Limited-Edition Mary Kay® Lip Lacquer Pink Pagoda

I've been getting sick on and off lately- so I apologize for my lack of posts.

I'm currently shopping my makeup stash. You wouldn't believe how many products you can find just by looking through your traincases and drawers. It's insane.

I will be doing a new series on my blog where I highlight products I own in effort to use/fall in-love with them again. I hope these short posts will inspire you to go through your own stashes or find/use similar products that you own!

This week I was looking for spring colours to add to my beauty regime. During my search, I remembered I had this gorgeous Limited-Edition Mary Kay® Lip Lacquer called Pink Pagoda ( $18.00 CAN).

This lightweight formula glides on for a jelly finish that feels extremely moisturizing and smooth. The intense, stay-true colour has a superglossy finish that’s so on-trend.

I love how bright the pink is. The colour you see in the jar is literally the colour you get when applied to the lips. I have pigmented lips- so I like the fact that it shows up vividly. It also came with a retractable lip brush! 

Do you own a colour like this?

Winged Eyeliner & Wine Lips

My signature look this year has been pretty simple- Wing liner & bold plum lips. It's quick and effortless. This post was apart of Challenge Four for Fashion magazine's Beauty Panel.
 
I'm constantly asked how do I get my line so perfect. I will tell you it takes a lot of practice but a good eye liner is key. You can use pencil, liquid, cake or gel liners to get the look.

For time sake, I use liquid liners. I also make sure I get the deepest black. I find it pops on my skin tone and also brings out the brown in my eyes. 

For this particular look I used Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eye Liner from Milani. The liner is thin, pointy and deep. People who are new to eye liner may like it because it has a grip. If you still can't get your liner straight, make sure to have some precision qtips on hand to clean up the mess.

What is your favourite liquid eyeliner?

Current Obsession: Caudalie Grape Water

There is a big difference between dewy and oily skin. I finally found a product that gives me that dewy look I want without making me look like an oil slick. It was actually a recommendation from the esthetician at Murale. 

 After applying my Make up For ever Pro Finish, I spray Caudalie Grape Water in a "T" formation on my face. I love the look it gives off. It hydrates and refreshes my skin.

I took a huge risk buying this product because I'm actually allergic to grapes.. Yea I know... I'm crazy. Since I'm not ingesting them, I'm okay. Don't Judge me!! 

100 percent grape water toner enriched with moisturizing polysaccharides and mineral salts.

For $12.00 I think it's a great buy because it works with my sensitive skin.

I was wearing the Caudalie Grape Water over MUFE pro finish here.
