COVERGIRL Mascaras

This summer Covergirl wants you to unleash your inner Beauty Rebel.

I automatically gravitated towards the new mascaras! Mascara will always be one of my weakness.
I can have five bottles open at one time. A different lash look for every occasion.

Both of these are very unique but get the job done.

Left:
Flamed Out Mascara ($9.99 CDN)
Make a bold statement with winged lashes that curve up and out. The unique wire brush coats your lashes for an instant volume boost.
If you're going for all over volume, I'd definitely recommend this mascara. You can also build more volume by letting it fully dry in-between coats. In my opinion, if you have time to play with your lashes this wire brush is awesome for getting the look that you want to achieve.

Right:
Clump Crusher Mascara by Lashblast (10.99 CDN)
A breakthrough in no-clump mascara. Get 200% more volume and zero clumps. Features an innovative double-sided brush with lash-loading and clump-combing zones to crush clumps.
This mascara is definitely for definition. I got more of a natural lash look when using it. This is the perfect mascara to use when you're in a rush because you do not have to worry about separating your eyelashes. Plus I love the curved rubber wand.

Trends: Skater Dresses

If I could wear a dress everyday I would.

I love how flirty & feminine they are.

Now a-days there are so many styles to choose from maxi, midi, mini or bodycon- the list goes on.

One dress style that looks good on everyone is the skater style.

The fit and flare of a skater dress works with all body types.

It has a fitted bodice and (at times) a pleated or full skirt. 

You can also play it up with a cute belt or add a cute chunky necklace.

Are you feeling the skater dress trend?

Vacations Must Haves: Dove, Korres & Tend Skin

As I pack, I think it would be best to document it!

It may help someone who has to pack for a trip soon or for myself in the future.

Here are three essentials that NEED to be in your suitcase if your taking a trip to the Caribbean. 

I usually try to bring trial sizes but these are the exceptions. 

Currently Obsessed- Make Up For Ever: Smoky Extravagant Mascara

I've been in mascara heaven lately!

So many great innovative formulas and brushes on the market.

Right now, I'm currently obsessed with Make Up For Ever: Smoky Extravagant Mascara!

I'm all about volume and length! Overall luscious lashes.

This mascara gives me all of this and more!

This mascara delivers long-lasting wear with no clumping in one stroke. Using 4D technology, an exclusive microdefining wax complex envelopes the lash surface in ultrablack pigments for far-away impact and up-close precision. The dual-purpose, cone-shaped brush has a precision tip that separates lashes as the rounded base creates extravagant volume from any distance.

Very rare to find a mascara that does everything it claims! 

The shape of the brush is person. I can get the little lashes in the front and flare out my outer lashes.

Have you ever seen a brush like this?

Layering Demeter Fragrances!

Nothing is better than trying scents that combine and smell better together.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to try out some new Demeter scents ($20 CDN).  

The mission of the Demeter Fragrance Library is to expand the use of fragrance, each day, everywhere.

The Demeter frangrance library has over 250 scents to choose from. 

Varying from everyday things such as baby powder to the bizarre such as holy water.

I've been having fun doing different experiments to get my own customized scent.
Through trail and error, I have noticed that if things go together in real life and don't make you gag-
Then it makes a good layered scent.

Trust me on this one!

 I could have vanilla cookies (Vanilla cookie dough) and drink pink lemonade!

Voilà la! A sweet scent for spring/summer.

I could also be smelling roses with the sunshine beaming on my face!

Why not try Sunshine & Rose together?

Another great combo which I'll probably use in the Winter/Fall when I miss the Summer.

Remember these are combinations scents that work for me. 

It's possible that it won't smell the same on you because we have different natural oils.

I should also add that these scents are made of 95% natural ingredients - So stock up!

Love or Hate: Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour

New nail textures are hitting the market.
Some are unique- while others are just plain bizarre.
Sally Hansen has just released one of their newest polishes called
Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour ($7.95 CDN).

Peach Fuzz

Transform your manicure with Sally Hansen’s newest nail innovation: Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour. Taking inspiration from the strong textural themes at the latest runway shows, Sally Hansen has developed a new, exclusive special effect formula that makes nails the focal point of any look. Blurred, woven and marbled fiber looks resembling hand-spun yarn are combined in a multidimensional network of colour to create a matte finish with a fibered texture effect.

I've never seen anything like it before! 

I'm still debating my stance.

I do love how it looks over clear polish but it's so odd!

How do you feel?

Love or Hate?

Quo by ORLY New Fall Launch

Did you know Quo by Orly polish has become one of Canada's leading nail polish brands. With high quality like this and the price tag of $10 CDN each I understand why they are so popular. 

Back in June, I had the opportunity to attend their preview at Polson Pier and check out ORLY's new fall launches. In attendance was Jeff Pink, ORLY founder. Did you know that he invented the French manicure in the mid-1970? Also celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees was there as well on hand to speak about ORLY's partnership with Shoppers Drug Mart and Quo. 

The Orly smartGELS LED lamp is so cute! Honestly, when I first saw it I thought it was a phone case.  It's actually portable light-weight LED lamp that packs a punch. It has a timer with three settings: 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds depending on your manicure. It also charges by USB which means that you do not need to worry about batteries. The lamp is $85CDN. I love the fact that it's small enough to fit in my purse and it can come with me on my vacations.

Each lamp came with a personal touch! 

We had the opportunity to get our name on it in one of the Quo by Orly polish colours.

This August look out for shades from their fall line which features some 

lovely purples, pinks, reds and a cool blue. 

They will also have a megapixel effects line which innovative formula showcases millions of glitter pixels for a multi-dimensional finish. There are seven colors in the collection. 

You can wear it with out without a top coat. 

Are gel nails more of your thing? 

They're also expanding their GelFX line and by adding over 20 new shades. 

I have been familiar with Kimmie's work for awhile now on Rihanna.

She's totally down to earth and she even complemented my nails. 

Last but not least, Nail Techs were on hand to give us manicures inspired by Kimmie's work!

Trends: Ombre Fever

I'm obsessed with Ombre hair!

I have come to a conclusion that it looks best on others.

*sigh*

That doesn't stop me from enjoying other ladies rocking the look.

Khloe has the best ombre I've ever seen.

The look also looks great on Keke Palmer.

How do you feel about the ombre trend?

Two-Toned Nails with Glitter

I love doing my nails. If I had the time I would redo them everyday!

Nail art has become so popular lately. The idea of doing nail art on yourself overwhelms a lot of people. 

You don't need to be an artist to turn heads with your nails.

Did you know that you could use items from your local dollar store to assist you with your nail art? Like circular reinforcements that you used in elementary school for lined paper! Use them as a guideline for half moon manicures. Those triangular white makeup sponges that come in packs of 100. Cut them up and use them to create an ombre nail look with your favourite polishes. 

Whenever my manicures start to expire I just get out my glitter. 

Avon MegaWatt Nail Enamel in “Shock” and “Pop” and 

Hard Candy Nail Lacquer in “Hip Hip Hooray.”

Crystal Confetti is a collection of trend-setting nail polish shades that puts the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula.

Hardcandy has some of the best glitters!
