CURRENT BEAUTY FAVES



Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer with Goji Berry and Haloxyl:

I wear it in the color Honey Miel which is the perfect shade for my complexion. It covers any imperfection while also brightening your under eyes. 

Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss-Super Natural: 
Great nude color to wear on its own or over a lipstick, which is another favorite. 

Wet&Wild Lipstick:
Another great nude shade that I like to wear under the revlon lipgloss.

Sally Hansen nail polish: Glitz Gal
This nail polish is a really pretty glittery color which is perfect for the holidays. Its a dark silver shade with hints of purple,blue and silver running through it. 

The Body Shop: Vanilla Brulee Body Butter
The smell of this body better is amazing, its not a strong vanilla scent but more of coconut butter. Its a great moisturizer especially as we get into the winter months. 

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster
I have been searching for a bronzer that was going to leave my skin looking glowy and healthy. This bronzer is one of my holy grails now. It is a combination of powder, as well as baked and cream bronzers which gives an amazing finish.

DINNER AT THE AULD SHEBEEN



My family and I went to an Irish restaurant called The Auld Shebeen in celebration of their anniversary. I'd never been before and I would have to say it is one of the best restaurants in my city. We were welcomed to sit by the fireplace and all the decor was charming and festive.

BLACK FRIDAY


Black Friday has come and gone, marking the official start of the Christmas season! As well as every year, I participated in Black Friday shopping, I mean why wouldn't you? I went to two malls in my area and shopped in H&M and Zara, as well as some other stores for Christmas presents. Zara had 30% off the entire store and H&M had sales on particular items, here are the pieces I picked up.

Lancôme Minis



Génifique Eye Cream

This is a youth activating eye concentrate which helps reduce dark circles, eye bags and fine lines. It says results should show in seven days and today would be second day. It feels so lovely under the eyes and it leaves my skin very smooth and hydrated. 

Bi-Facil

This double action eye makeup remover, I've got to say is absolutely amazing! It removes all of my stubborn eye makeup including waterproof mascara and leaves my eyelids smooth and very refreshed. 

Cils Booster XL

This is a super-enhancing white mascara base which lengthens my lashes and makes them appear fuller.

 Définicils Mascara

I love this mascara because it defines my lashes and makes them super long! The two combined are perfect and I will definitely be buying the two in the bigger sizes. 

Happy Holidays everyone!
