Hey everyone!
So this week I am leaving to go down south. I am so excited! I've been waking up super early because I'm so excited. We're leaving on Monday morning and getting to our destination at around 4pm.
With everything that has been going on with friends and such this is going to be a much needed/deserved vacation.
Our friends were supposed to come with us, now I'm not sure if its a good thing that they aren't coming but I still wish they were. It's still been a bit awkward for a while now but it seems to be getting better. It's one of my friends birthday while we will be gone and they suggested that we wait until we're back before we celebrate her birthday. That made me so happy! Where we are going will be a place where we drink and he will be there so I probably won't be drinking much.
Anyways, it doesn't matter. Ill be soaking in the nice sun, with delicious food and drinks in 48 hours and that's all I need to think about!
I can't wait!!

Review: Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff
Hi everyone!!!!!
So! I'm back with a review on the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. I have been meaning to write a review on this for a while but as some of you may know, I have been having issues with friends at home so I haven't had the time to write this. I have other reviews that I need to write before my vacation in a week and I will try to get on that as soon as possible!
Everything has been getting better. I have started to hang out with my friends again and it feels amazing! Last night they came over and we played board games and it was great! Tonight we are going out for Japanese food so I'm pretty excited!
Anyways, lets get to the review!
I have the Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff. I am very pale and this suits my skin tone pretty nicely. I know this isn't the lightest shade but I believe this is the third lightest shade.
I have dry skin all year round so I picked this up in normal/dry skin.
If you have oily/combination skin you can also pick this foundation up for that skin type.
This has AMAZING staying power! I sometimes work 13 hour shifts and this baby stays on! It doesn't budge!
I don't have awful skin and I'm very lucky so I've never been one to wear heavy foundation but after hearing so many reviews and raves on YouTube about this I just had to pick up. This makes me skin look flawless. I've never had a foundation that has made me look amazing and this does it.
The only downside I have to say about this is that it is heavy feeling (on me anyways). Also, it is a bit tough to apply because of how fast it dries so you need to move quickly. This also doesn't have a pump which bothers me quite a bit because I'm always wasting or I find I try to use it all up because I don't want to waste it and then I look cakey.
The only thing I have trouble believing is when people claim it's full coverage. I have small acne scars and this doesn't seem to hide them that well. I still need to use concealer and its not like the scars are big and red.
I love this foundation for when I am going somewhere fancy and need to look exceptionally good. I don't wear this to work because being a flight attendant I'm in recycled air all the time and I don't want to have something that is heavy blocking my pores. I want my skin to breathe.
I recommend this foundation to someone who needs and wants full coverage foundation. This does help in reducing the size of your pores and hides your black heads well.
I am very impressed with this foundation and would repurchase this, but probably the whipped version because it apparently caters more to people with dry skin.
I give this a 4/5*

Review: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain
Hey everyone!
I've been super lazy lately. I haven't been working much, maybe 7-8 days this month. I don't know what has gotten into me. I think the cold rainy weather has gotten to me.
I have, however, been into pinterest lately and I've been cooking a lot more, which is good for my boyfriend.
Anyways, let's get on with the review.
I purchased three of these lip stains in Canada for $8.99 each. I have three colors and they are Charm, Honey, and Cherish.
Charm: It's a light nude color, leaning more beige. This was the second color I got and I was, unfortunately, very disappointed by this one. I find that it comes off very milky on my lips and it does not have much pigmentation or color. I thought this would turn more pink but it comes off as the color you get in the tube. It accentuates the dry skin on my lips and does not leave a stain. This was the one I was looking the most forward to and it failed.
Honey: This was the first one I bought and I'm glad I got this one. It is a great darkish pink that does not come off as dark as in the tube. It leaves a nice, natural, color to your lips and the stain is really nice. It also doesn't accentuate the dryness of my lips. The stain also lasts really long, even when I drink and eat.
Cherished: This color is HOT pink! I was totally blown away by this color when I applied it to my lips. This has the same smooth consistency as the previous color and does not accentuate the dryness. The stain lasts a long time as well, about 6 hours.
Overall I like the minty feeling I get when I apply this. It only lasts about a minute and then fades. There is no smell which is good for some people.
I would recommend these for people who hate re applying products. It leaves a great stain which would last during a night out so you don't have to think about your lips.
Well hope this review helped some of you!

