Pokemon Series : Scyther Inspired Makeup Look

Look Tab on the blog

Hey everyone! Just a quick word in case you had never noticed before. I have a Look tab in the upper left corner of the blog right underneath the banner. It contains most of the makeup looks I have done in the past, in one convenient space. So if you're looking for something, the Look tab is a pretty safe bet! It's been here for a while, but it was missing quite a few makeup looks. I've added most of the missing ones now which makes it almost complete. The ones missing are the oldest ones, which I might add in the future, but really you guys aren't missing anything good ;) Anyway hope you all check it out! :)

That's all for this quick little post! Hope this tool will be helpful to you all :)

Pokemon Series : Arbok Inspired Makeup Look

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I've taken a little break from blogging, but it seems my inspiration is back for the most part so I'll try and make the most out of it :) First up is another look from the Pokemon Series. I went to NYC last week and we visited the Nintendo store. I got a Pokemon sticker book and it's quite inspiring. The first one I decided to do is one of team Rocket's most oldschool companions : Arbok!

I decided to recreate the design on its torso on my lid and the backdrop is the color of its body. I also added a colored brow for good measure. I quite like the way this one turned out, what do you all think? Let me know in the comments! Also, which other Pokemon would you like to see?

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

Hey all! Today I have another really colorful sort of pastel summer makeup look. I have no clue what I should name this one, hence the title I guess. If you have any ideas please let me know in the comments! I would highly appreciate it! Without further ado, here the makeup look :)

Updated : What's in my Makeup Bag [2014 Edition]

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've shown you what I carry in makeup bag so I thought I would share what I've been carrying for the past few weeks. To be frank, when I'm home, I seldom carry a makeup bag. I don't really do touch-ups on the go and especially during the summer, I don't wear that much makeup from day-to-day. I've been away from home for the past few weeks (I went on vacation to Mexico and living at my parent's during my Montreal internship) so my makeup bag has seen a lot more use recently.

Since I was travelling and since I'm not home at the moment, I wanted to pack only a few compact items that could help me achieve a polished and natural look if I wanted to, without bringing a bunch a makeup. Here's what I've been carrying around :

• Brushes : Eco Tools brushes from the Essential Eye Set and the Mineral Set. They are all travel sized, so they barely take up any space in my makeup bag! I use the kabuki for powders, the large shading brush for highlighter and shadow and the small shading brush and blending brush for eyeshadow.
• Powders, blushes and bronzers : I carry the Rimmel Stay Matte powder, the Stila Kitten Highlighting Duo, a mini Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Memorable, a mini Hoola bronzer by Benefit and a Tony Moly Crystal Jelly Cheek pot in 01.
• Liners and mascara : I have the Tony Moly Partylover liquid eyeliner, a Smashbox mini black pencil liner and a deluxe sample of the Bareminerals Buxom mascara.
• Foundation and concealer : I'm carrying a baby size of the Laura Mercier foundation primer and tinted moisturizer as well as a sample jar of the MAC pro longwear concealer. I also have the Garnier Roll-on tinted treatment. 
• Eyeshadow : I have a mini Urban Decay Primer potion as well as the Urban Decay Naked Basics which is tiny and really perfect for your makeup bag/travel.
• Others : I also carry Ombrelle sunscreen samples and Dole lipbalm just in case!

That's all I carry in my makeup bag right now! What are your beauty on-the-go essentials? Let me know in the comments :) Also leave any post request so I know what you would like to see next! <3

Pokemon Series : Kakuna Inspired Makeup Look

 Hello everyone! So it's been ages since I've last posted a makeup look. Like I said in my previous couple of posts, I've been ridiculously busy with school. I've been on internship for the past month and most of it was in Montreal which means I wasn't home. It's been almost impossible to do makeup away from home since I didn't have the right setup for it. (trust me, I tried and the results were really terrible :/) I'm back home now, but still doing another internship 40 hours a week. I'm really tired whenever I get back so it only leaves me with the weekend to work on the blog.

