Shaaanxo's Neon Graphic Eyeliner Recreation

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a recreation I did today of one of Shaaanxo's recent makeup looks. I really liked how edgy the neon chartreuse eyeliner she did was so I kind of wanted to try and do it on myself. I didn't have a color similar to the one she used so instead I used a bright green color and I changed up the lip color to better match the green I chose.

I quite like the way this turned out! What do you all think?

Korean Beauty Store Haul

As some of you might already know if you've read my last post, I found a Korean beauty store in my local china town. I'm really excited about this, I had no idea we had any! I was kind of overwhelmed by the discovery and I'm still doing the 10$/week budget for makeup so I didn't go too crazy, but I did pick up a few things! The makeup items will be included in my 10$/week budget which I will update you all on very soon!

• Darkness lashes - They had a bunch of lashes at the store. They were only 4 to 5 $ a piece, really affordable! I haven't tried them yet since I don't have any lash glue on hand at the moment, but I'll update you all on what I think soon! :)
• Crystal Jelly Cheek Pot in the color 01 by Tony Moly - the texture of this blush is crazy odd, but so far I'm loving this product! It's now in my makeup bag and I use it everyday. I think I'd like to pick up a few more colors and make a full review. Anyone interested?
• Party Lover Liquid Eye Liner by Tony Moly - OMG this eyeliner! It's going into my monthly favorites for sure <3. I didn't know about the Tony Moly brand, but I'm mad impressed!
• Nail polish remover - nothing too exciting, I needed some and I decided to try this one because it was cheap :)
• Sheet masks - I'm so excited I finally got  my hands on sheet masks! I've seen people rave about them forever now. Can't wait to try them out <3

---

That's all I got at the Korean beauty shop but I'm saving my budget to go back and pick up some BB cream a glitter liner and a bunch more probably! Let me know if there are any Korean specific brands or products that I should try! Everything looks so cute and awesome :D

L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I have a review on the L'Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner. I picked it up recently because I was wondering how it would compare to other drugstore gel liner that I have tried. Also, my Wet n Wild Gel liner dried up on me a couple months ago so I have been using mostly liquid since then. I wanted to get back into gel liner because I love how it looks so I decided to give this one a try. I have been playing around with it for a little while now so I decided to review it for you all, in case any of you are looking to try out a new gel liner from the drugstore!

Review

Packaging : I quite like the packaging. It feels durable and closes tightly. The glass jar makes the packaging looks almost a bit fancy which I like. My only concern with it is that the metallic gold lid of the jar get dirty really quickly. As you can see, mine already has a bunch of fingerprints on it and I haven't owned it that long.

Color payoff : This liner is as black as you can get it one single swipe. I'm quite impressed by how dark it is. It really makes your eyes pop when applied.

Texture, Application and Wear : This gel liner is exceptionally creamy and it glides on easily when applied with a fine liner brush or an angled brush. So far, it seems to wear nicely, without rubbing or flaking off like some liners do. It remains as intensely pigmented all day as when you first apply it. What I have yet to discover though is how quickly this product dries out. I used to love my Wet n Wild cream liner, but it dry up on me in only a couple months. I will keep you posted on that later on.

Finish : This liner has a matte finish.

Price : 10-12$ depending on where you buy it.

Overall : I'm not 100% sure how much I like this yet, just because I don't know if it'll dry up quickly. If it does, than I'd rather spend 3$ on a Wet n Wild one instead of 10-12$. If it doesn't than I'll gladly pay a little more to be able to use more of my product. Other than that, I'm thrilled with this gel liner. The pigmentation is fantastic and it's the creamiest Drugstore Gel Liner I have tried so far. It is a little bit on the pricey side for a drugstore product, but most gel liners I have seen are around the same price point (the Maybelline Eye Studio one is also 10-12$) so I guess it's alright. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a nice drugstore gel liner that is very creamy and very black. 9/10

Swatches

That's all for today's review! I hope this was helpful to you all! Have you tried this gel liner? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!

Summer Makeup : Neutral Eye With Electric Blue Liner

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a summer makeup look using a new electric blue liner that I just got recently. I think it's super wearable and it's an easy way to wear color in the summer time. 

