Charlotte Tilbury Does it Again! | Eyes to Mesmerize Eyeshadows

I might be at the point where I wonder if she can do wrong when it comes to the cosmetic world (besides the fact that she openly sleeps with her makeup on!), but the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize have knocked it out of the park earning another hit for the makeup marvel. 

I recently got my hands on some of these little pots of self proclaimed 'long lasting easy colour' to put them to the test, and I was not disappointed... 

The Artistry Series Vol #2 | Laura Mercier (+ Giveaway!)

"Love Yourself Before You Can Love Someone Else"

-Laura Mercier

I'm thrilled to be bringing you all another volume of The Artistry Series, this time spotlighting the beautiful Laura Mercier. Starting out in a Parisian Art School for drawing and painting, Laura's career jump started in 1985 when she moved to New York to work for Elle Magazine. Then after a photoshoot for Vogue, she was hired on as Madonna's personal makeup artist (that might be when you know you've 'made it' so to speak!)
Celebrity name dropping aside (because Laura never actually had the desire to work with movie stars and pop princesses for her career goal in the beginning, she just aimed to make women feel pretty), I think the brand has to be one of my favourites simply because I know the products are reliably well made and make for effortless prettying up.  Keep reading to see what my must have Laura Mercier products are, as well as stick around to enter the giveaway (open worldwide!)

MASCARA MONDAY | YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara

I always really love doing the Mascara Monday post on a luxury brand mascara, because for years I was 110% a drugstore mascara girl and truly felt that something priced at $36 couldn't possibly be better than my $10 favourite. 

Well sometimes that is true, and sometimes it isn't. Today I am putting an absolute cult classic to the test, Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara to see if it really is as good as everyone says it is!

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in The Glamour Muse

My Charlotte Tilbury collection is growing strong, but one of the first products I was eager to try from the line was the Glamour Muse quad - a gorgeously curated collection of rose gold, purple, taupe and pearl. Charlotte designed these palettes to be a user friendly, effortless way to take eyes from day to evening to disco. After hearing plenty of good things about her Golden Goddess and Dolce Vita Palettes, I was curious to see how something with a bit more pop of colour would perform (purples are notorious difficult pigments to work into shadows). Did it live up to the hype?

Hype Worthy? | Six Luxury Products Get Put to the Test

I love trying out hyped up 'cult classic' products to see if they really are worth their weight in gold (and priced seemingly so!) as many tout them to be, and it seems you as readers like it when I do as well! I've always been one of those 'exception to the rule' types, and find because of this I look at products with a skeptical eye, which benefits the blogging process of reviewing quite well. So here are six more products that have had plenty said about them on the web, magazines and word of mouth, put to the test by yours truly. Which ones do I think are hypeworthy?

Swoon Worthy Products with Pretty Packaging

While we all know it's what's inside that counts, occasionally a beauty product will sweep me off my feet a bit when it comes to their packaging. While some tend to fall for cute and kitschy, others might like bright and campy, I am all about sleek and chic. So here's a handful of products that had me at first glance, but also have amazing quality on the inside (where it really does count the most)

Friday Face | Loving Some Charlotte Tilbury

It's probably no surprise that I've been loving me some Charlotte Tilbury lately. The #1 Makeup Artist in the world has outdone herself with the range she has created and the more products I try, the more I love. So needless today say, todays Friday Face is a little Charlotte heavy, with some tried and trues to bring it all together.

July 2015 Beauty Favourites

July seemed like an incredibly busy month for me, and flew by (insert classic beauty blogger line about 'where did the time go?' here.) I actually think every product in July's favourites list is new to me this month, so clearly I tested a lot of great stuff - there aren't always so many hits when it comes to new launches in one month! Let's take a look at what I'm loving right now, shall we?
