My addiction (make-up haul)


Since school is out and there’s no traffic, I've had extra time to browse around beauty supply stores before and after work (don’t ask lol). So far this week I’ve been able to pick up a few things that I’ve been meaning to get for a while now. I haven’t gotten a chance to use any of these babies yet but I promise as soon as I do I will post my reviews.

NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in Café – I saw this and instantly fell in love.  I love that this is mild and not too pigmented, it’s perfect for giving me that gorgeous glowing finish that I’m obsessed with.

NYX HD High Definition Eye Shadow Base – I came across a review about this particular product on youtube and decided to give it a try. I haven’t gotten the Urban Decay Primer (that everyone has been raving about) as yet so I would use this in the interim.

Milani Lipstick in the colour Sweet Nectar – This a bright orange lip colour that I kept putting off getting, not too sure why though because orange is one of the colours that works best for my undertone. Will definitely rock this soon & do a review.

Orly Nail Polish in the colour Boho Bonnet – Now if you know me you would know that it takes me a little time to decide what colour to get my nails done in (by little I mean hours lol). I browsed around all the nail polishes for about 20 minutes which is record time probably because I was late for work. When my eyes fell on this baby which by the way is on sale for $20.00 at Wonderful World (Center City Mall, Chaguanas) I immediately knew she was going home with me. J

Last but not least I got this 2nd Love Eyeliner Gel in Brown – I saw it being featured on Arlene Villarule’s Instagram page as a dupe for Anatasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in dark brown. I usually still use pencil to fill my brows (yes in 2014) but of course if Arlene recommended this there's no doubt I would try it. Change is good I guess.

Got all the products above at Wonderful World except for the last one which I got at Pennywise.

    I got the gel eyeliner too. I don't like it for brows...I much prefer my dark brown eyeshadow that I always used.

      Kavita, I just use it to line the bottom of my brows & I still fill with my pencil and brush it out with an eyebrow brush because it's too dark for doing the entire brow.

Mini make-up haul

Small make-up haul  Hey everyone! I've just started gathering products for my make-up kit and I went out on Saturday and picked up these little beauties *love struck smiley*. I got a chance to use everything so far so I just want to share with y'all my views. The L'oreal true match foundation in W6... umm not my favourite, it's a bit light for me which is weird since the W6 powder matches harmoniously to my skin. I'm hoping it's the tan I got from the beach last week and being out all day Saturday, will definitely give it another chance. Other than it not matching my skin tone it's perfect, it goes on smooth (with the correct brush of course, I used the MAC 188 foundation brush), it's lightweight, gives medium to full coverage and gives a nice 'glowy' finish. I love this foundation, I usually use MAC studio fix fluid but this is a nice cheaper alternative for everyday use. Milani Illuminating face powder in Hermosa Rose.. I cannot get en...

Simple Glam (Night out with the girls)

 Hey everyone, club season is back and in full swing in Trinidad and as opposed to carnival the fashion for ‘clubbing season’ as it’s fondly called is two very different things. Let me explain, carnival has a more casual fashion outlook mainly because most of the events are outdoor, the capacity of patrons at one event also the nature of a fete (live performances etc). Club fashion has more of a glamorous outlook because of its indoor nature consisting of ‘little black dresses’, skirts, blazers etc. My first after carnival outfit was this black and white, close-fitting, above mid-knee length, armhole, cotton dress. I immediately fell in love with it because I can dress it up or down. I like unique pieces but I absolutely love clothes that I can dress up or down. I paired it with black pumps (sorry I didn’t get a shot of them). I wore a pair of mid-size silver hoops, a silver ring, white & silver MK watch and a black clutch with silver lining. When going for a glam loo...
