Beauty Haul // Illamasqua, Too Faced, Mac + More // #cakeshopping

Hey baes.

So over the past few weeks I have picked up some new makeup. It added up quickly, so I decided to make a blogpost showing everything I got as well as mini reviews.

My favourite thing out of everything is this bronzer! This is because it is the best bronzer that I have ever used. I mainly just use bronzer to contour, I only use bronzer to bronze in the depths of winter when my summer glow is long gone. But this one is the most perfect colour to grace the bronzer world. I used a stiff rectangular shaped brush to contour and a large puffy brush to warm up my complexion. Best of all... IT SMELLS LIKE PURE CHOCOLATE.

Go buy it.

Thank me later.

LASHES

Now this little mascara duo is a little different. This set comes with a regular standard mascara and a lash tube filled with little fibres. You first apply 1 coat of mascara, then when the mascara is still wet, apply a coat of the fibres to the lashes. Lastly add one more coat of mascara to seal the fibres. The fibers add more length and volume to your lash, more than a mascara could provide on its own. Perfect for those who don't like false lashes, but want the same effect.

BROWS

This is a product that everyone has and uses, and if you don't, you have heard about it. It's the Anastasia DIPBROW Pomade (shade ebony). This stuff is the perfect brow product because you can achieve a subtle brow looks or a dramatic one depending on the application. It has the most perfect smooth consistency that will get you hooked from day one. I love this over the brow wiz for me, just because it cuts the time of doing your brows in half. I hope to try more Anastasia products in the future. 

BRUSHES

I have a makeup brush addiction, I want every single brush that is on the market. The pink one is the Real Techniques Setting Brush.This brush has saved me when it comes to setting my under eye highlight. I hate a face full of powder, so this brush is small and picks up the perfect amount of powder so it's almost impossible to look cakey.

The blue one is a no name one I picked up from an asian wholesale store, but you can find them all over ebay. This one is perfect for that undereye concealer.

BLUSH & HIGHLIGHTER 

This blush is a cult favourite in the beauty blogger world, it's Milani Baked Blush in the shade Luminoso. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is the perfect bronzy, peach blush. It makes you look like you are glowing and have spent a week in the Caribbean sun. It's almost embarrassing how much I've used this in the short time that I had it. But I won't stop, it's perfect.

This highlighter has been featured on my blog before, but I had to rebuy it because my firts one shattered. It's an exact dupe for the Nars Albatross blush. I have both but I like this one a bit more because it's more creamy. You can pick this up at The Face Shop for $7.

CONCEALER 

I bought this because I had heard amazing this about it, but honestly it didn't do justice for me. It has decent coverage and makes you look nice and highlighted. But the downfall is that is hardly has any product in it. I used it up in about 2 weeks, and I didn't even use to much of it per time I used it. So I won't be repurchasing this again, but I still love L'oreal. For a drugstore brand they have other amazing products.

LIPS

Recently I was browsing sephora online and I saw this colour (Honey Berry by Bite Beauty) and knew I needed it, so I got it. It has a beutiful satin finish and it is the perfect nude for anyone that has a tan.

This is one of the best lip liners I have ever used, and that's a lot to say because I have tried a million lip liners. This one is so creamy and it has so much product in it. Many lip liners I get are so short and this one is surprisingly long. It is a nice matter neutral pinky brown tone. I love it as a base for other lipsticks or on its own.

Since my lipliner collection is growing hella quickly, I decided to just let it happen and pick up any one I like and am drawn too. This is Soft Brown by Nyx and the colour is exactly as it sounds.

So I picked some lipsticks as well, because you can't just have lip liners. So from left to right we have: Spirt by Mac which is pinky nude that has a satin finish, 104 by Rimmel & Kate Moss which is a muted pink (BEST DRUGSTORE LIPSTICK), and lastly Smoked Purple by Mac, which is a deep purple in a matte finish (perf for fall).

NAILS 

This nail polish (China Glaze in That's Shore Bright) was my go to summer nail polish all summer. I wore 3 weeks straight and never got tired of it. It has a matter finish, but I just add a top coat if I want a shiny glossy finish.

If you're into deep colours for fall you will love this one (Vice by Illamasqua). Not only is the colour amazing the consistency is flawless, these are some of the best nail polishes on the market.

EYESHADOWS

Lastly I picked up some eyeshadows from Illamasqua (went a bit Illamasqua crazy). The colors from left to right are Justify, Tango, and Succumb. I think this is the perfect mix of a highlight colour, and crease/transistion colour and a fun shimmer colour.

Wow, we made it to the end. If you enjoyed this post be sure to follow me on bloglovin' and my other social media sites alllll listed on the side bar.

Also let me know which one of these products you wanna try most!

Bye Baes.

Airplane Essentials // What's In My Carry On // The Yung Summer Series

 

  HEY BABES! So I have begun packing my carry on for the plane! Which is my favorite thing to pack for vacation, because it's just filled with fun stuff to keep you entertained. I find that whether it is a long flight or a short flight, like mine (4 hours), you still want to pack your carry on full with stuff incase you get bored. You never know what you will be in the mood for up in the sky.

