Eyebrow Love Beauty Tag

Hey everyone, so I've gotten into eyebrows quite recently. I used to think that my brows were great with nothing on, but my opinion has changed quite drastically in the last year. Since I have so little experience with my own brows, I'm super curious about other people's experience with brow makeup, grooming, etc. Since eyebrows are really trendy in the beauty community right now, I thought I would take this opportunity to create an eyebrow tag! I don't know if tags such as this one already exist, but I personally have never seen one around! If it does, sorry, but I'm still curious to know what you guys' answers to these questions!


I tag everyone who read this to answer the questions either on your blog or in the comments! If you do answer it, link it to me so that I can read your answers :D







1) Do you get your brows done or do you do them yourself?
2) How often do you groom your brows?
3) Do you tweeze or wax (or thread?)
4) At what age did you start taking care of your brows?
5) Do you use an eyebrow razor or scissors to groom your brows?
6) Do you mind the dark brows, light hair look?
7) Which eyebrow shape are you rocking right now?
8) What is your favorite eyebrow product?
9) Pencil, shadow, pomade or gel?
10) Do you prefer a waxy pencil or a softer one?
11) Have you ever tried eyebrow pens? What did you think?
12) What color do you generally use to fill in your brows?
13) Do you prefer defined brows or a softer look?
14) Do you like the Instagram brow trend? Would you wear them?
15) How long does it take you to do your brows in the morning?
16) Do you have a unibrow?
17) What are your main concerns with your brows?
18) Give us your best tip for great eyebrows!
19) Have your brows evolved throughout the years? If so, post a before and after!



1) Do you get your brows done or do you do them yourself?
I do them myself, would love to get them professionally done sometime though, but I'm a little afraid of having them wrecked :/

2) How often do you groom your brows?
It greatly varies, I groom them every time I do a makeup look for the blog, but in a day-to-day basis I would say 2-3 times a month maybe? My eyebrows are pretty pale and don't grow that quickly.

3) Do you tweeze or wax (or thread?)
I tweeze and always have. I'd like to try threading though.

4) At what age did you start taking care of your brows?
I think I was around 14 or 15, but I only started filling them in this past year.

5) Do you use an eyebrow razor or scissors to groom your brows?
Nope, I don't have enough brows for that I don't think.

6) Do you mind the dark brows, light hair look?
Mostly I don't, but if the contrast is extreme sometimes it bothers me. Some gals really rock the look though, so it depends!

7) Which eyebrow shape are you rocking right now?
Mine are pretty round and thin, but that's my natural shape so, yeah, I couldn't get into the full brows trend even if I wanted :p

8) What is your favorite eyebrow product?
I love the Maybelline Define a brow pencil and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade.

9) Pencil, shadow, pomade or gel?
I love them all and I feel like I can get a different look with each product so I used them according to the look I'm going for. Lately I do the pomade most often.

10) Do you prefer a waxy pencil or a softer one?
I prefer a softer pencil, but not too soft and I don't want it too pigmented either.

11) Have you ever tried eyebrow pens? What did you think?
I haven't, but I would be curious to try them!

12) What color do you generally use to fill in your brows?
Usually the palest I can find! I use blonde in the dipbrow pomade, dark blonde in the Maybelline pencil, Light in Milani brow kit, etc.

13) Do you prefer defined brows or a softer look?
I like both. If I'm going for a natural barely there look I usually do softer brows, but for bold looks I like defined brows.

14) Do you like the Instagram brow trend? Would you wear them?
I love them, I think they are amazing! I do feel like they are a bit much for my face though, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying them :)

15) How long does it take you to do your brows in the morning?
I do them once in a while and usually it takes about 2-3 minutes. I take longer if I do a really defined brow.

16) Do you have a unibrow?
Yep, I have to tweeze them, the hair isn't very dark in between my brows thankfully :p


17) What are your main concerns with your brows?
I have a few bald patches here and there and they are difficult to fill in.

18) Give us your best tip for great eyebrows!
For me, applying with a light hand always gives best results. I also like to layer a few different products to add dimension to my brows.

19) Have your brows evolved throughout the years? If so, post a before and after!
I never tweezed my brows that much, they simply do not grow thick so in terms of shape they are the same, but I fill them in now and I think it looks a whole lot better!

That's all for my tag! Hope you all enjoyed this a I hope some of you answer the questions :D

Sparkly Blue Jay Inspired Makeup using Darling Girl Cosmetics

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a makeup look I did recently using Darling Girl Cosmetics shadows. This wasn't a planned makeup look, I just felt like  experimenting with colors and techniques and came up with this. I feel like it looks sort of blue jay inspired though (hence the name), I did a sandwich technique for the eyeshadow (is that how you call it?), a colored brow, colored liner and really cool feather lashes. (which were freaking hard to apply by the way XD) I love the results, it's so whimsical and colorful! What do you all think?





