SUNDAY STEALS | NYC Translucent Loose Powder


Every now and then I get the itch to buy something, but my pocketbook wholeheartedly disagrees with me. I wont lie, when it comes to makeup I tend to reach for more luxury brands, but when I find something for a fraction of the price, that performs just as good if not better? Sold!

YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE | BFF Recommendations



Back at the beginning of August I was invited to a special Sephora VIBRouge event and I was able to take a friend. Normally I would take my makeup loving bestie because we fawn over everything and totally just "get it" when it comes to the borderline unhealthy obsession for beauty bits. However, she was out of town, so I took my other gal pal who is relatively unexperienced when it comes to makeup and besides totally overwhelming her, I may have talked her into a few (or many) purchases that night.

It seems to be the coveted hue of choice these days, but I find often products with the name don't really match the the true sense of the colour.

SECOND CHANCES | Mac Face & Body Foundation



Every now and then a product that I always seemingly hated previously comes back in a new way and makes me change my mind. Now granted, this doesn't happen often, and my first impressions are usually really accurate, but I know when to admit I am wrong...

FLOPS | Beauty Letdowns for July 2014


With every month of new found, or re-found favourites, there are bound to be some flops, it's the nature of the game when you try so many new products all the time. July was no different and I have 5 beauty products just just didn't do it for me. Here's why...

MONTHLY MUST BUY | Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner


It's the first of the month and that means I tell you what one product I think is worth you hard earned coin. If you only buy one thing this month, buy this...
