Beauty Christmas Wish List 2015

Hello My Beauties,

I know it’s been a long time since I posted on my blog. I have been really busy with my full time job and my YouTube channel, my blog has been put last on my list for now. BUT I am back, and I will try to post here more often. There is nothing like reading to relax.

Today’s topic is my Beauty Christmas Wish list for 2015. I have a ton of items on my wish list, just like any beauty lover does. But I narrowed it down to my top 5 items I want to splurge on myself for the holidays.  

Nars Steven Klein Collaboration One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette ($92 C)

• This is on my wish list this year because NARS has expensive blushes individually and the best way to get more bang for your buck is Holiday Palettes. This palette comes  with 4 Blushes, 2 Contour Blushes, and 1 Bronzing powder. This is a palette worth $192, but at Sephora is $92 Canadian. You save basically $100 on the palette of products. LOVE IT! This is my top item I want for this year in beauty.

Beauty blender two original beauty blenders® & liquid blender cleanser® ($50 C) 

•   If you are a beauty lover, then you can never have enough beauty blenders. “They” say that you should change your beauty blender every 3 months. I try to keep my beauty sponges as sanitized as I possibly can. So mine stretch a bit longer than 3 months. However, you still need to replace them, and to get two beauty blenders in a pack for a little over the price of one is a steal. This set comes with two beauty blender sponges , and one liquid blender cleanser for $50 at Sephora. Each beauty blender single is worth $28 Canadian, and the cleanser is $25 Canadian for 5 oz. This set is worth over a $80 value and you only paying $50. That’s a $30 savings! Do you see my readers who much more you get for your buck when you take advantage of this time of years value sets? 

 

Ole Henriksen The Works Kit ($47 C)

• Personally for me, I love to stock up at this time of year on Skin care products. Ole Henriksen is a great brand for skin care of all ages. Their products individually are a bit pricey, but again during this time of year, they come out with these amazing gift sets for you to be able to try a good group of their skin care products. This set particularly is one of my favorites, and it’s under $50 range. It comes with Invigorating night treatment gel, African red tea foaming cleanser, sheer transformation moisturizer, ultimate lift eye gel, and the truth serum collagen booster.  This set is amazing for those skin care lovers who want to try close to everything. What I love most of this brand is that these products are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates. To try all these products for under $50 is a definite MUST! To try all these products for under $50 is a definite MUST!

  Agave Smoothing Trio ($39 C)

• With this winter cold weather, it’s very important to change up your hair care products like you do with your skin care. Heavier hydrating products such as oils during the colder months is ok for your hair. I have been dying to try this Agave set for a long time, and this is a perfect set to try 3 products from the line for under $40! It comes with a Smoothing shampoo, smoothing conditioner, and their hair oil treatment. Ladies and gentlemen please make sure you keep your hair hydrated during these colder months.  This line of products also is formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates. Added bonus!

MAC Oval 6 Brush ($50.50 C)

• My last item on my wish list (but definitely not least) Is the MAC oval 6 brush. I saw this brush being used on a model one day I was at a MAC Class. I was totally blown way on the finish this brush gave liquid foundation on the skin. My opinion is when it comes to brushes, I don’t mind investing in them because I know I take care of them and they will last me a life time. So I am definitely going to be getting this brush for myself as a Christmas gift. Sometimes you just need to splurge a little on yourself. If you are ever unsure of any beauty products to try for yourself, know that you can never go wrong with investing in good makeup brushes. They will last you a long time, as long as you take care of them, and it does make a difference on the application of your makeup whether you are using high end or drug store products.

Well that is my top 5 beauty wish list for this year, let me know what you all are wishing for this holiday season. I wish all of you Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.

Quick Review: Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

Ola beauty lovers! Back again with another review. Since I am on a slow down in my shopping sector, you will be seeing a lot more product reviews coming your way. Got to use up the products I have before I hoard any more. If you ladies know what I mean...and you are blushing because you know LOL ;)

Today's review is on the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation. Now, a lot of people just love this foundation, but I am here to say that I am not impressed. Why? Well to start with, the closest shade I could find to my skin was True Beige #203, and even that makes me look ghostly. Secondly, the formula of this foundation is not just matte but OVERLY MATTE that the product clings to my dry patches and it actually looks like I am wearing a cake face! Not pretty.

