Hunter Boots (adjustable back and fleece stockings)
I decided to give these a try and glad that i did. Not only are my feet dry the boots are cute. I tried on the originals but couldn't get them over my leg. Thankfully they come in adjustable backs!! I also got cute fleece stocking which help keep my feet nice and warm. My Burberry rain boots are more fitted and don't allow for a stocking. I keep them for Spring/fall when its warmer.Dior Lipstick/Gloss
I have tried YSL and Chanel but never Dior. So when it was available here in St. Johns for purchase i decided to give it a go. Its not cheep but lower in cost then other expensive brands. I like the Dior Addict best. its very sheer and more like a lip butter. The Dior Addict Extreme has a lot of pigment if your looking for a more defined look. Rouge Dior is my newest purchase. I have only worn it a couple of times but its very moisturizing. I got the shade 169 Grege a pinky/beige. Its a great everyday look. The Addict Gloss is not sticky at all. But living in a windy city i only wear my lipgloss when my hair is up. Im not a fan of lipgloss in my hair ;) (on a side note Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector is still my favourite! while it wasn't purchased in 2013 it still a favourite)Bronzer
Every makeup tutorial these days always includes bronzer. I gave up tanning beds a few years ago and have been rocking the pale look lol but sometimes you need a little pick me up and a bit of colour on your face. I have tried so many products to be disappointed over and over. Smashbox halo, Estee Lauder, Rimmel...all made me look ORANGE. So while at my local Dior counter i tried on their version. I liked it so bought it and I wear it everyday!!! love it worth a try if your looking for something more natural. Not to mention the packaging is gorgeous and it comes with a little kabuki brush for application.Ikea's Helmer
My makeup collection is growing and I needed to find something neat for storing it. I didn't have enough room for the Alex drawers so I went with the helmer. Its smaller so not good for someone with a ton of stuff and it is loud (opening/shutting the drawers). Overall though i really like it. It had to be put together and I tasked my husband with that job. After it was assembled I was faced with another problem. My makeup was not that organized after all-it kept moving around in there when I opened the drawers. I should have gotten the liners that went with the helmer but forgot, and i wasn't paying more in shipping for what they were worth (there is no IKEA in NL). Imagine my glee when I was at my local dollarramma and came across clear containers. I got a few to see if they fit and they DID!!! I went back and got more to fit all the drawers!! very happy with the result and by far my favourite purchase of the year!!Burberry Scarves
So soft, classic and I love them!! Plus they go with anythingClinique Moisture Surge-Tinted Moisturizer and CC Creme
As someone with sensitive skin I don't use foundation. Doesn't matter what it is I breakout (Armani, Urban decay, Dior, Chanel...). I also tried several BB cremes and they didn't work for me. Oil free=clogged pores.I have tried Clinique moisture cream and it worked really well for me so I decided to try their tinted moisturizer. LOVED it. Great for summer time. Now for the rest of the year i needed more coverage so after reading a blog post from My sweet Valentine (my-sweetvalentine.com) she recommended the CC creme. I got a sample before buying it and fell in love. Now its part of my daily routine. light, airy and light coverage. AND above all. No breakouts!!
