It's been a minute since I have shared anything on the blog. Lots has been going on personally and therefore I needed to take a much needed break. I'm happy to start sharing things on the blog again :)<br />
<br />
So, what better way then to start my return to blogging than to share a beauty look post! In my opinion, one of the easiest ways to change your look is with Lipstick! It's easy, and you can choose how bold you go.<br />
<br />
I picked a few of my faves from the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lipsticks! It's a mix of some fun shades that work well seasonally, especially for the Summer!<br />

These lipsticks are super matte, so if you want a smoother way to apply them, add a bit of Vaseline or Chapstick on your lips before you apply. This will help by making it a smoother application.<br />
<br />
Hope you get to try these on for the summer!</div>

<br />
Instagram made me do it! This is the foundation that Instagram beauty influencers told me to buy! Truthfully, I am glad I did!<br />
<br />
Through my makeup counter experience, I have been lucky to have had an opportunity to test out a number of makeup from low end to high end brands. What I have learned is that, High end doesn't always mean it's the best for you or that you will even like wearing it.<br />
<br />
I always stress that you have to figure out what works for you and what makes you feel your best.<br />
<br />
There are 4 things you check off when you look for a foundation:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Coverage and how long it lasts</li>
<li>Texture of Product</li>
<li>The appearance of it on your skin (Skin Tone match and Finish)</li>
<li>Price </li>
</ol>
For me, Wet N Wild PhotoFocus Foundation checks off as follows:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Medium Coverage and wears through the day well</li>
<li>Liquid and light weight</li>
<li>Looks like skin and melts into my skintone (Dark Skin Friendly)</li>
<li>Under 10 Bucks (Yep, it's $7.00 from Walmart.ca)</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6P73QSqOhoMqQ4RNrwvAmn8Mhs4CA7XwGltmy3hckLRRxZFE235UB8hbyxA-EsH7cq5DojvObdBnhfGRCtHjOVLkAYdv8iMPtaTqZZqnr0UVpV1tOTOGaHhP4AEIquRXCmg8Lfb-bIATy/s1600/20190210_172531.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6P73QSqOhoMqQ4RNrwvAmn8Mhs4CA7XwGltmy3hckLRRxZFE235UB8hbyxA-EsH7cq5DojvObdBnhfGRCtHjOVLkAYdv8iMPtaTqZZqnr0UVpV1tOTOGaHhP4AEIquRXCmg8Lfb-bIATy/s640/20190210_172531.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Seriously, you can't get a better foundation at this price! Especially when it checks off in the other categories as well. The foundation is awesome on coverage, finish and price!<br />
<br />
I have been using this foundation for a few months now and it's definitely the one I reach for the most. (I have 3 Foundations - For light weight use, Medium coverage and 1 that is party friendly ie. Long wear).<br />
<br />
For those who are just looking to have the 1 foundation to use, because they want a simple and easy routine, this a great option as well.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Why it's great:</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It wears well and you don't need a lot</li>
<li>Blends into your skin tone and literally disappears </li>
<li>Comes in a number of different undertones (Warm, Cool and Neutral)</li>
<li>A good range of shades for your skin</li>
<li>Applies well with Sponge, Brush or Fingers (Clean fingers please)</li>
</ul>
<div>
I picked mine up from Walmart and the shade I got is called 'Desert Beige'. I did my research on a number of Instagram beauty influencers and then opted to buy it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<u><b>Things to Remember:</b></u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Always use a little to start and blend</li>
<li>Not everyone has to wear their makeup the same way it's shown on Instagram</li>
<li>Find the technique or application style that works for you</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

If you have tried the Wet n Wild #Photofocus foundation, or have picked it up, please leave me your thoughts below! In an upcoming post, I will share a #Makeup look with me wearing this foundation :)<br />

