Hope you guys enjoy this chatty GRWM / first impressions on the Revlon Eyes, Lips + Cheeks palette in Romantic nudes! These seem like such a cool thing with the eyeshadows, lip products, and a blush all in one little palette, and from the drugstore too! Let me know if you've tried any of these, and if you think they are worth it!
Also, I hope you guys like the new little title animations. I learned a new thing and decided to give it a go. I really like how it turned out, and I'm hoping it makes my videos look a little more pro. Let me know if you noticed, and if you liked it. =)
In which I briefly share my thoughts on and swatch the new NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating palette. Spoilers: its gorgeous! See below the embedded video player for up close pictures of the palette, and my hand swatches.
I didn't crop the above image weirdly... there is a faint, shimmery swatch in front of that rusty coloured swatch... it's just very similar to my skintone!
Want to see this palette used in a video? Conveniently, I've already posted one! Check out my last video for a simple daytime look featuring this palette, and feel free to let me know if there are any shades you want to see me use in a future look!
In which I give a quick review of the ELF Contour Palette, and also compare the shades to the colours found in the Light/Medium version of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. I definitely think that this palette makes for a good semi-dupe of that palette, and I don't think most people would be unhappy with the ELF palette!
In which I review the Unicorns Unite palette from Makeup Revolution. Makeup Revolution will soon be launching in London Drugs stores in Canada, so I was lucky enough to get this (and a couple more) Makeup Revolution palettes from the #LDBeauty event last month, so I wanted to review them for you and share my thoughts on whether these are worth trying when they do pop up in your local London Drugs. Or if you aren't in Canada, maybe you already have access to these palettes at Ulta, online, Superdrug, etc. =)
All the eyeshadow swatches are below the embedded video!
In the following swatches, I tried to pick up about the same amount of product and use approximately the same effort into each swipe... I used no primer and didn't try to build up the colour's opacity, because I wanted to show what a normal swatch of each colour looks like. Hope these help! =)
The palette:
Row 1:
Row 2:
Row 3 (the mattes):
As you can see, the pigmentation isn't bad, but isn't great. Some colours are certainly better and easier to work with than others, and two of the matte shades are very translucent and invisible on my skin! Some of the more metallic shades, and the darker mattes can be a bit powdery and fall out-y, but this is still a pretty good palette for those on a budget... Those colours are just so pretty!
Hey guys! In today's video I'm sharing with you the makeup I did for David's birthday party just over a week ago, which is also coincidentally Canada Day, so I've added red lips for some subtle Canadian pride =P I really love how this look turned out, so I hope you guys like it too! I used a ton of drugstore products in this one, as well, so it's really affordable compared to some of my more high-end focussed looks!
Let me know if you like the voiceover format more than just watching me do my makeup at high speed, or having me talking while I do my makeup. It's the most work to put together, since it's almost like I'm recording and editing twice for one video, but if you like it most, I'm totally willing to do more like this!
Hey guys! Today's video is a quick review of the new(ish) ELF Mad for Mattes eyeshadow palette that I received from the #LDBeauty event last month! As always, my opinions here are completely honest and unbiased. I really do love this palette!
This palette is not yet available at London Drugs, at least online, but it is online on ELF's website for $10 USD.
Hi guys! In today's video I am playing with a ton of new products I was given at the #LDBeauty event a couple of weeks ago, and I create a smokey, colourful makeup look!
All the products used will be down below, as well as a link to my LDBeauty event haul, so let me know if there is anything I used here or mentioned in my haul that you want to see in a look or a review, and I will work on getting that out for you!
Here's a look at all the fun products I got from this year's #LDBeauty event, which is an event London Drugs holds every year for press, bloggers, and Youtubers in the beauty world in Vancouver. At this event, they have a bunch of brands come and share stuff that is either just in stores, or else coming out over the summer.
So I thought I'd share my haul with you guys to give you a quick glance at some of the cool new products coming to the drugstore, as well as a peek into the products that I will likely be featuring in upcoming tutorials, GRWMs, and reviews either here on the blog, or in videos (which get posted here anyways)! So make sure to subscribe and follow me on my social media to find out more about my thoughts on these products!
Also, please let me know if there is anything you see here you want to know more about, and I can try to work those products into a review or tutorial as soon as possible!
As the title suggests, today's video is a comparison of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and the new-ish L'Oreal La Palette Nude 2, both rosy, pinky, purple, taupey palettes, one high end, one low end... so how do they compare? Check out my video, and the swatch picture below to find out!
I also included a quick review of the Miss Manga Rock mascara from L'Oreal in this video, because I didn't really have enough to say for a separate video! Enjoy, and let me know if you've tried either or both of these palettes, and what your thoughts were! =)
If you haven't seen my vlog yet for the event, that went up this past Thursday, so make sure to check that out for a peek into the event! But for now, let's take a look at everything that I was lucky enough to receive!
(I'm going to insert a jump here so that those who don't want to see all the pictures, don't have to load them, since this is a big post! So just click below to keep reading!)
