Orange Lips?

I absolutely love orange'y peachy lips. I think they're great and flattering apart from the typical pink or red lips. Since spring is coming up, I think they're perfect for everyday looks. I especially love peachy lips during the summer. I own 4 peachy/orange lip colours.



First the one at the top is Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Crush, it's more orange'y than the others and I love how becomes more of a peach colour when it shows up on my lips. It's not drying or moisturizing but I do like. But since it's more matte I like to layer a gloss over it.

Next is Revlon Colorburst in Peach. This one is pretty popular. Unfortunately since my lips are kind of pigmented it doesn't really show up well on lips. Nonetheless sometimes when my lips aren't so dark I like to throw this on because I love the colour and how it's more moisturizing than other lipsticks I have tried. It's more of a natural peach and that's why I like

The one at the side a gloss and it's also pretty popular. It's the Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Life's a Peach. I love these lip glosses! They have great pigmentation and they're not too sticky and they're long lasting. Life's a Peach is nice peachy colour with gold glitter in it, it doesn't feel gritty at all. A very flattering shade, alone or on top of a lipstick.

Next 2 is Covergirl's Natureluxe Gloss Balm in Coral. This is my favourite peachy lip colour right now. It's small and portable and easy to ship out to apply when you're on the go. It's very buildable. The first swatch I swiped it 5 times on my hand, the second time I swatched it about 10 times. On your lips it gives it a light peach tint and it also has some glitter but again, not gritty. It's pretty moisturizing which a great plus because of my dry lips and it gives them a glossy finish so there're no need for gloss or anything. I will do a separate review of this in the next few days with lip swatches and everything.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Until next time xoxo

Long Time No See + Haul

Yea, I know, I've been so bad and I didn't post anything for a while. This is really bad. I had exams in January and I was so swamped and then I have a competition going on right now which is also taking up a lot of time. But I'm updating now and I'll be updating more for sure in the future now that I have a lot of spare time. Now I've had a recent haul, or a series a small hauls that I didn't post up. Mostly clothes though, I haven't really been buying beauty related things since I've been lazy (bad bad bad!). I was going to do a review on the Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balms but I lost the one I had in Marble so I'm just testing out the other one which is in coral. It will be out for sure sometime this week.


This was from today at Urban Outfitters, I looked through their sale section and I was so happy when I found this! I've been eyeing this bag for a long time because it's so cute but I thought $42 was too much for it. But today I managed to find it for only $20! I was so happy. On the Urban Outfitters site it's $24.99 now which is still more than what I bought instore. And that's in US dollars I believe. You see it right here.



Next I bought this blush from Urban Outfitters for $16. It's on the Sephora site in a set with 2 lip glosses but it's not in store and I wanted it really badly because I saw swatches of what a nice coral shade it is. I've tried it once after I took a picture of it and the gold over spray was gone right away. It's a really nice natural colour and I love it. I was also thinking of getting the Physician's Formula Happy Booster one but it's so expensive compared to this one, it was like $20 I believe? I'll have to check again. Damn you Canadian pricing!

This shirt is Talula from Aritzia. I got it for $20. It's very warm and comfy and I really like wearing it at home.

I got this shirt at Urban Planet, a lot of Urban Planets are having closing sales and I managed to snag this for only $5. Lace has been really popular lately. It's very elegant and I really like how the shoulders were a bit scrunched with the lace. It looks really nice matched with a statement necklace.
This is actually a black cardigan, I think the flash washed it out a bit. It was from Bluenotes and it was $15. It's very comfy and warm and I wear it a lot now.
I got this cardigan from Forever21 for about $21. Varsity style clothing seem to be really in right now and I couldn't pass up on this cute cardigan. It's not very warm so I always have to wear something underneath. I think it's better for warmer weather.

This is a bad cellphone pic I took when my camera wasn't readily available haha. I bought a pair of American Eagle tights for only $5! Such a good steal. I also bought the L'oreal Studio Secrets Primer because I haedr it worked really well and I was curious. Really expensive though, about $15. Since Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipsticks were on sale I bought one in Metallic Mauve for about $3. I really like the colour and these lipsticks are actually moisturizing!


Another crappy cellphone pic. I bought two necklaces off a girl on Facebook. They're both really pretty. The key necklace is really nice and has a lot of pretty charms on it. The glasses necklace has become my new favourite necklace, it's so easy to match clothes plus it's really cute.