<br />
After having my thyroid removed, I learned, that not having this vital organ really affects how the body digests food.<br />
<br />
For example, I could eat certain foods and have no issues. Since the surgery, if I have those same foods that never gave me issues before, they wreak havoc on my digestive system. Basically I don't feel well or I just don't enjoy eating them like I used to.<br />
<br />
Therefore, for the past number of months, I have started to make adjustments to the recipes that I have enjoyed, which is why I love this breakfast recipe! It's simple and still reminds me of the good breakfasts from the past.<br />
<br />
My number 1 priority is two-fold, it needs to taste good and make me feel good. So let's get into this recipe!<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>ZUCCHINI SCRAMBLED OMELETTE WITH GREEN JUICE</u></b><br />
<b><i>(Green Juice Recipe and pics further below)</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 Small Zucchini </li>
<li>1 Egg</li>
<li>Cherry Tomatoes (6)</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp. Salt</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp. Onion Powder</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp. Dried Basil</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp. Chilli Flakes</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp. Nutritional Yeast (Optional)</li>
<li>2 Slices Light Rye Bread (Toasted)</li>
<li>Cooking oil/Spray of your choice</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
1. Spray your pan and turn your stove to medium high heat. Then slice your Zucchini into thin slices, and add into the pan. (If you like it chunkier that's up to you) - I find it cooks evenly and faster.<br />
<br />
2. As the Zucchini starts to cook, add the following seasonings (Salt, Onion Powder and Dried Basil). Mix it together and ensure your flipping the zucchini so that it's cooking on both sides.<br />
<br />
3. Slice your Cherry Tomatoes into halves, and then add into the pan. For about a minute. Turn down your gas to medium heat.<br />
<br />
4. Whisk your eggs and pour into the pan, as you would when you make an omelette. Let it stand so that the omelette can form and then gently flip when it's ready. (Here's the thing, the tomatoes and zucchini are "wet" therefore it creates an almost scrambled texture when flipped which is OK!).<br />
<br />
5. Once Omelette is ready, remove from heat and turn off the heat. Toast your Light Rye Bread. Once toasted add to your serving plate.<br />
<br />
6. Plating: Add your Omelette to your toast. You can serve this with any number of sides from Tots, to Avocado to sausage, that part I will leave up to you. For today, I included some roasted tots and cottage cheese for added protein. Typically I would either have Cottage cheese or Avocado, today is my Saturday version of this breakfast :)<br />
<br />
Now onto the Green Juice...<br />

<b><u>GREEN JUICE</u></b><br />

<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>

<b>Tips/Things to Remember:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I drink this to get more veggies into my body. I hate eating them raw or don't eat enough. </li>
<li>For me juicing has been super helpful, because it's helped add missing nutrition and allows my body to digest it easily</li>
<li>I use Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar for the savoury taste and their digestive benefits </li>
<li>This juice is NOT a meal replacement - Food is King!</li>
<li>Pick things you like and what works for you :)</li>
</ul>

Here is another makeup look featuring the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette! I'm still in love with this palette!<br />
<br />
To be honest, usually the novelty wears off for me, after a few weeks of using a new product. Then I would typically go back to my regular faves, but this one has become a great go-to for me! The shadows work beautifully together or alone and the blendability is awesome! <i>(You don't have to be a makeup artist to get beautifully blended and smoked out eye looks)!</i><br />
<br />
The makeup look I did, was more on the soft and natural side, which was perfect for a summer wedding I went to back in August. I really like how the look came together and that this was a simpler version of a smokey eye.<br />
<br />
Product Details are below:<br />

<br />
In the past, for me to be able to achieve a cool toned eyeshadow look, on my skin tone was challenging. The reason it would be difficult is that either the shadows weren't pigmented enough or I had to layer a lot of primer/concealer to get the shadows to look right.<br />
<br />
Even though at first glance, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette looks like a warmer palette, there are a few colours in the palette, that allowed me to create this cool mauve look.<br />
<br />

Really like how this look came together! I loved how I could use the duo ended brush that comes with this palette to do all of the eyeshadow application. More looks to come!<br />

