APRIL and MAY FAVOURITES! 2017

Happy Tuesday! I’m very happy to bring you my April & May Favourites and this will be the last favourites blog post for the time being. I’m very excited to share things that I’ve been madly in love with in April and continue to love in May. I will start with Netflix and TV.

I started watching Vampire Diaries on Netflix again. I just LOVE it so much. Obsessed with the show. I’m also really blown away by The Handmaid’s Tale on the BRAVO Channel. It’s a very powerful story and it was the first novel that I ever read in grade 9 from start to finish. Just warning it can be dark and disturbing. Currently i’m also watching Pretty Little Liars. So far it’s really intense. I’ll be so sad when it’s all over.

In April I had the loveliest opportunity to visit BITE Beauty Lab in Toronto. It was so much fun. I had the greatest experience with other beautiful bloggers. To read more about my experience and what I named my lipsticks check out my post: BITE Beauty Lip Lab Par-Tay! WARNING This post includes hot lipsticks! I loved the process and creating my own personalized lip colours and flavours was incredible fun.

I’ve been really loving AVON TRUE COLOUR Eyebrow pencil in Brunette. This pencil works so nicely and also blends smoothly. It is also the same colour as my eyebrows so it looks natural. Love it! Smooth, soft and creamy.

I absolutely LOVE Marcelle Waterproof Gentle Make-up remover pads. They are perfect in every way. They take away my eye makeup so well and I can’t live without them. What I love about these is that they really eliminate the amount of rubbing around the eye area. I don’t even have to rub back and forth. I just place the pad on the eye for a minute and swipe the makeup away. Love them!

Skincare by AVON is incredible. The ANEW line is wonderful and I highly recommend this specific cream for neck and chest. This is the ANEW PLATINUM FIRM AND SCULPT CREAM for the neck and chest area.

COVERGIRL TOTAL TEASE REVIEW

COVERGIRL has come out with TOTAL TEASE! A new mascara that supposed to give you “FULL + LONG +REFINED” eyelashes. My first impressions are as follows: The packaging is lovely! Love the colour and the handle. It’s very unique. Very bold and beautiful!

When I opened it up I was like “Where are the bristles?” “How is this thing supposed to give me full long lashes? What is going on HERE! haha… In all seriousness though let me tell you and show you the results of this mascara. Is it worth it? should you buy it?

This is one of those wands that you have to blink down to get the product on the lashes. It also applies better when you put the wand to the base of your lashes and move the wand slowly back and forth and then up. Like a little wiggle.

It’s actually very frustrating because it is not your traditional wand. The traditional wands grab all the lashes and you don’t have to work hard at it. Where are the bristles? How can you expect anything to grab on to little bumps? Sorry but I have to be honest. I’m just not use to this minimalistic wand.

Besides working hard at it, the darn thing actually works! Yes I have to blink down to get the product and wiggle to and fro but it really lengthens my lashes! It also fans them out so nicely! It does clump my lashes a little but I really love the look that this formula and wand gives. I also like the tip of the wand.

Random thought: The wand reminds me of Anastasia Baranova’s Character Addy in Z NATION. I adore her as an actress don’t you? She is amazing! Back to the review.

So the tip on one side really helps do the lower lashes and also love how you can use that tip to do the outer and inner part of the lashes. Makes it great for the little areas.

A few other lovely Covergirl mascaras are the Katy Kat Eye and the So Lashy. Love them!

So my overall thoughts are that I have to work a little harder at putting the mascara on by blinking downwards and wiggling it to and fro at the base of the eyelashes. It clumps the lashes together if I add more then one coat. I had to apply 2 coats to really see thicker fuller lashes. But only one coat for my lashes to have length. I like the tip of the wand and like the overall results.

So would you buy this mascara? Let me know. I would probably go for the Katy Kat Eye mascara, especially that lovely blue! I love blue.

I Spy With My Little Eye COVERGIRL on RIVERDALE! Hot Show & Bold Makeup!

