Updates

I'm sorry about abandoning my blog lately. I've just been so lazy. And my work has been draining me out a lot because a few of my coworkers are on their vacations so I've been given a lot more hours than usual. Let's start with the first day of July: Canada Day.

I guess it's become a tradition for us to go to this every Canada Day. The City Hall was under renovation so Square One was cool enough to lend their rooftops. Last year's fireworks were definitely better though. What a waste of apparently about 20 million CAD. So this is how they spend our tax money haha.

Today was so hot out and Nerissa and Alyssa came over. The plan was to make cheesecake at my house but having used all my baking ingredients, they would have had to spend $20 for the ingredients so they ended up buying a box of pre-made cheesecake. It was okay but I still prefer homemade ones because I know what I put in. This is us walking to the bus stop so we can go to Bubble Republic to buy bubble tea (except Nerissa who went home).

And I shall leave you all with a FOTD featuring two different lips because I couldn't decide which one lol.

with Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstain in Wink of Pink

closeup:

What do I think of this lipstain? It's my first lipstain that I've tried so I can't really compare to other ones. But it's really not drying like some lipstains that I've read reviews of. This doesn't have a balm included like the other long lasting colour things Maybelline or Covergirl has. The only thing is that I picked up this colour because of how amazing it looks on the model in the promo image. This is a lot redder than pink, more like a raspberry pink-red. The closeup looks pinker because of the flash but the full face is more accurate of the colour in real life. I don't think the lasting power is that good for a stain because I was expecting 4-5 hours. Although, the times I've worn it, I was also eating. But I still think the colour fades away pretty fast but I actually do like it overall, but I don't wanna try the other colours because this is one of their lightest shades. Imagine how dark the other ones would be!

F&OTD: Neutral & Brit with skirt

I think if I didn't set my face with Fix+, it wouldn't have been so oily. For some reason, Fix+ is only good for some minutes on me, then makes me oily right after.

FOTD: Pinkish Purple with Yellow-Gold

The weather was absolutely horrid today and has been this entire week. It has made me a bed potato because I hate having to deal with the rain when I'm out to have fun, especially since I take the public transit. As in I would sleep from 4AM to 1:30Pm. Eat. Shower. Laptop/TV until 6pm. Eat. Sleep from 9pm to 2am. Lol that is a complete disastrous schedule isn't it? Anyway, I was bored so I did my makeup with some stuff I reunited with after I cleaned up my makeup drawers. You know when you end up using the same stuff everyday and some good products end up in the very back of your drawer? I'd hate to keep them dusted so here ya go!

To be honest, I had to photoshop this one because I've gotten a few breakouts due to the reason that I am a girl and every girl suffers once a week per month. (Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.. lol).

Products used

Face (notice the ridiculous number of products used for my face because I tried using a technique I read from this book. I forget the name, something All About Faces. It says to put cream blushes and cream highlighters first then concealer then foundation. I then set it with the powder and the Booster then put the powder blush and powder highlighter.) :

• Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer
  
• ELF All over cover stick in Light Beige
• Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation
• Maybelline Dream Matte powder in Medium 3-4
• Rimmel Sun Shimmer Shimmering Maxi Bronzer in Sun Love (contouring)
• ELF All Over Color Stick in Persimmon (Cream pinkish highlighter)
• ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance (highlighter on top of above product)
• ELF Mineral Booster in Sheer
• MAC Joie de Vivre Cremeblend Blush
• NARS Orgasm Blush
• MAC Fix+

Eyes (I forgot to take a picture of the colours I used from the palette but it's basically the darker gold mixed with a yellow):

• ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer
• Urban Decay in Last Call (pinkish purple on crease. Not photographed because it is still drying. Read previous previous post to know why.)
• Manly 120 Eyeshadow palette (golden yellow on lid)
• Rimmel Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in 002 Smokey Brun (brow highlight)
• Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel
• NYC Liquid Eyeliner (HATE this one. Just using it up now... The handle's too long to manoeuvre and the formula flakes. As in I could feel the crackiness once it's dried.)
• Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara in Black
• Annabelle Kohl Eyeliner in White (waterline)

Lips:

• NYC Ultra Moist Lipwear in 308B Retro Red (I only dabbed it a bit to get a lip stained effect)

Then a final spritz of Fix+ and voila!
