I Don't Know What to Name This : Colorful Summer Makeup

Mexico Vacation Recap

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around much lately and I'm super sorry about it! I've been on vacation and right now I'm doing an internship in Montreal which means I haven't been home in over 3 weeks. I find it very hard to blog out here, but I'm trying to put a few things together for you all in the mean time.

I tought I would do a quick recap of my Mexico vacation first. We went for a week to Playa Del Carmen in an all inclusive resort. We don't usually enjoy resorts all that much, but this time we had lots of fun. We mainly wanted to rest and recuperate from the long school year so the choice was perfect for us.

The Rivera Maya drink, so yummy and really festive looking <3

Relaxing in the adult-only jetted pool. It was really worth getting the upgrade!

I really love this outfit! I got the shorts at Simons for 28$, great buy!

The resort we went to was an eco resort and there were tons of animals on the property. Look at this cute little fella :D

Loved the white sand beach <3

Enjoying drinks on the beach :) good times!

The adult-only pool was great :)

We went on 4 scuba dives during our one week stay. The diving in Riviera Maya is pretty expensive, but it was totally worth it! This is the dive shop where we booked our two cenote dives and the two beach dives (we saw sea turtles whooo!)

The view from behind the lobby bar. There was entertainment there at night :)

Hope you enjoyed these few pictures of my vacation to Mexico! It was a lot of fun and I would totally go back. I'm itching to go backpacking now though. As much as this vacation was relaxing, I'm ready for a bit more exploring and adventure now :D Hopefully I'll be able to go backpacking soon! I have a short roadtrip to the US planned or the end of the summer, which should be fun as well. Let me know if you'd like me to blog about it <3

Are you planning any vacation/trips in the future? Let me know! I'd love to know about it :)

Fun Wearable Summer Night Makeup using Darling Girl Cosmetics

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've busted out my DGC shadows last, so I felt like having a little fun with them the other night. Since the weather has been nicer recently, I've been inspired to do more summer appropriate looks. Now this look is quite deep and dark, but with the shimmer and the hint of purple, I feel like it would be great for a summer night out. Let me know what you think!

I'm not entirely sure I remember the shadows I used to do this. I think I did L'Oréal Infallible Shadow in Tender Caramel as a base all over the lid and then I built over that. I think I did Dark Heart and Dark Crystal in the crease and outer corners and Beluga Bebe on the inner lid, but I could be wrong! Sorry about that :S I totally forgot to make notes of the colors I used. :( Hope you still enjoyed this!

Colors of the Rainbow Tag

Hey everyone! Today I'm doing the colors of the rainbow tag! I've seen this tag floating around the Internet for a while now and I think it's a lot of fun so I'm doing it for you today :)

I chose products that I love to represent each of the rainbow's colors. I think some of the colors are a bit different (blue instead of indigo, purple instead of violet) and I added pink also, but you get the point right? :P Anyway, let's get started!

♥ My rainbow favorites ♥

~ Red ~

For most of these, I went with the color of the packaging, since I don't have that many green or yellow makeup items per say. However, for red, I went for the color of the actual product rather than the packaging. I chose the Cherry Babylips by Maybelline. It's a nice red lipbalm that gives off a sheer tint of red to the lips and smells heavenly!

~ Orange ~

I got this face wash recently. I'm in love with the scrubbie thing that comes with it. It makes my face feel nice and clean, but also refreshed. The pretty orange bottle matches my current bathroom color scheme which is a bonus!

~ Yellow ~

This is another product that I got recently. It's the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil. It seems to leave my hair just as soft and shiny as my Chi Silk Infusion, but for a fraction of the price. I paid 8$ for this pretty big bottle. I also love that it is in spray form, which is a lot less messy. The smell is also wonderful. Love this! ♥

~ Green ~

This is the Clump Crusher mascara by Covergirl. It's probably my favorite mascara of all time. I've been using it nonstop ever since I got it back in January. It's probably time to replace it now, but it's still going strong. Makes my lashes super full and long without clumping. Best mascara ever! :)

~ Blue ~

I've been using this makeup remover on and off for years now. I have tried out a few other brands, but I keep going back to this Neutrogena Oil-Free one. As you can see, I'm almost through with this bottle as well. It works great to remove all my eye makeup, including waterproof mascara.

~ Purple ~

For purple, I chose this loose shadow by Darling Girl Cosmetics. Now, I have a ton of purple shadows in my collection, but this one was really a standout for me. It is magnificent. It's a beautiful light purple color with a strong blue/turquoise shift. It looks simply amazing when applied. If you're curious about how it looks on, check out the looks I made using it here and here.

 ~ Pink ~

 Lastly, for pink, I chose this aptly named body spray from Pink by Victoria Secret. This is the Wild at heart scent. I picked it up a couple months ago on a trip to Montreal and ever since it has been my go-to everyday scent. It's light and citrusey, which I love for summer. Great fragrance!
