colours in one package, they all stack together which is kind of a interesting marketing scheme. After using these for a couple of weeks I don't know if I would repurchase them. The blue colour is gorgeous but it takes a couple of coats to get a deep colour and I don't find the black to be super black. Its ok for day time but I definitely prefer my Essence gel eyeliner I had before which was amazing. Now the bronzer was my fault I ordered the wrong one so when I got this weird little container that has a brush attached to the top I was quite annoyed with myself. The actual bronzer is great to contour with though, it is super pigmented and isn't ridiculously sparkly on the face although it looks that way in the pan.

All four of these lipsticks are awesome and very pigmented. I plan on doing a couple of lipstick brand posts like Nyx, Wet n Wild and Revlon and swatch everything on my lips to see the actual colours!!

I dont think I would recommend this palette either now that I have used it a couple of times. I know these are discontinued but you can still get the six pan Wet N Wild Palettes online. I have the Vanity palette and its awesome so this definitely disappointed me. I bought this mainly for the matte side since I didn't have a non shimmery pink shade. All three of the matte shades are super pigmented but the pink/peach comes out a bit weird on my skin ton and I kind of think it looks like it gives me pink eye which is so NOT cute. The shimmery side was pretty disappointed since the top two colours have almost no colour payoff and only the bottom black one is decent. I can definitely use a couple of the shades it but I wouldn't buy it again if I had the chance.

Jordana Single Eyeshadow: Heart of Gold

I hadn't tried any Jordana eyeshadows before but this definitely sold me on them. I think I payed about $2 for this single gold shade and its awesome, I think I will definitely pick up some more next time I order makeup online. 

Jordana Great Lash Mascara (top), L.A Colours Jumbo Eye Pencil

I havent had a chance to try out either of these products yet!! I have been trying to use up the many mascaras I have on the go before I open up the Jordana one but I am very excited to try it out. After St. Pattys day I have been really into green and this eye pencil looks like it will be such a gorgeous base for a smokey eye look. At the moment I am in the library taking a break from studying for finals!! I have two tomorrow so wish me luck and I hope everyone has a good day :).

Take Me To The Riot

Coat: Suzy Shier $35, Scarf: Gift, Pants: Value Village $8, Boots: Value Village: $20, Sweater: Forever 21 $13

Hello everyone!!! Now thats its got a bit warmer out and I found a place to take photos outside I have been SO much more motivated to take outfit photos and just blog in general. This is a picture of what I wore most days during fall/winter. I got this coat back in October and it has been one of favourites since then. I am pretty sure I got it for about $20 off or something like that, I just love the brown camel colour it is. My sister gave me this scarf for christmas and I have worn it almost constantly since then, I absolutely love animal print. Classes are completely done now and I have a entire week off before my exams start so my plan is to study and take lots of blog photos the next few days. I hope you all had a good weekend!!

Review: Wet N WIld Comfort Zone Eye Shadow Palette

Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette: $5

Ohmygoodness I am so in love with this palette right now, it is definitely my favourite makeup item at the moment. The colours are beautiful (they look the exact same on the lid as they do in pan!!), very pigmented  and blend super well together. They last all day without creasing when I wear a primer underneath (just the elf $1 primer). I went home for easter weekend and I only brought this palette with me for the whole weekend which was shocking since I always pack way way too many clothes and makeup for short periods of time, what can I say I like having choices!! But I used this for both day time looks at my easter celebrations and going out at night to a dance. I love the right side of the palette the best along with the top left brow-bone colour which I think is a bit to dark for a highlight shade but is a amazing lid colour. The only two colours I cant really see myself using to much are the second and fourth colours on the left side. I think I am going to google tutorials using that side of the palette in order to try something a little different. Anyways I would definitely recommend it to anyone who since the price and quality is great, I am such a huge Wet N Wild fan!! Tomorrow I have my last two classes of first year at university and then there are just exams. I cannot believe how fast this year went it's crazy!!! I hope everyone is having a great week :).

Wearing: All shades on the right and the top brow-bone colour on the left as the lid colour
