imPRESS by Broadway Nails Launch!

A few weeks ago I attended party for imPRESS me by Broadway Nails.

What is imPRESS nails you ask?
Your way to salon perfect nails in seconds!

• No drying time
• Superior, lasting shine
• Easy removal
• Lasts up to a week

They come in 36 different styles which suits each one of your personalities! 

I found the "nail polish" bottle that they come in super cute.

Application is REALLY easy. No glue need.

Just pull back the plastic to expose a special adhesive.
Line it up with your cuticle and push on.

My two week shellac was on it's way out, so I applyed the zebra print to my nails.

How amazing does that LOOK!

They look like gel nails in my opinon for less than half the price.

Check out this gorgeous picture I took of Anjali from Rock that look new imPRESS nail mani.

UPDATE for removal:
You gently peel off from side to remove. If they seem really 'stuck' then apply polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute, the peel off.
* I didn't have any damage on my nails because I used nail polish remover to
take off the nail.*

What do you think about these nails?

Would you rock them?

Annabelle and Marcelle Beauty Premier Party!

A few weeks ago Annabelle and Marcelle Cosmetics came to Toronto for their beauty premier for Spring 2012. I'm lucky enough to have gone to several beauty event in the past but this one was truly amazing. There was makeup, food, drinks and most importantly engagement from Marcelle/Annabelle with us(bloggers).

I loved how there was different modules set up to learn about each launch. The most popular table was the make your own lip gloss table. This idea was purely genius!  Every girl Well I wish I could design my own lip gloss and I'm ecstatic that I got that opportunity to do so. We were given two bottles of our special concoctions.

The beautiful Robin from Fashionsta514 was at the table explaining the whole process.

Look at how long the line got at one point!

Close up of the color wheel.

We had to pick a minimum of 4 colors to mix our lip glosses.

Another amazing idea was offering us makeup on a platter!

I can't tell you how tempting it was not to empty it all in your purse..LOL

On to the launches for Spring 2012!

Each product set up was accomanied by an Annbelle/Marcelle employee. 

It was really cool to get your answers answered on the spot.

BB Cream in 2 colors: Light to medium & medium to dark!

Annabelle Bigshow Lipgloss: Light & Sheer Gloss!

Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover that helps your lashes!

Kim Professional Makeup Brushes Review

A few months ago I was contacted by a rep from a brand called Kim Professional Makeup Brushes. I never heard of the brand and I had no idea what to expect. I was given three brushes to try.

• F251 for face
• L311 for lips
• E131 for brows

L251 A large round brush designed specifically for application of wet make-up. The white synthetic and soft hair combination allows for maximum color and liquid retention.

I really wanted to love this but it just wouldn't stop shedding. Look at the pictures above for reference.

USES:  Liquid foundation and powder blush (which is still left on the brush..sorry).

........................

L311 A flat, tipped brush, for precise lining of the lip contour and for perfect application of lip cream and gloss.

 A few weeks ago this baby came in handy at one of my gigs.
I swear it looked better before.
I think I killed it by doing like 30 lips. I used beautysoclean after EVERY use. 

Either way its still soft.

........................

 

E131 A flat angular brush, perfect for precise lines and detailed work. Emphasizing lining and shaping of the eyes and the eyebrows.

 It`s an angled brush that does the trick.
Okay, well I have two complaints: I wish it was a tiny bit stiffer and again the handle is a bit long for me.

Pros:
Soft brushes

Cons:
Long handles
Frosty handles don`t work with the natural oils in your hands

Toronto IMATS Haul 2011

Finally I got the time to take and edit the pictures from my IMATS haul! I think I did pretty well.

I will try my best to do reviews on most of these products. If you have a request please let me know below.

Model in a Bottle:
I swear after hearing such great reviews from my ladies on twitter, I had to get the model in a bottle spray & brow sealer. I opted for the sensitive skin formula instead of the regular. I kinda regret it because I feel like the formula won't be able to handle my oilness. Once I try it out I will give you all a full review.

Red Cherry Canada:
I only took a picture of 7 but I bought 10 Red Cherry Lashes. I totally wish I walked around more because I bought them for $2.99 and I found them for $1.47 at another booth. Either way I'm excited to try my first pair of Red Cherry lashes out!

NYX:
I seen a blog post on the soft matte lip cremes and I had to get a few for myself! So far I have been trying them out and I'm quite impressed. I really didn't need the polishes but for $2.00 each.. I couldn't pass it up!

Faceatelier:
I honestly have never seen a product like this before! Silicone based "gel/liquid" that dries to a powder finish. Look at these colors!!! I know I'll have fun with these.  The bright orange is cha cha and the red is livid.

LA Splash:
I've heard nothing but good things about their primer. I also wanted to try out their glitters! This stack was my favorite for it's variation. I'm excited to use it :)

Nigel's Emporium:
I think they had the BEST deal on lashes $10 for 7 pairs. These are actually the same lashes as the Red Cherry ones. Just a different "shell" and no case.

Royal & Langnickel:
At the Royal & Langnickel event we each got a Silk Green Line brush set! These brushes are the softest..OMG.  Be sure to look out for the review.

Lit Cosmetics:
Glitter galore! Their variation is crazy. So many cuts, colors and options. I can't wait to swatch them all for you. Take a look at that one glitter below called Soul Sister. I'm in love <3

 Have you tried any of these products before?
