YSL Dessin Des Levres Lip Liner in 08 Review




Happy Monday Lovelies,

Because its Monday and its a gloomy chilly Monday here in Toronto I would love to share with you my luxurious baby. YSL is my all time favourite luxurious brand, everything in their makeup line is just so majestic. I wish I can afford all YSL products but I'm a student and boohoo :(

I decided to invest in a lip liner because lip liners are very useful, you can use them as a lip liner
(obviously) or as lipstick. It last super long at least for me it lasts about 4 hours without reapplying, and it has a smooth texture. The colour payoff is so true and very pigmented and applies flawlessly.



                                      
                                    

Take your time with makeup its all about quality, so investing in some expensive items are worth it but only if your research it properly. Don't just splurge on the name buy it with reasoning and worth. Before I buy an expensive item I read reviews and I'd go ask the makeup clerk about the product.

So think before you spend!

John Frieda Frizz- Ease Sheer Solution Review

Calling all you Curly haired girls,

This product is for you and i mean it! If you are in the category of wavy/ curly hair then this is the product you need! It decreases the Frizz instantly and leaves off a smoooooooth finish.

Its a 2 part solution where you have to mix it up and then apply 10 drops into your palm and apply to the ends of your damp hair, depending on the length and thickness you may need more or less. This product is just pure amaze-balls like i have thick curly hair and apply this after i shower and let it air dry and i come out with smooth tamed curls/waves. It works like a curl diffuser i guess... LOL either way it leaves your curls proper!

Its very inexpensive compared to the higher brands obviously but for this product its a great price, its around $13? You can find it anywhere thats for sure, I've always loved John Frieda's hair products they work so well and he is very well known for his Frizz line.

Try it out and you won't be disappointed :)

Easy Subtle Smokey Eye


Hey Guys,

Today's look i tried out a very subtle smokey eye look thats super easy and wearable during the day and can be transformable to a night time look! I'm going to be focusing on the day time look for this post"

1. Apply an all over wash of the desired colour you want, i did a simple light shimmery colour from MAC called Naked Lunch

2. Defined my crease lightly with a soft brown colour any brown will due

3. Line your upper lash line with a black eyeliner i used Milani Liquid Eye Pencil, its creamy and blend able. Look for a liner like this for this look, something like Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner.


4. Using a smudging brush start smudging the liner up, concentrate on the outer corner of the eye. Bring the smudging up and start creating a V shape in the corner of the eye.
                                           


Its a very subtle light smokey eye but makes it look like you worked hard on it, when actually its super easy and fast!








5. Finish it off with mascara and i also connected it with a light liner on the bottom lashes but only in the outer corner.


And done! its super easy and subtle and super wearable during the day time!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

How To Do The Perfect Cat Eyeliner




Hey!!

Cat eyes have been the "it" look for so many years and sometimes it can be difficult to perfect it, but i have a mini tutorial on how to do it :)

1. Using a liquid liner create a line following the lower lash line. From your bottom lashes make a line continuing up to however length you want.

2. Simply connect the line to half your eyelid, and fill in the tint triangle.

3. Connect the inner corner of the eye with a thinner line

Done :)

It takes practice to have a perfect cat eye but this is the easiest way for me to get a good look :)

Hope it helped!
