Beauty Ramble: How you confident without makeup?

I have been wearing mascara for 13 years now. My obssession started in grade 7, when I got my first tube of Avon Mascara. I will never forget how just wearing a few coats made my lashes look amazing.

Since then Mascara has been my favorite on the go product. I will admit I've cut down wearing it drastically now that I drive to work. Skipping my 5 to 10 minutes face routine gets me into work & out early.

All of this brings me to my question for you all..

How you confident without makeup?

 

From 1 to 10 on the confidence scale .. I'd rate my self a 10!

Until I look in the mirror and see a stray brow hair or chapped lips..LOL

So ladies tell me what you think :)

How big is your make-up bag?

Recently I switched my make-up bag to something much bigger & heavy duty.

Lucky for me Dickies Canada sent me this sample bag to try out :D

Since I carry a huge bag..lol. I can fit this case in there easily. In my old bag I couldn't fit any make-up brushes!!

As you can see I fit a full sized powder brush from Crown Brushes in there. Plus I have room and another compartment.

Off hand in my bag I have:

• A blush
• 4 Mascaras
• Eye highlighter
• 5 lip glosses
• 2 lipsticks
• 3 eyeliners
• A lip pencil
• MAC palette

That's NOT all of it..lol. But I'm going to stop now so you don't think I'm crazy...

What's in your make-up bag? Is it full?

Disclaimer: I was sent this product to review by Dickies Canada

OMG!! Guess what?!?!

Spiced Beauty has a new look :D 

What do you think?

Affordable Must have E.L.F Daily Brush Cleaner

If you don't know already I'm a huge E.L.F fan.
You get affordable make-up that doesn't break the bank!

I was lucky to have the opportunity to have a few items sent to me by E.L.F :D

The first thing I'll be reviewing is the E.L.F daily brush cleaner:
"An anti-bacterial daily brush cleanser for quick cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Helps to keep your brushes lasting longer for extended use." 

Brush cleaning is really hard to do when you have a full-time job.

Once you get home from work all you want to do is rest...

I was an Annabelle Makeup Artist for the Much Music Video Award Pre-Party

I was sooooo excited to be chosen by Annabelle to be one of their make-up artist for this event.

This was my first time in an event setting & I loved it! The energy & gratitude from the guest made me happy.

Honestly their happiness made me realise why I do make-up. It's crazy how blush or lipstick can really brighten up someones day.

I live for moments like that <3

That picture is from the first look of the day. I gave her a neutral smokey look with a plum lip (not shown).
I love how I coated each lash so carefully LOL... you can totally tell by my facial expression!

OMG! I forgot to tell you all how I did some Male make-up application for the first time. Super easy!
Annabelle's Mineral powder was lightweight and perfect for even coverage : D
