~SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES~

Why hello there! It has been a while since I've last posted. I know I said in my previous posts that I would blog on the daily but it has just been so hectic! At least I have some free time right now to do some blogging. Which means I will be posting here and there! I am hoping for it to be consistent before I go back to school, in the New Year. With that being said let me jump into today's post: September Favourites!

I know it has been a little more than a week into October but the saying "better late than never," applies here. Here are some of the items that I couldn't leave my house without using/wearing.

MORPHE M504 - Large Pointed Blender Brush

This brush is absolutely amazing for blending your eye shadow.

If you are like me who cannot blend for life this brush will be your savior.

My eyes are in the middle of hooded to round, so this brush targets my crease easily.

Order one here

Tartelette in bloom - Tarte Cosmetics

(peep the dirty mirror, it was from the "kick back" or "fall out.") 

This palette is so cute and chic! 

I love the colours and smell that this palette gives off.

This has been my go-to eye shadow look:

Crease: Smarty Pants

Outer V: Jetsetter 

I only use two colours and I blend everything with my foundation powder.

There are so many looks that I created with this palette, so versatile! 

LUCAS' PAPAW OINTMENT

Let me tell you this ointment has been my holy grail next to Vaseline. 

I use this on my lips, eyelids and neck. 

Pretty much anywhere that I have dry skin or when my eczema acts up again.

This ointment is made up of papaya fruit! Has a nice smell to it.

My lips have never seen a crack ever since I bought this product.

Boyfriend Green Plaid Long - Wilfred Free

I absolutely love plaid. I pretty much own like 5+ plaid button ups.

When I saw this at the Aritzia Warehouse Sale I knew I had to buy it.

This is pretty much my go-to "jacket" or "cardigan."

So easy to layer with this article of clothing.

Well there you have it! These are the items that made it in my September Favourites! Stay tuned for the next post :)!

Haul Pt. 2: MAKE UP EDITION

Part two of my haul is going to be a makeup edition. Why? Well because I've bought a ton of make up that I felt it was necessary to create a separate post just for makeup! Some of these items I've received as a gift because my birthday was actually a month ago!

bhcosmetics - 10 blush palette

I got this palette at Winners and I was amazed they were selling such a thing. I love how this palette ranges from a toned down pink to a nice scarlet blush colour. Gives you a lot of variety! I've also used one of the colours on my eyes for one of my eyeshadow looks and it turned out pretty decent! However the colours are definitely better on the cheeks!

I recently just got into cream contouring after what I've seen my cousin do with this kit on my face. 

I got the kit in the shade light! 

As you can tell I've already used it before taking a picture when I opened it however I was too excited! 

Of course with the cream contour kit you need the powder contour kit to set the cream of the contour!

The package is so cute not to mention the classic Kat Von D design. My brother's girlfriend Jen actually got this for me as a birthday gift, so thanks Jen! She got me the refillable pan kit! 

Lately I've been digging the pink/berry tone eyeshadows. After watching lots of reviews of the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow I decided to give it a try and buy one!

I purchased Always Pearly Pink

I couldn't just get one from this line 

This beautiful shade is called Amber Rush. It has a nice subtle copper colour to it!

I did some swatches to see how pigmented they are! As you can tell pretty pigmented!!

First swatch is Amber Rush and second is Always Pearly Pink!

Maybelline Color 24HR Tattoo - Inked in Pink

Here's the swatch for this one and I did it really light. Every YouTube guru and review I've watched said its really pigmented which it is! I only pressed my finger so lightly! I wanted to get this because everyone says it goes so well with the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and it's one of my favourite palettes out of the three I own from the Naked palette line!

For quite some time I was on a hunt for a good drugstore eye primer and lots of people on YouTube recommended the Milani eye primer! I've already used it once and it's amazing. The consistency reminds me of the Primer Potion from Urban Decay.

I wanted to get back into tight lining my upper eyelid, therefore I bought this eyeliner pencil from Milani. I've got to say Milani is a pretty good drugstore product and their packaging is so chic!

Since my e.l.f duo clear gel brush ran out and I could no longer find the same price I bought the clear gel brush for I decided to opt out and try the CoverGirl one! I use this product on my eyebrow hairs to keep it in place because they're too long and on my bottom lash to give it that volume without making it too harsh from black mascara.

Morphe 35F Palette: Fall into Frost

Last week I checked out Morphe's website and I wanted to get a basic palette, well as you can tell by the picture and name of this palette it isn't really basic. I love the shimmered eyeshadows and it's really pigmented! I also love how they kept the last row all matte colours so you can play around with this palette and not have to grab your matte shadows somewhere else. Really useful and the colours are great.

Morphe 35O

I was torned between this palette or the 35F so I got both. Mostly all the colours here in this palette are matte and some are shimmery which I like because you can create a variety of eye looks with only using this palette! I already made a couple of looks from this palette and can't wait to show you all! 

Morphe Elite Brushes

From left to right

Morphe Fan Brush E33

Morphe Pointed Blender M504

Morphe Angled Contour E16

Morphe Double Pointed Concealer E25

Morphe Pointed Fluffy Blender M433

Another reason for me going on their website was to check out their brush collection and as you can tell I bought some must haves and ones I wanted to try. My favourite brush has to be the big fan brush cause it's so fluffy and applying my highlight with that feels so great!

