ARCHED

One thing that will never change in my beauty routine is filling in my eyebrows. No I do not look like a cartoon character, or an old lady that has no eyebrows and pencils in a little line. I sometimes wish I never learnt this trick, because it becomes an addiction. Not an addiction where you need to seek help, but an addiction where if your shadow for your brows runs out, youre trying to make it last until that next paycheck.

I was introduced to it, from a friend. She slept over at my house one day, and I saw her filling in her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. I loved the finished look it gave her, and then I picked it up and did it myself. It took numerous trials, different eyebrow pencils, eyeshadow, hairspray, mascara, and brushes to get the most natural look. (at first I filled them in way too dark, and made myself look too serious) I do not shape my eyebrows myself, I am way to afraid to do that because I will forsure loose half of my brow in that experiment. I am a natural dirty blonde, my eyebrows are naturally brown and rather bushy. I hated them when I was younger because my sisters did not have dark eyebrows. In grade six when I first started waxing them, they were arched really nicely and were skinny, as I grew older I felt more comfortable with medium shaped eyebrows. I wish I could be bold and brave and rock dark bushy eyebrows like Cara Delvigne, and Lilly Collins, but with the rate my hair on my eyebrows grow, it wouldnt be pretty.

I can never leave the house without my eyebrows being filled. I have in the past, but I feel bare without them. In the past when I used to fill them in with a pencil, halfway through the day I would look in the mirror, and the filling was fading. After I would complete my makeup routine, I would spray a little dab of hairspray onto my finger, then wipe it onto my eyebrows for a good hold. Now I bumped up that routine since I use shadow to fill them in, I complete my eyebrows with a clear mascara. This can give you a natural look.

Eyebrows can be any size and sometimes they arent perfect from your left brow to right, those little imperfections make you unique, and filling them in, or even not filling them in and just taking care of them, and the arch change the look of your face.

A VERY BERRY KISS

So i recently tried " BENEFIT LIP AND CHEEK STAIN" in rose. and i wasnt really impressed with it which i was really dissapointed with because i love "Benefit" products. i loved the color it created on my lips, but for a lip stain it didnt stain at all. i had to constanly re-apply it all day after every drink or meal that touched my lips, i had a mirror out with the lip stain re-applying. i would reccomend this product to a on the go-girl that needs a little stain for about an hour or two, not for a whole day.
But i will deffs try it on my cheeks because i never re apply my blush in the day.
have fun trying.

BIG BROW

i have always been a fan of big eye brows. uneven, big, and tamed. your eyebrows frame and defines your face and shows off all your features. i have always liked filling in mine with an eyebrow pencil, i picked this up when i used to watch my young grandmother brushing her brows with an old toothbrush and penciling them- similar to Audrey Hepburn in "breakfast at tiffany's"
some celebs have beautiful arched eyebrows like Kim k, and some celebs have big bushy eyebrows that they are known for like lilly collins. i find her insanely beautiful.
eyebrows grow back with time but if ever your eyebrows arch gets smaller you can always use a pencil to fix it up

TO TRY OR NOT TO TRY?

I recently tried the Sally Hansen "SALON EFFECTS" (real nail polish strips) in color 360 "LACED UP" and i am in love! at first i was a bit skeptical about the nail strips, but after seeing a little article about it in the latest Cosmo Magazine, i really wanted to try it. it comes with 16 nail strips which fit all nails, i used only 10.. well maybe more like 12 because i found it was a little difficult to use. in the box it also comes with a mini file that you are able to file, buff, shine and cut off the strips with. it was a little difficult at first because i found the directions were not really detailed. i would reccomend this product to anyone who loves to be creative with their nails!
it is supposed to last for 10 days, so far i have been wearing them for 3 days so we will see how long it lasts!
i also bought another SALON EFFECTS color 220 "CUT IT OUT" that i am dying to try!
this is what mine turned out like..

SKIN REMEDIES

Being a fair skinned girl comes with a many advantages such as, not getting skin cancer, and being able to wear different blush powders also comes with a disadvantage.. eczema..
I have had eczema on my arms, for as long as i can remember. Recently i have been getting dry skin around my eyelids if i wash my face with too much perfume in it so at one point i wasnt able to use any face cleansers because it made my skin irritated.
I was introduced to two face products by LUSH handmade cosmetics a month ago, by a friend of my sister's and my skin has cleared up. HALLEJUAH.
LUSH has amazing products for every skin type but if you have sensitive skin (not acne prone) i would reccomend these two products.
1. wash your face with "Angels on Bare Skin" cleanser. which happens to be LUSH'S best selling cleanser.
2. moisturize your face with "Skin Drink" moisturizer. this cream is made with sesame almond and primrose oil,  and also made with avocado so its most effective for dry areas.

GLOSSY

Something i always have in my bag, is five different options of lip glosses, chapsticks and lip glosses. when i was young my mother always told me before stepping out of the house to put something on my lips, and this is what started my obsession with lipstick.
my favorite lip gloss at the moment is : VIVA GLAM VI LIPGLASS by MAC
my favorite lip stick at the moment is: HUE by MAC
my favorite lip chap at the moment is: BLISTEX  LIP MED by Blistex