For the neutral part of the this look I used the Naked 2 Palette. I did Bootycall on the lid, Snakebite in the crease and blended it out with Tease. I have Verve in the inner corner and more Snakebite on the lower lashline. The blue liner is from Personnelle.

For fun, I added a metallic darker blue LA Girl liner in the outer part of the liner to do some sort of gradient effect. I think it looks nice!

That's it for this post! Hope you enjoyed it! Would you ever wear something like this? Let me know in the comments. Also since I've finished the My Little Pony Series I'd love it if you all could give me ideas and suggestion of makeup looks you'd like to see on my blog in the future! ♥

April 2013 Beauty Favorites!

Hey everyone! Now that April is over, it's time for monthly favorites ♥

April has been quite hectic for me with school and everything, so the month went by super fast. I can hardly believe may is just around the corner already! It's finally getting warmer here in Quebec City so that's definitely making me quite excited for summer. My trimester will be over in just a little over three days, but unfortunately, my summer trimester is starting next Monday :( 

---

Anyway, let's get started with my Beauty Favorites 

  I have quite a few new favorites to share with you all this month :) 

♥ Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover - This is a repurchase, just as gentle and efficient as I remembered! It works great with waterproof mascara too (which I have been into lately).

♥ Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes - I probably mentioned this a million times on my blog now. I just cannot get enough of these! I was super glad to get these again in April since I had run out and had to get by with another brand for a couple weeks. 

♥ Samani Makeup Brush Cleaner - This is very new to me. I've never had brush cleaner before. I really like this, it gets the product out of my brushes instantly so I can use them to apply multiple colors.

♥ L'Oréal Kids Tangle Tamer - Seems to work ok for detangling (my hair isn't all that tangly usually), but the smell is absolutely fabulous. It smells like yummy pears, it's awesome :D

♥ Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Clear - I've gotten into filling my eyebrows lately (especially if I'm going to take pictures, it looks a lot more put together). This is a cheap and efficient way to keep my brows looking tidy.

♥ Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Kohl in Nude - I love this on the waterline. It makes your eyes look bright and awake. If I'm going for a natural look, I much prefer nude to white. This pencil is super creamy as well, I wish it came in more colors.

♥ Bonne Bell Liplites - Not sure what this one if called but it's  a creamy medium pink color. It smells like vanilla cake, yummy!

♥ NYX Eyeshadow Base in Nude - This is a great primer for eye shadow, it really helps the shadow stick to the lids. I also love that it is tinted because it hides all the little veins in my eyes.

♥ Kiss 05 Lashes - These look great on. They're not too overpowering, but they're still long and dramatic! They're also super comfortable and light.

♥ Sally Hansen Nail Polish in Pacific Blue - I've had this for a couple years now and it hasn't dried up. Love this color for spring :)

♥ Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - I bought two of these at the beginning of the month. One for myself and one for my giveaway. I have been using mine constantly. I love everything about it! I think I might do a full review about it soon, would you be interested in that? Let me know!

♥ Lush Shampoo Bar in Seanik - I'm super impressed with this! The smell is very nice (even though I was skeptical at first, it seemed a bit salty for a hair product), it leaves my hair feeling super clean and weightless and it rinses off really well. To my surprise it lathers very well too. I love this.

And now my Favorite Accessories for this month

♥ Bracelets from Ardène (except the gold bracelet on the left which is from Suzy) - This month I have been loving the combination of gold, white and turquoise. It looks great paired with peach, pink and cream :)

Hair clip from Ardène - I got it from a surprise baggie (Yes my friends and I  still get those 2 for 5$ surprise bags because we're just like little kids :P) Usually we get mostly rubbish from them, (once my friend got an awesome owl necklace though) but this time I got this hair clip. At first I didn't think much of it, until I tried it in my hair. It's is so strong for it's tiny size I can't even believe it. I have a ton of hair and it can hold my bun all day, no hair bands or bobby pins required. I'm getting a million of these for sure!

