Festival Style with Hard Candy Cosmetics

It's definitely festival week in Ontario & Montreal. 

With the VELD, OVO Fest and Osheaga going on, 

I know that everybody is scrambling to find the perfect make up look.

Do you go bright and bold? 

Or do you go in neutral and soft?

I decided to go bold!

NewYorkColor: Times Square Challenge

I was asked to be apart of NYC Canada Beauty Pro program. I felt like it was the perfect thing to participate in so I can share looks that work for WOC and try new products from the line.

The first theme was Times Square. It's one of my all-time favourite places to visit in NYC. 

The bright lights- sounds- food .. I could go on and on!

In July's package there was:

• One (1) Big Bold Volume by the Lash Mascara
• Three (3) Show Time Velvet Eyeliners
• Three (3) IndividualEyes Eyeshadow Powders

What I used & The Look:

NYC New York Color's Individual Eyes palettes ($4.99 US) are an all-in-one product!

It comes with a primer, illuminator, applicator and complementing eye colour shadows.

NYC New York Color's Showtime Velvet Eyeliner ($1.99 US) are different than your typical coloured eyeliners because they have little shimmers in them. 

They come in three colours.

NYC New York Color's Big Bold Mascara ($4.99 US)  has a rubber brush that makes hard to catch lashes quite easy.

Purminerals- JUPITER ASCENDING Collection Swatches

 I missed playing with palettes- mixing and matching colours to get the perfect look. I received this Purminerals palette inspired by the movie JUPITER ASCENDING ($35.00 CAN). Which stars Mila Kunis and my favourite eye candy Channing Tatum.

Let me start off by saying- this is a limited-edition makeup collection which is sold exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart. The colours in the palette are based of Jupiter Jones’ signature look.

Inside the encasing there is a light-up lip gloss in Galaxy. Which is a appropriate pink for all skin tones.

Plus a liquid precision eyeliner in Outer Space. Also nice black liquid eyeliner perfect for making a clean cat eye.

This palette comes with a mini eye shadow applicator brush. 

Colours from left to right:

• Majesty eye shadow (pale taupe)
• Destiny eye shadow (cream)
• Night Sky eye shadow (slate)
• Jupiter eye shadow (rose)
• Caine eye shadow (mocha)
• Cosmos eye shadow (iridescent white)

Are you feeling this collection?

Clinique Cheek Pop- SWATCHES

I feel like it's blush week here, over at Spiced Beauty. I'm a sucker for a well designed blush.
I swear sometimes I don't even want to swatch them! They're so pretty. 

That's how I felt with Clinique's new Cheek Pop ($24.00 CAN) blushes! 

How cute is the name?

Vibrant yet natural-looking cheek colour that looks virtually powderless. In a silky smooth, stay-true formula with shades for every skin tone. That just-pinched look, simply effortless.

These blushes are getting rave reviews.

The formula is very light, pigmented and long-lasting!

SWATCHES:

On my skin tone, I would gravitate towards Berry Pop. It would look great with a smokey eye or a nice monochromatic bronzed eye. I could also see myself wearing Ginger Pop with a nice cat eye and glossy lips. The options are endless.

Clarins Multi-Blush Cream Compact Blush- SWATCHES

I honestly think it's the year of the blush. Well for me... at least. I have come across so many great blushes and were not even half way through the year! If I had to pick one of my favourite blush formulas it would be cream. I love how you can play with the texture to get a desired look. 

Check out the new Clarins Multi-Blush Cream Compact blushes($9.99CAN)! 

Absolutely gorgeous!

A cream blush that transforms into powder upon contact with the skin.
