One Hundreth Post & Make-up of the Day

 Hey everyone!

Yesssss!! It's the weekend. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to sleep in tomorrow. Oh my goodness I have been awake everyday this week at 4am... Really sucks!

I just wanted to announce that this is my 100th post!!! YAY! Thank you to everyone who has supported me. I am loving the blog world and love all my wonderful readers. You all are amazing and I'm so thankful that you take time out of your day to read my blog. It's a work in the making and I'm trying to think of things to make it even more enjoyable to read!

I am hoping that by next year I will have a better camera to work with. I know how much better it makes a blog, but thank you to everyone for sticking with me and my blurry-ness! LOL.

I just wanted to do a quick make up of the day! This is my day to day make up that makes me feel pretty and confident. I like going with simple colors and simple application.

I know it might look like I have a ton of products.. but really, it takes me under ten minutes to do my make up everyday. I don't like spending all my time doing my make up. I like spending more time doing my hair..lol

The products above are:

- Laura Mercier Silk Foundation in Medium Ivory
- M.A.C Studio fix powder in C3
- Smashbox bronzer (I also alternate with NARS Laguna)
- Bobbi Brown Peony Blush (recommended by Veronika of Veronika's blushing)
- NARS Albatross highlighter
- Maybelline's Age Rewind Instant Dark Circle Eraser
- M.A.C gel liner in dipdown
- M.A.C loose eyeshadow in Vanilla
- NARS eyeshadow in Belissima (I actually use the darker shade on my eyebrows.. I know.. weird huh?)
- L'Oreal Million Lashes in Black
- Forever 21 lipgloss (just a very sheer, glossy, pink-y/sparkle-y color)

That's pretty much it ladies. Of course I switch up my make up here and there, but that is just a basic idea of products I use on a daily basis. When I go out though, I like to play up my eyes more, but during the week, I just like to keep it simple and fresh.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I went shopping today so I will post all about my new purchases tomorrow.. stay tuned!!

Shopping Haul: Laura Mericer, Bobbi Brown & S Factor

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

I am so tired!!! I slept in until 11am this morning. My body is just DONE from my first week at my new job. I'm hoping to rest up this weekend and just veg, because I think my body and mind just need a break and a chance to re-group!! lol

Anyhow, I was at Yorkdale shopping the other day. I have been looking for a sweater coat, or some sort of fall coat to wear over my work clothes, but I just can't find anything. It's always so gross out in the morning and I think I need something with a hood so my hair doesn't frizz up... Oh-my-goodness I just hate that!!!

Anyhow, I couldnt' find anything, but I did pick up a few things that I needed, and a new product that a few blogs that I read.. RAV about!!

Here is what I got..

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Medium Ivory

I absolutely LOVE LM's foundation. I always get medium ivory because it's more yellow toned. I have very pink-y skin, so it helps minimize the pink tones and also gives the best coverage!! It's a little pricey, but you pay for quality! It's totally worth it IMO.

The next purchase I got, was totally a splurge. I love blush!!! I always look for different colors to try. I guess blush would be one of my top 3 favorite make up products. I have been reading a few reviews for this blush, and I have heard nothing but amazing stuff. So since I was at Holt Renfrew, I thought I would give it a go!

Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony

Isn't it such a pretty color? I layered it on a little heavy so you can see it on my face. I wish my camera was more clear sigh.  I am very happy with my purchase. I love Bobbi Brown make-up. I wish there was one closer to my house, so whenever I can get to Holt Renfrew in Yorkdale Mall, it's one of the first places I go to :)

The last purchase I got, was from when I got my hair color refreshed. I wanted to wait to post about it because I wanted to try it a few times to let you know what I thought of it.

It's S-Factor's Serious Conditioner

My hair colorist, Cayla, told me to try this. She said that it is one of the BEST conditioners to use. I think it's supposed to be a conditioner you use maybe once a week, but she told me that it's ok to use each time I wash my hair, because I only wash it 2-3 times a week anyway. So far I LOVE this!!! My hair has felt smooth, frizz-free, and the smell is also really nice!! I will continue to use this. I just put on a quarter size amount, really concentrate on putting it from the nape of my neck, downwards to my ends. I leave it on for about 2 minutes, then rinse. This product is pricey, but I have heard (not only from Cayla), and people's hair I adore, that they use this product because it's the best that they have found!!! I would have to agree that this is so far... amazing!!!!

So, that's pretty much it. I am goingo head downstairs, make some dinner and have a few drinks. 

Hope everyone has a great Saturday night!!!

Hugs,

Mel
