makeup on a budget? Keep reading!!



Hi everyone!

I would like to share and review some of my beauty products which mostly all come from the drug store..besides the two products that i have here that do not would be my foundation "make up forever HD foundation" as well as my "urban decay palette"

ok lets get started!

Make up forever HD foundation - I honestly have no problem with this foundation besides that its so pricey.. The coverage is great, it still lets my skin breath while being a medium coverage.. if you are looking for a full coverage you can get it with this foundation but you would have to build it!

Naked 2 urban decay BASICS - honesly no complaints..I love everything about this palette. You need one of these!

Elf eyebrow kit - Looking for a great deal? you've found it with this eyebrow kit! I am wearing it in the picture. There is 3 shades light, medium and dark, I have the medium shade, it goes on smoothly and stays on all day! Its definately worth a try!

ELF blush palette- Okay, when i first got this palette i was a little worried, there is two choices, shade light/dark, I chose the dark palette and when i opened it i was shocked to see how dark the colors were and not to mention SUPER pigmented..you would never think ELF made such pigmented makeup..over all the palette turns out to be amazing.. and i will be buying it again, I am wearing the first color on your left from the palette in my picture! soft and settle ..oh and once again stays on all day! but beaware..very pigmented while appying so be very gentle.

Elf baked highlighter - I have this baked highlighter in "moonlight pearl" I used this highlighter under my brows, and ontop of my cheek bones, I like it.. it is a bit chalky but works well its good for day time., i wouldnt say the best for staying power..but for being under 5$ its a great product!

NYC smooth skin bronzing face powder - Once again, no complaints! I have been using this bronzer for years and it works very well.. its more of a natural bronzer so its great for day time use without looking too over done and sculpted. great product.

NYC liquid eyeliner - This is a good liquid eyeliner for staying power + the price. The only 2 things i'd complain about would be the brush, as well as it's a little bit too liquidy..i prefer a pointed brush and a little less liquidy.

NYX soft matte lip cream - so much reviews about this little baby all over the internet that I just had to get one and try it out for myself! i got it in the color "Morocco" it's a red/orange color its the perfect color for summer! It is definately matte and the staying power is great, it doesnt dry out your lips neither, I want them all!

NYX jumbo eye pencil - Ofcourse i got it in the color Milk. I feel like im the last person on earth to have gotten this eye pencil! finally, its here. I love it..pigmented, stays, and great for a base to make eye shadows pop..no complaints whatsoever!

Essence get big lashes - Great mascara, probably about my third tube, only cost 4$ and better than most mascaras I try..i always fall back to this one. The name says it all!

Maybelline age rewind concealer - BEST. CONCEALER. EVER. I  use this every single day, i have the shade in "light" it doesnt crease and stays on all day, I honestly recommend that you give this a try, you wont regret it!

L'oreal magic lumi primer - This primer lives up to its name, it gives you a nice illuminating effect. It brings a lot of light to your complexion, you can either wear it under your foundation as a primer or mix it in your foundation for a soft light illusion. love it!

I was wondering if anyone has tried the "revlon photo ready primer/foundation..I heard its comparable to the Make up forever HD foundation.. ?

Well thats it! everything that i spoke about I am wearing in the photos, hope you enjoyed my review :)

Juliette et Chocolat


I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the cheesecake brownie from Juliette et Chocolat! It looks better than it tastes. We definitely won't be reordering this one. They have many other delicious options to choose from!

VOLUM' EXPRESS® Pumped Up! COLOSSAL™ Washable Mascara In Classic Black REVIEW


Unfortunately, I am pretty disappointed with this mascara! I actually think that it does nothing spectacular and it's kind of clumpy and flakes off. And it doesn't really add any length.

In the picture it doesn't look so bad but within like 1-2 hours I have flakes of the mascara all under my eye. Overall I'm not happy with it and I won't be buying another tube. Maybe you have a different opinion of it but I personally don't recommend it!

Have you tried this mascara? If so, what do you think of it?

Sephora Foundation & Powder Swatches!


