Lush Love: Let The Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser


Hello today,
I went to Lush last week and purchased the limited time holiday facial cleanser called "let the good times roll". It is just a normal cleanser removes excess dirt and leaves skin smooth. It is made with maize flour, polenta and popcorn topping. 
It smells sooooo good, like guys i cant even express how yummy it smells. its literally like christmas in a scrub. so sweet and wakes you up in the morning.
Also the scent makes you so jolly!
the scrub is gentle on the skin, and the grains are not harsh or irritating. 
I really love this scrub a lot and plan to stock up because it is limited edition. But seriously, so far its my favourite lush product.

Hair Care: Saryna Key African Shea Cream for dry damaged hair

Hello Ladies,
I visited a local salon in the mall and was going to purchase some hair care stuff. When I came across this new product called Syrana Key. It's African Shea butter cream that is used to fix dry damaged hair. It's a new line produced by Morracon Oil. 
This cream is a leave in conditioner, you apply it wet or dry. It's super creamy and smells magnificent. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I've noticed my hair is much softer and better than before. 
It's quite expensive retails for $30CAD and it's 500mL 
It's a big bottle and worth the splurge because it will last you a long time and a little goes a long way. 
Also the smell is so amazing and it is paraben and sulfate free!

Warm Make-up for Fall with a Glamour Twist

hello makeup-aholics,



so i have a makeup look i played with the Lorac Unzipped palette and featuring bright red lips!!! so in love with this look i want to wear it to sleep!!!
so here are the steps, its such an easy makeup look!!
-brush all over the whole eye area : undercover
- using a crease brush lightly tap into : unspoken
- line upper and lower lash line softly with : untamed
and finish off with mascara i used L'Oreal 24h voluminous with collagen
for cheeks i applied MAC Eversun


Now for the glamorous red lips, i first put a light lip balm all over to moisturize them and have no cracks on my lips.
i lined my lips with MAC Cherry lip liner and then filled it in.
next i applied MAC Russian Red lipstick all over the lips.
it has a matte finish but the liner added some gloss to it. you can apply a gloss on it to make it sparkle but i left it the way it was!
so i kept the eye makeup pretty neutral and warm and made the lips so vibrant!! like BAM!
Such a beautiful look and every girl can rock this look! I MEAN EVERY GIRL!!
We all need a little red in our life!
so be happy and work that red lipstick!

Lorac UnZipped Makeup Palette Review Plus Tutorial



Hello Make-upaholics,
So i just purchased the Lorac UnZipped Makeup Palette from Sephora! And i am IN LOVE!! 
it is a neutral palette, has some matte and shimmer shadows. The pigmentation is amazing on it and its so velvety and smooth!!! 
the colours look amazing like pure amazingness on the eye lids! The quality of the shadows stunned me, they're even better than mac shadows :O! 
For Realz guys, this palette is to die for and so worth the money, although i only used it twice, i am crazy happy with it and recommend it to everyone! 

TUTORIAL
So for this look i first used an eyeshadow primer, it'll prolong the wear of the shadows! 
then i swept unreal all over the lid with an eyeshadow brush  ( MAC 249) 
i blended in unspoken in the crease and outer corner of the eye. (MAC 217) 
i took a little of untamed and put it in the outer corner of the crease and blended it through to create more depth and a smokey effect (MAC 217)
i lined my upper lash line and lower lash line a bit with unshadow 
finish off with mascara 
and that is the look :)

MAC 217 Blending Brush Review

Hello Makeup-aholics :)
Every now and then i will save up money and buy a MAC brush. They are just so expensive and i'm not loaded on cash to spend on just makeup although i wish i could :( 
So i purchased the 217 a month or so ago, and i've been testing it out. It takes time to learn how to properly use this brush so you can get the best out of it. Takes lots and lots of practice :P
But from the experience i am getting with this brush, its quite lovely. i'm still trying to learn how to have this brush perform to the best of it abilities! 
It creates a soft effect on the lids, sometimes i use it as an all over sweep or concentrate it on the crease. 
It glides the color very smoothly and softly, and its becoming a must have brush! My other crease brush sucked compared to this! The structure of the bristles is perfect for the eyes, and executes the eyeshadow very well!  
MAC brushes are definitely expensive but in the long run you save so much money and time! And you will always have a flawless look with their brushes!