 Products used :

Base
  • Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer
  • NYX Eyeshadow Primer in Skin Tone
Eyeshadow & Brows

Flirty Night Out Look for Spring using Darling Girl Cosmetics

So even thought it's still cold out here (it snowed earlier this week), it's now officially spring and I'm excited. I'm trying to get into it even though the weather is failing me. So since I can't do spring clothing yet, I've decided I would go for spring makeup! At least my interpretation of it. I also felt like playing around with my Darling Girl Cosmetics shadow which I hadn't used lately (not gonna lie, I haven't been wearing much makeup this winter). Anyhow, this is what I went for! It's a night out flirty look for spring, the skin is super dewy and fresh and the makeup is a pretty shimmery purple-ish eye. I really enjoy this look, what do you all think?






Products used :

  • Elf Eyeshadow Primer
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde
  • Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Palette
  • Darling Girl Cosmetics shadows in Sirena (inner corner), Icognito (middle lid) and Dark Heart (outer lid and creaser)
  • Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara
  • E.l.f. Liquid Liner in Black

 Shocker, I'm not wearing any false lashes here! I don't even know when was the last time I didn't wear any on the blog. I didn't feel like putting them on today. Also, my hair hates it when I try to curl it so it's pretty wild, just ignore it :P

Current Beauty Wishlist (2015)

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing my current beauty wishlist with you all! It's been quite a few months since I last did one of these and at the moment there are a few goodies I've been wanting to get my hands on. I'm not sure how much of these products I will actually get (most of it is high end and I don't have an infinite budget unfortunately), but I kind of like to see it all assembled in one swoon worthy collage.

Current Beauty Wishlist (2015)


As you can see, I'm really into foundations and eyeshadows lately. I'm looking to get my first high end foundation and I'm not sure which one would work best for me. Have any of you guys tried these products? What did you think? Which foundation should I get? Let me know in the comments!

My 7 Days Caribbean Cruise in Pictures

Hey everyone! Recently I went on a 7 days Caribbean cruise with my boyfriend and his mom. Ever since, I've been preparing a travel series (packing, beach essentials, in-flight essentials, etc.) for you guys. I thought I would also share a few of my favorite snapshots in case you all are interested!

The cruise was 7 days with 4 stops : Grand Turk, St-Thomas, San Juan and Half Moon Cay. This was my first cruise so I did loads of research before hand to help me pack and know what to expect. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely love to go cruising again!

We chose to go with the Eurodam from Holland America. I truly enjoyed my experience and I would like to try other cruise companies in the future to compare and chose my favorite. (Disney being high on the list!) One of the big plus I found while cruising was the amazing food everyday on the ship. I decided not to include any pics of the food in here because I know not everyone is into that. Instead I'll dedicate a full separate post on the food so if you're not interested, you can skip it!

Setting sail on the first day

 I really love this picture of the boyfriend and I! It was at the pier in San Juan

The pier in Saint-Thomas. This was the catamaran we went snorkeling on that day.

That's pretty much it! I have over 700 pictures of the trip, but I tried my best to select just a few. Also I didn't include any with my mother in law because I'm not sure she would like to be on here, but I do have a few of my favorite pictures with her in it. I might add a few in the future if I get her ok! Let me know if you've ever been on a cruise and what your thoughts were! Would you ever go again? Hope you all enjoyed this post and have a wonderful week!

Crazy Food Tag

Hey everyone! Here comes another tag! I've been slacking and not posting these for a while, but I had them all written down and everything for you. Here's another one that is pretty old by new, but since I love food so much I thought I would post it anyway. This one is for all the other food lovers that are reading this, hope you all enjoy and I tag you all to do it as well!