Project 10 Pan : Fail
So, it's been quite a while since I've written on here and I guess it's because I've been working quite a bit and I've been really lazy.
As you know, I started P10P at the beginning on July and I remember being so excited to save money and being able to challenge myself. Unfortunately I ended up buying two Revlon Just Bitten Kissables in Halifax while I was on a layover. I knew I would be able to find them at the store Lawtons because I find that they are the only store (in Canada) that receive products the fastest. We don't have lawtons in Ontario and since I was flying to Halifax I knew I was bound to get them. So I caved and got two.
My lesson: I really don't have good self-control haha! I tried so hard not to get any makeup and I was able to do this for a month but alas my self-control died and I caved.
I am going to the Dominican Republic in November so I need to save up for that! I'm suuuuuper excited! My friends were supposed to come but the cant anymore which is a big bummer because I was so looking forward to going with them.
I am excited to be able to relax and enjoy myself with my boyfriend for a week. We've been to the DR before but we always compare things. So it'll be a great little adventure once again.

Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation
Hey everyone!!
It's been a really dark and gray day today. It's raining and cold. But it's a nice change compared to the blistering heat we've been having here in Toronto.
Anyways I decided to put on some foundation today for a change and I took out my Rimmel Lasting Foundation 25 hour in 103 True Ivory. I haven't worn this since May/June because it's been too hot.
So let's get to the review shall we?
Claims: Naturally Flawless & Hydrating & Lightweight. Transfer resistant, skin feels energized and hydrated all day.
Wear: I've been wearing this foundation for about 6 1/2-7 hours now and my skin does not feel tight or dry. It feels soft and hydrated like the claim says. However, I tend to have oily skin sometimes on my nose and right now it's showing. If I rub my finger across my nose I can see the shininess which is a big no no for me and I'm sure for all girls out there! I did apply powder on when I put on the foundation and I haven't reapplied since because I wanted to see how long this would last without powder. So about 6 hours, which is good in my opinion.
Packaging: I LOVE that this is on a tube! It's great for when I fly because it won't leak and the plastic tube won't break. It's also very hygienic and that's something that most of us look for when we buy foundation. There is 30ml of product which is great if you want to bring this as a carry-on.
Application: I just used my fingers to put this on. It doesn't dry too fast so you have time to put it on properly. After I've applied it on I take a damp sponge and just dab my face just so there isn't any excess foundation.
Coverage: If you have good skin but just have the occasional blemish here and there then this is great for you!! It has light-medium coverage but it hides redness really well. It makes your skin nice and even. If you have very bad acne/acne marks then this would not hide it. You would need something with heavier coverage as this wouldn't provide any.
Verdict: In the end I love this foundation. It hasn't faded yet after six hours the only downside is that my oiliness came through but I expected that. No one has perfect skin and I knew I would have to blot. I am going to start wearing this more often now since it feels like fall is already coming.
I hope everyone is enjoying the weather while it lasts.
Take care!

Project 10 Pan: 1 month later.
Hey everyone!
So I have been having a bit of trouble with this project. I haven't bought any makeup all month and I'm really proud of myself for doing this.
I've been using quite a few different products than what's on my list and I've decided to not buy makeup until I use up at least 10 products. It will be all makeup products but it has to be 10.
I find that focusing on just 10 products is too difficult because I've been getting bored with the same looks I've been giving myself.
I will however be repurchasing some things before the project is over, such as my mascara because I only have that one. I have a ton of eyeshadows so I definitely won't be repurchasing any before this is done.
I don't think that I'm cheating, I'm still going to finish 10 products before buying anything new. I don't want to give up on this project especially since I'm going on vacation in November and I want to save my money for the trip.
I will however try to finish up the 10 products I had listed.
Wish me luck!!! :)

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips
Hey everyone!
I've been pretty busy lately and finally I have time to sit down a do a review. As many of you have heard the Maybelline Baby Lips are pretty darn popular. Even with boys surprisingly! I saw one of my male colleagues use it and I was so surprised!
I have 2 of them, cherry me and pink punch. They retail for 3.50$ cdn at Walmart, 4.99$ at well.ca, and 6.50$ at shoppers drug mart. They have SPF 20 which is great when you go out in the sun.
Cherry Me smells exactly like...cherries! It smells so delicious you just want to eat this! The color payoff is also really good. The color is opaque but not too opaque where your lips are crazy red. It has a nice consistency and slides on really nicely.
Pink Punch also smells like fruit punch drinks. I prefer this smell to the cherry only because of preference. The color payoff is nice as well it's more opaque than the cherry me. Its a gorgeous pink that would suit any skin tone.
The packaging is also really adorable. The only thing is that the cover doesn't stay on properly so it can open up in your makeup bag.
This does moisturize very well but I don't think it makes my lips feel like "baby lips". I do have to reapply because I do have dry lips to begin with and I usually just wear these in the plane so it's dryer up there.
I find that my lips do get a tint from these and I like that. The color does rub off when you drink or eat which is normal with most lip products.
In conclusion I love these lip butters. There are quite a few colors, 5 I believe and some of them don't have a color they are just clear. I will repurchase these once I run out. I highly recommend these if you're into nice smelling/cute packaging type of stuff.
Cherry Me is dark red and Pink Punch is bright pink.
