Lip plumpers

Loving the look of fuller lips lately. I'm still too afraid to try fillers so I'm trying out more natural options. 

The first lip plumper that I tried was Dior's lip maximizer in 001. Smells minty, light tingle and a bit sticky. I don't like layering lipstick over it or applying it on top of any of my lipsticks. If I use this I typically use on its own. My lips didn't look any different even after five consecutive days as the company suggests. 

I recently picked up YSL's vernis a levres plump up. This product has the usual YSL scent which I love, has a slight tingle and it's less sticky. I can apply my lipstick over this product. My lips appear to be slightly fuller. I do like this however I wouldn't use in the winter when my lips tend to be dry. 

Lastly with my recent sephora order I received a sample of perfect pout from Kaplan MD. I tried this yesterday and fell in love . My lips have never felt more hydrated. First you apply a lip mask for three to five minutes followed by a lip balm. My lips felt soft and full without a sticky tingly feeling. 

Empties (may 2015)

A little review of my recent beauty product empties. 

Chanel lait confort creamy cleansing milk face and eyes- beauty scent. Left my skin feeling hydrated and clean. I might pick this up full size.

Chanel Le blanc immediate brightening oil gel makeup remover- great fresh scent. I didn't like the formula. I don't like any products that has a oil component. I won't be purchasing.  

glam glow super mud- I use this weekly on my tzone. Can't live without. Will be repurchasing. It works try it! 

Clinique 7 day scub- a light weight gentle scrub. I prefer my clarisonic to remove dead skin. I usually purchase this product when I travel. Both my husband and I use it. We usually bring this instead of the clarisonic and his lush sea salt scrub. 

Clairins eau de purete nettoyante express- I didn't like this product. I found it irritating on my face ( it's for oily skin and the mint essential water might be the irritant for me). My skin is combination not really oily. I won't be repurchasing. If you have oily skin and you are looking for a micellar try this one. 

avene micellaire- this was a gift. I found it comparable to the original bioderma micellar water. I won't be repurchasing this product. If you enjoy bioderma try this product. I use the bioderma sebum. Great for my skin. 

Philosophy renewed hope in a jar- I expected great things from this but I wasn't impressed. Not as hydrating as the original in my opinion. I won't be purchasing this product. 

Wish body butter- I got this in my burch box and I love it. The scent is amazing, it moisturizers and is not greasy like most body butters. I wish it was in a store nearby so I could get it. I might order it online. I also am currently trying their shave lotion. My only complaint is that it's very thin and I have to use a lot if the product. Very moisturizing and leave my legs soft. A way better alternative to the Gillette and skintimate products. 

Fekkai PrX reparatives shampoo and conditioner- I received this in a luxe box. Love the scent and love the product especially the conditioner. I have already repurchased the conditioner. Love it

New Beauty Review-may 2015

the end of May is rapidly approaching and summer is near. I can't wait to break out the summer dresses and sandles. Over the past month I have tried a number of new beauty products and here is a little review

Givenchy Lilas d'Exception nail polish-great formula. I like the greyish-purple shade more for fall months. Happy with this purchase.

YSL Gris deco nail polish-ok formula. Opaque. Love the dove grey shade. I expected better from this brand. It could just be the formula for this colour. I'm reluctant to purchase another YSL Polish. 

bare minerals powders in well rested, clear radiance and warmth. I picked up this 500 point gift at Sephora. One of my favourite you tubers Makeup by Ali recommended the well rested powder and I thought it was a treat time to try the products. I honestly don't like loose powders. I always make the biggest mess. I found the warmth shade to be too dark for me right now. I need to try it this summer when I have a bit of a tan. I use the well rested powder underneath my eyes on top of my concealer. It's very light and doesn't cake. 

YSL touché eclait- I had this years ago and received it as a gift for Christmas. I was just using it under my eyes but now I know it can be used for more ( see photo). I trace around my lips and use to highlight my brown brone and cheekbones. Great product. I will definitely repurchase. 

Eye Brightening Favourites

dark circles under my eyes are a major pain. I am always looking up reviews on products or seeing what the latest trends are on YouTube. Lately I am using the following products. I still haven't found an amazing under eye coverup. 

I use benefit erase paste in the darkest part of my under eye. I apply with Marc Jacobs corrector brush (it's angled and I can dab the right about of product where I need it and blend withe the other side), I use my regular Mac concealer on the rest if my under eye, blending together. I then set with bare minerals well rested powder. I use YSL touché eclait to brighten above the crease and aromg my brow bone. Next I use either a nude or white pencil to line my lower lid ( nude for daytime or bright white liner if I'm going for a more dramatic look). I'm still searching for a magic under eye concealer that really covers dark circles completely. I'm convinced that I still look tired with all this camouflage lol 

April Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique Haul

I love shoppers drug mart's beauty boutique. Not only can I get trendy beauty products i can't earn Optimium points. These can be redeemed for anything in the store (I always use for free makeup) 

I recently purchased Lise Watier's sensational kiss, which is a conditioning lip scrub. I have used lip scrubs before and I hated them. This product is amazing, you just need to twist the pen and apply the product. Using the applicator gently buff away dry skin. It's not abrasive and it doesn't make my lips sore. It's also easy to apply and doesn't make a mess. Definitely a must in my makeup bag! It's definitely worth a try. 

I also snagged the Benefit roller last mascara. It curls and defines and is my new daily favourite! I was scared to try considering I absolutely hate Their Real mascara. 

Benefit is definitely innovative. Gimme brow is my go to brow product. I just wish they made more colours.
