October Favs!! -____-" super late postttt!!


These are 9 of my most used products last month! Some I will continue to use through out the next months, some are empty and need a re buy! Next month I will have a whole new batch to share my thoughts on, but for now I'll leave you with this!

Mane 'n Tail Herbal Essence line
 Ive been trying to grow my hair out since cutting it short last March, and Ive been using the Mane 'n Tail products for a while. They help to thicken my hair, and actually has helped grow my hair a bit faster over time. I noticed when i first started using the original line, my hair was getting very dry and brittle, so when they came out with their Herbal Essence, Olive Oil infused products, i jumped all over that. They currently have the shampoo, conditioner as well as a leave in conditioning and protecting spray. I love the scent of these products, and so far they really help to lock the moisture into my hair. I bought them at Walmart for a fair price, and have been using them for a few weeks now.

Dollar Store Makeup Remover
This product actually doesn't have a name...it just says Mevida, Fresh Clean Cleansing Wipes...but theses makeup remover wipes/cleansers are AMAZINGGGG!!  for 1.50 you get 25 wipes of unimaginable makeup removing ability. I will do a more in depth review of these wipes later on, but they were better then most other drugstore/ salon products. Since they double as a cleanser as well, I'm super lazy I will use 2 sheets, one to remove makeup, and one to thoroughly cleans my face. Like i said, i got them from Dollarama for only 1.50!


E.L.F Candid Coral Blush (studio line)

This is my absolute favourite blush right now. Ive been wearing it pretty much everyday. It is the perfect blend of pinky orange, with gold specks for a really light and elegant girly look. It reminds me of NARS Orgasm blush, just an extremely toned down version, although you can still see the highlights from the gold specs and the pink shades. I bought this from Target for 3 dollars. (You can also find it on the elf website.)
E.L.F Tinted Moisturiser (studio line)
Like the blush, this is a product iv been wearing nearly every day. Its a sheer to medium coverage tinted moisturiser in the colour Sand, and it fits my complexion almost too perfectly...sometimes I cant remember where i have already applied it. It keeps my face moisturised and does a good job of covering all my blemishes without making me cakey or fake looking. It also has an spf of 20, so it acts as the perfect light coverage for summer or winter. I bought this from Target as well for 3 dollars. (Also available on the elf site.)

Joe Fresh Liquid Liner
Another one of my absolute favourite items in my makeup bag. This small pen like liner makes perfect shapes, and consistent lines. The felt tip is flexible and easy on the eyelids, so it doesn't feel like its scraping your face off. The black liner is extremely deep and perfect for an edgy look. The liner stays on all day once it dries after application, and doesn't smudge or melt away. At only 6 dollars from Joe Fresh its something i couldn't pass up.

Rimmle Tri Colour Eye Shadow (621 Orion)
I never really had any neutral brown shadows until i picked up this one from Shoppers Drug Mart. Since I'm already brown, I didn't think i needed / could wear brown tones properly, but i found this wonderful shadow trio. Each colour actually shows up and contours my eyes wonderfully. The colours give off a very sophisticated and mature look, but can be mixed and changed to do anything from a super simple daytime look, to an edgy night time smokey eye. I bought this one on sale for around 4 dollars.

Diane Lai Rejuvenate Moisturiser
Since its getting cooler, my face is becoming dryer during the day, so I thought it would be a good time to get a light daytime moisturiser. I have combination skin depending on the months, so this all natural moisturiser from Diane Lai was the perfect thing.  It comes in an easy to use pump, which gives you the appropriate amount, and a very light non sticky base for you to layer makeup onto. It works wonderfully with my elf tinted moisturiser, acting almost as a primer, evening out the surface of my skin and making a great base to work from. This was actually gifted, so as of right now I'm not too sure where to get it from or the retail price.

Biotin
Along with the Mane 'n Tail products, I have been taking this vitamin supplement for long healthy hair growth.The bottle says it helps with the metabolism, but many people have been using this product specifically for healthy hair and nails, and i have jumped on the band wagon. I take one pill a day with a meal, and wait for the magic to happen. I'm not sure if it has been working much, although my hair has grown at an abnormally steady rate, although this could be due to many different factors. I bought these from Shoppers Drugmart on sale 9 dollars per 90 pills.