Finally!! I have this baby!!<br />
<br />
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this Eye shadow palette! I wanted to see the reviews and makeup looks first before I got it. This is the method I use for my makeup purchases and it's never failed me yet. Once I saw the reviews and the makeup looks, I then headed to Sephora to see the palette in person. As soon as I saw the palette, I was sold!<br />
<br />
I have to say, this is my first Anastasia Beverly Hills product purchase, which initially, I thought would have been an eye brow product, since those were the products that put ABH on the map! Bus as ABH started to expand their product offering to other makeup, I was intrigued! </div>
<div>
<br />
Without further delay, check out the Modern Renaissance Palette by ABH below:<br />

<br />
I really like the mix of matte and shimmer shades in this palette as well as the 2 sided brush, which for me, is a bonus! Below is my overall impression:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pigmented Colours</li>
<li>Minimal Fallout</li>
<li>Good blendability</li>
<li>Loved the velvety packaging</li>
<li>2 ended Brush is a plus for travelling</li>
<li>You can create soft natural looks to super dramatic eye looks</li>
</ul>

I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in April of 2017 and as a result, I took time away from the blog. There may have been a few blog posts I did, here and there, but truthfully, I wasn't able to keep up with the blog as I was feeling overwhelmed with everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that I am approaching my 1 year scan, I am ready to talk and share in more detail what has happened, how I found out, what prompted me to look for answers on why I wasn't feeling well. I also wanted to share my "in the moment" experience as it was happening to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I wanted to:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Share things that helped me cope and stay positive</li>
<li>Shed light on accurate info about Thyroid Cancer since there are many misconceptions</li>
<li>Reinforce that every Cancer story and experience is so personal and unique</li>
<li>Provide Thyroid Cancer/Disease awareness </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Therefore, I am scared/excited to share that I have finally recorded and posted my first two videos in a series of videos I will be posting on my YouTube Channel - <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupbySand" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupbySand</a></b><br />

I feel extremely blessed that I am here to share and just felt that it's the right time. Please stay tuned to the blog for updates on the videos that I will be posting on YouTube! I hope you find the time to take a peek. In the meantime, feel free to check out the newly posted videos below:<br />

Obsession doesn't even begin to describe how I felt about this makeup launch. There have been countless makeup launches that I have seen or I have been a part of, but nothing could have prepared me for what <b>Fenty Beauty</b> was about to do. The industry was going to be shook, and guess what? It has been, but in the best way possible!<br />
<br />
For me, whenever I see that a celebrity or a pop culture influencer is putting their name behind a makeup line, I tend to take it with a grain of salt. What I mean by this, is that there are a lot of questions that I want to know answers to when it comes to the makeup line, as follows:<br />
<br />
1. How involved is the celebrity with the development of the line? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rihanna was very involved</span></i><br />
2. What products are they starting their launch with? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full Collection</span></i><br />
3. Where is the launch taking place? Online or In-Store or Both? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Both</span></i><br />
4. Being in Canada, is this something that will be available here? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes :)</span></i><br />
5. Product quality/validity of Social Media hype? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Worth the hype</span></i><br />
<br />
I ventured to <a href="https://www.sephora.com/fenty-beauty-rihanna?products=all&searchTerm=Fenty&node=1050000" target="_blank">Sephora</a> at Yorkdale and was happy to discover they had the Fenty collection! They also had stock of the popular items and even had an event centred around the launch. I was happy to see that it was FULL Collection, a long list of foundation shades with various undertones, therefore you WILL find your match.<br />

I was able to be colour matched on the fly by 2 very lovely Sephora associates and was able to get my foundation shade. From this point forward, everything was a Blur, I literally picked up #errrythang I could get my hands on, but reason got the best of me. Therefore I went over to the centre of the store and sat down to see what made sense for me. Basically, I had to decide what is going home with me and what was going to stay behind :(<br />
<br />

<br />

<li>Matchstix Trio</li>
<li>Lip Gloss</li>
<li>Blotting Paper</li>
<li>Blotting Powder</li>
</ul>
<br />
Here is what I ended up getting:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>ProFiltr Foundation</li>
<li>Pro Filtr Instant Retouch Primer</li>

