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

IN MY MAKEUP KIT.

a couple of months ago i started using concealer, i tried a couple of different brands then i found "ERASE PASTE" from Benefit Cosmetics and i will never use another brand again. the concealer comes in a cute packaging, which includes; a spatula, and a little how to guide, so people who arent familiar with putting concealer on can do it like a pro. it is super easy to blend, and it also brightens the face, which is an added bonus. wear this the day after a long night out, and you will look good as new.

COLOR THE RAINBOW.


Lauren Conrad tweeted on June 29th to her followers "Roses are red,violets are blue. The color of my hair is up to you" A day later she posted a picture of her new color of her hair, which were colors of the rainbows on the tips of her blonde hair. Kate Bosworth has also died the tips of her hair to light blue. I am not a risk taker when it comes to dying my hair, because i have had bad experiences with hair dye, but i love this new trend, and think if done properly will look super edgy. who hasn't experienced with manic panic when they were a kid? i know i have.

KDASH NAIL KOLORS

Many celebrities have been creating nail polish lines instead of perfume lines these days, such as: Katty Perry, Justin Bieber, and even Serena Williams, so this does not surprise me that the Kardashian sisters also jumped aboard this newest trend. They named their line the Kardashian Kolors for Nicole OPI, which includes 14 new shades. Some of the names of the polishes include: "Khloe had a little Lam Lam", "Listen to your momager" and "Wear something spar-kylie". These colors are not out yet, so i am dying to buy the line since i am obsessed with nail polishes. This line will be out around the holiday season so i will be counting down the days till i own them.

tanoholic?

for all of you that don't know me, i was not blessed with the beautiful olive skin tone, instead i was giving pale skin that burns in the sun. in my opinion everyone looks better with a tan, but nobody looks good like an orange ompa lumpa. i recently tried, "St-Tropez" gradual tanning cream, and i am in love. the cream is not like most tanning creams; it does not have a bad smell, and it does not leave you orange. it makes you pass for having a natural glowing , tan given from the sun. for any of you, who were born with the same problems as me, or for you who want to have a tan all year round, you will love all of the "St-Tropez" products. unfortuanly, you can not purchase any of their products in canada, so i bought mine off of Sephora online. it comes in less than five days, so if you did not have a chance to get some sun, and you have a party coming up and want to look good to find a new hottie, you will have just enough time to receive the cream and strut away with some new arm candy.