The Body Shop Almond Body Butter
This I can honestly say is an AMAZING product. The smell is amazing and it makes your skin so silky and smooth and just delicious. Yes...it makes your skin delicious...not edible though...shhh. At first its a little overwhelming and heavy, but i use this product on very dry areas in serious need of moisture and only at night after a shower. In the morning the area(s) are soft supple and almost moisture filled to the touch! I bought this from the Body Shop for 9 dollars.

If there are any items you readers would like thoroughly reviewed let me know and ill do my best to oblige. Stay tuned for my next post, a haul as well as my Leibster Award Questions ect. Thanks for reading!! Have a great night! :)

Happy Valentimes!! also Colorful Circle haul!!

Time for another late night post!! But it was quite an eventful day..It was VALENTINES DAYYY!!
xoxoxo love xoxoxo

To start off, I spent the morning running around and planning a wonderful dinner for my hubby while he was in class. I also had to get my mom a little sumthin sumthin too, I didn't want her to feel left out.



 I planned a special dinner for the boy with our favourite, chicken Alfredo pasta, and chocolate covered strawberries! It was really good if I do say so myself! I'm also a dork so I ran to the dollar store and bought an obscene amount of decorations for my house, as well as for my hand made valentines cards I make every year. I even folded the napkins into little hearts :3

Hubbyfriend looking pissed cuz im taking pictures and not eating lol 
(yay heart decorations!)


pasta and my chocolate covered strawberries...they didn't all fit in the chocolate bowl :(

            (Heart Napkin!!        ^^^^)


Outfit wise, I played it cool and cute with my new favourite dress. My peter pan collar dress! I love the play on cute and sexy with its black mesh and beige sweetheart neckline and collar. Not to mention I just looked really good in it!



My makeup and hair were super simple. I curled my hair in loose waves and swept it into a low side pony tail, which really went well with the cuteness of the dress. Makeup was super simple with black liner, pink, brown and golden eyeshadow and mascara. I did use some light pink blush and my Lioele pink and red lip pencils.

Here's the look. Took me only 5 min.

Close up on eyes..i make weird faces..


Now some of that makeup that I used actually came in the mail today! Oh did I forget to mention I got my Colorful Circle package? :D Well I did, and I couldn't be happier!


I only ordered three things, but I was super surprised to open the box and find a million and 1 little freebies! (Thank you jeebus!) My order included some cute clip on bangs, (I cant tell if I picked the wrong colour or if they sent me the wrong one :/ But hey, that's online shopping for ya!) Lioele All in One Gel Liner (in smokey black) and my Lioele Carry Me Blusher in the light pink colour. Tonight I used the blusher and the liner with my own makeup, and I loved them both! 




Now for the freebies! I received 2 trials of Sue Hydrating gel, Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base trial , 2 Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream trials as well as a package of Hera Aquabolic serum. Okay, so 6 more isn't a million and 1...but it might as well be..

The whole haul :)

Now a more in depth look at the items I purchased :)

The bangs are really cute, and can be worn in 3 different styles:
.
Straight

  Parted                           or                        Sideswept

They are really easy to clip in, and the style blends really well, although for me the colour is a little bit off. With a headband it looks really cute and helps hide the line between bang and real hair as well as helps to blend the colours of my hair, and the bang hair together.

The eyeliner is really nice too! It reminds me of a transformer a little because to get the brush out, you have to pull the top, flip it, take off the little brush protector, and slide it back in. Not gonna lie, I make machine noises when I put it together. :P The consistancy of the gel is really smooth and easy to apply. It really is an all in one, because its waterproof, smudge proof (after long time wear) and probably bullet proof. I wet my hand and tried scrubbing it off, even with a towel, and it wouldn't budge! Its pretty awsome!

  
                                                                         Would NOT come off...

The blush is also really nice. For me, it adds a subtle shade of pink to the cheeks and almost looks like im not wearing any blush...just a natural looking flushed cheek look. The packaging is also really cute. I love that its a  little puff. Its really easy to use and comes with a mirror on top of the cap. I love love loveee this product!




And that is all for today my friends. Time for sleep to happen since its 530 am :( I swear I'm some kind of vampire.. >.>

Goodnight moon, Good night stars, Good night readers!

QUICK SURVAY!! Would you buy stuff if i had a Blog Sale??
