ABH Modern Renaissance Review

So this palette has been around for a while now. I wanted to wait until the hype of the palette died down so I could give it an honest review. I wanted to wait to use it so I could take pictures of the palette in all it's glory. But I honestly couldn't wait that long, I had to use these shadows.

This is the first permanent eyeshadow palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. It is also the first shadows I've tried by ABH. I knew they were amazing but I did not think they could be this good. There are enough neutrals in the palette to wear for a daily look, and there's also beautiful berry shades that look gorgeous on everyone that I've seen.  There's only one shade in this entire palette that I don't think I'll wear and it's Realgar. The shade is too orange for me and I know I have to stay away from oranges. Other than that I've used every other shade and have loved them.

These shadows are so creamy and blendable. They're also so pigmented it's unreal. My top three shades are Buon Fresco, Antique Bronze, and Love Letter. They also look great all together on the eyes. I never thought I'd be so attracted to Burnt Orange and Raw Sienna, but I love wearing both shades in the crease. Just beautiful transition shades. 

 For a daily look I like to wear Burnt Orange in the crease, then I take Antique Bronze on the outer corner of my lid, and Primavera on the inner corner of my lid. I then blend Antique Bronze and Primavera on the lower lash line and highlight my brow bone with Tempera. And of course, I then pair the look with winged eyeliner and mascara. 

I'll post the full makeup look with a more in depth description on a later date. But for now, I'll post swatches of the shades. These are only one swipe of shadow so you can see just how pigmented some of the shades are.

From top left to right: Realgar, Warm Taupe, Venetian Red, Red Ochre, Primavera, Burnt Orange, Raw Sienna, Cyprus Umber, Love Letter, Antique Bronze, Buon Fresco, Vermeer, Golden Ochre, Tempera.

November Favourites

So November is over, and Christmas is almost here. I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas, and I'm still missing Halloween. But Christmas means new makeup, and I'm all for that. I haven't had time to try new products (or the money), so most of my favourites are older products that I just can't get enough of. This month my skin has been so dry that products I initially thought I loved ended up not working for me anymore. If you live in Canada, you know how horrible our winters are (unless you live in B.C., then you don't understand). This year in Saskatchewan we've had barely any snow, and it hasn't been that cold. But since everything hasn't frozen over, everything hasn't died yet, so my allergies have been horrible. Favourites  My first favourite isn't makeup related which I know, surprising. It's essential oils. I never thought I would jump this hard onto the bandwagon. Because my allergies have been so bad I've been getting a lot ...

Sometimes You Need a Clean Start!

I recently got out of a relationship and thought this would be the time to express my one true passion. Yes, makeup is my passion. I want to finally express myself and my love of beauty. This is something I have always wanted to do, but have been too scared to try. Hopefully, this will get me out of bed and away from Netflix. I haven't decided if I want to showcase my nail art (even with my weak brittle nails), makeup looks and products or just some new beauty tricks I'm trying. I hope you will follow along with me while I start this new journey in my life. If you want any more insights into my life, I have linked my accounts on most social media sites. Enjoy!

Perfect Fall Makeup

As today is the first day of fall I thought what a perfect time to share some of my favourite fall products. Fall is probably my favourite time of year, mostly because it's still warm but I can wear sweaters and boots. Even though this season is probably the shortest in Canada because it could snow any day now, I still try to enjoy it. In honour of the new season, I treated myself today to my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year. Now let's get to the makeup.  With the change of the season, it's time to change up your look. I always go for more browns and burgundy shades on my eyes and of course a dark lip. I went through my favourite brands and go to products and listed them down below. Most of these are my daily look (since I tend to wear a dramatic eye even during the day). Hope that you find some inspiration here, I went through all of my products that change with the season. I left out foundation, concealer, highlight, eyeliner,  and mascara because they are pretty c...
