NYX store...My first visit + first purchase!

Hi guys!

Today I had such an amazing trip to NYX store with my friend Kayla (check out her blog  http://www.sheerbeautyblog.com/).

NYX always existed in Toronto, it was sold at Rexal. Lately it became extremely popular, so they opened stores. The Queen street location opened in December and it is absolutely beautiful. Everything was perfectly clean, organized and stocked. Nothing was sold out, the people that works there  were super polite & friendly.

I was in heaven, I love the design of the store, the colours they use, the products and I still cannot get over the prices.

These are the first product I ever bought from NYX but I will definitely be buying more in the future. I am thinking on investing money for my kit in here, no other place beats the prices & the products are really good quality.

I bought 2 liquid liners (lime green & lilac). 2 liquid lipsticks. 3 pots of glitter (I was dying for red glitter!!!), a concealer, 2 roll on glittery shadows (pink & champagne) & a liquid highlighter.


I will do some swatches soon and will share :)
Hope you liked the post! Share your thoughts on the store & products!!!

Benefit cosmetics!!!!!

Hey guys!
I meant to post this looong ago but got super busy with work and life in general.
Anyway, I received this products from benefit training at work and was super excited to try them.
The mask is the first skincare product I try from them. It is mainly to clean and tighten  your pores. I really like the cooling feeling it gives. My pores looked clean but if you want to deep cleanse your pores probably do it more than once.
The other product I tried was Dew the hoola, it is a liquid bronzer that you can use for all over colour or as a base for contouring ( for certain complexions). For my complexion I use it to give me more of a dewy look and a tiny bit of colour. We tried it on a deeper complexion as highlighter and it looks beautiful.
 I loved this product and it goes well on any complexion but the purpose will change. Some will get a bronzer and others a highlight.
Hope you like this post, feel free to ask questions or leave comments :)

Trying to get fuller lips

Hi guys!!!

If I could get a wish to change something on my body/face I would probably ask for a fuller upper lip. I tried a while a go a Too Faced lip injection and it was good but didn't blow my mind.  Not too long ago Sephora got a new Glamglow lip plumper that is actually pretty good. It is strong but not bad, it plumps my lips longer and more than the lip injection by Too Faced. I liked it a lot but I still feel like there is something better.
I decided to try Fullips enhancer, I heard mixed reviews about it and I was a bit scared but decided to give it a chance.

                                      

At first, it didn't turn out so good, I actually bruised my lip but ONLY because I did it wrong! There was nothing wrong with the product.


After trying a few times and learning how to properly use it, it worked...I think.


Any thoughts on this product? Leave a comment!



Paper sheet masks!!!!

Hi guys!!!

I recently went to an Asian mall filled with skin care and beauty stuff. I decided to pick up a whole bunch of paper sheet masks because they were everywhere and they are my favorite skincare "treat". They are super easy to use, the mask is already saturated with serum, so you just have to place it on your face and enjoy!


I also found these interesting paper sheet masks for your feet. You put them on, leave them for an hour and a half, rinse and your feet are going to peel for days leaving you with soft beautiful feet. I am trying one now as I am writing and cannot wait to see how it turns out. I will keep you posted!

Hope you enjoyed! Feel free to ask questions and leave comments!