Get rid of oil and gain volume at the same time? Yes please! I wanted to share a time saving tip when it comes to styling hair. Dry Shampoos have gotten quite the shine in the last few years. The challenge is trying to figure out the one that works and doesn't cost a fortune.</div>
<br />
I've tried many different Dry Shampoos over the years and I am currently loving the: Batiste Dry Shampoo<br />
<div>
<br />

<br />
<b>Batiste Impression/Thoughts:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Medium Weight Spray</li>
<li>Smells incredible</li>
<li>Great for absorbing excess oil from roots</li>
<li>Adds volume</li>
<li>Price: $8.99 - $10.00 (200ml)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
I loved the volume it created after spraying and working it into my roots. The smell is incredible. Great to add to your gym bag or weekend/beach bag. If you ever struggled with "Gym Hair" this product will help by absorbing excess oil, while keeping your hair looking fresh between shampoos.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Important TIP:</b></div>
<div>
Now, here is the thing, if you are not familiar with how to use Dry Shampoos, be sure NOT to spray it all over your hair, it is NOT hairspray. Here is how I use it:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Lift small sections from your root and spray lightly</li>
<li>Spray 1 section at a time, focusing the spray towards the roots </li>
<li>Wait about a 1 min, lightly work the spray into the roots. </li>
<li>Brush out and you will see the fullness and volume</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br />
I will be checking out the other Batiste products for the summer! </div>

If there was ever a makeup product that got rave reviews on Social Media, I pretty much went to the store and would buy it without question. Now, I take a bit more time to research, which I think is super important to do before spending any money.<br />
<br />
If possible, take the time to see, swatch and play with a product prior to purchase. (This should be the case at most major retailers). I am happy to say that I compared 2 very gorgeous eyeshadow palettes that were launched around the same time. The winner for me was this baby right here: The Tarte Cosmetics #Tarteist Pro Palette!<br />
<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Why I Love It:</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A mix of Matte and Shimmery finishes</li>
<li>Loved the warmer and red toned shades </li>
<li>20 Shades (16 Matte + 4 Shimmers)</li>
<li>Beautiful packaging</li>
<li>Travel friendly</li>
</ul>
<br />
My only concern was that the matte shadows would be a bit too powdery or ashy during application, but using the right brushes truly makes a difference and I had no problems!<br />

One of my fave purchases so far! The price is $68 CDN, so it's on the higher price point side, but if you were to break it down to a per shadow cost, it works out to: $3.40 (Not to bad) :)<br />
<br />

One of my fave things about this palette is the colour blocked effect for ideas on which shadows to wear together and the versatility to create literally a million eyeshadow combos!<br />
<br />
I picked up mine from Sephora and got myself a few cute Makeup samples, which has worked out well, because I have found thee best Waterproof Black eye pencil! I will also share 4 Makeup looks using the colour row options! Stay tuned :)</div>

Happy Shopping!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do you ever do your makeup and then think about changing it up? Maybe you feel you want to be a bit more dramatic or bolder? I totally get it, I go through this alot! Mostly for glam or special event makeup that I do from time to time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes the look you envisioned was fine, but you want to take it a step bolder. That's why I'm sharing how I changed my makeup look by altering one thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My last post featured a neutral lip with a glam eye makeup. So I altered the lipstick and it made the look pop! This is also a great example of how you can change your look from Day to Night!</span><br />

Here is another makeup inspiration that is a take on a #NYE Evening Glam look! This is a softer yet glam makeup look that uses a classic smokey eye with soft shimmer on top! This was a fun look to do because it was a mix of neutral colours as well as colour shimmers. To balance the look, I paired it with a Neutral medium toned Pink Lip.<br />

I love that the majority of the palette has Matte shades, with 4 really pretty duo/chrome/shimmer shades. The blue shimmer shade inspired me to do this #NYE Evening Glam Makeup Look!<br />