Thankfully I found a bit of time this week to prepare a few makeup looks for you all! I also found this Kakuna makeup I did before I left that I never had the chance to use. I don't remember all the products I used to create it tough so I'll just explain briefly what I remember. I used mostly my BH 120 1st Edition Palette and the Coastal Scents 88 Warm for the shadows. I can't remember the false lashes, brow products or liner I used but the mascara is the Clump Crusher as usual. Hope you all enjoy this one! Let me know what other Pokemon looks you'd like to see me do :)

Project 10$/Week 2014 Update and Haul - Weeks 24 through 27

Hey everyone! As promised, here is my latest project 10$/week update! I'm still on track and very proud to be :) This is weeks 24 through 27 of my resolution. Check it out :

 Haul

• Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner (7$) : I strongly regret this purchase. It's my first project 10$ purchase that I regret and I'm kicking myself for not researching my purchase before getting this liner. I hate everything about it, it's way too matte, it cracks, it's hard to apply because of the fat pointy hard felt tip brush and you can't get a nice even line with it. Looks like 1 week gone down the drain, oh well :S Hope I've learned my lesson now.
• Tony Moly Party Lover Liquid Liner (7$, on sale) : Now this is what I'm talking about! This liner is the bomb and it's quickly becoming a favorite. The brush is super thin, the formula dark and opaque and it's really budge-proof. <3 It reminds me of my dear E.l.f liquid liner, but I think I like it even more!
• L'Oréal Infallible shadow in Tender Caramel (3$, on sale) : Just like my Amber rush shadow from the same collection, I adore this! Great pigmentation, beautiful color and amazing metallic finish!
• Tony Moly Crystal Jelly Cheek Pot in 07 (7$, on sale) : This cream to powder blush has a really odd consistency, but I've been wearing it non-stop. I love the natural finish and this color suits me quite nicely I think. These Tony Moly products are really great so far, I'm thinking of getting more!
• Maybelline Babyskin Primer (12$) [Not pictured] : I don't have it with me in Montreal at the moment so I haven't had that much time to play around with it yet. I do think it's quite expensive though. Not sure about this yet, but I really wanted to give it a try!

Price total : 36$

Week equivalent : 4 weeks

Swatches

from left to right : Revlon Colorstay liner, Tony Moly Party Lover, Tony Moly Crystal Jelly Cheek Pot in 01, L'Oréal Infallible Shadow in Tender Caramel

In case you haven't been following my project 10$/week since the beginning of 2014, here's a recap of the products I have gotten so far :

Project 10$/week recap :

• NARS Orgasm & Laguna Duo and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil Trio = 80$
• Katy Perry Meow perfume and Bourgeois Healthy Skin Serum = 50$
• Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Trio and Urban Decay Naked Basics palette = 100$
• Maybellin Babyskin Primer and L'Oréal Infallible shadow in Tender Caramel = 15$
• Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner = 7$
• Tony Moly Partylover Liner and Crystal Jelly Cheek Pot in 01 = 14$

Total : 26,6 weeks = 27 weeks

Next purchases : 

My next purchases are a bit of a dilemma right now. I feel like I have too many options to choose from. I want a few Elf things and I would also like to try the Essence brand. I also really want a MAC palette but it's incredibly expensive (~200$ yikes). I definitely want more Tony Moly products as well as more Korean cosmetics (especially a BB cream!). Finally, I'd like to put some of my budget aside to be able to get stuff from the Sephora Christmas collection since they always have a bunch of really nice gift sets. I'm really unsure about what I should choose. Let me know what you would do if you were me!  It would help me a lot to get all of you guys' opinions. <3

That's it for this update! Hope you all enjoyed it! Let me know what I should get next in the comments and also any post or review request :)

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

China Town Food Haul

Hey all! So one of the things I like most about coming to Montreal is the China Town (the offerings are very limited in Quebec City). Because of that, every time I come I go a little nuts buying all the yummy food I can get my hands on. This time I found a Korean beauty store which I didn't know about so I decided to pick up a few beauty items as well. Those will be included in an upcoming haul, keep your eyes out for that one as well if you're interested!

• Lichee flavoured coconut jelly - Anyone else tried those? They are yummy! <3
• Tea flavoured drinks - One is jasmine (very mild tasting, but super healthy) and the other is peach :)
• Shrimp crackers - omnomnom
• Yan Yan snacks - These have been my favorites for years! They're great :D
• Hello Panda cookies - Also a favourite
• Green tea sponge cake - I got the at Harmonie bakery and engulfed the whole thing in one night ahah
• Fortune cookies - Also from Harmonie bakery, they're the best fortune cookies I've had

I haven't done any food related posts in forever! I hope you enjoyed this one! Would any of you like to see a grocery haul or something? What other food-related posts would you like to see me make? Let me know in the comments <3

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 :)
