Beauty Favourites

Hello lovelies,

It has been awhile since my last favourites, so I have a lot of new things to show you. Sone are new products and some are ols favourites you may have seen on my blig before.

I'm not going to give a full description on each product, if you want a full review on any of the products leave a comment below and I will get to it!

Without further a do here are my current favs...

Face:
- Elf mist and set spray with aloe, green tea and cucumber. This makes my makeup last so much longer through out the day without looking cakey.
- Garnier bb cream (original formula) in light/medium. It's light and just the right amount of coverage for everyday use.
- Laura Mercier foundation primer in radiance. Gives my skin a sunskissed glow and is so light on the skin.
-Covergirl and olay concealer stick in 725 illuminator. Perfect colour for under my eyes.

- Elf eyebrow kit in ash. I used to be all about the pencil until this kit. I love it!
-Essence blush in 20 babydoll. The perfect everyday colour. It's a gorgeous rosey pink.
- Benefit watts up cream highlighter. A beautiful champagne colour perfect for every skintone. I love this for above my cheekbones.

Brushes
- Sonia Kashuk no. 130 synthetic buffing brush. I love this for my every day foundation. Gives a smooth flawless finish.
- Elf flawless concealer brush. Perfect for blending concealer around my face. I still however prefer my fingers for under my eyes.

Lips
(I kind of have a lot, but I like to combine them for different looks)
-eos lip balm. They make my lips so soft and smooth. Fav lip balm!!!
- Sephora lip liner in 05 native nude
- NYX lip liner in 839 dolly pink
- Rimmel moisture renew in 700 nude delight
- NYX matte lipstick in simmer breeze
- Jelly pong pong lip blush stain
I love mixing nudes with pink for a gorgeous pinky nude. Some days I also love to wear each colour on their own.

Hair
- Macadamia healing oil hair treatment. I got this sample in a glossybox a couple of months ago and I love it. I use when my hair is wet and dry. Its not too heavy and it helps make my ends strong and smooth.
- Organix Vanilla silk conditioner. Omg this conditioner smells like the drink coco loco. I close my eyes and I imagine I'm in Dominican every time I use this. It makes my hair so shiny and smooth.

Body:
- Schick intuition razor. I love my schick razor. I don't need shave gel, so it saves me time and my legs are so smooth afterwards.

Scent:
- Victoria's Secret bombshell mody mist. This scent is one of all time favs. It has the slightest spice to it, but it's also sweet. A perfect night out scent.

What are some of your current favourites?

I hope you all have am awesome weekend and to all of my fellow Canadians Happy Canada Day!!!!

Sephora 500 perk Review - Laura Mercier

Hello lovelies,

Last week I was at Sephora and I picked up my 500 perk gift. I had been waiting for something that I thought was worth the points and I saw this perk I had to grab it!!!

(sorry for the bad quality photos I was using my Ipod to take the pics :( )

The perk came in this little box and each piece was individually wrapped which I loved.

Looking at the size of the box and the size of each product, I was pretty impressed with what you get.
You get:
a sample size mascara, a sample size lip gloss, a mini sample of their foundation primer, a sample size eyeshadow (which is a really good size), and an almost full size eyeliner.

Lip gloss in sparkling; a dark pinky/peachy nude that smells and tastes like coffee beans mmmm...not at all as sticky as my MAC lip glosses

Kohl Eyeliner in black gold - the perfect dark gold colour and it glides on so smooth and light

mascara perfect for volume, has a wider wired brush and picks up just the right amount of product for a full eyelash look (no name on product)

Foundation primer in radiance. I'm not a big primer person but I have tried this and I just use it as a base where I use my concealer, under the eye and around my nose. So far so good, but it doesn't last no more than maybe 6 hours and I have found as normal(without the primer) I still need to touch up.

Baked eye colour wet/dry in Black karat - a light shimmery smokey gold colour, perfect for the crease. Glides on and stays on.

These are swatches of each product on my arm and my skin tone.
Left to right - the primer (has a light skin tone tint), eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipgloss
As you can see they are all super pigmented so I am very impressed with what I got.

If you have 500 beauty insider points with Sephora and this perk is available at your store grab it!!!! They are all amazing products that will actually last and they are pieces you will find yourself using everyday.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and please let me know if you want to see more reviews like this, because I personally love doing beauty/makeup reviews, but want to make sure its what you gals want too!!!
