Hi Guys! I just wanted to do a quick post that did not involve having to showcase an outfit because to be honest I have been SO busy this holiday season between work, family and trying to get some shopping done in between… the weather here in Toronto has also been SUPER cold and by the time I get home it has been pitch black … all of that means that I need to save my “outfit post” for the weekend… haha… it always becomes harder in the winter!
Anyways, I thought I would share some of my favourite products that I have been using a lot recently – I didn't include my foundation here because if you look to the post before this one you can probably guess what I have been into!
On My lips I have been liking nude colours such as my Rimmel Nude Delight (inexpensive and one of my favourite nude lippies!) with a gloss on top such as Revlon’s Life’s a Peach layered on top. I have been also liking Benefits Stay don't Stray as a primer for my eyelids – I like that it cancels out redness and helps even out the skin on your lids – I think I want to try the Urban Decay primer potion next in Eden – my paint pots have been a little drying for the winter lately. MAC’s melon pigment over the eyelid up to the crease has been a simple but put together and awake look I have been liking for lazy mornings when you have about 5 minutes to get ready (because you would rather sleep in that extra 10 :P). Then in the crease I have been liking browns such as the ones from the Wet n Wild Vanity palette (which is AMAZING!).. the cream colour in this palette is also a great dupe for my beloved MAC Blanc Type to use on the brow bone to highlight.. and winged black liner with mascara to finish the look. Rimmel’s Lash Maxx is still my love – the bristles and brush are huge and perfect for getting thick lashes! I love the No7 concealer to hide redness around my nose and blemishes that I might have on my face…On my cheeks you will pretty much always find NARS Laguna bronzer and Orgasm blush on the apples of my cheeks… I really love the quality Iof NARS makeup (although I don't own much of it) but it is so expensive and you know the saying.. you pay for what you get> ? Well, not not really because there are so many awesome drugstore finds that rival “high end” brands … I have been quite choosy lately in what it is that I choose to spend my hard earned cash on .. and lately, that involves going through the stash that I already own and putting what I have to good use ;)
Hope you all have a great week!

I have to try the Rimmel Nude Delight. I love the entire nude trend as I've always liked keeping it natural. <3
Just a heads up, if you're finding Mac Paint Pots to be too drying you'll likely feel the same way with the UD Primer Potion - It's more drying generally than the PP's. Too Faced Shadow Insurance is a great alternative and not NEARLY as drying as the UDPP - plus you can get all of the product out since it's in a tube. :) Wow, that sounds like a sales pitch. I promise I don't work for them lol just a happy customer. :) HTH! :)
Wow- I would have never considered wet and wild - I will check out their palette! I know how it is over here I get off work and its dark already too- not pitch black though. Its also kind of a downer when it is too cold to snow so its freezing outside without the lovely mood of having snow near the holidays. Its okay though - thats what beloved coffee is for ;)

I have been trying to find Rimmel's Nude Delight forever! I think they must not sell that color it in the states...does anyone know? The color is right up my alley!
I love all the products you are using. I'll have to check out those Wet N Wild palettes.
Gorgeous makeup! Your makeup always look so flawless!
Eternally yours,
