NYX Butter Gloss Review


Happy New Year everyone! How are everyone doing? What are your New Year Resolutions? :D I haven't really decided on mine yet. They need to be realistic this year...

I have a review for y'all today, and it is about these affordable and glorious lip glosses! I mentioned this quite a while ago that these are now a favourite of mine, but I never wrote an actual review on them.

Bronzer Obsession Series: Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder Review, Comparison and Swatches



Hello lovelies, how are y'all doing? Recently I am very much into the brand, as I repeated myself over and over again. Everything from Guerlain is so luxurious, so beautiful, and works so so so well on me. Today, I just want to talk about some Guerlain bronzers for you!

I am always very obsessed with bronzers. I only have some staple ones to contour, such as Nars Laguna and Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil. Laguna for winter, and Milk Chocolate for summer. They are the bronzers I am currently hitting pan on. These do have a more brown and yellow undertone.

The rest of the bronzers I have are either orange or red. Those I use as a blush + bronzer hybrid. For convenience in the morning, and also just for the great pick-me-up effect they give my face.

Now these Guerlain Terracotta Light Bronzing Powders are the ones I will use to add colour to my face. Especially in winter. It makes you look healthy and glowy without having a vacation!

Sephora 20% off Haull + Video!!!


Hello everyone! I finally finished my Sephora 20% off haul. The store was crazy packed.

Recently, I am just very into creating flawless complexions. I am kind of over the whole lipgloss, eyeshadow phase for now. Like I said in my last post, recently I am also very into Guerlain. So I purchased two of their powders. One is the Guerlain Meteorites in 02 Clair, the other is the Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder. I have two of the bronzers, they are 02 Blondes and 04 Sun Blondes.

I have also purchased the Hourglass Ambient Powder in Diffused Light, and a Dior DiorShow Mono Fusion Eyeshadow in 661 Meteore.



If you don't want to read my insanely long blog, feel free to watch me be weird live.

Quick Holiday NARS Lip Gloss and Guerlain Gloss D'Enfer Maxi Shine Swatches


Recently I am very much into Guerlain. This is a new discovery for me, as I thought things can't get better than Chanel, I was wrong. Things do get better. Every makeup item from Guerlain I have tried so far works so well for me, I can't rave them enough. On the other hand, NARS still remains one of my favourites. I have done some lip gloss swatching recently!

First up is Guerlain Gloss D'Enfer Maxi Shine Lip Gloss. All numbers are labeled in the picture! These are all permanent.

Mr. Alchemist, whatcha cooking?


I love glitter nail polishes. It is kind of like jewellery, or like making your nails become little pieces of jewellery. I especially love them during fall and winter, and of course, during the holidays.

Sephora's Formula X line has recently put out a new limited edition nail polish called Alchemy. I could neither resist the colour, nor the name. Fellow book-lovers, who doesn't want a bit of that action on your nails?

Here are quick swatches. Excuse the sloppy application on the cuticles. Now a days I am so busy, I have less damn to give.

Click me big to see the magic!

Pink Lipstick Fest!


Many things have changed since my last post, one thing being my hair colour is now a medium brunette colour. I love it. With these changes come the need to change up my makeup routine and colour choices. For example, I used to always exclusively use warm toned colours on my lips, specifically all pinks need to be peachy. Everything needs to be warm and nude for me to feel comfortable. Now a days I am leaning more towards the cooler pink areas. Peaches and oranges still look insanely good with my colouring, but not so much peachy pinks. Peachy pinks look rather bleb on me. Cooler pinks look much much better on me now. Plus, I just chopped my hair from past my boobs to about shoulder length. You just can't beat brown messy bob-ish hair with loud pink lips on a summer day with them crazy shades and destroyed jean shorts. It is what I live for.

With that, I have to say the Hourglass Rouge Velvet lipstick in the colour Ballet is now my holy grail lipstick. It is very expensive, $35 here in Canada, and probably $30 in the US. The formula is insanely great. It reminds me of the old formula from Lancome, very creamy and hydrating with a slight sheen, can be worn comfortably for an extremely long time without shrinking my lips and wrinkling them. And with all that, it still manages to stay on forever. Here are some dupes and favourites from MAC that hopefully, for girls like me, who were looking for dupes and could never find one, would find these swatches helpful.

Bronzer Obsession Series: A Snow Bunny indeed...


Hi all, as we are stepping into winter, I'd like to share my new favourite bronzer with you. I am a bronzer fanatic... My all time favourite is the Too Faced Milk Chocolate, but here is another one from Too Faced that I absolutely love for winter. Honestly, I think I love all the bronzers from Too Faced. To me, it is one of my favourite brands, take away the kiddish packagings...

It is the Snow Bunny bronzer. With this, I can pretty much just brush it on and go. It is like a blush + bronzer for me. I am very fair (NC15), on darker skintones I'd say this is more like a highlighter.