This look has a lot more drama on the eyes, but overall with a softer lip it's a great #NYE look for date night or a party at home :) Be daring and try something different, this is the one day of the year where there is no such thing as "too much".<br />
<br />
Happy #NYE!</div>

<i><b>Makeup Tip:</b> Glitter is very tricky to work with since there is major fall out and pretty much can end up all over your face! Therefore use the following: Eye Drops! If you don't have lash glue or any other mixing medium, a few drops will allow you to mix and then apply on the lid.</i><br />

This was such a fun look! I am very happy with the warmth the Tarteist Pro palette allowed me to do. The NYX Cosmetics shimmer really ads the right amount of pop!<br />
<br />
Good luck with your NYE Glitter Makeup looks!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the last few years, these two Giorgio Armani products have been my daily go-to when it comes to foundation! Now truthfully, Giorgio Armani beauty products are on the higher end when it comes to the price point, but the pay off is a good quality finish on the skin.</span><br />

A few drops (dime size amount is the max) is all you need. This is not something you want to cake on, because it's not needed. Unless you prefer a full face, you can achieve it, however, this foundation is meant to give you a healthy glow, therefore, the "less is more" rule works best.</span></div>

It's gorgeous, light, shimmery and natural looking but you can also intensify the glow you want. I also like that in the summer, I can use it to add warmth to my foundation shade!

So let's be honest, if you are a Makeup Artist or a Makeup Junkie, the costs of buying makeup add up when there is so many products & tools you have to invest in. With Social Media, it makes it harder to resist to add new items to your collection or kit because everything you see looks good ;)<br />
<br />
The way we find info on makeup is really easy, just look at your phone! You can do your research via YouTube Videos, blogs and you can get recommendations by asking other makeup artists or friends. Doing your research before you buy anything, may help you save some money in the long run.<br />
<br />
I came across<b> <a href="http://www.coastalscents.com/">CoastalScents</a></b> via YouTube through Makeup YouTubers and I noted that they had a lot of affordable makeup products. Their eyeshadow palettes were SUPER popular and I ended up purchasing a number of palettes and other makeup as well. The products have worked well for me both personally and professionally.<br />
<br />
What I LOVED the most is that the <b><a href="https://www.coastalscents.com/collections/makeup-eyes-eye-palettes/products/28-neutral-palette" target="_blank">28 Neutral Eyeshadow Palette</a></b> had shades that were similar to MAC eyeshadows and the cost ($11.95 CDN)! I have shared the swatches below and the MAC shadows they dupe for:<br />

I'm so excited to share how I created this Halloween Skull Makeup look! Firstly, I'm happy to tell you that I didn't have to purchase special "Halloween makeup" that we typically find in the month of October. Secondly, I did this without having to spend $ on buying new makeup just to create this Halloween look, I used what I already had at home :)<br />
<br />
The best rule of life is the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep it Stupidly Simple)! This can pretty much apply to any aspect of life. I wanted to apply this rule to creating my latest Halloween look. I wanted to show that I did not have to spend $ on buying "Halloween" makeup products, rather using what I already had to get the look I wanted. So, there you go...the K.I.S.S. rule!<br />

Thee Best Halloween memories I have are the ones where I created either a DIY Costume or a Makeup look. One year I was an aging woman, which I used eyeliner to create the aging effect, 80's girl following that, and one year it was the "Robert Palmer" makeup look (Sidebar: If you don't know what this is, you MUST look this up right now!) This look was created using the borrowed (aka secretly took my mom's) Charlie Red Lipstick and black eyeliner! It totally worked!<br />

The reason I didn't want to use white makeup for the skull is that anytime I have ever seen a Skull in books or at the museum, they were decayed looking, with almost a beige like tone. Rather than use the Halloween White shade, for me what worked was using a really light shade of foundation! It works out well. :)<br />

A really important tip I wanted to share, is to really take your time on the Bone "skin"creation. Be sure to layer the foundation evenly and take your time blending it on the skin. This will give you a great base for the rest of the Skull Details.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, have fun when creating wild makeup looks like this one I did for Halloween. Be mindful that it doesn't have to cost a lot of $, just a bit of time, inspiration and creativity!</div>
<div>

