TIFF: L'Oréal Paris Collection Privée by Colour Riche

Do you smell it? The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is in the air.

Right now Toronto is full of celebrities, movies and great parties!

This TIFF L'Oréal Paris has launched their Collection Privée by Colour Riche.

This collection features four nail polishes ($3.99) with corresponding lipsticks ($10.99). 

Each set is inspired by lovely ladies such as Jennifer Lopez, Doutzen Kroes, Freida Pinto and Eva Longoria.

I will admit these colours are not the ideal nudes for my skin tone (that I am comfortable wearing).

 They would definitely suit someone who is light to medium tone in my opinion.

Now these are something I can get into! 

Great formula and consistency. The perfect neutral palette of Fall tones.
Freida is my favourite!

It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Primer

When I first took this out of the box, I didn't know what to do with it! 

I've never seen a brush so thin and I also expected it to be white!

Just like all the other primers I've used in the past.

I was sooo impressed with this product that I would definitely 

add it to my top five favourite mascaras list for 2013.

Tightline Full Lash Length Black Eyelash Primer is a true game-changer in mascara and eyeliner technology. This multitasking beauty must-have uses an ultra-skinny wand to let you coat your lashes at their actual roots for the ultimate in length and volume. But the best part is, if you have sparse or missing lashes, the Tightline brush lays down black pigment along your entire lash line, filling in sparse spots for a full, beautiful lash line and the look of an eyeliner!

Never would I thought such a small brush would do much! It's an mascara that can be worn alone, under or over your favourite mascara. Perfect for anyone who wants full lashes with little effort.

The skinny wand also allows the conditioning serum to infuse a blend of lash-enhancing ingredients, including peptides, collagen, proteins, biotin, nettle extract, green tea, jojoba, and vitamins all the way down to the roots for the most effective dosage of nourishment and protection.

Application: I start at the root on top of my lashes and sweep out. Then I let it dry and do the same process under my lashes. Then I wing out my outer lashes. 

I do the same application whether I am going to wear another mascara over or not.

All Over Glow
If you’re looking for an all over glow, then using a foundation with a dewy finish will give you what you’re looking for. Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Foundation gives an amazing dewy glow to your skin. For the parts that might appear a bit too dewy (T-zone and nose area) Take a pressed powder and just pat those areas down for a more satin finish. Other foundations with a dewy finish include Burberry Velvet, Neutrogena Health Skin, and NARS Sheer Glow.

Light Glow
If the all over dewy skin is a bit too much for you then try an illuminating primer. These illuminating products go on before you apply any makeup, and give more of a light glow. Illuminating primers are great to use with full coverage foundations and BB creams. Loreal Magic Lumi Illuminating Primer is a great illuminating product. Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Illuminating Primer is another good drugstore primer for dewy skin. A little bit more expensive is Quo Re-Texture Cream Face Primer.

Natural Glow
Liquid illuminators are great for all over use. You can mix them with your primer, your foundation, or just apply them to certain areas on your face. These along with the illuminator face primer are probably the most natural looking. Gosh Liquid Highlighter is a great illuminator; Benefit High Beam and NARS Orgasm illuminator are both super popular ones. MAC Strobe Lotions is another great liquid illuminator.

Controlled Glow
Powder illuminators are probably the easiest to use. Highlighting with powder illuminators is great for bringing out certain features, like your cheekbones, brow bones it also looks great on the tip of your nose and on your cupids bow. I love using Sleek Makeup Face Form Palette that comes with a highlighter, its super soft and natural looking. Skinature Inc Daylight Illuminator works great for underneath the eyes. Miaoou Magic Finish Cooked Powder and MAC inextra Dimension Highlighters are also super great.