I have finally found a foundation I really enjoy! I would say this foundation is a medium coverage but you can build it to be full coverage, I personally love the natural finish. This foundation last all day, it's great for combination type skin as it control shine through out the day. It's simply a great product from the Sephora line.

I also really love the face powder! I generally just use it under my eyes to set any under eye makeup. This powder as well last all day. You can ofcourse also wear it without any foundation, it looks so natural!

In the picture above starting from the left I have nothing on my skin. In the second picture I added my foundation and in the third picture i have on the foundation as well as the powder.

Sephora has officially won me as a life time client!

What is your favourite foundation line? 

MAYBELLINE "Fit me" Concealer



I have been using the "Maybelline Fit Me Concealer" in the shade "Sand 20" for several months now and I find it works really well. In the picture there is no foundation just the concealer to show how it covers. So with foundation it looks even better! The coverage lasts all day, even through sweaty days.  I rarely, if ever need to reapply.  I only use it for blemishes, I don't like it that much for dark circles. I had a blemish problem since before starting this concealer so I wouldn't say this concealer causes breakouts.  So if you have blemishes and you're looking for a good concealer, I definitely recommend this one!

What's your favorite concealer for blemishes?

New Revlon ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner Review


I needed a liquid eyeliner and I saw this new one at the store so I decided to try it. The fact that it's "skinny" interested me the most. I am actually quite impressed with this eyeliner. The line goes on thinly which allows you to build the thickness. It applies fairly bold which I like and it lasts me all day from morning to night. I would recommend you try this! I rate it 9/10

Moroccan Oil product review!!

Where do I start? Moroccan oil products are definately well known. I personally cannot live without these products. I absolutely love the product line.

I have damaged hair from bleaching my hair often, and I must say this is probably the only line that works wonders for me. I get the "Repair" line. The great thing about moroccanoil is that it's sulfate, phosphate and paraben-free as well as color-safe. The whole line smells amazing!

SHAMPOO+CONDITIONER : Personally, you must use these two together. they compliment eachother. If you just shampoo, your hair will feel quite rough, but once you condition it's amazing. I cant get enough of the smell in these products, to the point I wish they made a perfume line!

RESTORATIVE HAIR MASK : This hair mask is specifically for weakened and damaged hair. It's a protein for your hair to rebuild hair's strength and elasticity. You use it once a week for 5-7 minutes. I like this product a lot, it's truly helping my damaged hair. You must condition after using this product if not your hair will feel straw like!

CURL DEFINING CREAM : This product is great if you have naturally wavy/curly hair. it will enhance and define your hair's natural look. I like this product because it leaves your hair able to move and does not look like you have any product in your hair!

LUMINOUS HAIRSPRAY: I do not know how to express my love for this hair spray. If there is one product you need to try, it's this one! It works amazing, smell's amazing, leaves your hair looking natural. and leaves no residue! you cannot go wrong with this product!

MOROCCANOIL TREAMENT: Ofcourse, everyone knows about the famous moroccanoil. There is two different formulas for this oil, The original is for all hair types, and then you have the "light" which is for either thin hair or blonde hair. Both work amazing. This oil leaves my hair shine, as well as light weight, conditioned and once more SMELLS AMAZING.

Longer, Thicker, Fuller Lashes! Fake lash Effect.

"Volumizing lash powder" by essence cosmetics, is what this amazing product is called. It is a product made of mini-fibers that give you a fake lash effect without the hassle of glueing on lashes or paying 200$+ for eyelash extensions!

It's so easy to use this product. First apply your favorite mascara, then dip the wand that comes with the package, in the mini-fibers and work it threw your lashes and then simply apply another coat of mascara. You can keep building the length and thickness of your eyelashes depending on how many times you repeat this process. In the picture above I applied the mini-fibers to my lashes twice.

This product is a must have if you love the dramatic look!

Argan Oil ; Morocco's "Liquid Gold"


Back in May when I visited the beautiful country of Morocco, I already knew I had to get pure argan oil. 

