Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush
Finally. A blush that really impresses me. Until now, I've liked (and loved) a few, but never have I ever found something quite like this. 12 hour wear? Yep. Stays true to color? Check. Controls oil, but nourishes dry skin? Yes. Really. Sounds too good to be true, but this stuff is absolutely amazing! $25 and available at Sephora.com and wherever Tarte products are sold.Read what Sephora.com has
Up
The inspiration for this look was colourful Kevin from Disney/Pixar's "Up". She's probably the cutest bird ever!And this is the look itself:The lid colour is actually darker than it appears in the pictures! I did this some time ago so I cannot remember exactly what I used, but the lid colour is Lime Crime Duchess, the orange is a Kiko eyeshadow and there are some shades from the Zoeva palette in
Spring Beauty Review: O.P.I. Pirates of Caribbean Stranger Tides - The Greens Are Winning Me Over!
The softer sides of green are drawing me in and is now this season's "it" colour of the moment for me. I'm loving all versions in teal, mint green, and now this more muted sage shade from O.P.I's Pirates of Caribbean collection called Stranger Tides. Stranger Tides is not a shocking shade for spring, but it's a new neutral without being so neutral. On my skin tone, it looks more natural but I
Beauty Confession: My Bad Beauty Habit
Being a makeup artist, I pride myself on helping other women look and feel their very best whether it be giving flawless skin or beauty tips. But even this makeup junkie has a few bad beauty habits with this particular one being the worst. I would never tell other women to do this! Yikes! These are the state of my nails at the moment. I don't know what it is about nail polish remover (maybe the
Spring Beauty Review: Get Glowing With Stila's Spring Collection!

Beauty Review: Fresh Supernova Mascara
It always makes me feel great to use products that contain more natural ingredients than the rest.

What’s even better is that it doesn’t contain
Spring Beauty Review: You Want Colour? Shu Uemura's Morphorium Blue Palette Is Full Of Sweet, Sweet Colour!
In case you missed the Spring beauty forecast, bold colour is everywhere this season! For my everyday, my makeup is pretty boring and this coming from a makeup artist. Bronzy brown lids, mascara, concealer, pink or peach blush, bronzer, and a pink or peach lipstick or gloss are pretty much what I wear during the week. Before child (B.C.), I relished being in my 20's and loved wearing bright bolds

Spring Beauty Review: O.P.I. Pirates of Caribbean Mermaid's Tears - A Green I Can Get On Board With!
Finally, a green that I actually love! If you've read my blog in the past then you know green nails and I do not mix. Over the past years, bright day-glo shades have dominated the nail scene for spring. I'm actually loving the softer side of nails this season. I tend to gravitate to more bold, bright or deep hues but this season pastels have my heart! O.P.I's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger

Are glosses taking on a new form? Are you loving these chubby lil' sticks of colour that many brands are carrying now? Don't worry - wand glosses aren't going anywhere but I'm loving glossy pencils.

Beauty Review: Maybelline Superstay 24 Color
How great would it be if you only had to apply lipstick once throughout day? Maybelline’s Superstay 24 lip colour makes the claim that it’ll last 24 hours if applied properly. This dual ended lip product works by applying the richly pigmented colour to clean, dry lips. Once the colour dries completely – which takes about two minutes – you apply the conditioning balm to add moisture and sheen.L-R:

Spring Beauty Review: Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Stellar
Eye primers are essential period, but even more so if you want to wear the bright hues of Spring this season. Despite Kat Von D's choices in men (Jesse James? Really? Really!), her love for permanent designs gave me an idea that her eye primer would be anything less than amazing.The High Voltage Eye Primer ($20 CAD) is very light-weight and has a silky smooth texture. It feels really great on the
If I Had To Choose...Oscar Favourites
I wasn't planning on watching the Oscars in its entirety, but all the hype about James Franco and Anne Hathaway presenting peeked my interest. The youngest presenters to ever host the Oscars - pretty big deal. Not that I know, but I can imagine hosting a show as big as the Oscars isn't an easy thing. That being said, I kind of feel sorry that they bombed so bad! Wow, awkward much? It was so
