Product Review: Maybelline Color Tattoos

The Maybelline Color Tattoos were a really big deal in the Makeup world for Eye Shadow Bases, and I rediscovered them in my Makeup collection a few weeks back. I noticed that since I've bought them in my haul (http://thaaaaai.blogspot.ca/2013/04/haul-from-today-d.html) I havent used it as much, and I dont know why. I think these are great on their own or with another color. I love creating new eye makeup for these products, they just work amazing. I love how it looks in general. I love using 55 Inked in Pink with Stila's Kitten, it looks just amazing! It has been my go to eye look lately, I love how it blends really easily, without much effort at all.























I think this product is very inexpensive for the quality of it. It lasted me a over 14 hours that one day when I had school, then had to go straight to work; I noticed that I didnt need to do any touch up's at all. I dont need to use a primer when using these products, however, if I want the colors to be more vibrant than they already are, I will use a primer. The con I have about these are that they are not very portable, they are pretty heavy; the product is held in a glass "jar"/ container. The colors I have in the picture above are
 #35 Tough as Taupe
#55 Inked in Pink

I do have other colors, however, taking pictures of all of them would take forever! I have a couple of colors that I dont like from this line, however, I just use it has a base for my eye shadows.

Product Review: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

This is the best tinted moisturizer I have ever used! I had already loved the Silk Cream Foundation from Laura Mercier, so I was wondering why not try the tinted moisturizer, and I was right, it's just amazing! It gives such a nice dewy finish that's not to overpowering, that it makes you look greasy. This product is good with or without any tools; using your fingers gives you that nice natural look. Using a brush gives you a flawless finish, and a beauty blender gives you an airbrushed look that doesn't look cakey. This tinted moisturizer is a nice sheer coverage, however, its very buildable. You can definitely build more of a light to medium coverage with this tinted moisturizer. I am in the color "Blush" It has a more pinky undertone, as am I.

I think that this is very worth it for $55 Canadian. If you want a beautiful tinted moisturizer that looks and feels just amazing when applied, get this immediately! This is worth your money for sure, its pricey, yes I do admit that, however, it just doesn't feel like any other tinted moisturizer I've ever bought. I have tried the Tarte Tinted Moisturizer; not so good. Whenever I apply the tinted moisturizer by Laura Mercier it gives me a nice fresh feeling on my face, its super hard to describe, however, it feels amazing on the skin in the morning, it wakes you up with a nice fresh cold feeling to your skin!
















I love using this as my everyday "foundation" I haven't touched my foundation in a long time, since I discovered this product. This product is not oily at all; if you have oily skin, I'd use it without moisturizer. Since I have dry skin except my nose, I use half the amount of moisturizer, than I would if I were to use a Foundation. This moisturizes your face without giving it that oily feeling. I use a powder on my T-zone because I like a more matte look on my T-zone, while everything else is more dewy, but not too dewy. I have enjoyed using this product very much, and hopefully I wont find any cons about this product!

Review: Stila Palette

The Stila Palette has been a love- hate relationship for me. I love practically all the colors, however, I only "dislike" 2 of the shadows. The colors I absolutely love using would be Kitten, Bliss, Bubbly, Sunset, Night Sky, Gilded Gold, Ebony, and Sandstone. This palette can create a neutral look and a smokey eye. I love using this palette as my everyday go to palette. I love using Kitten in most of my eye makeup looks, however, I dont like how the fallout of the shadows are crazy! I have to put a cotton pad underneath my eye because the fall out is a lot. The shadows are so soft, yet pigmented. These shadows are mostly shimmery,which is where more of the fall out is, as for the matte ones have little to no fall out.
















Using this product has given much more practice with fallout product, and shimmer products, as I usually go for the matte eye look. I would buy this palette for anyone who loves creating new eyeshadow looks. The Stila Palette is not as expensive as most palettes are (Ex: Smashbox, Mac) However, the shadows are just as amazing and pigmented. I got this Palette at Sephora $50. Yes it is super pricey, but its not as pricey as creating your own Mac Eyeshadow Palette. I think this palette is good for anyone who'd like to try something new.






















