MAJN Herbal Skin Caring Eye Mask

I love using face masks so I was pretty excited when my friend Vanessa returned from a trip to Hong Kong with some things for me. One of the items was this Collagen Anti-Wrinke Eye Mask by a brand called MAJN. I've never heard of the brand but I love these sheet masks because they are always fun to use. I have never used an eye sheet mask before so this was even more fun. The sheet fit perfectly around my eye area which was nice because most face sheet masks are rather large. The serum that the mask was soaked in was nice and cooling and had a slight tingling effect. I used this before bed but because of the tingling it may have been better as a pick me up before a night out or as part of my morning skin care routine. (but who has time for masks in the morning?

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy

My awesome friend Lauren sent me Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in the colour Boy for Christmas and I have loved using it. It is a gorgeous your lips but better colour that is perfect for everyday wear. I'm definitely a tinted lip balm kind of girl so this formula is my preferred type of lipstick (I hate dry matte finishes because they dry out my lips). It is a super smooth and balmy lipstick that offers a medium wash of colour. If you want a long lasting lip colour that isn't going to wear off then this isn't for you but I'd much rather re-apply than feel like my lips are as dry as a lizard and about to fall off (if you know what I mean).

Cuccio Colour Tel-Aviv About It!

Cuccio Colour is a brand that is new to me but I am always game to try new polishes and I fell in love with this slightly grey nude. The wear on this isn't the best as I've worn it twice and both times it chipped within a few days. I've been told that a base coat extends the life dramatically but to be honest I'm way too lazy for base coat. 


What do you think? Have you tried Cuccio Colour before?

Maxi

 Now that summer is most definitely on its way after a very late start to spring (except for the fact that it SNOWED in Toronto yesterday) I can't help but browse the web for fun summer dresses. I have never been one to wear a maxi but I always love the way they look on others and wish I could find one that would suit my small frame. I was checking out the maxi dresses available at Very.co.uk and came across a fun, and very beach appropriate maxi dress



Are you a maxi fan?

Spring is in the Air

Last weekend I headed home for a few days. I find that it is so easy to forget how beautiful the changing seasons are when you live in a city and aren't surrounded by nature so it was nice to get away and see the countryside in bloom.
 We went for a walk in a local park and then went for a little road trip. Isn't Finley adorable?

Happy Friday!

What I Wore

I haven't blogged in months because I've been busy with school and work. The semester finished a week ago and I am now done school forever (I hope). 

A little over a month ago I headed out to celebrate a friends birthday and I thought I'd share what I wore (face & body). I started out with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, Bobbi Brown Corrector, Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer and Maybelline Super Stay Concealer as my base. I know it sounds like a lot of product but I have very bad dark circles and I've always used multiple products under the eyes. AND depending on the shade not every concealer is good for the under eye area and for spot concealing. 

I filled in my brows with the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil (which I'm obsessed with!). I then used the two bottom shades from the Dior Fairy Golds Palette on my eyes. The lighter shade all over the lid and the darker one in the crease and then I lined my lash line with creep from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I curled my lashes and then swiped on L'Oreal Waterproof Voluminous Carbon Black (which I wouldn't recommend because it smudges like crazy even though it's waterproof) and Clinique's Bottom Lash Mascara on the bottom lashes. 

The final step is always my favourite (I love blush and highlighter). I used Nars Orgasm on my cheeks and then highlighted with MAC's Veronica's Blush Pearl Matte Face Powder from the Archie's Girls Collection. I kept my lips simple and used the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry.

The outfit photo was actually taken in the fall but I do not have a full length mirror anymore and I wore the exact same thing so I figured I would use the old photo. I'm wearing Blank NYC denim, Nygard blouse and the JewelMint Bow Bracelet. 

 What are your favourite go to products for a night out?

Think Pink

I got this little set of mini Joe Fresh lip glosses in my stocking for Christmas. I have tried Joe Fresh cosmetics before but had never tried their lip glosses and I have to say these are pretty good. The formula isn't sticky at all, which is my #1 dislike when it comes to glosses and they are quite pigmented. They don't have names but this bright pink and the red are my favourites from the set and I would definitely buy them in full size when I run out.