<div>
Enjoy!</div>

So...yeah...it's been awhile, but like with everything in life, you need to take a step back and gain perspective. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder! (LOL)<br />
<br />
Anyway, before I could come back to blogging, I needed to recharge and decompress. In my time away, here's what I have been up to:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. READING!</b> (When I was younger, I always had a book I read before Bed and I'm glad to say that the love of reading has been reignited).<br />
<br />
<b>2. Obsessed with my new fave TV Show: Power!</b> If you don't know about this show, you need to LOOK. IT. UP!<br />
<br />
<b>3</b>. Spending time reviewing <b>lots of makeup videos</b> (Basically getting re-inspired)!<br />
<br />
I think it was important for me to take some time away, before I could come back and feel excited to share things that make me happy and smile! One thing I've learned is if you feel forced to do something, you lose your authentic self, which is what I didn't want for the blog.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, I am sharing one of my many loves, which is my love for books! A perfect time for me to share my 1st visit and my overall experience of the NEW(ish) <b>Indigo Bookstore at CF Sherway Gardens!</b><br />
<br />
<u><b>First Impression:</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li>Loved the layout, if you are into books, you can get lost in there, in a good way!</li>
<li>Each section of the store is it's own room/space with comfy chairs and gift ideas</li>
<li>The shelving displays are angled which displays the books perfectly, they're calling to be picked up</li>
<li>Bright, airy and modern</li>
<li>They have a PIANO on the second floor! (Yes, I played it with ZERO experience but IDGAF)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
Here are a few pics from my visit to Chapters CF Sherway Gardens: </div>

I also like how the space overall has a great vibe and flow. A few things I loved was:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>They have a beautiful American Girl section which I legit got lost in, and wished I could buy them all. (If you are not familiar with what American Girl is, you need to find out, the detail in their packaging and look of their dolls is epic).</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>The epic MUG Wall! These mugs are perfect for work, for tea, for coffee and most of all...Makeup Brushes! Can I get a #YASSS :)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
I would highly recommend to visit to Indigo CF Sherway Gardens! It's perfect for gift ideas, inspiration and a great place to find the next best book.<br />
<br />
Happy Reading my fellow #booklovers!</div>

<li>I can use it on top of Makeup as a highlight (This is the EPIC portion of why I love it)</li>
<li>It contains Antioxidants = Great for your skin</li>
<li>Dry Oil which can be used on Face, Body and Hair</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now there are a million ways to highlight your face to achieve the ever popular "insta" glow, but if you are looking for something easy to use and can be worn naked on skin, this is the oil to try. BONUS POINT: It smells great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a pic of me using it on top of my makeup, right after I set it with Powder. I patted it on very lightly and then used my foundation brush with the same motion.</div>

