Make Up For Ever | Star Collection Lab Shine Lip Gloss

I am one of those girls that always layers lip gloss over lipstick. It’s something I started doing when I was 14 and now I can’t leave the house without seeing my own reflection in my glossy finish. When I was a teenager, I went through tube after tube of clear multi-coloured glitter gloss and now that I’m a little older, I have opted for a more grown-up sparkle. Enter Make Up For Ever Lab Shine Lip Gloss. The Lab Shine series houses three different collections (Diamond, Star and Metal) each delivering its own version of shiny goodness in 35 shades. The one I have is in the shade SO (Pearly Nude) and is from the Star Collection.

This gloss combines camelina oil and mother-of-pearl particles that reflect light to create incredible shine that adds volume to the lips. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it provides intense hydration with a non-sticky texture for a noticeably moisturized pout. Its subtle apricot fragrance also adds a sweet scent to your lips.

April 2013 Ipsy Bag | Pretty in Pink

So, it’s almost the end of May and look what I have! April’s Ipsy Bag! I just received May’s Glam Bag which, as some of you have seen, is totally awesome. April’s theme is a fun one though and I do love all things pink!

KKCenterHK | Mint Green Circle Studs

Mint green is THE colour at the moment so when I saw these mint green circular studs on KKCenterHK, visions of ice cream and beautiful florals started swirling in my head. They caught my eye instantly! There are A LOT of studs in this 10g jar…more than enough to do a hundred manicures with! Each stud is 2.5mm which I think is much more versatile size to work with.

For my manicure, I started off with three coats of China Glaze-Empowerment.

Come Shopping with Me!

I recently went shopping on Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver which I don’t get to do too often because I work just outside the city. I managed to catch the end of Sephora’s Chic Week (I know, I’m so late to post this!) and after much deliberation decided on the Living Proof Prime Style Extender after reading some very positive reviews. It seems like such an interesting product in that it is supposed to extend your hairstyle lifespan in addition to detangling and “perfecting hair”. It sounds fascinating!

The second products I picked up were the famous Korres Lip Butters in Quince and Jasmine. I was waiting for them to show up at my Winners, but alas they never showed up so here I was getting them during Chic Week. As a free sample, I received Lancome La Base Perfecting Makeup Primer. I really enjoy shopping online so much more because the number of samples online totally trumps how many you receive in-store!
