Stila: Limited Edition Festival Collection

Stila has come out with a limited edition Festival Collection. Now this is a collection worth getting your hands on!

Sooo many colours which are suitable for every skin tone! The star of the show are definitely the Countless Color pigments. Check out my swatches of the collection below!

Countless Color pigments ($29 CAN)
Introducing Stila’s NEW innovative Countless Color pigments in a beautiful and exclusive, first-to-market formula. Each pan is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind piece of art, created with vibrant pigments and handmade using a proprietary pressing and baking process. Use your creativity and let your imagination run wild.

At first I wasn't sure what to think of them. I've never tried a product like this before. I swear it was love after first swatch! You can use each shade separately or swirl them together. The pigmentation is insane!

Light Show + Finale

After Glow Lip Color ($ 23 CAN)
Dazzle by day and glow by night. Stila’s black light responsive lip color contains florescent pigments that are three times brighter than conventional colors, creating a vibrant pop of color in the sunlight. Once the sun goes down, black light sensitive pigments cause the product to glow when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.


Another very unique product that I was very excited to try. The formula is creamy and I love the way that you can build up the colour.

Vivid Violet + Festive Fushia

Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($ 26 CAN)
This easy-glide, quick-dry precision liner stays in place all day - no smudges, feathering, or running. The thin, marker-like tip is easy to use, even for the least experienced and delivers any look, from a thin line to a bold, dramatic stroke. It goes on smoothly without skipping, smudging, or pulling, and stays in place until you say when!



I have never tried an eyeliner like this on my skin tone. I love the way it pops. This is the kind of liner I would wear if I was wearing a nude lipstick.

Which product are you excited to try?

Summer Makeup: Make up For Ever Aqua Creams

Summer is coming!
If you're like me it's hard to break away from the traditional black liners.

Time for me to play with more colour! Starting with the Make up For Ever aqua cream ($29.00) in 20 Intense Blue - bright blue sheen.

I love MUFE aqua creams because they are  versatile. You can use them alone, as a base or a liner.

Aqua Cream combines the highest-quality pigments with mother of pearl particles to give immediate rich color payoff with a luminous finish in just one application. Its long-lasting formulation will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions and its creamy and elastic texture allows for easy blending.

Ladies this product is perfect to add to your summer routine because it will last all day! 

The formula is very pigmented and a little bit goes a long way. 

I found out the hard way the first time I tried the creams and I had a whole bunch of product left over. Haha! 

I should also add that this product gives you some playing around time before it "sets". Which is good if you make any mistakes. You can clean it off quite easily. 

Have you tried any of the aqua creams before?

Wedding Makeup look with Marcelle & Annabelle Cosmetics

I'm thinking wayyyy ahead of myself. I'm not even engaged yet! Where is the ring K___?!?! Haha! I'm joking...or am I..

I needed products which were long lasting and smudge proof for this look. This was the perfect chance to show you two of my new favourites from Canadian brand- Marcelle & Annabelle Cosmetics!

Velvety Eye Shadow + Primer ($15.95 CAN )

Antioxidant / Waterproof / 12H+ Hold / Crease-Proof

This is the perfect product to wear alone or as a base.

Colour: Primer Rose
