Review and Swatch: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush

Happy October! I hope you all had a great September, hopefully it wasn't too stressful and sad to be leaving the sun. I bought this lip product a while back and fell in love instantly. I had always stared at the Revlon lip section with awe because there are just so many colours and choices... how can I choose?! After too many trips to Shoppers, I finally decided to buy the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (which I am going to notate as JBKBS because holy MOLY that is too long of a name). I picked mine up at Shoppers for around $8CAN. 

Review & Swatch: Nyx Cream Blush in Boho Chic

I haven't been that active blogging lately. University has started and I'm trying to keep up with mounting projects and readings. For some reason I'm taking five course for my first semester ever and it's going okay! They're art courses so it's a little more relaxed. 

But anyway I had been lusting over Nyx Cream Blushes for a while, but I could never find them in Canada. That was until I decided to step inside a Pharmasave. They had a few makeup stands from the major lines but what caught my eye was the Nyx stand! They have one in London Drugs but they don't seem to carry their cream blushes. There is a downside to all of this though, and that would be that the prices are double. Not even joking. I had a bit of extra cash saved and decided "what the heck!". This blush retails in Canada for $11.99. (crazy, I know.) 

Review and Swatch: Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil

Hi everyone! 

I've been looking for a black eyeliner for a while, and I know it's practically a staple but I just didn't want to spend around $10 on a single liner. Makeup in Canada is much more expensive than the US, and I really don't understand why. The brand Essence is a German company whose "thing" (I can't find the right word!) is that nothing is over $5. Yes please! 

Let's take a look.

Review and Swatch: Topshop lipstick in Firecracker!

Happy summer everyone! I really hope you have been having a lovely and warm summer vacation, I know I sure am! To try and kick off a summer-themed string of posts I have a lipstick review for the shade "Firecracker" (oo, how fierce) by Topshop's makeup line. I purchased this lipstick at Topshop, it was %50 for $7CAN at the time. 

Let's have a look shall we?

Review & Swatch: MAC Humid Eyeshadow

Hello everyone!

I received this eyeshadow as gift from a family member, and even though I hardly wear green I still appreciate the smooth texture and amazing colour. These fully packaged, 1.5g eyeshadows retail for $18CAN, which is pretty darn steep for one eyeshadow. I'm thinking about starting my own MAC palette soon, maybe when I get a bit more cash on hand.
Anyway, let's take a look!
