Casual Valentine's Day Date Outfit Inspiration

Hey everyone! I don't do fashion posts very often, but today I thought I would post a Valentine's day outfit inspiration for you all! I just recently discovered Polyvore and I'm really addicted! It's the perfect way to do fashion inspiration boards! I love it <3. Anyone else uses Polyvore?

I created these 3 outfits with a casual setting in mind. I don't know about all of you, but whenever I see outfit inspiration that includes dresses and heels I just feel like it's a little much and that I would never personally have an occasion to wear that. Yes, even on Valentine's day I'd be uncomfortable in a dress or skirt. Restaurants or venues that actually require you to dress up are quite rare around here (unless they are incredibly pricey), so I never really have to dress up. Meaning, a cute well-put together outfit, with jeans and a nice top is as dressy as I'll go most of the time, even on a date.

These outfits are for all of you guys that feel the same and that are looking for ideas for a cute romantic outfit for a date or for Valentine's day. Would you wear something like this? Let me know in the comments!

That's all for today! Did you all like this fashion post? I know I don't do them often, but with Polyvore it's really simple so I may start doing more of them. Let me know if you'd be interested to see that :)

NYX Mega Shine Lip gloss Review and Lip Swatches

Hey all! Today I'm reviewing the NYX Mega Shine Lip Glosses for you. I recently purchases two of their lip glosses because I had been wanting to try them for ever! I finally cracked and got them online so I could try them out. I know a lot of people love these on Youtube, so I thought I would tell you what I thought of them.

Review
NYX  Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Natural and Plush Red

Color payoff : The two lip glosses I own have a very good color payoff, but the Plush Red shade really stands out. It's pretty much opaque and will give you a red lip with no red lipstick underneath. I think it's fantastic! The natural shade is made to be, like the name says, more natural looking, so it's a bit more sheer, but it stills offer a good amount of color on the lips.

Texture, Application and Wear : These apply very smoothly to the lips. They're not too sticky, just enough so that they stay on a little while. I wouldn't say these wear exceptionally long since they are, after all, lip glosses. My guess is they would wear about 2 hours without touching up if you don't eat or drink.

Finish : They look very glossy on the lips, especially the plush red shade. Both are a cream finish, meaning that they do not contain glitter or shimmer. That's usually how I prefer my glosses. I believe other shades from this range contain shimmer, but the two I have don't.

Packaging : The packaging is simple and practical. They have a little bow at the top of the cap which is think is a very cute touch. I quite like the packaging.

Scent : The scent of these lip glosses is what I was kind of concerned about before I received them. The reason being that many people on Youtube say that they hate the smell. The smell of the NYX Mega Shine Lip Glosses is quite strong and I understand why some people might not enjoy it. It's a very sweet cherry smell. Personally, it doesn't bother me, and I don't smell it once it's on my lips. If you're very sensitive to smells, you might not like this product though.

Price : 5$ each

Overall : I'm very happy with the NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss shades that I got and with the quality of these glosses in general. I'm thinking of getting more in the near future. I'm not much of a gloss wearer, but since the glosses aren't too sticky, I find them quite comfortable to wear. 8.5/10

Fall Series : Changing Leaves Inspired Makeup Look

As some of you might have realized by now, I'm a big fan of fall. I love everything about it, from the leaves to the weather, the fashion, Halloween, etc. If you want to know what I love about Fall, check out the post I did last year about it!

Since the weather is getting a little chillier lately here in Quebec City I've been inspired to do a fall themed makeup look. I love how nature changed during the autumn and I especially love watching the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. It's probably what I love most about fall. That's why I decided to do a makeup look inspired by all the amazing colors of the leaves during my favorite season of the year.




I love how it turned out and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it looks with green eyes. I bet it would look great on brown eyes too! What do you think? Do you like this look? Also, what's your favorite season of the year? Let me know in the comments! :D

Wet n Wild ColorIcon Blushers Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I have a review of the Color Icon Blusher range from Wet n Wild! There are four of the inexpensive blushers to choose from and today I will share them all with you.


Color Selection : The color selection of this blush range is unfortunately quite limited. While I think the colors that they have are very nice and wearable, I think they are mostly safe options. The colors are also all pretty much in the same color family. I wish they did some brighter pinks, reds, corals, etc. However, the colors are all incredibly pigmented and vibrant.

831E - Pearlescent Pink

832E - Heather Silk


833E - Mellow Wine

834E - Berry Shimmer

Swatches

Texture : Like all Wet n Wild powder products, the texture of these blushers is very soft and buttery feeling.

Finish : Except for Heather Silk, which is matte, these are all shimmery. Pearlescent pink has some glitter in it and Mellow Wine has a very subtle sheen.

Application : Because these are so pigmented and soft, you need to be very careful to apply only a tiny amount otherwise it's easy to over-do it. You also have to take the time to blend it well and make sure it's not patchy because of that. They apply well and blend nicely though.

Packaging : The packaging is nothing special to me, but it's sturdy enough and minimalist. They are easy to travel with and close properly. They are also easy to store because of the thin, rectangular packaging.

Price : 3$

Overall : These are the most inexpensive blushers that I own, yet they are the most pigmented and soft of them all. The color range is limited and I wish more colors were available, but these are overall, amazing blushes and definitely worth the price. I would definitely get more of these if they came out with new colors. 9/10
