Things I Could Not Put Down: May

Hello all my beautiful people. Well todays June 1st! Can you really believe it. Like I swear May went by so fast you coulda missed it in a blink!

I swear time just goes by so fast. Its so true what they say, while you're in high school time goes slow, but the second you're out of it.. the real world takes you under its wing and time just flies by. To think of all the things that happen in a month, and how quickly transitions and changes occur. And now look, all those things may not even matter, or stress you out, or you may not even be thinking about them by the time June is up.

We really need to understand that life just keeps going, regardless of you're situation. And though it may not feel like it, every moment that passes, you grow.

In a months time new experiences and lessons can be learned. Things that we may not think about today, may affect us by the end of the month. Its so unpredictable, even if you lead a predictable life.

On that note... 

Summer is defiantly on its way, and I wanted to share some of my favourite items that I could not put down this past month.

Some of these are oldies but goodies, things I re-found in my collection!

MAC Blush in Peachykeen - let me tell you something, for me using this blush for as long as I've had it, I'm shocked I have not hit pan yet! This is the perfect everyday blush, it goes with so many looks. It has a slight sheen to it, but nothing to crazy. I still load up with highlighter on top. It just makes your cheeks look beautifully flushed. This baby is something that I'll keep going to for a long while.

Review: LUSH Mask of Magnaminty

Hello all,

Today I wanted to talk about facial masks. I myself, love doing mask treatments. My skin is always so happy after, and my makeup glides on that much easier. We all know that what you put on your skin, (and of course diet) are the major predictors of how your skin will look on the outside. Once in awhile, your skin needs a treat to get rid of makeup clogged pores, dry dead skin, and promote cell turnover. 

Cell Turnover?? Whats that you ask?! Well this is the process of when your new skin cells can reach the surface. Ever wonder how babies have smooth, plump skin? Well its because babies cells turnover about every 14 days. Now if your in your twenties, such as myself, you can expect your cells to turn over ever 30-40 days. and trust me, it continues to just get worse from there. Besides masks, regular exfoliation, or even microdermabrasion if you can afford it, promote the cell turnover process by getting rid of the dead cells, making way for the new cells to come to surface. 

Okay after that little skin lesson, lets actually get into this. 

I'm Kinda A Nudist

Hello all my loves,

Hope that this week started out beautifully for all of you. For me, today is a day of relaxation after a quite hectic weekend. First of all, I need to just say, putting together a camp for 22 children is a lot of work. Holy, who knew that 8 year olds would want to, let alone actually, stay up till 4:30AM. I swear I could barely do that in my prime partying days. HA. 

Okay lets get into it. By this title, you may be confused, that is if you are not an avid lippie lover such as myself. Nudes, I love em all. Glosses, lipsticks, chap sticks, you name it. If it comes in a nude, I'm probably going to buy it and obsessively put it on my lips. So I decided to share some of my favourite nudes with you guys today. Swatches and all!

Welcome to the nudist resort ;)

Quick Tip: Curling Lashes

Are you one of the people not blessed with gorgeous curled lashes? Do your lashes droop fast just after curling and applying mascara?

Yeah? Me too. 

My lashes are naturally VERY straight, and even point down for that fact, which make it incredibly hard to get those beautiful long curled lashes. Because they are so straight, they do not hold a curl at all, and barley budge when I take a curler to them. You can imagine my frustration. Mascara just doesn't look right when its on straight lashes!!

But, alas, about 7 years ago I figured out a trick that works and have been using it ever since!

Its so simple and quick you can easily incorporate it into your routine

First make sure that your eyelash curler is CLEAN, especially for this technique. It can turn into a hot mess real fast if you don't do this. 

Secondly, use a straightener, or hair dryer and apply the heat to the curler for about 4-6 seconds! No longer!

Thirdly, Tests the curlers temp on the back of your hand, or wrist before putting it directly onto your eye. Metal heats very fast and I can tell you right now it is not fun to burn your eye with a curler. Learn from my mistake!

Curl as normal, you will not have to pump the curler to many times because the heat will set it faster. 

And volla! A beautifully curled eyelash that will stay in place all day!

Another Tip: Using a waterproof mascara is crucial for us straight lashes kids, waterproof has more wax in it, which will help hold the curl. I have tried using regular mascara and it just droops my lash back down because of the water based formula!

If you really hate waterproof mascara try just adding a base layer, letting it dry, and then going in with a regular mascara of your choice overtop. You just need that first layer as a sealant for the curl!

Hope this helped you guys!

Comment if you've tried this method before, or have any other methods for curling lashes!

5 Things You Should Not Forget To Do!

Hello all my lovelies,

So I was thinking today, about how easy it is to get caught up in life, and forget some of the beauty faux pas that we all happen to forget on a day to day basis. But really, who has time to clean this and do that properally. We all love shortcuts, and though it may not be laziness, trying to finish a paper for school, or a project for work seems a bit more important than say cleaning your eyelash curler. Am I right or what? So I had a look around and thought about all the beauty mishaps that I have caught myself, or others doing and compiled this little reminding compilation.

So I know that we are all guilty of doing this makeup mishaps, but here are some that we really should not forget!
