Tip:Add a Splash of Colour!

Hello everyone! I know there are many of you out there that just love the classic cat-eye look, especially if it is done with inky, black eyeliner. It's perfect for literally ever occasion, and can be transformed to suit your mood at a moment's notice. To expand your repertoire of handy cat eye looks, why not add a splash of colour into the mix? There are literally endless possibilities, but one of my favourite combos is a happy blue liner on the lower lash line and smudged a bit with a Q-tip, which gives your eyes that ethereal effect.What are your favourite ways to dress up black liner?



























Happy Saturday

Rainy Day Manicure

Hello my wonderful reads! How are all of you today? Today was a very rainy Sunday, perfect for just staying indoors and watching movies.I was out for most of the day, doing a few errands,but came home and snuggled under a blanket, watching Spider-Man 3(one of those movies you see 5 million times, yet still enjoy watching haha). It would rain one moment, and be sunny the next, as well as a bit chilly. Not exactly May weather, in my opinion. At least it hasn't snowed yet, as it has happened a few times in May.

For those of you that live in Canada, you are probably getting the most out of this May long-weekend, before school/work resumes, because of Victoria Day. I have school off until Tuesday, then back to work :( Oh well, I had Friday off, so I guess that should suffice.

Before I sign off for the night, here is a picture of the manicure I gave myself today. It is a simple design that I've been meaning to try for a while. Here is a list of the colours used:

Caribbean Cockail -Sephora by OPI collection07
Shining- Sally Hansen Laquer Shine Nail Colour
5 Minute French Manicure White Tip Pen-Sally Hansen


That's all for today! The blue colour is one of my favourites, as it is perfect for wearing all year round. I hope you all enjoy your long weekend.




Happy May Long Weekend

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil Review


Hello you wonderful readers! How are you? Today’s review will be on the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. I originally purchased this product from one of the Shopper’s Drugmart in my hometown. It came in set, which contained the eye pencil in Zero (can be described as a carbon black), the same type of eye pencil in the shade Ransom (deep eggplant), as well as a bonus Grindhouse eye pencil sharpener. I should have posted this earlier, but I wasn’t feeling well last week, which knocked my whole schedule out of orbit. Well, on to the review!

Urban Decay is known for their high quality, cruelty free, vegan –friendly, products. That may have been a mouth full on its own terms, but it’s purely good stuff. I have a ton of eyeliners, I won’t lie, which automatically makes me an expert on this subject (kidding, don’t own THAT many liners). 

The liners are enriched with jojoba oil, which means they will not dry out and turn waxy like other liners I have tried. These pencil liners glide on smoothly, and effortlessly, and do not tug on the delicate eyelids. They are easy to smudge, within the first minute or so, and then the liner will not budge afterwards, which is a plus. Usually, with waterproof eyeliners, you can never get the product to be able to do both. 


 I really admire the fact that the pencils are creamy, and highly pigmented,so you do not have to apply a lot of pressure, when lining your eyes. The picture below, is my eyeliner, after wearing it for about 12 hours, and it the line is still opaque. usually, the liner will start  to fade by the end of the day, or even start to smudge down to my lower lashes. I did not have this problem with these eyeliners, and I am truly impressed. 

Another great feature, is how easy it is to remove at the end of the day, with my makeup remover. Yes, this is a waterproof product, butt I found that it could be whisked  away from my eyelids, without a lot of effort. This is a great feature, as it saves you a lot of time, when removing your makeup.


Now, it's time for the verdict! This product is effortlessly easy to use, without any hassle: no messy smudges, no fading, and no disappointment. These are some of the best liners that you can come across, so please consider trying them out if given the opportunity.  You can buy this wonderful eye pencil duo, ( which have a few other colour combinations), from Shoppers' Drugmart ($30 CAD), and the other respectable establishments. I hope you enjoyed my review, thank you for reading.






Happy Spring