Riverdale is an American teen drama television series based on the characters by Archie Comics. It was ordered to series at The CW in May 2016, and the 13-episode first season premiered on January 26, 2017. It was adapted for television by Archie Comics’ chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and executive produced by Greg Berlanti -wikipedia

Really excited to share with you my latest obsession. The Series RIVERDALE which is on Netflix. I know, I hate that word OBSESSION. It’s overused, but whatever. I love the show and I love reading the comic books. Ever since I was little I’ve been enjoying Archie Comics and they’ve made a Series based on the Characters. I love how the actors bring the characters to life. There’s Jughead played by Cole Sprouse, Archie played by KJ Apa, Betty played by Lili Reinhart, Veronica played by Camila Mendes, Cheryl Blossom played by Madelaine Petsch and more fabulous actors and actresses. The cast is incredible! I also can’t help but be in love with the makeup and outfits in this series. That’s obvious!

I spy with my little eye COVERGIRL on RIVERDALE:

*So lashy Mascara

Lipstick 310 Seduce Scarlet (Purchased by my self)

It’s very obvious because they pause one minute on each Covergirl product, but I don’t mind. I love Covergirl and if the girls on RIVERDALE wear Covergirl well so will I! I’m so inspired and can’t wait to share all the makeup looks that i’ve created today. Okay three makeup looks. Cheryl Blossom, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge. But before I get into the makeup let me tell you a little about the show.

The series takes place in a little town called RIVERDALE. Feels a lot like the town from TWILIGHT, I won’t lie but I love Twilight so thats a bonus for me. The series has a 50’s feel to it but still very modern and takes place in the present time. The only thing that I hope they improve on is the setting. It seems to me that the only place they go to in each episode is each other’s homes, the school, the forest and no mall! I wish they would include the mall. They only include Pop’s CHOCK’LIT SHOPPE, oh yes and Archie’s father’s job site. But I hope the remaining episodes change a bit in terms of setting. No big deal but it does get stagnant.

The series starts off with a murder investigation. Someone has murdered Cheryl Blossom’s brother and everyone gets tangled up in the messy situation. All the characters face challenges and relationship issues. The storyline keeps getting better and better in each episode. What I find most incredible is how the characters change. Not physically change but emotionally alter. Latest episode jughead really surprised me. Very deep stuff happening.

The ladies really run the show in this series and I adore how strong they are. There’s Betty, Veronica and the fierce Cheryl. There’s also the Pussycat dolls and they are amazing! I adore how strong they are. Fierce and strong. Also incredibly talented.

I relate to Betty, Veronica and Cheryl in many ways. I see a bit of me in each one and this has inspired me to create the makeup looks that I’m about to show you. The make up in the show is flawless and inspiring. Each character has their own fierce style.

I’m going to start with…

Cheryl Blossom

Cheryl Blossom might be the villain but she is fierce and very stylish. Her lips are ALWAYS bold and bright. When Cheryl is in the room the first thing you see is the lips and then her fierce defined eyes. She might be mean and have ulterior motives but I can’t help feel sorry for her. She is lonely and sad inside. She takes it out on others by being hurtful and snarky. The only thing I like about Cheryl is that she challenges people. She also surprises others when they are not expecting it by helping. Or is it because she wants to get something out of it?

MAKEUP LOOK

For Cheryl Blossom I focused on defining the eyes and extending the eyelashes. I also focused on using a bright red lip colour. The products I used are the following:

Hair extensions by: Irresistible Me

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*COVERGIRL Eyeshadow JEWELS Eyeshadow palette (second one from the left, the lilac colour)

*COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

*COVERGIRL Outlast All Day in RICHEST RED 130

*For the Eyeliner I used the Jewels Eyeshadow palette. I used the black colour (I wet it and used this shadow as a liner)

JEWELS COVERGIRL Trunaked

Next lets talk about my favourite girl

Veronica Lodge

Veronica is sweet, kind and always stands up for what’s right. She is fierce and defends the ones she loves. She’s a go-getter and loves her friends very much. She also has a crush on Archie. She loves her pearls and is very mature for her age. She is sassy and classy. I love her character so much. She definitely loves challenges and will take up anyone on a challenge. She is strong and smart.

