Makeup bits and bobs

Hellooo! :)

I feel like I haven't done a makeup post in FOREVER and thought I'd share some of my favourite products that I've been using almost every day. I am a creature of habit and when I find something I like I will use it excessively. Here are some products that have tickled my fancy:P

Too Faced better than sex mascara:
This is just a sample size, but I love it! It adds so much volume to my lashes, and makes them stand out. When I don't want to wear a ton of makeup I'll just put this on and my lashes look amazing.

Nyx black retractable eyeliner and Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk:
 I usually wear the black eyeliner on my tight line. It is waterproof so it stays all day and helps define my lashline. I put the jumbo pencil on the inner corner of my eyes and blend with my finger. It makes me look more awake which is always a plus!

Naked skin bb cream by urban decay:
 I just recently got the travel size of this bb cream and I have loved it so far! I hardly notice it's on my face and yet it makes my skin look so much better. It also has SPF 20 in it which is important and it is light coverage, perfect for summer! It is unfortunate though how this bb cream is only available in one shade that apparently changes to fit your skin. It works for me, but I feel if you are super pale, or a lot darker than me this wouldn't work for you.

Too Faced Chocolate soleil bronzer:
I have been using this for so long and I still love it! Personally, I prefer bronzer over blush and this one is perfect. It is matte and smells like chocolate which I love.  I don't really contour as much as I just put it everywhere to bronze up my face.

Nars Kalahari duo:
The shade I have been using non-stop is the mauvy-brown colour on the right. It is neutral and subtle, and yet so beautiful!! I usually apply it with my finger and then add a bit more with a blending brush (the sigma E40) to the crease to give it a flawless look.  The shimmery brown shade on the left is gorgeous as well, however there is some fallout and when I'm in a rush I don't have time to fuss with it.

Sigma E40 brush:
This brush is wonderful and I use it basically every time I apply eyeshadow. It is the perfect blending brush and it make everything so much easier! I kind of wish it was white though, cause it's hard to tell when it's getting dirty:P

Maybelline colour tattoo in creamy beige:
 It looks darker in this picture than it actually is, but I've been using it as my primer underneath my eyeshadow, particularly the nars duo mentioned above. There are tiny shimmers in it but these are not seen when applied to the eye. It makes my eye makeup last so much longer throughout the day.

 These products are basically what I use when I need to do my makeup quickly and all of them work wonerfully :)
Let me know what you favourite every day products are at the moment, and I hope you have a wonderful day!!

What to do ,what to do

Hiiiii!

I feel like it's been a long time since i've been on here, but i'm glad to finally have a chance to sit down and just write a blog post. Basically I finished year three of my undergrad a few days ago and it's such a relief! It's also a tad terrifying as I have been extremely confused lately about what I want to do in my life, and I basically have one year left to figure out what my next move is. I have a few ideas of the kind of jobs I want to do, but theres no certainty in anything which is kind of stressful. In my worrying about the future though, I think it's important to remember that everything happens for a reason and that everything will turn out okay in the end. I have wonderful friends and family who will be with me every step of the way and I can always count on them.

I definitely did not intend for this post to get so serious:P But I feel like a lot of people are in this situation, and if you are, maybe seeing this will make you at least feel a bit better knowing other people feel this way too!

I hope you all have a wonderful day or night wherever you are:P

Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Palette

Hiiiii! :)

A few weeks ago I was browsing through Sephora online and I came across the Pulp Fiction Palette. It was on sale for $19 and so of course I had to get it and I am so glad I did. I absolutely love it!!First off I really do like the packaging. It's a nice sleek cardboard packaging with a magnetic enclosure, and it has a quote from the movie on the front.

The Palette comes with five colours:Righteous, Tyranny, Vengeance, Furious and Anger ( the last two are only half shadows). This is a matte palette, with the exception of Anger which has only the slightest shimmer. My favourite would have to Tyranny which is just such a neat brown colour. I usually only wear neutral shadows so this palette is perfect for me!

I have been using this palette so much recently, it is just fantastic. The colours are pigmented, and they blend like a dream, plus they are not chalky at all! It also comes with a dual ended brush which I actually get some use out of.