The Matte colors of  this palette is not as good as it can be; the shimmery ones on the other hand is very pigmented and just beautiful. I do use a primer when I use these shadows, as they do have fallout during the application, I wouldnt want it to ruin my face makeup. I dont have to do any re-touches, however, if you do want it to last longer than 12 hours, I would use a primer and set it with a Makeup spray. (Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray)

I have really enjoyed using this product, I would repurchase it again when I use up the palette, however, that won't be anytime soon. Hopefully, this palette will last me a very long time. The shadows do break when they are dropped, as they are extreamly soft. The Sudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner In Damsel on the other hand is broken.. I bought it and I went to try it, it would not twist upwards, I dont know if I just got a bad one, however, I saw on another persons blogpost, that their eye liner was broken also.
So... That is all for this post, Comment below what you think of this product! (:

Product Review: L'Oreal Colour Infallibles Pressed Shadows

These pressed shadows are absolutely amazing!!! I love using them as a base before I use my other eye shadows! I love how the colour range is absolutely amazing! I have 3 however, I havent used one of them. Hence why I'll be only reviewing two of the colours today.

The colors are Sahara Treasure and Tender Caramel. I love using these either as a base or just by themselves. Its you use just one of them and blend out the colour a bit more into your crease, its looks as if you have two colours on the lid. 

I love using tender Caramel by itself, because its a beautiful caramel color with some shimmer and a hint of a taupe colour. The colours together are also just beautiful! These pressed shadows are the perfect combination of a loose pigment but also a regular shadows. You can get these pressed shadows at any drug store. $7.99 Canadian

There are downfalls to this product as well, there is some fall out of the product when dropped. There is some shimmer that does fall on to the cheeks when applied with a brush. However, these shadows last all day. A little of this product does go a long way, these are the more pricey shadows than most other drug store shadows. The shadows are crease-free, which I absolutely love, because I do have oily eyelids, and anything crease-free is great! There is no need for a primer as they do last long just by themselves, however, when using a primer, the colours appear more vibrant than without a primer. As for the packaging, its very light and its a plastic unlike the Maybelline Colour Tattoos; as they are glass. The Colour Infallible Pressed Shadows are nice and light, very travel friendly! Overall, I like this product, this would probably a favourite of the month!

Elizabeth Arden Duo Bronzing Powder Mini Review

This bronzer has a 2 beautiful shades, it has shimmer, however, when applied to the hollows of the cheeks little to no shimmer shows up. I love how this bronzer has two shades that you can use either individually or both together! It doesn't show up muddy and it has perfect amount of pigment. It gives you a beautiful sun kissed glow to your face, it ties up everything on my face. Its absolutely perfect and it should be in everyone's make up collection or make up bag. This is my favourite bronzer, I always reach for this bronzer before anything else. This is the smaller version of the Bronzer, there is a full size one. I have been using this bronzer for over 2 years now, this is my 3rd one I bought, I have bought the full size one however, its not very convenient to keep in my make up bag because it is quite bulky. I will keep repurchasing this bronzer until they either discontinue it or when I find one better than this. $34 Canadian

Top 3 Favourite Perfumes

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy

This scent is a gorgeous fruity scent. It has a nice blueberry smell that`s not to overwhelming. I use this whenever I need a long lasting perfume. I honestly dont need to use a lot of this perfume, because about 2 squirts is just enough; a little comes a long way! This perfume is more of a fall and winter scent. This scent is "more on the seductive, and sexier side for sure. This scent is definitely a bit of the "mature" side. The reason "mature" is in quotations is because I would range this perfume around the ages of 17-27.

Marc Jacob's Daisy 

This scent is absolutely beautiful, and it's just a perfume that is reached for very often in my collection. This perfume is very light and it smells like a beautiful bunch of daisies. Its a very light and delicate scent, it's so refreshing! This is a perfect scent for the spring and summer, wearing this perfume makes you smell so fresh and gives a nice floral scent that's not to overwhelming! This scent is just perfect for absolutely anyone!

Christian Dior J'Adore (Limited Edition Bottle)

First thing I noticed about this perfume is that its definitely more on the mature side. This perfume is extremely expensive, however, its worth every penny! I love this perfume so much! The scent is delicate, light, very feminine and sexy. Its a seductive and elegant scent, but yet its not overwhelming. Every time I wear this scent, I always seem to get compliments, a lot more than when i would wear the Daisy Perfume By Marc Jacob. The J'Adore is a floral scent, and has very long lasting power! II absolutely love this perfume, its one of my first perfumes ever. I have got the Limited Edition Bottle which I don't want to use up, its an all gold bottle; its so beautiful and classy, its really expensive but so worth every penny!






















These were not in a particular order.
