Revisiting a Classic | Mac Spice Lipliner

Given that it's Thursday at time of post, I thought it might be fun to do a bit of a Throwback Thursday and pick up a product that is a total cult classic and something I remember loving many moons ago. Every 90's girl own MAC's Spice Lip Pencil, and I was no exception! Was it really as good as we all thought it was? Or was it just on trend (much like Kylie Jenner has done for MAC's Whirl Pencil)

My Teenage Beauty Wishlist Come True | Hard Candy Nail Polish

If you were a teen or older in the 90's you'll probably remember the original Hardy Candy Nail Polishes. They came in a slew of candy colours, complete with a very 90's appropriate plastic/rubber ring on the neck of the bottle that generally corresponded with the shade. In fact, if you read one of my early posts about teenaged beauty loves  you might remember me mentioning them. Imagine my surprise when I made a random trip to Walmart the other day and found out that Hard Candy had re released a bunch for their 20th anniversary!?

My Makeup Story | How It Began

Somewhere along the way I realized my love for makeup was a bit more intense than the average eyeshadow collection. By the time I was 18 I was collecting MAC like it was going out of style, and the idea of only one purple eyeshadow instead of ten seemed absurd to me. A girl needs options.

These were the days before YouTube tutorials when you communicated the love of the craft in makeup chatrooms. There were hours spent stalking the bookstore aisles for Makeup God, Kevyn Aucoin's latest book and entire summer days devoted to turning pages of my Seventeen magazine for makeup tips. I was past the point of 'like' and in full blown 'love' with the power of makeup at an early age.

The 90's Face... Reinvented

 

Recently I've been all about revamping my favourite shades I rocked in the 90s (yep, I was a teenager in the 90s.. cough, don't tell anyone). I'm talking a slick of liner, rosy nude cheeks and and pinky brown lip liner. Thankfully I feel like I'm pulling it off which much more finesse than I did in '95... don't worry, there was no hair mascara, cheek glitter or silver eyeliner used in this look!

THE TEENAGE CHRONICALS | The 90's Part Two

Last week I mentioned how much I love a bit of #throwbackthursday over on Instagram, and so I took a walk down memory lane to the 90's, or rather my teen years. It was a rough decade in my opinion for beauty and fashion, but hey, I could catch myself saying that again in 10 years. Here's part two with a bunch more 90's cringe worthy goodness...

THE TEENAGE CHRONICLES | The 90's Part One

With #throwbackthursday being such a hit over on Instagram, it had me thinking back to my teenage self. The 90's also known as the majority of my teenage years were a bit of a rough one for girls yeah? This is a part one of a little series I am doing devoted to my teenage years, because that's really were my love of makeup all began (and my first introduction to MAC!). Let's take a look at some of the things I sported on regular basis back in the day, prepare to cringe...
