I am so sorry!

I am the queen of neglect! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting, I've had on hell of a week. I've been feeling really sick, I still am but its not as bad so I was able to sit myself down and get typing. I've tried filming a few videos, but the audio magically disappears whenever I upload it into Moviemaker, and I'm not sure if its my webcam giving me troubles or the program itself, if anyone knows feel free to comment! Anyways, I am really sorry I have been slacking, its just hard to get in the right mood to film or blog when you're not feeling well, I hope you all understand. I do have a haul, I'll try to film it but if I can't I'll still do a blogpost. Thanks so much guys!

Shout Out to All Cosmetics Wholesale!

I found this website from watching a few YouTubers over the past few years, and I finally checked it out. All the brands they carry are authentic, and they carry a lot of limited edition and discontinued MAC products, we well as some other brands at a discount. Its also a great site to be able to place one order for say, Lime Crime, OCC and YSL all at the same time versus three separate orders. They take PayPal which is a plus, so go check them out! Its a huge site with a ton of product, so take your time and you'll be surprised with all the stuff you find. They do ship internationally! The website is www.allcosmeticswholesale.com. Check it out!

MORE New Lippies from NYX!

Damn! They are just on the ball! Not only are they releasing their Butter Lipsticks soon, they're also releasing a formula that they referred to as Macaroon Lippies on their page. Photo after the jump!

I'm now live on YouTube!

Hey everyone! I started up a channel to go with this blog, so check out my little intro mainly consisting of me saying "uh" and flailing my hands around. Yay for awkwardness! In all seriousness, I'll be posting reviews and tutorials on this channel, and of course I'll be doing blog posts to go with it. Thanks for watching!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Release Date for Sephora!

Hey everyone!
 I wanted to make this quick post about when Naked 3 will be hitting Sephora's just to get the news out in the air. From looking around online I've seen people debating the online release date, but according to Temptalia it'll be online December 6th! As for in stores, it should be in December 12th. This is fantastic timing because those who are Beauty Insiders, VIB's or even VIB Rouge will have recieved a card through their email and mail for either 15$ off of 50$ (Beauty Insiders) or 20$ off 50$ (VIB + VIB Rouge)! So definitely hold on to those until the release date, but keep in mind they do expire within the month.

Happy Shopping!

November Favourites!

Hey guys! Sorry I'm behind on the postings, I had a really bad migraine and needed to just lay in the dark with Tylenol, food and a blanket and let it pass. I can't believe its December! I guess its time to start popping out the Christmas / New Years looks! I'll be using images for this post from the Sephora website, as it's dark so I lost any hope of decent photos, but I still wanted to get this up. On to the favourites after the jump!

Sorry for the lack of posts!

I had a super busy training day today at work, I'll be back at it tomorrow with a review or two, do not fear!

Hope you're all enjoying your holiday weekend, let me know about what damage you did on the sales today!

Thanksgiving Look!

Tay's Tweezing Tips!

Hey everyone!

I just want to quickly mention that I by no means consider myself some kind of eyebrow professional, I'm just sharing tips that I find work best for myself. Lets get started!

• Fill in your brows in the desired shape and thickness before tweezing, to avoid over-plucking and wonky brows.
• Your natural brow shape is typically what suites your face best- so don’t try to change it too much! Simply clean up around the edges and fill them in for a face-framing, polished look.
• Don’t use a magnifying mirror- you want to be able to see your whole face and both brows during the process. Lean in of course to get a better view when you pluck a hair, but use your regular make-up or bathroom mirror.
• Go back and forth. Don’t fully clean up one brow then move to the other, go back and forth between to get the best symmetry. Do remember- brows are sisters, not twins!
• Help cut down on pain by tweezing in the direction of the hair growth. Doing so helps to ensure the hair is removed with the least amount of pain, rather than pulling in the opposite direction and possibly breaking the hair, making it more difficult to remove.
• Maintain. Do your best to keep brow maintenance in your regular routine, rather than letting it go and having a much more difficult mess to clean up.
• If you choose to get your brows done professionally, choose carefully! I recommend going to a place that specializes in hair removal rather than a hair or nail salon that does brows on the side. This is great for beginners as it takes out some of the work, and then you can maintain them yourself a home!
• I personally prefer slanted tweezers, I find I can get the closest with them versus a flat tweezer, and honestly the pointed ones just frighten me! I recommend Tweezerman tweezers, I own a pair myself and they are not only top quality, but will last you ages. They’re available here at Sephora in a lovely variety of colours.
• Lastly- don't panic! Brows do grow back if you feel you've over-plucked a bit. Many brands also make serums to help with brow and lash growth, such as MAC, which I plan on testing in the upcoming months. 

Happy Tweezing!

Welcome to the blog life!

Hellllooooooo!

 I see you've stumbled upon my blog. I'm just getting started- I'll be posting first impressions, in-depth reviews, product announcements and more! As an "about me"- to be brief- I'm currently employed with a certain Cosmetics Company here in Waterloo. I was hired close to a month ago, and have decided to stray from my original career path as an Early Childhood Educator and join the beauty community. It's been my passion for years, so why not make some cash off it, right? I'm 18 so I still have tons of time to learn, but like many of you here, I'm sure, I've been watching beauty video's on YouTube like some sort of addict, so I feel confident enough in my skill and experience to share my opinions with you! Hopefully one day this blog will build up to be something like Temptalia, who by all means is a beauty blogging queen!

Let the blogging begin!
