I have been really into trying out new skincare lately as our winter's are typically very cold and very dry and there's nothing I hate more than dry skin. I picked up the Peter Roth: Best Face Forward with 500 of my Sephora points to give them a try. I had never used Peter Roth products before so I love when I can pick up smaller sized products for free to give them a try
What it came with: Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel, Cucumber Gel Mask and the FIRMx Peeling Gel. I've been loving the Cleansing Gel for a daily cleanser. It smells really good and leaves my skin feeling super clean and fresh. The peel is amazing. I can literally feel it rolling off all my dead skin and washing it away! Yussss. I have used the gel mask only a few times (it says to use 2-3 times a week but I forget) and so far it's been great... Fresh and clean yet again! Loving these 3 so far
Tarte Sweet Dreams Deluxe Best Sellers Collection
What it came with: Maracuja Oil, Maracuja C-Brighter eye treatment and 'Dreamy' cheek stain. Both the oil and eye treatment are infused with antioxidant fruit and plant extractors to provide firmer, brighter and smoother skin. The cheek stain is a pinky nude that will look good on almost anybody and the packaging is of course just icing on the cake. So cute! I have these on display in my bathroom
Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer
What is it: A performance-driven moisturizer rich in corrective nutrients. This moisturizer is literally my new favourite ever! I've been hearing amazing things about Perricone MD (specifically the No Foundation Foundation and the No Blush Blush but just haven't gotten there yet) so when I saw that I could grab a mini container of this moisturizer and give it a try for only $12.00 I just couldn't resist. I have not been disappointed at all as this leaves my skin smooth as a babies bottom and is really great for leaving my skin looking radiant. I will definitely be buying the larger size of this baby
Onto Makeup...
my favourite affordable lash brand available at your local Wally World
I love these lashes. I usually wear the style 11 but I picked up these babes in 01 last time I was cruising around Walmart and I love how long and flirty they are! Super affordable is obviously an added bonus and I love that they come in combo packs or in singles
Colourpop Cosmetics Super Shock Show
Amaze + Rex + So Quiche
Okay so not only are these shadows freaking amazingly pigmented but they are AFFORDABLE beyond belief. They run at $5.00 a piece and come in tons of shades and finishes. Metallics, Pearlized, Pressed Pigments, Satin, Tie Dye, Ultra-Metallic and Matte, there is something for everyone. The down side is that the shipping is a bit on the pricy side when you live in Canada like me, but because the cost of the products themselves are so reasonable it still adds up to a great price
Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows
Fig + Taupe Platinum
Beautiful shadows with tons of pigment and that blend really well. That's all you need to know. Oh and that they come in every colour you could ever imagine
The one, the only... The Jaclyn Hill Favourites Palette by Morphe Brushes
this bad boy sold out in a day...
If anyone reading this blog doesn't know who Jaclyn Hill is you need to go to her youtube channel now and it will change your life. So many people look up to her so much and live through her tutorials so it was no surprise that when she did this collaboration with Morphe Brushes that as soon as this palette launched the site shut down and then when they got it together, it sold out basically in a day. I just got this in the mail this week and I have already been using it daily. The colours are so versatile and full of pigments that I can't wait to create some fun looks with this in the days to come
Bobbi Brown Brightening Powder in Bronze Glow
Best brightening powder ever. I love glowing skin and this is so beautiful and illuminating. I use this mostly as a highlighter on the tops of my cheeks but it looks beautiful on the eyes as well. Bobbi Brown always knows how to kill it when it comes to the highlighting products. Also check out her Shimmer Bricks! lahhhaaaave
Maybelline Lash Sensational
Awesome drugstore mascara. Affordable and it gives great length and volume. Nothing more I need!
MAC Faux Lipstick
Ummm yes. My favourite lip products ever are by Mac and I definitely stay true to that each and every time I order a new shade. The longevity and colour pay off is so perfect. I have been craving that Kylie Jenner lip colour since it became so popular and I heard this was one of the shades she uses so... naturally I bought it... and then I fell in love
WHEW
that was long...
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and it gives you some inspo for your next makeup shopping spree!
