BB Cream -Smashbox - Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35
SimpleNSexy 4/6/2013 7:44:00 AM
Price: $56.00 CAD Finish: natural sheen Coverage: solid medium Oil-control: 6-8h Texture: thick This feels really thick and moisturising going on. Never feels 'dry' after setting. The sheen it gives off doesn't look greasy on my T-zone. I barely need a concealer for my under eye area on a good day. You'll still need concealer for acne and hyperpigmentation.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Woodwinked - veluxe pearl
SimpleNSexy 4/5/2013 8:27:00 PM
This is another one of MAC's famous ones and guess what: The hype is worth it. Price: $16 CAD Colour: true golden brown Finish: metallic Pigmentation: full Texture: buttery This is such a lovely colour. This looks totally gorgeous with Melon pigment in the centre and Antiqued in the crease! It's a dupe for UD Half Baked, if that's any incentive

Eye Shadow -MAC - Patina (Frost)
SimpleNSexy 4/5/2013 8:21:00 PM
Got it in Snowglobe Eyeshadow Palette- Warm Colour: medium browned taupe Finish: slightly metallic frost Texture: buttery Pigmentation: medium This is basically a little sister of the infamous Satin Taupe (which I adore to bits) but browner and less dramatic. Doesn't show up much on my skin tone unless I've got a strong base.

I LOVE IT<3 x gazillion!!

Since it's a duochrome different colours show on diff base colours: • Charcoal- electric teal with hints of maroon •Silver- smokey brown/turquoise •Brown- maroon with hints of aqua •Maybelline Color Tattoo 'Tenacious Teal'- teal/chocolate brown Dramatic yet versatile enough for daytime Try it! I dare u ;)

Eyes -MAC - Paint Pot in Rubenesque
SimpleNSexy 4/5/2013 8:11:00 PM
A fantastic primer/base Price: $23 CAD Colour: light gold Finish: iridescent shimmer Texture: buttery smooth This dries to a powdery finish in a flash! Crease-free for the entire day and is waterproof and smudge proof. I use this pretty much every day all over the lid with a crease colour black gel liner. Since it's a gold (peachy on fairer skin) anyone can wear this! Melon pigment is a touch darker and Tweet Me (which I own) from the Peacock Collection is a powder version of this. Get it, love at first wear guaranteed! <3

Eye Shadow -NARS - Cordura Duo
SimpleNSexy 4/5/2013 12:56:00 PM
Hands down one of the most beautiful eyeshadows I've ever tried! Also my first NARS purchase. Price: $45 CAD Colours: dark bronzy brown and blackened chocolate brown; both with golden shimmer Texture: super buttery smooth Pigmentation: very concentrated It's packaged in a rubberized compact with a decently sized mirror. While the $40 price tag looks intimidating, it costs less per ounce when compared to MAC or UD (amarixe.com has a great comparison). Also, you only need a dab since it's beautifully pigmented! Lovely with the lighter shade all over the lid (for the medium to darker skinned ladies) with darker shade in outer V and along the lash line. Brilliant investment

Great everyday mascara! Price: $9 CAD Brush: curved rubber; think Maybelline Cat Eyes or Falsies Formula: dry-ish Length: medium Volume: buildable Overall, I don't find this as amazing as everyone on YT says. Just an average mascara that won't be replacing my beloved Maybelline Colossal :)

Eye Shadow -Wet 'n' Wild - Color Icon Trio - Walking on Eggshells
SimpleNSexy 3/30/2013 5:41:00 PM
A nice neutral/no makeup colour combo for those on a budget Price: $3 CAD Colours: Browbone- shimmery off white with sheen Crease- medium shimmery golden brown (between MAC Woodwinked and Romp) Eyelid- light shimmery peachy pink Pigmentation- full Texture- buttery These are simply amazing and for the price, doesn't hurt to try them out. The silkiness and pigmentation is on par with MAC or Urban Decay e/s. There's a bit of fallout but nothing that you can't tolerate! Go ahead, try it out. Love at first swipe, guaranteed

Lip Gloss -Cover Girl - Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm
SimpleNSexy 3/8/2013 7:14:00 PM
I like how the drugstores are catching onto jumbo lip pencils :) Price: $8 CAD Texture: glossy balm Pigmentation: sheer; buildable I have Mauve and Plum, both of which are very pigmented and applies beautifully. Mauve one is only a shade or two darker than my lips so I like plum better. It's initially sheer but buildable. Not as opaque as Revlon staining balms though. I prefer Revlon for lip prosucts any day