Now to get this thing to semi work for me, I had to stop using my sigma brush, and use a damp beauty sponge to apply it. OR because it is such a light shade on me I will mix it with my darker foundations that are just a bit too dark for me at the moment. But I can not wear this on its own. No way.

For those of you with sensitive skin, I will warn you that this foundation has Talc. So if you break out with this ingredient, stay FAR FAR FAR away from this foundation. Talc is one of the first ingredients on the list. Not a good sign.

The wearability through out the day is so uncomfortable that when I look in the mirror my face looks like icing was just slapped on and spread out. Yuck!

So all in all this foundation is not one of my favorites. I am an oily combination skin type, and usually matte foundations are amazing on me, but this one just wasn't agreeing with me.

Yes it may be $5 at the drug store, but girls save that $5 and spend it on a nice lipstick where you will enjoy it, because this foundation ain't even worth a dollar!

Until next time beauty lovers <3

Summer Essentials: Body & Hair Care

Ola beauty lovers! Yes I know it has been a long ass minute since I have posted. You lovely ladies never leave my mind, believe me. Now that July is here, and I have already shared my summer face essentials, it is now time for Body and Hair care products!

I don't know about you but I go nuts for body care and hair care products just as much as makeup products. With Summer here and I am always in the sunshine when I am not stuck in my cubicle at work with no windows (I know yuck!) there are always certain products I heart during this gorgeous beautiful season.

Let's begin...

1. Bath & Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream

• A good moisturizer is key during the warmer months just as it is in the winter months. I tend to stick with the theme of the summer and go with a summer scent to spruce things up. Make sure after your in the sun, you shower and apply a good body cream because your skin will love you forever for that! I enjoy the Bath and Body Works Triple Moisture Body Creams because A. they do not have parabens, and B. they are not greasy, and C. they come in fun scents! 

2. Bath & Body Works Body Mists

• Now with the hot weather, comes perspiration times ten! Now ladies this is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all human. But girls please carry with you a body mist to spritz your self as a refresher if you need to. These two come in fun scents! They also come in travel sizes too so you can throw them in your purse!

3. Moisturizing Body Wash: Dove

• You always need to make sure your skin is moisturized from the very first step of hygiene. My favorite body wash that just gives my skin the best drink of moisture is Dove. It is affordable and you can find it at any grocery store or drug store.

4. Deep Conditioning treatment for Hair: Coconut Oil OR Macadamia Deep Repair Mask

• Now I know that some of us are on a budget, and the best most cost efficient deep conditioning treatment there is out there is coconut oil. This amazing natural oil is great for the scalp and hair. Make sure you purchase a bottle that says EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL because you want the oil to be less processed as possible. You can find this oil at any local grocery store or natural food store for under $10.

• For those of you who may not have too much time to use coconut oil. The Macadamia Deep repair mask is one of my favorites to use as a treat on my hair. It is on the more pricey side but it works wonders and you do not need to user this every time you shower. I would say once a week if your hair is healthy. Twice a week if you have destroyed your hair where you have so much breakage and processed cuticles that it desperately needs treatment twice a week.

5. John Freida Root Awakening Shampoo

• Shampoo is another importance for you hair. My favorite for the summer is the John Freida Root Awakening Shampoo. It has Eucalyptus and Mint that cools the scalp and just re-freshens you whole head. With the hot muggy weather we have here in Toronto Canada this shampoo is definitely a cooler for me. This product can be found at any grocery store or drug store. Very affordable as well.

6. Lush Sea Salt Spray

• Every girl has the need for beach waves in their hair. My favorite product for the summer to get those natural waves is the Lush Sea Spray. Very affordable, about $12 a bottle. Once you get out of the shower towel dry hair, then spray this product in, and as your hair naturally dries you get a cute wave. To enhance the waves braid your hair and let it dry. You can also use this spray on dry hair. Just love this product in the hot weather.

That is all for today ladies! Hope you enjoyed!

Until next time beauty lovers