I have some more goodies to show you but I think I will do it in another post tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day everyone, or Single Awareness Day haha.

Happy New Year!

Bah it's been a while. I should make it one of my new years resolutions to update more. I did go boxing day shopping but I'm still going to go shopping one more time so I'm going to wait before posting up a collective haul.

On Tuesday I went downtown to hang out with some friends. We went skating by the lake and then we went out to eat. I didn't fall at all even though the ice was so bumpy. We went to Harbourfront Centre to skate and there were a lot of people there!

Here's a picture of the Lake, it was really grey and cold that day but I still thought the water looked nice.

We went to a place nearby called Ichiban Sushi for dinner and I ordered a bento box with salmon teriyaki and tempura. It was pretty good but I've had better tempura. It was kind of expensive though, I think I'll try a different restaurant next time. They also give you some ice cream, which we didn't get to choose, we just got green tea ice cream but they served it in these really cool bowls which I took a picture of! I think I amuse myself too easily x.x



Here's a picture of our shoes haha. We were trying to make a star but it was too dark and all of us were wearing dark coloured shoes. I'm the one with the converse at the bottom. You can barely see anything. It sure gets dark quickly in Toronto now.

There was also a large Shoppers Drug Mart nearby so I had to go take a look. I had lost my favourite Softlips in Strawberry Sherbert the week before so I had to buy a new one. I'll include pictures in a collective haul post. Softlips were $5 plus 300 bonus points so I made sure I picked one up in Tangerine Temptation. My sister helped me choose it, she has some kind of a orange fetish right now haha. It smells really good but I think they might have reformulated it since the tingle it gives my lips is really different. I don't know how to describe it aha. I still love it though. I also bought a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Normally they're $5 but they were on sale for 2.49! So I had to pick one up since they're so good.




Now to split the chocolate orange you have to whack it. I was never good at this. I whacked it a couple of times on my desk but when I opened it I was such a fail.


Only 3 pieces came off! What a fail I am. So I tried again.

Still no luck. I whacked it against my desk again and only one piece got looser.


I did it like 10 more times and it came to this. I tired so I gave up and just ate it with my sister. Better than nothing. It tasted great. These are like my favourite chocolates but they're so expensive for me.

Anyway enough with my fail, hope you have a Happy New Year and a wonderful 2011!

Fixing Broken Eyeshadow

During the summer my sister bought me the Stila It Girl Palette and I was overjoyed! But then after I used it the first time I accidentally dropped it and all the eyeshadows were fine except for Kitten! So I fixed it not along ago. For those who don't know, you can fix broken powder products with rubbing alchol. Since this was my first time it was super messy! I did end up getting the loose shadow everwhere but I had a sample jar from Sephora and I kept the loose shadow in there.

This is how it looked like. You can see the loose shadow everywhere and how crushed up the shadow looks. I too off the loose shadow and put it in

the Sephora container like I said before and left it for a bit so that most of the alcohol would evaporate. Then I put a tissue with a jar on it so that it will be flatter when it is completely dry.

Now this is how it looks with the loose shadow in the container.

Yay! Now it's fixed! It doesn't look perfect but better than nothing! The shadows in this palette are buttery smooth but they are packed kinda loosely so I guess I have to be more careful in the future with them. It looks slightly darker as a loose shadow in the container but nonetheless when used it's the same =)

I seem to have the worst luck because the next day low and behold. I dropped my Benefit Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP! I was so upset because that's my favourite eyeshadow base. I was scared I didn't have a container for it and that it would dry up. I don't mind going out to get the full sized version because it's on 22 bucks and I love it so much. This was from the Benefit To Go set I think, but I think I'm going to grab the full sized when I have time. Or maybe get one in a different colour. This is how the jar looked like when it smashed. Sorry for the lighting, don't know what happened. I had already taken out the cream eyeshadow by this time.

I had a jar from my Korres lip butter so I put it all in their. Hopefully it won't dry up too quickly. It looks like this now.

It was a bit messy but nonetheless I still have my cream shadow! Hopefully I'll have time to go pick up a full size since school is seriously killing me now!

Ok this was a pretty long post. I hope I don't break anything anymore. Oh well, toodles.
