Spring Haul

Over the past month I've been buying some new things for Spring. And since the Sephora VIB sale was last month, I used that as an opportunity to restock on some skincare items that I needed. I thought it would be great to share what I have purchased with you guys since I've had some time to use them and see what I like!
 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette 

$67.00 at Sephora
I mentioned I wanted this in my Beauty Wishlist and I bought it as a gift to myself for completing my second year of University! All three powders make my skin look flawless. My favourite is Dim Light and I use it all over my face to even out the look of my skin!
 

Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

$29.00 at Sephora
I was in serious need of a new eyeshadow primer! So far I love it! I have super oily eyelids and my eye makeup doesn't budge all day!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Daily Face Cream

$25.00 at Sephora
I love this face cream, and my current one is almost out! It is the perfect lightweight consistency for my combo/oily skin. I love it!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser With Red Clay

$30.00 at Sephora
This cleanser is gentle and clarifying, I've purchased two in the past and although my current one isn't out yet, I bought an extra for when I do run out!
 

Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Twin Pack (Sensitive)

$49.00 at Sephora
I love the sensitive brush heads for my Clarisonic! They clean my skin so well, I don’t think I can ever go back to using just my hands!
 

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Original

$8.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This spring I've been trying to go longer between washes and when my hair looks oily this stuff gets the job done!
 

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - Medium to Tan

$5.00 at Walmart
Since my job is mostly inside, I don't spend much time outside. I love having a tan, so I thought this would be a nice product to try! It smells good, is great at moisturising my skin, and leaves a nice glow behind!
 

Covergirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion Oil Free Foundation - 120 Nude Beige

$6.00 at Walmart
I ran out of foundation, and since I've heard so many good things about this one I wanted to try it out. It looks so natural on my skin and lasts a really long time!
 

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm - 105 Demure

$8.00 at Walmart
I wanted a sheer nude lippy for spring and this one looks great!
 

L’Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24H - 171 Blackest Black

$10.00 at Walmart
It was time to purchase a new gel liner, and this one was recommended to me by a friend. I love how smooth and easy to apply it is!
 

L’Oréal Infallible 24H Eye Shadow - Amber Rush

$10 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This eye shadow has been plastered all over the internet for ages and I wanted to see what all the hype was about! The colour is so pigmented and it makes my eyes pop! It is easy to apply and blend out as well. If you like shimmery eye shadow I would highly recommend this!

I hope you enjoyed! Comment down below what you've been buying for spring and summer! Have a great week!

Naturally Glamorous Grad Makeup

My little sister, Jordyn graduated from High School this past weekend, and for her big day I helped her do her makeup. Normally she doesn't wear a lot of makeup, so we tried to keep it natural while still looking glamorous and done up! She looked stunning and we both loved how it turned out, so I thought that I would share it with you as Prom/Grad season is starting up! Also, I thought I should mention that we took these photos after 12 hours of wearing the makeup and it still looked incredible, so you can count on the products we used to last all day!

Face

Primer: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
Foundation: Visanti Liquid Cover Up Foundation in V1

Under Eye Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in Light & L’Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Crayon Concealer in W1-2-3 Fair/Light

Highlight: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent Light

Eyes

Primer: Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Eyeshadow: As a base I placed Tufted Suede (matte skin tone colour) by Too Faced all over her lid. Then I worked Naked (matte mid toned brown) from Urban Decay's Naked Palette into her crease and blended it up as a transition shade. I used Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (matte warm chocolate brown) to deepen her crease and then placed a little bit of Rain (matte cool toned brown) from Stila's In The Know Palette in the outer half of her crease. I used Rain again on the whole outer third of her lid and blended. Then I took Sin (shimmery champagne) from the Naked Palette and placed that all over the inner half of her lid. To blend Sin and Rain together, I used Toasted from the Naked Palette. To deepen the outer lid, I blended a bit more of Rain into the Outer lid and into the crease. On the Outer-V I used Smog (shimmery golden brown) from the Naked Palette to add some warmth and then blended Haute Chocolate (shimmery dark purple-brown) on top. As a browbone highlight I used the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent Light from the Ambient Lighting Palette.

After her face and eye makeup was done I misted her with Urban Decay's De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray, and the look was finished!

Although we didn't do the hair ourselves, I thought I would show you a picture in case you need some inspiration!

It was such a great day and my sister looked so gorgeous! I hope it was a day she'll remember forever! To see more photos of her makeup in action, you can check out professional shots here! I hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspired you in some way! If you are graduating, Congratulations! I hope you have a safe and magical day!