MAKEUP LOOK

For this makeup look I noticed that Veronica loves the fine eyeliner and the lip is a lovely vampy purple. She loves her pearls so I’ve added them in the photo. She loves to line the upper eyelid. I also filled my eyebrows closer to my nose. I kind of like them this way. What do you think?

For this makeup look I used the following:

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*Eyelashes I used COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

Covergirl eyeshadow palette Goldens and used the 3rd one from the left. A soft brown.

*The Eyeliner is from the Jewels true naked Eyeshadow palette and I used the black one to line my eyelids.

*Lips I used COVERGIRL Outlast all day in the colour 155 Deep Burgandy

COVERGIRL OUTLAST ALL-DAY COLOURS

The hardest makeup look to achieve was Betty Cooper. The no makeup-makeup look was a challenge. I had a hard time with it because it’s all about highlight and low lights. To make the makeup look natural without creating a flat surface. First I will say that Lili Reinhart is so so beautiful! It was hard to become her in this makeup look because she is the all American looking girl and I’m a Greek girl if you know what I mean. lol So I decided to just take the makeup and apply it to my self and not actually become her but take what I can from her look and make it me. I hope that makes sense.

BETTY COOPER

She is sweet, kind and wants to do the right thing all the time. She loves her sister and wants to protect her. She might look sweet and perfect but she’s not to be messed with. She has a deep dark side that sometimes bubbles to the surface so don’t cross her. It’s Betty’s way or the Highway!

For this makeup look I used the following:

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion in 105 Classic Ivory.

Covergirl Concealer Ready Set Gorgeous

*Covergirl Easy Breezy Brow in the colour Soft Brown

*Eyelashes I used COVERGIRL Mascara So Lashy! Black

*COVERGIRL Eyeshadow JEWELS Eyeshadow palette (second one from the left, the lilac colour)

Because I didn’t have a covergirl blush I just used the same eyeshadow for blush and from the same palette I used the first and lightest colour for highlight.

*For the lips I used OUTLAST ALL-CUSTOM RED in the colour 850 Extraordinary Fuchsia and used very little followed by Outlast All Day in the colour 110 Passionate Pink.

OUTLAST ALL-DAY CUSTOM REDS

I love COVERGIRL Outlast all-day Custom Reds because they are shiny, super long lasting and feel really nice on the lips. It comes with the all day colour coat which is applied first and then topped up with the moisturizing top coat.

This is the new COVERGIRL mascara Total Tease and I’m currently testing it out. I’ll get back to you all with a little review soon.

A Holiday Makeup Look with COVERGIRL!

I’m truly excited to share with you my Covergirl Holiday makeup look! This look is super easy and fun!

I created this look with the following Covergirl Makeup:

I used new Covergirl trunaked eyeshadow palette Jewels! This palette is so beautiful and colourful. I added light pink, gold, green and purple on my eyelids. This palette is perfect for any occasion. Perfect for a bright day look and dramatic enough for an evening and party look. The shadows are smooth and soft, they apply really smoothly and evenly. The colours definitely brighten the eyes. I absolutely love this palette and I had so much fun playing with all the colours.

Next I have two amazing liquid eyeliners and they definitely intensify the eyes! The two colours are 305 Smoked Amber and 315 Sapphire. For my makeup look I used 205 Smoked Amber. These liquid eyeliners go on very nicely and evenly.

I really like the paddle tip. It is fantastic to create either a thick or thin line with ease.

I’m really loving the So Lashy! Mascara! The brush is brilliantly designed. It grabs all the eyelashes and twirls them upward giving them beautiful length, definition and fullness.

I really love the Easy Breezy Brow Shape + Define because it is super easy to use and it fills in my eyebrows and at the same time keeps them down.

The Colour Outlast All Day Intense Lip Duo are long lasting and will not budge from the lips. You might just need to apply a little more gloss during the day but it definitely is long lasting and very comfortable to wear. I love all the colours! Which one is your favourite?

I absolutely love these three colours and in the photo I’m wearing 135 Precious Ruby.

I hope you enjoyed my Holiday Makeup look with all Covergirl products.

I also hope you enjoyed the video.

Happy Holidays!