Summer time makeup can be tricky because usually its hot AF outside (Let's be honest)! However, on the days that you do wear makeup, here is an easy tip that I like to do to switch it up.<br />
<br />
It basically works with any makeup look you want to do. Whether it's neutral or super smokey, you just add a pop of colour, softly underneath the eye and that's it! Summer Ready :)<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.ca/" target="_blank">NYX Cosmetics Canada</a> made a game changing decision for Makeup lovers when they opened their shop at Square One Mississauga.Typically, you could find NYX at select Rexall locations, but a standalone shop was exactly what Toronto/GTA Beauty lovers needed. All my fave goodies in one place and affordable!<br />
<br />
I got these goodies a while back but they are SOOO worth this post. I have listed the items I got, their price point and my overall feedback. Take a look below:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Highlight & Contour Pro Palette | <i>Cost: $27.00</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>8 Shades</li>
<li>Highlight Shades: Ice Queen, Soft Light, Cream & Nectar</li>
<li>Contour Shades: Tan, Toffee, Sculpt & Hollow</li>
<li>Customizable shades that you can choose from their Pro singles</li>
</ul>
<div>
I like this palette because it gives you so much versatility in shade choices (especially as a Makeup Artist). These shades can work on all skin tones! I prefer the powder formula, because it really gives a diffused finish on the skin</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>2. Face & Body Glitter in Bronze | </b><i><b>Cost: $6.00</b></i><br />
<ul>
<li>12 Shades</li>
<li>High sparkle pigment</li>
<li>Can be used on eyes and body</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm all about glitter and sparkle!! I love that a tiny amount can be used all-over the lid or as a liner. The glitter is fine and reflects beautifully on the eyes! Be sure to use a liquid product to help control your application. I tend to use liquid highlighters by picking up a bit on my brush and then picking up the pigment from the lid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>3. Matte Liquid Liner | </b><i><b>Cost: $10.00</b></i><br />
<ul>
<li>Matte Finish - Similar to a gel liner look</li>
<li>Think and flexible brush</li>
<li>Get classic or bold looks</li>
</ul>
<div>
I was not used to using Gel liners but I loved their finish. That's why I love this liner because the matte formula gives me the gel liner look but with the control of a brush. Long lasting, doesn't fade/move and is great for Summer makeup looks!</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
<b>4. Collection Noir Liquid Liner | </b><i><b>Cost: $8.00</b></i><br />
<ul>
<li>Fine Tip Brush</li>
<li>Precision and control</li>
<li>Long lasting</li>
</ul>
<div>
This liquid liner for me is exactly like the traditional liquid liners that I have grown up using. So my comfort level is high! I love the finer brush and how easy it is to create thin to thicker lines.</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Soft Matte Lip Cream | <i>Cost: $9.00</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Creamy Application</li>
<li>Matte Finish</li>
<li>Transfer proof</li>
<li>Shades: London (Nude/Brown), Tokyo (Light Pink), Copenhagen (Burgundy) & Monte Carlo (Red)</li>
</ul>
<div>
These lip creams feel incredible! A little product gives a beautifully painted lip! What I love is that it leaves a super matte finish that doesn't transfer or bleed! Great with gloss or alone.<br />
<br />
If you are a makeup lover, like me and want to try the new makeup trends, NYX offers great quality products for an affordable price point! Be sure to check out the NYX stores in Toronto/GTA!<br />
<br />
Happy Shopping!</div>

<br />
I wish I was in France, but the experience I had at <b><i>Caudalie Boutique </i></b><b><i>Spa </i></b><b><i>at Sherway Gardens</i></b>, made me feel that way!<br />
<br />
Growing up, we are told how important it is to take care of your skin. From our early teens we are told to take the right precautions from moisturizing, drinking lots of water and staying out of the sun! If we must be in the sun, wear SPF. As we near our mid twenties, we are advised on preventative skincare and eventually as we go through life, we want to to increase hydration and minimizing wrinkles.<br />
<br />
Now as a Makeup Artist, it's CRUCIAL to have a regular skincare routine. However, it's important for everyone to take care of their skin. You want to use the right products, that help deliver the solutions for your skincare needs. I had the pleasure to experience an amazing facial treatment at Caudalie.<br />

After I was tucked into my warm and soothing bed, I was ready for my facial. The Facial I chose was called the Premier Cru-Facial - Ultimate Anti-aging. The room had a light scent but wasn't overpowering, the music was soft and not distracting and once I was in the midst of the spa facial, I was in my own personal utopia!<br />
<br />
I loved that I received the following from my Caudalie skincare specialist:<br />
<ul>
<li>Provided details from the start on what was involved</li>
<li>Reviewed the menu and types of Facials that were available and allowed me to provide input</li>
<li>Softly explained what steps were happening and what products were being used</li>
<li>Explained the importance of each product and how it would help with my concerns</li>
<li>The warm/heated bed was a great treat along with the hand/arm massage I received</li>
</ul>
<br />
Results<br />
<ul>
<li>My skin felt awakened and was brightened and glowing </li>
<li>In order to receive the full benefits, I went makeup free for the rest of the day</li>
<li>I felt relaxed which was a great stress reliever and felt revived</li>
</ul>
<div>
The products I ended up purchasing was the Eye Cream, Polyphenol C15 Anti-wrinkle Eye & Lip cream, which for me is my biggest concern. I had recently purchased the <b>Beauty Elixir</b>, which by the way is a STAR product featured through out the entire facial! </div>