Over the long weekend Sephora had a VIB sale from Nov.11 to the 14! Members get 20% off so of course I had to buy a couple of things. Also my mum gave me a $50 giftcard to Sephora which of course encouraged me to shop more.

HudaBeauty Rose Gold Edition Palette!

I bought this palette because I heard so many reviews. It was a mixed review and I decided to trust my instincts and get it because for starters I love the colours especially the textured shadows. A lot of people complained about how it wasn't as pigmented and it was hard to dip your finger in for a swatch or to apply the shadow because of their long nails. I personally have no problems dipping or swatching with my finger and I absolutely love the colours. I haven't played with this palette yet but when I do I'll definitely post about it! Textured shadows are best applied with your fingers!

The second item I got from Sephora was the Tartette in Bloom palette from Tarte Cosemtics!

Hello there's me! 

Out of all my eyeshadow palettes I bought this one is the only palette with a mirror which I love. Makes it easier to apply your eyeshadow on the go or in the comfort on your bed. No more going up to the mirror... Right? Anyways I got this palette because of the colours and of course reviews were great! The palette also smells like chocolate!! Beautiful palette overall!

When you order online you can choose any three samples for free so I got a Chloe perfume, YSL one and the Benefit Pore Minimizer.

Well that's it folks! That's all the makeup I bought in the past two weeks! It's a lot and I'm excited to play around with it!

Disclaimer: all items were purchased out of my wallet. Sorry bank account! Also this post is to show what I got, in no way am I bragging! 

Take care of yourselves~

Collective Haul

This post will be about why my wallet has been crying for the past couple months! I don't really know when I purchased these items all I know it has been monthly purchase so I thought why not just combine them. Enough with the introductory and let's see some purchases!

Green Tea and Pink Lemonade Mask - Winners

During the time I bought these I felt my face needed some treatment.

Green Tea to detox and get rid of red marks.

Pink Lemonade to refresh and get rid of dark marks.

TIPS: put these in the fridge for an extra cooling effect!

Flat Top Brush - Winners

The brush was cute and I loved how flat it was!

Great for foundation use and blending!

2017 Planner - Chapters

I want to be organize for the upcoming year especially if I'm going to Nursing school.

Bought this cute with a little attitude planner!

It's actually so adorable to write in and I get excited when I use it.

So far I've been good at it!

Milwaukee Tape Measure Key Chain 

My work was selling these adorable tape measure key chain.

A coworker bought it for me because I wouldn't stop talking about it.

Thanks Celine :')!

Watermelon Bath Sponge - XXI

Damn those bins near the cash point. 

I always end up adding something to my purchase whenever I'm at XXI.

Can't help myself they always display the cutest merchandise near the cash point!

Nike Lanyard

Jen got this for me when they were at the States.

It was about time I changed my lanyard because my lanyard was Heineken!

Thanks Jen!

Chameleon Chrome x Grid Print Make Up Pouch - XXI

I couldn't resist.

I had to purchase these make up bags!

They were such great add ons and the grid print has so much space!

Urban Decay - Naked Skin Foundation in 6.0

I went to Sephora in need of a new foundation because my face got a little dark.

The lady skin matched me for this shade.

But Jen and my cousin thinks its too dark, I knew I should've said something.

Nevertheless I love this foundation its light weight and doesn't feel cakey!

Urban Decay Naked Powder - Medium

Champagne Pop - Becca

This highlighter is the bomb dot com.

My mum got it for me when she was in the states.

I've used this many times and the highlight would stay in place.

The best!

GlowKit Sun Dipped - Anastasia 

My mum then purchased this for me which I love her for.

Apparently it was the last one there so it was meant to be~

Haven't used it personally yet but when I do I shall swatch!

Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier

I CAVED!

After my cousin did my makeup and she baked my face for the very first time 

I just had to get my hands on one for myself,

So far its lived up to its expectations and I wasn't properly using it.

Natural Falsies - Ardells

I've been trying my hardest to get into false eyelashes.

Even though I don't need it I love how it makes my eyes pop!

Green Bomber Jacket - Garage

Another item that I caved in.

A lot of people have been rocking this type of jacket.

I wasn't really into it until I tried it on at Garage.

Now its pretty much my go to jacket.

Windbreaker - Garage

I am in love with this windbreaker.

The colour and fit is everything I was looking for.

The fact that its a pullover makes it better.

There's just something about this style that I couldn't walk away from.

Makes a great hiking outer wear!

Off the Shoulder One Piece - H&M

I wasn't really a fan of these one piece style until yet again I tried it on,

This top is so basic yet cute at the same time.

Pair it with jeans for a casual look or a skirt to look cute/classy.

Jersey Halter Top - XXI

I've been into this type of style for tops.

The number and colour worked for me so why not... Right?

Coloroid Skirt - XXI

Do I even have to explain myself why I bought this?

Charmed Choker - Aldo

Ah yes the chokers are back in style!

This one had  my eyes when I walked into Aldo!

Cute and simplistic is all we need.

Wrap Up Choker - Aldo

Another famous choker since the 90's one.

It seems silly to have a piece of string on your neck till you actually 

put it on and see how cute you are.

That just goes to show the knock it till you try it!

That's pretty much my whole haul! I am probably forgetting a bunch of things but I'll just add it to the next haul because let's be real it's me. There's always a next haul, I should probably save up but it's so hard when you see something cute!

Thanks for reading and p.s this is not a bragging post!