♥ Questions ♥
1. What food could you eat everyday? Sushi and probably ramen
2. What's your favorite restaurant? That's a really tough choice! If I'm really treating myself then I would say Yasuda in NYC. If we're thinking local, I guess Kimono here in Quebec City. I also love Ramen Ya, Le Pied de Cochon and Kanda. Argh I can't choose!
3. What city has the best food you've ever had? NYC
4. What do you get on your sub? Lettuce and cucumber, pretty boring huh?
5. What do you get on your pizza? pepperoni, bacon and mushrooms
6. Is there a food you've always wanted to try? pumpkin pie! I think I might have had some when I was little, but I can't remember the taste 
7. Tell me about your worse restaurant experience. Having backpacked a lot, I've had quite a few aweful restaurant experiences and I can't remember one in particular that was the worst. There was also this place in my city which does Libanese food. First off, the authenticity was severely lacking (Lebanese place serving brown gravy anyone? Also the execution was terrible. I can remember distinctly how much my mom was appalled by the placed even being called Lebanese - not that I'm an expert or anything, but this place is really bad people)
8. Who's a better cook; your mom or dad? My mom does most of the cooking
9. What is one food you just fail at making? Eggs over easy, I always break the yolks -_-
10. Name your least favorite foods. raw tomatoes, tapioca (or rice pudding) and relish
11. Raw or cooked veggies? Both!
12. How do you like your steak? Rare
13. Do you enjoy cooking or baking better? I love the idea of baking, but I'm not that into sweets, so in reality I much prefer cooking. 
14. What's your fav fast food place & can you name 5 items off of the menu? A&W! And no I don't think I can name 5 things because I always order the same thing, the Mozza burger :)
15. Name a food place you wish was closer to you. All the ramen shops in NYC ♥ Also I wish there was a good Lebanese restaurant closer. I really miss it since I used to eat it all the time back home.
16. Ultimate fav desert. Cheesecake
17. What food do you gravitate more towards at a party or get together? Bread XD I have a serious problem with bread, I simply cannot stop eating it.
18. Favorite food to eat at Christmas? Meat pie :)
19. What's the first food that comes to mind... NOW? Tikka Masala chicken, because that's what's cooking in the slow cooker at the moment and it smells delicious in here.
20. Do you have any weird food habits? I like to put pepper in my soup for some reason. Other than that nothing I think.
21. What holiday is your favorite for food? Definitely Christmas
22. What's one food you would NEVER try? Anything pertaining to bugs, yuck :/
23. Do you know your best friends favorite food? Well I'm not sure he has a favorite food per say, but he's a huuuuge fan of ramen.
24. What's the best thing your mom makes? That's a tough one! I love her stew, her gumbo sandwiches, her glazed carrots, her lasagna, her lemon chicken, her banana bread, There's too many to choose from :p
25. What's your favorite style of eggs: Scrambled, boiled, poached, over easy or sunny side up? Over easy all the way for me
26. Name your favorite restaurant that closed down. The steakhouse where I got engaged and went to my three first valentine's day with the boyfriend closed a few years ago and I was really bummed out about it. Not only was it a place filled with memories for us, but the food and service was also great. At home I'm not much of a red meat eater, but I do enjoy a good steak when we eat out and they did a great fillet mignon. They even had a kick ass cheese fondue one year. I really miss the place.
27. Do you like your bread toasted light or dark? Light!  I prefer when it's still quite soft and not too crunchy.
28. Do you like spicy food? I love it dearly :)
29. Seafood? Nom ♥ I've discovered a very fond love for scallops recently!
30. First food that comes to mind that is green? Asparagus

That's all for this food tag! Hope you all enjoyed and have a wonderful week!

Beauty Scenario Tag

Hey everyone! Quick tag for you all today! I'm quite late on the bandwagon with this one, but better late than never right?


THE QUESTIONS: 
1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?

The question is pretty easy for me as far as high end goes. I don't own any high end foundations. For the drugstore part of the question, I think I would go with Covergirl Stay Fabulous foundation. I love the coverage and finish and I could always mix it up with some moisturizer to make it more sheer.


2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?

I depends how comfortable the person makes me feel, but frankly I would have to feel very comfortable to bring that up which is unlikely to happen in an interview.

3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?


Lip balm! I'm really not much of a lip person. I always feel like it makes me look odd. I would chose a slippery balm that looks a little shiny on the lips. Other than that I rarely go for makeup on the days where I need a pick me up. I'd probably do a spa evening thing at home (bubble bath, face mask, candles and a drink) or have a nice meal instead.


4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?

I would part my hair to the side and stay away from home colorations. For makeup, well I wasn't wearing any. I did have a small phase where I would put white liner on my top lid which looked hideous. I would definitely stay way from that!

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.

Definitely complain. That is a very big mistake. However, I don't see how that would happen. I'd definitely stop the hairdresser when I saw where things were headed so I wouldn't end up with super short hair.

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?

Urban decay Naked Basics for sure. I has everything I need for simple day time looks. I might also bring the Smashbox Full Exposure Travel palette for some shimmer. That's what I did recently when I went on a cruise and it was a great combo!

7. Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe?

That's kind of a silly question :p I guess I would be most sad if any of my high end products went missing (I don't have many and I cherish them!). So probably my Naked Palettes of my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette.

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs 

I don't lend my makeup to other people, so that solves the issue :p

That's it for this tag! Hope you all enjoyed reading it!