♥ Necklaces from Forever 21 - The first one is a dainty bow and the other one has an awesome feather on it. I love them because I feel like I can pair these with so many outfits!

That's all for this month's beauty favorites! What were your favorites this month? Let me know! I'm on the hunt for good Spring/Summer bright nail polishes :)

February 2013 Beauty Favorites

Since February is almost over, it's time for monthly favorites!

Here's a view of all the products I've been loving this month! 

♥ Lip Products : Carmex lipbalm and Maybelline Babylips lipbam (the minty one). 

Both very smooth and healing. I hate the way the Carmex smells/tastes, but it does a wonderful job helping my poor chapped lips!

 ♥ Face Products :  Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, Maybelline BB Cream and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation. 

The powder is great for helping my foundation stay on longer and it doesn't look cakey. As for the foundation, I love the dewy, silky finish it has. The coverage is pretty good too, without making it look like you're wearing a mask. The BB cream has light coverage and a pretty high SPF making it perfect for days I don't want to wear makeup, but still want to reduce the appearance of redness. I'm almost out of it (it's a super tiny container) and it's a bummer because it's not sold here in Quebec.

♥ Skincare : Bioderma makeup remover, Soap & Glory Hand Food and Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10

All amazing products in my book. The Bioderma is expensive, but I love how it removes every bit of dirt from my skin without being harsh (my skin is quite sensitive). It doesn't leave a tight feeling behind which is great since my skin is dry. As far as Hand Food goes, I really like the smell and the packaging. It's not too oily and absorbs really quickly. It's not my favorite hand cream ever, but it's definitely a favorite. Finally Persa-Gel has been one of my favorite products for at least a year now. It's super effective at clearing any blemish I might have. This is a new tube I've got whilst in Vegas a few weeks ago. It's a stronger formula than what I can get here in Quebec (I think you need a prescription for that here).

♥ Nails : Sally Hansen Fiamond Strength Nail Color in Diamonds. 

Not much to say about this other than it's super pretty over everything.

♥ Brushes : All from Eco Tools; Blending brush, Large Shading brush and Kabuki brush. 

Eco Tools is still my favorite makeup brush brand so far (who knows it might change now that I got a bunch of brushes by Real Techniques). All of their brushes are incredibly soft and apply products wonderfully. The blending brush is my favorite that I own, and I love the shading brush for my browbone highlight. The kabuki is tiny and I love it for travel.

♥ Eye Products : Milani Liquif'Eye metallic eye liner pencil, Wet' n Wild Gel liner in black, Cover Girl the Clump Crusher Mascara, Wet' n Wild single eyeshadow in Nutty, The Balm Nude'Tude Palette and Stila In the Lights Palette

First off, the pencil is a repeat favorite. I've never had a liner so black and creamy. It applies without any pressure and it doesn't rub off easily. It's super affordable too! The gel liner is another purchase from Vegas. For some reason, this products isn't for sale here in Quebec. It's really cheap (4$ I think, compared to my Maybelline one which is at least 11$), super black and really creamy. Instant favorite!  The mascara is a product I'm kind of surprised to like. I was not a fan of the Lash Blast mascara and this is in the same collection. This mascara is amazing. It truly doesn't clump and the volume is very buildable. The curved brush is easy to use and I kind of love the packaging :)

Now for the eyeshadow : 

First off the Nude'tude palette which I adore. It pretty much has every color I need for everyday wear, plus a large mirror  which makes it perfect for travel! The shadows are ultra buttery and pigmented. Couldn't be happier with this palette. ♥

my favorites colors from the Nude'tude palette

my favorites colors from the Nude'tude palette

I've had this palette by Stila for a while now. I love every color in the palette, but I have a few clear favorites. The matte beige shade is my perfect browbone highlighter and the matte pale brown is a great transition color. I love the shimmery colors for all over the lid. Just like the The Balm palette, the colors are very pigmented and easy to work with.

my favorites colors from the In the Lights Palette :  bare, kitten , bliss, champagne

Wet'n Wild Nutty Eyeshadow

From left to right : nutty, bare, kitten , bliss, champagne,  stubborn, stand-offish, selfish, sultry, seductive

 Those are my favorites for the month of February. Have you tried any of these products? Did you enjoy them? Let me know you're favorites in the comments! I love discovering new products :)

March 2012 Favourites

I haven't done a monthly favourite products in a while! I have been more into making myself up this month than I have been in a while so here are the products I enjoyed most in the process!

