Holy meteorites

Gurelain meteorites- I have see  them in magazines,  on pinterest,  youtube tutorials and instagram so I decided to try them. Probably the nicest packaging I have ever seen for a makeup product and it smells delicious.  I have been using my armani powder brush and I its not picking up the pigment very well and I think im going to have to invest in a better brush for application.  I have discovered that there is a brush specifically designed for the meteorites.  Do any of you use this product? What do you use to apply? Sometimes the key in applying is what tool you use. I have armani silk foundation and I hated it. Found it went on streaky, was dry and caked. But I was using a foundation brush. When I tried it this past weekend with my beauty blender my whole perspective changed. Now its the best I have ever used!! Going to start recommending it to my friends :) I do get a healthy glow with the meteorites and I will continue to keep it in my daily routine. 

Diorshow Fusion Mono Eyeshadow

When I first saw them i had to have them all! Beautiful cream eyeshadow that lasts all day. I got all 8!! http://www.dior.com/beauty/en_gb/fragrance-and-beauty/make-up-and-cosmetics-by-christian-dior-lipstick-m/eyes/eyeshadows/pr-eyeshadows-Y0148300-long-wear-professional-mirror-shine-eyeshadow.html

Unfortunately I missed the limited holiday edition- 521 Comete. So when the Spring 2014 Line came out I rushed out to to see them. There are 4-peach, lavender, brown and black. All matte (my least favourite). So i went with the pastels 721 Songe and 121 Celeste. They last all day but i have to layer some of my original shimmers to create some dimension. Im going to get the other two later this week. If theres anything left:)

I saw on temptalias blog that there is a limited edition shimmery lavender 141 Rosee. http://www.temptalia.com/dior-nocturne-rosee-fusion-mono-eyeshadows-reviews-photos-swatches. Its a Nordstrom exclusive so its looks like i will miss that one as well!! I would prefer it to the matte 121 Celeste version. 

Urban Decay Naked Palettes

Urban Decay Naked Palettes 

I have never been a fan of huge palette sets, basically because I'm afraid that I am stuck with colours that I will never use. I watch YouTube tutorials all the time and bloggers rave about the Naked Palettes. So when the Naked Basics came out I decide to give it a try. Very glad that I did. I use all of the colours. Now I have learned that Urban Decay is releasing the Naked 3 palette. I did some searching online and found out that it was released early in France. I saw the photos and the colours are amazing. They seem to be more shimmery and light compared to the original UD Palettes. Im definitely going to purchase and try it out. Im also thinking about getting the Naked 1 and 2 to complete my set. See below for photos. Swatches to follow. 

Naked 1 Palette available at Shoppers Drug Mart (Optimum Points are amazing) or Sephora. Comes with a mini primer potion

Naked 2 Palette available at Shoppers Drug Mart or Sephora

Fall 2013 Beauty Favourties

Fall Favourites

I really love summer and I really don't like it when it ends. But my favourite part about fall is the colours! My favourites this year are Emerald Green and Navy Blue (seriously inspired by Emma Stones Burberry look). So I went on a mission to find some great products in these shades.

The result:

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencil in Clinic
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Evidence 
Dior Diorshow Fusion Mono in 281 Cosmos
Julep Nail Vernis in Lacey

Navy and Emerald are two very dramatic shades but are surprisingly wearable with neutrals. 


Some unexpected extras that I also purchased:

Urban Decay Naked Flushed. I have mixed feelings about this. I think I may like it better in the summer when I have a tan. The colours are a bit dark for me right now. 

Urban Decay Naked Basics. ok I am probably the only person who doesn't own the Naked and Naked 2 palettes but I'm not a palette lover. So I thought to give this one a try and I am glad that I did. I love the Naked 2 shade. So much that I have been using it everyday neglecting all my other shadows

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencil in Mushroom. I am drawn to this gold/taupe shade and I end up buying it from every brand. I already own the 24/7 Eyeliner in the same shade and I was afraid they were too similar. But in fact they are different shades. The eyeshadow is more taupe, the eyeliner more brown. 

Dior Diorblush in 876 Happy Cherry  Wow if you want lasting colour try this blush. Im seriously impressed and will be getting a few more shades.