Argan oil only produces in Morocco, which makes it very special and rare. I use it as a beauty product, Mainly as a daily face moisturizer.



Argan Oil Beauty Benefits;

  • Hair: Argan oil is a great product to use on frizzy, dry, damaged hair. It will add shine and moisture to your hair. You can apply it to towel dryed hair, or hair that is already dry makings sure to concentrate only on your ends!
  • Face: yes, I know.. applying oil to your face sounds weird right? don't worry! Argan oil is a dry oil which mean it absorbs right into your skin! leaving it radiant, smooth, and soft. I use it every morning, I love the effect!
  • Body: You can use argan oil as a body moisturizer. The bottles of Argan oil tend to be on the smaller side. Instead of using it pure you can mix it in with your favorite body moisturizer, it will save you product and give's a great result!


Les Glaceurs Choco-Orange Cupcakes!

These Choco-Orange cupcakes from Les Glaceurs are so scrumptious. The cake is very moist and the icing is one of the best I've ever had on a cupcake. I would say they taste very high quality. I'm very satisfied and I look forward to trying their other flavours!

MOXIE'S: "Mango Chipotle Chicken"


It's so refreshing to find a healthy and delicious plate. The "Mango Chipotle Chicken" is so satisfying but because it's so good you never want it to end. It includes a good portion of chicken, quinoa, vegetables and a delicious mango sauce.  It's a bit pricey but worth every penny! We are definitely going back. 10/10

Juliette et chocolat

"Chocolate fondue duo": We took the milk chocolate and and dark semi sweet chocolate. We are not too impressed with the fondue but it was still good. It would be better if we could choose which fruits we want or what we want the most of. Our rating is 7/10.


"The fleur de sel": There are no words to describe how delicious this brownie is! It's warm, soft, the caramel is absolutely delicious. There is just so much flavour.. simply phenomenal. You must try it! Rating: 10/10 maybe even more..

Baby Lips - Lip Balm By Maybelline


Where do i begin? I can say that I've probably suffered from chapped lips my whole life. I've lost count on how many lip balms I've tried that said they worked wonders, none worked for me. Finally, I found an amazing lip balm BABY LIPS DR. RESCUE. It comes in a variety of colors, but I personally love the none colored one. It can be worn under any lip color, hydrates immediately after aplication and stays hydrated. There is absolutely nothing to hate about this lip balm. So if you are like me and suffering from chapped lips go do yourself a favour and buy yourself one, I promise you wont regret it! 

Mac lipstick swatches&review!

Mac lipstick's have been a long time favorite for most. These lipstick's have staying power like no other, and at a great price for quality lipstick that will last you a long time is a must have!

These 5 colors are by far my favourite, but my collection wont end here, so lets start!

Starting from the top right:

"Girl About Town"- A wonderful mix between pink/red.

"Candy yumyum"- BAM! is all I think of when i have this color on. it's a beautiful pink, just make sure your rocking a very simple eye with this lip color!

"Impassioned" - A perfect deep coral, perfect summer color.

"Snob"- my all time favorite! perfect color for any occasion!

"Creme d'Nude" If I had to choose a least favorite it would be this one. Lips must be VERY well hydrated before applying or else u will end up with alot of cracked lines.

"Choco Coco"- Allo Mon Coco

The "Choco Coco" Plate at Allo Mon Coco has everything we look for when we go for breakfast. The portions vary with the locations of the restaurant, which could be disappointing but the taste is always good! The potatoes are unique and really tasty and their scrambled eggs are one of the best by far. The crepe is sweet with bananas and chocolate..really filling!This is our favorite breakfast! Our rating 9/10.

Rotisserie St-Hubert - St-Hubert Poutine Review

This poutine from St-Hubert is as delicious as it looks. It's a St-Hubert special, it includes the classic fries,  BBQ gravy sauce and cheese curds. But what makes this so unique is they added breaded chicken breasts (which are extremely tender), rib sauce and seasonings. I definitely recommend this to anyone.  I rate this 10/10!