1 - Revlon PhotoReady foundation : I love the coverage and flawless skin it gives me. Plus the color Ivory matches me perfectly so I can apply it only where I need it for a super natural look.

2 - Stila In the Lights Palette : I haven't worn much eyeshadow besides this palette for a few weeks now.

3- Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes : Not only are these ultra cheap, they have a lot of moisture, are quilted, remove all my makeup (even mascara and eyeliner) and are super soft. Love these! Also love the 60 pack so I don't have to repurchase as often :)

4 - N.Y.C. Sunny bronzer : It doesn't have any shimmer in it so it gives me a natural tan. Since spring is approaching, I'm kind of over the pasty white look!

5 - Garnier Ultra Lift Night Cream : this is super rich and creamy, but it absorbs quickly into my skin. Super moisturising and non greasy, it's perfect for my skin right now.

6- Maybelline the Falsies mascara : Love the curved brush, the volume it gives me and how black it is. Also love that is isn't too dry.

7 - Blistex Lip Medex lip balm : Not everyone might agree with this but I love the mediciney smell this product has. I also like that since it contains menthol it has a cooling effect. This month, my lips were so chapped, they burned. This product was a life saver!

8 - Flat face brush and small angled brush from the 22 piece Coastal Scents brush kit : Love the face brush for foundation, powder, blush and bronzer. It's extra soft and gives a flawless finish. Love the angled brush for lining my eyes. It's better for me than a larger angled brush since my eyes are super round. That way it's easier to follow the contours of my eyes.

9 - NYX Eyeliner Pencil in black : pretty black and applies without too much tugging. It's probably not the smoothest pencil liner out there, but it's the best I was able to find so far. Any suggestions on that?

Collective Haul : Zellers, Walmart, Drugstore

I've done quite a bit of shopping in the past month since I've been to Montreal a few times. There's a Zellers closing near my parents' house and all the cosmetics were 30-40% so I had to take advantage of it! The Zellers is being replaced by a Target soon, so I'm super excited about that! :D I also got some stuff from the drugstore and Walmart!

Anyway, here is what I got :

Everything I bought!

Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in Natural Smokes

This will be perfect for more natural smokey eyes!

I don't think I had any shades like the lid and outer corner colors in my collection. Glad I picked this little palette up

Brand new Color Icon Bronzer from Wet n wild. I couldn't find the Natural bronzer from Rimmel I wanted so I got this instead :)

I wanted a deeper bronzer for spring and summer since the one I had is pretty subtle.

Essie Shine of the Times polish. I mentioned this in my drugstore wishlist. It's a beautiful flaky. It's simply perfect

Maybelline Colosssal Volum' Express mascara

Another of the products I mentionned in my wishlist. Walmart had it for 6$ less than what I had seen at Jean Coutu

Love this concealer for under my eyes! Maybelline Mineral power concealer. It was the last one at Zellers and it's my shade, score!

Revlon ColorStay Blemish concealer. Love this thing, it's super opaque!

This wet n Wild Blush I got at the Dollar store for 2$, couldn't pass that up

This is a Wet n Wild cream bronzer which I also found at the drugstore.

Once blended in, it gives a pretty bronzed glow!

Maybelline New York Eyestudio Gel liner in blackest black

I've had the brown of this for a while and I like it, but I'm more into black liner lately, so I picked this one up.

Two more Revlon lip butters, one in Strawberry Shortcake and the other in Creme Brule

A Revlon lipstick, can't remember the name

Maybelline Instant Rewind foundation in Creamy Ivory. Not sure yet, but this might have given me a rash :X

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Ivory. Took advantage of the 30% off for this one, because it is normally really expensive (19$ or something)

That's all! Tell me in the comments below if you are interested in a full review of any of the products above! Also, if you have tried any of these, tell me what you think :)
