LOTD: May 25th, 2014

Never let your gel eyeliners dry out because they are awful to use after that point. Thanks to my mom for drying out her Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner and not telling me before starting a look with it as the look's focal point. Other than that, today was a great/tiring day and I found a lip pencil that makes me happy to wear nude lips!

New Baby! MAC's True Love's Kiss Limited Edtion Lipstck from theMaleficient Collection!

Note to self: Never order something online right before a long weekend because you will die waiting for an excess amount of days to receive your order. 

I ordered this right before May Long Weekend and it drove me up the wall waiting until the following Tuesday for it to arrive! Sadly, I thought they would just put it in my apartment mailbox, but I actually had to be present for the delivery and so I missed the original delivery and after many calls with FedEx, taping a sign to the delivery guy on the building door, annoying my best friend with my whines about waiting for it to arrive, and staying home on Wednesday from school, I finally got my lipstick!!!

Okay, two exciting things to share! Firstly, my boyfriend is home today from school in New York! YAY! And secondly, my True Love's Kiss lipstick from MAC's limited edition Maleficient Collection arrived yesterday and I was dying to wear it today! Oh! Also, my eyes were inspired by one of @roseandben's recent cut crease look on Instagram!

I tried to keep things simple with today's look as I had an interview with Aritzia today, so here it is! I repeated my lips from the other day just because I'm loving that lip combo so much!

I felt like a flower fairy princess today! The photos don't really capture the purple glowiness to the look or show the true colors, but oh well. And I found another way to wear my Up the Amp lipstick! Yay! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend and is (more or less) ready to face this week head on!

Happy May Long Weekend everyone!!! I hope you're all as excited as I am to have a four day break from everything!

I had dinner tonight with my boyfriend's family and it was really nice. I miss them when I don't get to see them as often when he's off at school in New York! I didn't want such a dark look for dinner, but I wanted these eyes and then Filme Noire was just calling my name and I just couldn't say no... here's today's LOTD!

Today I wanted to recreate this look from @mykie_ on Instagram. I absolutely love her work and she is a total gem! Very talented! I felt like a canary/penguin today and I enjoyed every second of it. And I'm actually very impressed with myself after how my eyes turned out! Clearly I was missing the birdy falsies, but I like how I recreated it!

Today was a happy day as it was my boyfriend and I's year and a half anniversary (check out his food blog: www.vancouverfoodie.blogspot.com) and so I was feeling happy and had lots of fun playing with my makeup and I really like how it turned out!

I was really happy with today's makeup! I love this look so much! I am beginning to learn that sunny days are not your best friend when attempting to take photos in natural lighting...

I did a black and white cut crease today before meeting up with a good friend of mine who just came home from a six month trip and I think it turned out really well! I'm happy to say I'm getting better at cut creases!

I felt like I had all the time in the world this morning because I didn't have to go to school until 10am because of a field trip so I took advantage of it! Wow it's rare for me to wear makeup to school these days...

The RR Review: Smashbox's Pearl Halo Highlighting Wand

I typically use MAC's Vanilla pigment to highlight, but recently I have been looking for a liquid eyeliner versus a powder. There's always the Yves St. Laurent Touche Éclat, but I feel like it's too Plain Jane to give an actual highlight, it mostly just gives off a slightly brightened affect for me or I use it to clean up my brows. I decided to give Smashbox's Halo Highlighting Wand in Pearl a shot and I'd say it's a fairly nice product!

The RR Review: MAC Cosmetics's Studio Sculpt Shade and Line

I waited and waited and waited for this product to come out and finally it has arrived! MAC Cosmetics should really make this part of their permanent collection--I love it and I only bought two, but I think I'll need to go back for more before they're gone! 

This is a 3-in-1 product with two eyeshadows and a gel like eyeliner in the centre. All three can be applied wet or dry; I prefer using the eyeliner wet, but it's up to you!

These are amazing. Everyone needs one of these. This product comes in 8 gorgeous blends and are only available for a limited time only! This product is great for those who want a quick and easy versatile look in one or for those who are looking to try/love cut creases! It's super easy to work with and there is a blend for everyone out there!

Today I did a bold, black and yellow cut crease! A lot of people told me it looked Egyptian, but I was thinking more like a bumblebee!
