Chatty GRWM || Daytime Wedding Makeup (+ Where I've Been)

Hey all! I'm not going to apologize or explain my absence here because a) no one reads descriptions, and b) I explain in the video!

This GRWM is just me getting ready for a daytime wedding, using neutral, pretty, shimmery colours on the eyes, paired with bright pink lips. Inoffensive, but pretty, easy, and would look great on lots of people. Enjoy!

TUTORIAL || Sexy, Smokey Valentine's Makeup

So today's video is the first of 2 Valentine's Day looks that I filmed this year. This one is smokey and sexy, using the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 palette (a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3), and paired with a deep berry lip.

The second will be up on Monday and will be a much lighter, fun and girly look using the same palette and a bright pink lip, so make sure to check back for that!

TUTORIAL || Wintery Work or School Makeup || + First Impressions of Maybelline Big Shot Mascara

Hey guys! Looking for a new makeup look to wear to work or school? Maybe something a little deeper and winter-appropriate, but also still soft and workplace safe? Today's tutorial is soft, wearable, and appropriate for just about anywhere, unless you work or go to school somewhere makeup is banned. This look isn't fully matte, but the shimmer is soft, not over-the-top. I used a slightly deeper bronze on the outer corner and paired it with a deeper nude lip, which I think works well to make it feel more wintery, while still being very basic. Hope you like it!

GRWM || Soft, Romantic Anniversary Date Makeup

Here's a quick GRWM to show you the makeup I wore for my anniversary day with David a few days ago! I really like how it turned out. Also, I did use the Gwen Stefani palette, but the colours I used were pretty basic, so I think this would be easily replicable.

I went bright on the main part of the lid, and just a little smokey on the outside corner so that the winged liner would stand out, and obviously I paired it with a bright purple lip, which David picked out for the day =P

Sorry my videos are falling behind lately. I've been low on ideas for a little while, which is why all my recent videos have been makeup looks. Hope you don't mind too much. Feel free to request reviews, tags, top 5's, or anything else you'd like to see! I'd love the input.

Essence Cosmetics Autumn/Winter Releases || Overview & Review || Lots of pictures!!

Hello again! Today's as you've probably guessed, I'm going to go over a bunch of new products from Essence that are coming out for this fall/winter season! I was sent these products to test out, but this post is not sponsored, and my opinions are completely honest and 100% my own! I didn't receive everything coming out in this launch, but I did receive A LOT of it, so hopefully this post can give you an idea of what's coming from Essence, and some good swatches of the various products!

I'll also be using at least some of these items in upcoming tutorials and GRWMs, so look forward to those to see how these products work on the the face as part of a whole look! And as always, feel free to let me know anyting you really want to see used!

My thoughts and swatches of everything will be below the jump, since this is going to be a long and picture heavy post... but here's a quick look at everything I recieved:

TUTORIAL || Ravenclaw Eyes

Hey guys, today's tutorial is kinda fun, or at least I think so. I'm a bit of a Harry Potter nerd, so when I was looking at the colours in the Unicorns Unite palette, I felt like the copper/bronze and blue colours were perfect for a Ravenclaw look. I'm not sure it came out exactly how I wanted it to, but I it's still pretty. Hope you like it!

Let me know if you'd like to see other Hogwarts house makeup looks, or other themed looks!

TUTORIAL || Aqua Eyes Drugstore-Only Makeup Look!

Hi Guys!

Today's tutorial features the very colourful "Poster Child" palette from Wet'n'Wild that I got at the recent Canadian Beauty Bloggers (CBB) meetup & swap (Check out my whole haul). Because the WnW palettes are so affordable, I thought I'd make the whole look drugstore-only! So I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

TUTORIAL || Quick & Easy 15-Minute Makeup || Great for Beginners, School, & Work!

Hey guys! I posted a video with a similar concept ust over a year ago, but looking back, I didn't like how it turned out anymore, so here I am to update that look with something I think is far more flattering for more people!

I tried to use as many drugstore products as I could and limited the high-end products I used to make this more accessible to anyone who doesn't want or can't afford higher-end products. Let me know if you would like to see a high-end makeup look with a similar concept, and I'd be happy to do that!

Also, let me know if there are any particular colours or products you want to see me use. Your requests are always welcome. =)

REVIEW || Essence Foundations & Concealers

Here's a big review video including each of the concealers and foundations that I was recently sent by Essence. If you haven't seen my Essence PR Haul yet, you can watch it here. So yeah, I'll be reviewing 2 foundations and 3 concealers from Essence Cosmetics!

As I said I'd update in the comments. I do still think the breakout might have been a hormonal coincidence, as I didn't notice any weird breakouts after using the Pure Nude foundation again.

HAUL || Big Essence PR Package Unboxing & Swatches

I received a much bigger package than anticipated from Essence's PR, so I wanted to share it with you guys!

Let me know if you see anything in this video you want me to make sure to post a review of on my blog or on here. And don't forget to subscribe in both places, or on Twitter or Instagram to know when I post something new!

And here are the promised Nail Polish swatch pictures. But first, a better lit look at the polishes:

And with 2 coats:

2 coats

And also, I just want to let you know... I couldn't get any good pictures of the comparison, as they are very hard polishes to capture, but is a nearly perfect dupe for "Peace & Love & OPI" from OPI... and way less expensive!

Thanks for watching and reading! Don't forget to let me know what you want to see review for!