Here are the things that I am bringing along. 

Let's go!

ELECTRONICS 

Because we live in a generation where we run on the juice packs in our gadgets it makes sense that I am bringing along a lot of electronics. It is just the easiest you can do everything on the and when your on you laptop or phone time passes quicker. 

Above I am bringing, my I-pod for music, my I-Phone mostly for pictures (it also has music incase my ipod dies). I have my laptop for video mainly, it will also come in handy to charge things if they die. Lastly I have my Kobo E-reader (which needs to be charged) to read books. Next on my book list is "Girl Boss". 

When bring a large amount of electronics you have to make sure you bring ALL of the chargers. I would highly recommend a portable phone charger like a Mophie charger. 

I am also bringing my camera to shoot outfit of the days and to maybe even vlog. 

I-Phone Case- Jeremy Scott for Adidas 

Here is just a little sneak on the music on my phone. If you want to see my full music taste be sure to scroll though my blog and find my monthly playlists. 

CLOTHING & BEAUTY

Your airplane outfit must be comfy, because you can't enjoy a long plane ride in clothes that make you umfortable and prevent you from getting any amount of sleep on the plane. I went out and bought the Brandy Melville "Vodi" shorts, which are super soft cotton shorts with a ruffle on the bottom trim (pictured on the far left). I'm going to wear it with a cotton t-shirt from brandy and a hoodie and a flannel for the cold plane. But once I land in Jamaica I will be taking off all the layers.

Next, you must have comfy footwear, so I bought the low converse in white because they go with everything and are comfy.

Since my flight is early in the morning, I need those big sunglasses to hide the dark circles, and when I land in Jamaica it's gonna be lovely and sunny I gotta block those beautiful rays. 

Lastly, you can't bring a tub of moisture on board with you, so before you leave to the airport make sure you moisturize your face HELLA well! Being up in the air that high for that long does a number on you skin making it really dry. So slather on you most luxourious face cream so when you land you still have a healthly glow.

Moisturizer: Clinique Moisture Surge Intense (Skin Fortfying Hydrator) 

This is the best stuff out there.

Also kids, don't wear makeup on the plane, your skin doesn't like it, and you won't like what it does to your skin up there.

READING MATERIAL 

Above here is just an example of my favorite magazines. I like the weekly trash magazines for the beach too, but I have to pick those up at duty free. Of course you got to bring along Alexa Chung's book "It", all fashionistas have it.

TV & MOVIES

Since I am bringing my laptop, I thought it would be perfect to bring along some DVD's; because honestly I hardly watch them an I should. Gotta get some Chuck and Blair action on the flight. Also bring headphones so you don't piss of those around you. 

SNACKS 

Lastly, you gotta have those snacks! If you hate the food on the plane, or they don't even serve food (most don't these days), you have to have your fave snack to keep you sane. Also, be sure to grab some Starbucks before your flight, because we know there are at least 7 Starbucks in each terminal.

GUM! You need gum so your ears don't pop during the flight. When my ears pop I am just miserable so I have to make sure that doesn't happen. 

That's it for now babes!

Easter Haul // LUSH

Hey Cuties

Happy belated Easter to all of you who celebrate... I know some of you might have been celebrating 420 ;). 

It's a yearly tradition that my mom does an easter egg around the house on Easter Sunday morning. Up until this year it would be an array of different chocolates and candies, but this year she added an extra sweet surprise... LUSH PRODUCTS! I was so surprised and happy and she made me promise to do a blog post about them so here it is!

WHAT I GOT 

Ahh just looking at all these things get me excited about how good I'm going to smell LOL. So 6 of the things came in the creepy yet cute bunny head and the two big easter eggs came separately.

1. Bunch Of Carrots - Reuseable Bubble Bar 

*lemon, blackcurrant & bergamot scented 

*gives you bubbly baths

*key ingredient: buchu oil 

*good for SEVEN baths each 

2. Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb

*drop into the bath, watch the bomb fizz and enjoy the sweet scent 

*sweet vanilla scent 

*leaves skin feeling soft 

3. Green FUN 

*zesty lemon & lime scent

*can be used as body wash or shampoo

*only takes a small bit to lather up 

*can be used for bubble baths 

4. Bunny Bubble Bar x2

*sweet candy scent 

*contains shea butter and coconut oil, that leaves the skin feeling soft

5. Honey I washed the kids soap (MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE)

*sweet caramel, toffee & honey scented 

*best selling & award winning 

*Sore, sensitive skin will benefit from softening honey water and aloe.

 *Real Canadian honey and beeswax in every batch (shoutout to my fellow canadians)

Lastly, I got the immaculate exception in both colours, even though they each have the same scent. These are fricken cool because you can split them in half and inside is another bath bomb; so it's a 3 in one!

Overall, I'm very excited to use all of them and I'm happy my mom thought outside the box and did this along with candy. LOVE HER!

BTW, I'm pretty sure if you pop over to lush asap, you can get the out of season easter stuff on sale!
