Urban Decay: Revolution Lipgloss

The past few months I've been collecting new lip items, and I thought with Valentines day coming up I would share one of my new favourite products for kissable looking lips!

I received the Urban Decay Revolution Lipgloss in Bittersweet as a 100 point perk from Sephora, and I loved it so much I decided to pick up the Double Shot Travel-size Duo that came with their best-selling nude shade in Liar and an exclusive fuchsia shade in Anarchy!

Packaging: The packaging is really beautiful! It is very slim, and the clear packaging lets you see the colour inside. The doe foot applicator tapers allowing more precision during application and is the perfect size for swiping on colour!

Formula: These lip glosses feel so creamy and have the perfect amount of shine! The shine wears off really beautifully, leaving behind a slight stain of the colour. It is so comfortable and pigmented and contains Hilurlip which is supposed to make lips look fuller.

Bittersweet

Liar

Although Anarchy and Bittersweet are quite bold, I have found that they are still wearable and easy to sheer out. Liar is my perfect nude and I find myself wearing the most! These lip glosses deliver in pigment, shine, and comfort, making them a great option for an everyday lip colour! I am so excited to pick up more shades!

I hope this post was helpful! If you have any colour suggestions leave them in the comments down below! Thanks for stopping by!

Dior Addict Lip Glow: Holy Grail Lip Product

For the past year and a half I have been using my Dior Addict Lip Glow religiously. It's what lives in my bag and is my go to lip colour when I want a no fuss lippy! It is made with Mango Butter to nourish and soothe the lips and Loofah Extract to moisturize and heal them. It is very hydrating and gives me the most beautiful wash of colour that fades throughout the day evenly and lasts a long time! It has a balmy texture and smells like chocolate and mint. I love that I can put it on without a mirror and not worry that it has gone everywhere!  It truly is a "my lips but better" product, as it  gradually enhances the natural colour of your lips with "revive technology", making it the perfect pink to pair with any makeup (or no makeup) look! Not only is it hydrating and leaves my lips looking plump and pink, it has SPF 10 to protect them! It's an all in one type of product! 

I should also mention that the packaging is quite beautiful and well made! I've dropped mine more times than I can count, and it still looks brand new!

On top are the before shots and below is around 5 minutes after application. The colour change is not as visible as it is in person, but you can still see how it has enhanced the colour of my lips! It usually gets a little bit darker than this, as it takes a while for the colour to fully develop.

I am almost out of mine and I will definitely be purchasing another as soon as I run out! It has a hefty price tag at $37.00 here in Canada, but I think it is worth every penny! I noticed there was also a coral version of this product which I would love to get my hands on, as I love coral lips for the Spring and Summer. I hope you enjoyed this post! Tell me your holy grail lip product in the comments below! Have a great day!

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!

$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

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!

Bite Beauty: Lush Fruit Lip Gloss

Thanks to Sephora's Black Friday sale, I was sucked into buying this mini lip gloss trio from Bite Beauty. I've seen some other beauty Bloggers and YouTuber's mention these products, but I thought I would do a little review of my own. 

First of all, these Lip Glosses are made with real fruit oils, which makes them taste and smell super yummy.

Packaging: To me, packaging isn't a huge deal in what makes or breaks a product, but I do have to say that I really like the simple and classic glass tube with a matte black top. The applicator is also really nice as it is a curved doe foot, making it form to your lips a bit more than the classic doe foot applicator.

                                       Currant                                        

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan 

Formula: The formula of these lip glosses is thick (in a good way!) and sticky, and they are described to be highly pigmented. The colour Currant goes on evenly, but I found that on my lips not much colour appeared. It was more of a "my lips but better" kind of gloss. Strawberry and Rambutan were both very pigmented, but I found them to go on less smoothly and that they needed to be built up to get even colour pay-off on my lips. They also settled into the lines on my lips more than Currant did. You can tell from the swatches below the difference in consistency and application on my lips between the colours. Another plus for the formula is that these glosses last a long time, and are not drying!

 Currant (Sheer Plum)

Strawberry (Sheer Carnation Pink)

Rambutan (Peachy Nude)

Currant, Strawberry, Rambutan

I think the colours are beautiful, and that they are very true to their descriptions. Currant would have to be my favourite out of the three simply due to its smooth application, however that will not stop me from wearing the other two, because I still think that they look beautiful when I take my time to apply them.They just aren't a gloss that I could slap on without a mirror. Overall, I think that any of these glosses would be a great pick for those of you who don't mind sticky formulas!

All of these colours (and more) are available in full size at Sephora! Let me know what you think of these glosses in the comments below!