 I would highly recommend this palette, it is pretty amazing! Plus it is still on sale so definitely get it while you can

Let me know if you've tried this palette and what you thought of it!
I hope you all have a lovely day

We got kittens!!

Hiiiiii!:) 

Last Saturday, my family drove to a farm not far from our house to get a kitten. Our cat dumbledore ran away a few months ago and we decided it was time to get another (although we still miss him terribly).When we got there the kittens were just so adorable so we ended up getting two. I'm glad we did because they do everything together- sleep, eat, play 

They are so incredibly cute and I love them already, although we are still unsure about the names. Hopefully we'll decide on some as soon as possible!

Jasper seems to be getting along with them pretty well , although he gets a little too excited sometimes. They're so little I'm afraid he's gonna step on them. They do get a tad scared when he barks but other than that they are just extremely fascinated by him:P

It's only been a week since we've had them and already they've grown so much. I'm just so happy we got two wonderful kittens with such awesome personalities ( and who also like to cuddle A LOT) 

I'll stop bombarding you all with kitty photos, and I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Relax, Take it Easy

Hiiiiii! :)

Last week I took a break from work and ventured up north to a cottage with my family. We have been going here since I was 3 and I love it.The weather was a tad chilly, and I was sick for the week but I still enjoyed myself. I love going up north, it is just so beautiful and relaxing there.

The first morning I woke up at 6:30am and it was so beautiful!

 One day when the weather wasn't as nice we visited a store that had a wonderful fairy garden in the back. I spent a lot of time taking pictures there:P

Adorable little Tinker Bell tea party

We also visited a farm with a ton of  strange statues on the property

A little shed beside the cottages

my little duckie friends

Such a beautiful place

At the end of the week, I drove home, picked up a different suitcase and went to Toronto for the weekend with my friends.On the Friday we went to see the One Direction concert which was AMAZING!We were on the floor but with everyone jumping around I didn't get many pictures.

This picture cracks me up so much!

 We stayed in Toronto for the weekend at the Trump hotel which was incredible! We explored the city and went into some shops (although I didn't buy much). It was an exhausting weekend, what with all the excitement and walking (oh so much walking!) but it was a lot much fun.

CN Tower at night...pretty cool

Sarah and I being dorks

We found the cutest cafe for breakfast on Sunday, so delicious!

Now I'm back to work, reunited with my pets (who are more adorable than ever) and I'm starting to prepare for school (yuck), but I had a wonderful vacation with amazing people whom I love!

I hope you all have a wonderful day,

Tattoos

Hiiii!! :)

Recently I have been thinking about tattoos and how I want to get one in the future. I realize this may be a touchy subject for some seeing as many people are so against them. Personally I like them (to an extent :P). It's not something I'm going to do right away. I'm obviously going to put a lot of thought into this and make sure it's something that I 100% want to do.

 I  love looking through pictures of tattoos on Tumblr and Pinterest. I really like the smaller, more delicate looking ones, plus I think that type would suit me better.  Here are a few that I really love:

I was thinking of getting this one on my wrist or ankle

absolutely love this Bambi one!!

Don't think I'd actually get this one, I just love Peter Pan :P

 

I also am kind of tempted to just get a little heart or  paw print (for my dog) on my hand. As you can tell I have not fully decided which one(s) I want or even where I want to get them, but hopefully I'll decide on something soon! Let me know what you guys think of tattoos,

I hope you all have a wonderful day,

Comparison is the Theif of Joy

Hiiii! :)

      For the past little while I have found that I've been comparing myself to others constantly.I don't do it intentionally, it just sort of happens either through social media or  even amongst my friends. I find that this is a common problem in today's society and I think it is important for everyone to remember that they are their own person and we all have certain aspects that make us special. We are all amazing in our own ways and I need to remember that sometimes.  We all need to stop comparing ourselves to others because we are not that person, nor will we ever be.  We are who we are and we might as well embrace it :)
     I have promised myself to focus on loving myself more, doing things that I love and being extra thankful for everything in my life. This obviously doesn't happen over night, it is a journey, but it is 100% worth it!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the great warm weather!
