NYX Haul

I rarely find places in Canada that sell NYX products. Luckily I came across one today. I picked up another Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil in "Lavender" because I absolutely love them. I also picked up a coloured eyeliner because it was only $3 and good quality. I am not willing to buy expensive coloured eyeliners because I use them rarely. I picked up a white glitter because I own none and it could really spice up certain evening looks. I also picked up a NYX eyeshadow trio with tropical colours because they just looked stunning.

Sephora Birthday Haul

I went by Sephora to pick up a new eyeshadow primer because I was running low. I discovered the new Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden and figured it would be a perfect fit for my skin tone as apposed to clear primer. It works great, no surprise. The eyeshadow lasts forever! It was also recently my birthday so I received a free birthday gift from Philosophy. It smells pretty bad in my opinion but it was free so I might as well use it up. I fell in love with a two toned nail polish named "Mash-up" from the Sephora by O.P.I. collection or also called "Just Like the Movies" from the Katy Perry collection by O.P.I. It is a silvery colour that has hints of purple and green in it. Absolutely stunning.

Review: Maybelline Falsies Mascara

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara has been my favourite mascara for years. I have occasionally tried other brands but always went back to that. There was a recent price increase in that mascara which pushed me to try something else. I had heard amazing reviews about the Maybelline Falsies Mascara so I decided to try it. When I first put it on I was shocked. It made my look so full and long, a dramatic difference. It makes the lashes look thick while giving volume. I am absolutely in love with this mascara and it does not clump. It is my new favourite and I will repurchase.
