Drugstore Haul

It's that time of the year again! All the drugstore brands are coming out with new products for the coming season and it's time to go out and try some new stuff :)

Unfortunately here in Canada the products come out much later than in the US, so I don't have as much to share with you today.

Nonetheless, still exciting! Let's begin!

Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eyestudio in Gold Rush and Tough as Taupe

I  know that these products were out for awhile now and everyone is crazy about them! They are a really good alternative to the MAC Paint Pots (which I have but I find that they crease on my oily lids). Tough as Taupe is a matt finish cream eyeshadow, great for everyday makeup look. You can use them as a base or just as it is. I'm thinking to go back for more colours........ 

Cover Girl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in 250

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede in 040 Flashing Lights

Maybelline Color Whisper Lipsticks in 100 and 30 

Swatch FLTR: Cover Girl, Maybelline (2), Revlon

The colours aren't exactly opaque on your lips if you have pigmented lips like I do. They feel nice and light so if you are one of those people who doesn't like the feeling of lip products, these are pretty good. Though I wouldn't repurchase any of them just because they are not THAT fantastic.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadows in 382B and 332

Like all of the Colour Icon series, these are just as pigmented and easy to use. They are so affordable and great quality. If you love colours and on a budget, do try the wet n wild eyeshadows because you'll be surprised how well they compare to some high end brands.

That's it for my drugstore haul. 

Please come back for more reviews and tutorials coming up sometime this week! Thank you :)

Simple Look with Red Lips

Hi all! I'm doing a simple look today featuring a bright red lip, suitable to day and night! :D It should take 5 to 10 minutes to complete this look.

Hiiiii!

Begin your face with a some sun screen, foundation and nicely filled in eyebrows. Some people prefer to do the eyebrows after the eye makeup, but I usually stay with the same brow shape that's why I like to do this step first.

YSL Teint Resist Long Wear Oil Free Foundation in 5

Begin your eyes with an eyeshadow primer. In this case I would choose one that has shimmer in it.

Like so

Like usual, tight line your eyes with an eyeliner that does not smudge and oil/waterproof. I used to use the MAC Blacktrack Fluidline but lately I've been using the Physicians Formula eyeliner pencil to save time.

Close up

Tight lining makes your eyelashes appear fuller and gives the eye a more "awake" look.

UD NAKED Palette in colour Sin

Using a light shimmery colour with a fluffy brush, go across the eyelids in a windshield wiping motion.

UD NAKED Palette in colour Buck

With a matte brown colour eyeshadow and a pointed brush, lightly contour the outer corner of your eyes. You can choose a darker colour if you with to create a more dramatic look.

Progress so far..

Here comes the hard part! Winged eyeliner! Use a pencil liner to sketch a line first if you feel uncomfortable going in with a liquid liner straight away. Remember to always pick a liquid liner that is stiff to ensure more control.

Maybelline Master Percise EYESTUDIO Eyeliner

With eyeliner

Draw the outer part of your eyes first and then the inner part. Make sure the eyeliner is thin in the inner corner. If you have bigger eyes than I do, feel free to go thick on the eyeliner.

Hello!!

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in colour N.1

This colour is surprisingly long lasting!

Benefit blush in Coralista

For a look like this, I recommend to go peach on the cheeks. Or bronzer as cheek colour would work perfectly as well!

Complete look!

Here are some other red colours that I would recommend to go with this look.

Back row: Rimmel Kate no.12; Revlon Colorstay no.375

Front row: Revlon Colorburst no.080; Rimmel Kate no.10

See you soon and have a great weekend!
