Lips -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream in London
Jacqu1em 6/8/2012 9:41:00 AM
Absolutely stunning my lips but better shade.. Great neutral, think I've found my HG! I hate the stickiness of lip glosses in the warmer months especially, so this is absolutely perfect. I tend to have dryer lips also so this is much more hydrating than a lipstick! Have already ordered more shades of these after looking at swatches online. x

Blush -Jordana - Redwood
Jacqu1em 6/8/2012 9:40:00 AM
WOW! Was NOT expecting this to be so pigmented... Used my E.L.F. Powder Brush from the Studio Line, dipped the brush in & tapped off the excess & was still left with too much product! Don't get me wrong though, this is not a bad thing as a pet peeve of mine is blushers with no pigmentation. Will definitely be trying out others from this line of blushers, especially for the inexpensive price! :) For reference this is the perfect rusty toned blush for a sunkissed look. It makes bronzer look so much more believable with the red tones, and leaves you looking like you just had a day out in the sun. Beautiful. x

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Rose Lip Treatment SPF 15
Jacqu1em 5/6/2012 11:31:00 AM
Absolutely LOVE this lip tint/balm.. Super moisturizing with the perfect amount of sheer tint. I prefer this to wear a gloss as I'm not a fan of the stickiness that comes with glosses & will often wear this over lipstick as well in the same colour family. I received this for the month of April at Sephora in my "birthday gift," but would pay full price for this again! x

Concealers -Make Up For Ever - Full Cover Concealer
Jacqu1em 4/26/2012 12:02:00 PM
Absolutely fantastic coverage! I use this on blemishes, acne scarring & my dark undereyes, with no irritation or breakouts after years of use. This has been the only concealer I have found to last through a day at the beach, water included. Even with the hefty price tag here in Canada I will continue to buy this again & again. For reference I use shade #3, x

Eyeliner -Sephora - Flashy Liner Waterproof
Jacqu1em 4/25/2012 4:01:00 PM
I purchased this in the electric bright blue shade, apologies as I do not have the exact #. I have been wearing this daily on my lower lash line with a smudge of a similar blue shade in the Spring/Summer E.L.F. Palette. Amazing staying power, does not smudge & easily lasts a full day. I also purchased the flashy brown shade I believe it is, which will be replacing my daily brown generic sephora liner. It is a gorgeous shade as well! Cannot wait to test these out in the water, x

Eye Shadow -MAC - Club Eye Shadow
Jacqu1em 4/25/2012 3:56:00 PM
Been eyeing this eyeshadow for a while now on the boards & through YouTube, blogs, etc. & recently just had the chance to snap one up. I have to say I am incredibly impressed with this shadow! Absolutely gorgeous in the outer v & crease. Recently I have been wearing just naked lunch swept in the inner corner, across the lid & up to the browbone with this shade in the outer v for the perfect amount of definition for everyday wear. I have also been wetting my smudge brush & pressing this into the top lash line for a beautiful green duo tone colour to compliment my blue eyes. A definite repurchase! For reference I bought the pan version for $14CAD.

Lip Gloss -C.O. Bigelow - Bubblemint Lip Shine
Jacqu1em 4/25/2012 3:43:00 PM
In love with the scent & flavour, reminds me of childhood & Hubba Bubba & is an exact scent dupe for Stride bubblemint gum. Only took one lippe off due to stickiness, other than that very moisturizing! Purchased in a buy 2 get 1 free promotion at Bath & Body Works in Canada, x

Primer/ Corrector -Hard Candy - Sheer Envy Primer
Jacqu1em 4/5/2012 1:22:00 PM
Not much to complain about with this product, has never broken my sensitive skin out and seems to do a decent job of filling in the fine lines on my forehead and underneath my eyes, as well as the pores around my nose area. Only took one lippie off as I wish it had more oil-absorbing properties for the Summer. Other than that will probably repurchase unless something else strikes my fancy! x

Mascara -Essence - Lash and Brow Gel Mascara
Jacqu1em 4/5/2012 1:17:00 PM
Love this! Super inexpensive, perfect amount of hold with no flaking or crustiness. Just a tip: I run a clean spoolie through my eyebrows after applying this just to take away any excess I may have applied. Will definitely be repurchasing, especially as it is now readily available at Shopper's Drugmarts in Canada! x

Concealers -Essence - Forget it! 3in1 concealer
Jacqu1em 4/5/2012 1:15:00 PM
Use the salmon colour daily for my undereye eye area before concealer, and have used the green for around redness on the nose area as well as on blemishes. Not sure the beige is a perfect colour match but I will defintiely be repurchasing this anyway, for the salmon colour alone! Great price, creamy consistency.. Lived in France and have since moved back home, only to discover that Shopper's Drugmart in Canada now carries this line! Definitely happy about that, x

Eyeliner -E.L.F. - Cream Eyeliner - Plum Purple
Jacqu1em 4/5/2012 1:12:00 PM
I was so excited for this product to arrive! Alas, it has next to no pigment, I've used multiple brushes & even tried to layer various purple eyeshadows on top to salvage it.. With no luck. Will be trying the teal as there are positive views for that one, but would not repurchase this. x

Treatments -John Frieda - Go Blonder Lightening Spray
Jacqu1em 3/20/2012 12:37:00 PM
Although I loved this product at first because it did seem to work great & saved me trips to the salon.. Ultimately it did more damage than good. My fringe is still recovering months later from this, it seemed to split my ends & they're continuing to split up the entire hair shaft, although I only used this product on roots. Upon discontinuing use it has taken the Redken Extreme line to whip my hair back into a healthy condition although I believe I'll go for my 2nd trim. 2 lippies just because it did seem to work.. But extreme caution ladies if you decide to use this. I would recommend no more than once a week & with a heavy duty heat protectant as well. Lemon juice with conditioner & sitting in the sun it will be me! x

Toners -Unlisted Brand - Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
Jacqu1em 3/20/2012 12:33:00 PM
HG for me! Use daily as a toner to eliminate acne scarring & reduce oil production, has never dried me out. I also use this a few times a month as a clarifying rinse before I shampoo & it works outstanding! Definitely repurchasing, although a bottle of this will last me the year I'm guessing. x

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque
Jacqu1em 3/20/2012 11:58:00 AM
Definitely a lifesaver! Use this nightly (overnight) as a mask & have no experienced a breakout in ages. Not sure how it is for blackheads, but has even acted as a great oil absorber. I notice if I slack on using this my complexion is nowhere near as clear. Has never dried me out & great price! A tub has lasted me for what seems like forever. Repurchasing! x

Blush -Cargo - Catalina
Jacqu1em 3/20/2012 11:56:00 AM
Sadly, I am down to the final rim of this product & will be sad to see it go. Perfect pigment, staying power & has never looking clownish on my near translucent complexion. Great in every season. Once I have completed Project 10 Pan successfully, I will defintiely be repurchasing this as well as a few other shades I have been eyeing up! x