Yes, I know, it has been awhile. Lots of changes in the start of the year that were super positive but also important things that took my time away from my blog. This doesn't mean I haven't been "cooking" on some new blog posts and fun things for everyone, just needed some time off the blog to live this thing called life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soooooo, here is what's been new with me and what's coming up on the blog....Take a look!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I finally took the plunge! I stayed in my comfort zone for the last few years by sporting dark(er) brown hair and took the leap to a golden/blonde ombre. Firstly, I'm not scared of colour since I used to colour my hair all sorts of colours and shades! But in the past few years, I got too comfortable (aka rut) and just rode out dark brown for as long as I could. Secondly, even though I am familiar with the whole process, I still am surprised to see my hair since I got used to seeing dark brown day in and day out. I love it and I feel more vibrant. Therefore, I would recommend anyone who's been sitting (safely) on the fence about changing their hair colour, just jump and do it! </div>

<u><b>MY OWN PERSONAL BOOK CLUB</b></u><br />
I love books and reading, and have finally committed to make a move to read through the high volume of books I have purchased/gifted in the last few years. I mean, I could be sleeping on potentially the best book I have ever read, but I don't know that because I haven't started to read them yet! I finally made the move and am doing pretty good so far.<br />
<br />
Here the books that have been completed. (It's a list over 30 books, just saying!):<br />
<br />
<b>1. The Sweet Life by Dulce Candy </b>- Great book if you are a beauty lover and in the business of blogging or would like to start a YouTube channel.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Inside the O'Briens by Lisa Genova</b> - This book had me! I mean when you read a book and can actually picture yourself in the house and around the characters described in the book, it means it's a good book and well written! Lisa Genova is one of my fave authors and I have read 3 of her 4 books and I have not been disappointed. I will be adding the 4th one soon (Love Anthony) but need to get through my current unread books first!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Not that Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham</b> - <b><i>In progress</i></b> - Loved her on her show the Girls, heard a lot about this book and love anything with reflection and wit! We shall see how it goes!<br />

Here is some additional information on the brand:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>Caudalie Boutique Spa</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Caudalíe was born in 1993 when founders Mathilde and
Bertrand Thomas had a chance encounter with Dr. Joseph Vercauteren, professor
at the University of Pharmacy (Bordeaux, France) and the world’s leading expert
on grape and grapevine polyphenols. Upon visiting the vineyards of Château
Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux, Dr. Vercauteren noticed the leftover grape
skins and seeds from the harvest and explained to the couple that the
polyphenols in the grape and grapevines had extraordinary anti-oxidant power. It
was from this knowledge that Caudalíe was created.</i> </div>

I hope to see you all there!</div>

This is a great look for a night out! If you want to wear this look for the day, soften the emerald tone by mixing it with a champagne base or you can apply the emerald tone as an eyeliner instead.<br />
<br />

Vampy lipsticks used to be a look that I stayed away from. I typically seen Models rocking it on the runway. In the last few years, these darker hues are everywhere! Everyone is loving and happily wearing these dark, yet bold vampy lips!<br />
<br />
In my mind, MAC Cosmetics has done a great job on creating a plethora of shades for your inner vamp! There are a million shades to choose from, but I picked my Top 3 below:<br />

The Satin shades are super smooth to wear. The Matte finish is a true matte, therefore if you want a more moisturized feeling, apply a bit of Vaseline before you put the Matte finish on. Again, I love to find shades that will work on my skin tone (deep warm brown) and my medium toned lips, and these look awesome!<br />

Be sure to check this sexy trio of shades when you visit your MAC store soon! </div>
