If there is one makeup launch that I absolutely drop everything to check out – it’s a new palette from Urban Decay. Am I right? There’s nothing like an Urban Decay palette and as far as I’m concerned, you cannot have too many. Recently, Urban Decay launched the limited edition Backtalk Palette and I was dying to check it out. Unlike the eyeshadow-only Naked palettes,…

Man Ray For Nars Holiday 2017 Collection
First off I’m soooo sorry for being MIA recently. The last few months of pregnancy and the early arrival of Baby Ellie on November 28th (stay tuned for the cutest newborn pics) has been a bit ‘challenging’ should we say? More on that soon…Today though, let’s talk about makeup. I’ve been dying to review all of the amazing collections that I have a backlog of….

NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette and Other Faves
I always love when I get inspired to create a new eyeshadow regime. It doesn’t happen often. Typically I stick to my tried and tested neutrals (i.e. Urban Decay Naked Palette). Enter my new obsession – NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette. I’m talking 12 new velvety shadows that have rich pigments and give high payoff.

Kat Von D, Tarte, Maybelline, L’Oreal Paris, and even high end brand Tom Ford have all jumped on the contouring palette bandwagon….

Travel Friendly – Tarteist Pro To Go Amazonian Clay Palette
Sometimes there is nothing as refreshing as adding a new makeup palette to your collection. Give me an eyeshadow palette, a cheek palette or a highlighting palette any day and I’m beyond excited! One of the major issues I have with some of my favourite palettes (i.e. Urban Decay Naked, or Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette), is that they’re so big! They…

MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Light Fusion
Are you a highlighting addict? No I’m not talking about those yellow and green neon markers we collected as teenagers (high school memories anyone?). I’m talking about the gorgeous luminescent glow we can give ourselves with this magical makeup called a highlighter. Most beauty brands have their own version of a highlighter and techniques come and go, but the real test for me is PIGMENTATION. How…

Retired Olympian and TV personality Bruce Jenner transitioned into Caitlyn Jenner, shocking his (her) family, friends and the nation. When MAC announced a collaboration with Caitlyn Jenner, I started counting down the minutes for the release. Caitlyn Jenner has fearlessly shared…
