New In from Nars: Powerfall and Audacious Additions

NARS Audacious and Powerfall Collection Review Fall 2016

Unlike some brands that launch limited edition and seasonal collections at every turn, NARS tends to be a little more curated in terms of new releases. I've got a handful of new additions to the range, including and expansion of the much loved Audacious Lipstick line, as well as some new shades and products that were released in the Powerfall Collection. There are some definite winners and losers here, keep reading to find out what I loved and what I could leave!

The Must Try: Too Faced Brow Quickie


Too Faced Brow Quickie Review and Swatches
If there are few things I take super seriously on my face, its brows and lashes. When it comes to filling in my next to no eyebrows, I've tried everything under the sun over the years, and I thought I had finally found the perfect combination of products that gave me strong, well defined, full looking brows - that is until I discovered my new favourite brow product: Too Faced Brow Quickie.

L'Oreal Does it Again with the Brow Stylist Plumper

Loreal Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel Review and Swatch

L'Oreal has been knocking out some incredible products lately, and I am so here for it. First, I raved about the new True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation was not only a massive hit, but is already making Holy Grail status for me. Then I was also impressed by the Brow Stylist Definer which came out in a dark brunette shade that was beautifully ashy - a rarity for the drugstore!  Now I'm hear to talk about the L'Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper, a tinted fibre-infused brow gel. Keep reading to see why I think L'oreal knocked it out of the park again...

This Just In | L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer


L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer in Dark Brunette Review and Swatch Comparison to Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Finding decent brow products at the drugstore has always evaded me. My biggest challenge has been finding something in the 'brunette' range that isn't red tinged or golden in tone. The struggle has been real, which left me always purchasing high end products at 2-3 times the cost in order to get a decent match to my cool toned dark brown hair. I've been so let down, I almost didn't pick up the L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer when I saw it in a new display the other day, figuring it was just like all the others - but guess what? It's not!

Urban Decay Does Brows

As a girl who will forever be filling in her naturally sparse brows, I am always curious about new brow products on the beauty block. When I heard Urban Decay was launching two new brow products I knew I needed to try them.


SUNDAY SPLURGE | Benefit Gimme Brow

Benefit Gimme Brow Product Review Eyebrows

I'm all about a bargain but some products are just worth spending on, so todays post is a good old Sunday Splurge. This little gem has become an absolute must in my makeup routine and nothing has managed to replace it. Sometimes it's the tiniest of products that pack the most punch...

5 Products I Didn't Think I'd Like, But I Did

smashbox primer water, anastasia dip brow, loreal intenza mascara, mac pro longwear concealer, benefit roller lash mascara

It's probably no surprise as a blogger that writes about makeup and beauty products and an overall beauty industry enthusiast, that I can be pretty picky about what I am looking for in a product. I don't often settle for products that don't do exactly what I want, and I usually have a solid idea if I'm going to like something before I purchase.
From time to time however, something will totally surprise me and prove my prior notions wrong. Here's a handful of products that I am glad to say well out performed what I expected.

Ten Drugstore Favourites


drugstore makeup NYC, sleek, bourjois, NYX, loreal, clarins, real techniques, maybelline

It's been a while since I rounded up some favourites from the good old drugstore. Most of the time I'm a firm believer in the 'you get what you pay for' mantra, but occasionally a bargain product will impress me to the point that it rivals the quality of luxury cosmetics. Let's break it down, shall we?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Ash Brown

When it comes to brows, Anastasia Beverly Hills is the brand to beat. The Brow Wiz won me over some time last year (after debated dropping $28 CND on it for ages, only to find out that it was in fact completely worth it) More recently there have been some new developments in the brow-power brands line, but I could never find a shade match... until now.
