My Top 3 Spring Makeup Trends

I walked outside this morning and it wasn't in the negatives. I may have flipped out a little bit in realization that it was time to change up my makeup routine! I resolved to bring out the baby-blues and bright oranges, but decided to check out the runway trends anyway for on-trend ideas. Here's what I found and liked!

1. All About the Eyeliner
cool eye makeup

Death to the smokey eye- eyes on the runway were dominated by graphic liner this season. Ready-for-takeoff wings, painted colour and even spikes were seen around the world! I'm actually pretty bad with liner, but I'm excited to try new things, especially since any screw-up will be seen as a bold statement. You can't go wrong!


2. Lavender

My favourite colour (okay, one of many, but this is the colour my room has been painted all of my life) makes a comeback! Last year's trend was lavender lips, and now it seems it's moved up to the eyes and cheeks. It's best paired with a groomed but natural-looking brow and bare lips, it seems, but I'm looking forward to pairing it with bright lips too. 'Lavender" is used loosely here, as any shade of plum or lilac is fair game too. I'm planning on using lavender not just for eyes, but for lips and cheeks too.

3. Ruby Lips


Red lips for Spring...? I mean, I was getting excited to wear coral and orange, but okay. I'll try anything. It'll be neat to pair bright candy-red lips with a colourful pop of liner. I'll probably opt for sheerer or glossier reds than the ones pictured above, to keep maintenance on the lower end.

Well, those are the trends I've got my eye on for spring! Stay tuned for next week when I post my attempts and picks for all of them!

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop
