FAVOURITES | 5 Favourite Beauty Products for July 2014

July seemed like one of those "all over the place" months for me, and I found myself getting a bit routine with my makeup. Not that routine is bad, but it is easy and when your other half says, "hey, lets go to Las Vegas!" and its 42 degrees outside (that upper 110's for you Americans) then routine, easy, and quick are all words that play into ones vocab. Let's take a look into the five bits I didn't want to be without this past month, shall we?

THE "I'VE BEEN IN THE SUN" BLUSH | theBalm Instain Blush in Toile

So we all know I needed another blush in my life like I needed a hole in my head, but when I saw this beauty on sale for half price a month or so ago, I figured it would be stupid not to buy it, right?

Sometimes you just stumble across a product that just makes you wonder what you did before you discovered it. I've collected five of my favourite game changing products that I don't want to be without. Ever.

WANTED | Hard to Get Beauty Bits

Every once in a while I fall in love with reviews or raves over products, right them down on my wishlist and drool over them online, only to realize they aren't available to me here in Canada. It's a real bummer! Sometimes they make their way here eventually, and other times they never do. Here's a little list of some of the talked about bits I'm really wanting to get my hands on these days...

FLOPS | 5 Beauty Letdowns for June 2014

Every month I bring forth my favourite beauty bits, but lets face it, there are always a few duds (hey, it happens to us all!) So lets go through the five items that flopped for me in June - no offence if they are your very favourite of life product, they just didn't work for me. Ok? Ok.

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK | Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

The newest product offering by uber sleek brand Nars is an eyeshadow that promises "A creaseless, 8-hour wear eye shadow with a transformative texture for wet or dry application". I picked three of the Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows up the morning my local Sephora was putting them on the shelf, and put them to the test.

MONTHLY MUST BUY | Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask

It's the first of the month, which means it's time for my pick for Monthly Must Buy. I always love this post because I pick one thing that I truly think is worth spending your cold hard coin on, even if you only buy one thing beauty related for the month of July.
