Stila All Day Wear Waterproof Brow Color

I have been looking for the perfect waterproof brow pen/pencil for a long time and I have finally found one!! If this is your case too, then look no further.

Stila's All Day Wear Waterproof Brow Color is the one!

Not only is it waterproof and actually stays on all day, it has a flexible felt tip applicator for the finest precision on your brows and allows you to draw in those fine little hairs.

The formula is thin, so you don't have the feeling of using a sharpie on your brows or having that tattooed effect, and has a natural-looking finish. It deposits just the right amount of colour and dries very quickly.

It comes in three colors, 'light', 'medium' and 'dark'. The colors are quite cool toned, except for the light shade which has a slightly warmer tone. The colour is quite build-able, so even if the match is not perfect, you can reach it by layering it on a couple of times.

The 'light' shade is perfect for blondes, the 'medium' shade has a soft gray-taupe colour, and the 'dark' shade, for example, could work for a black brow effect as it has a cool undertone. Of course in a perfect world they would have shades to match all of our brows.

You can use it to just fill in the gaps in your brows and extend the tips, or draw them in completely.
I can assure you that it is waterproof and will stay on all day.

A little tip; store it with the applicator facing down to avoid fading or drying.

The lasting power is unbelievable and the precision, oh that precision, is absolutely amazing.

This brow pen is a definite BUY!

Clarins Daily Energizer Cream

The holidays and festive times are now behind us and here comes the time of the year we all dread. January, February and March are the hardest times of the year for all of us. Those three months when we drag our feet a little more, feel tired and a little depressed. Snow, rain and cold weather can really get you and your skin down.

Now that the winter is upon us, we need an energy boost for our bodies as well as for our skin. The dull and tired-looking complexions will have to be tackled!

I absolutely love Clarins products. The use of natural ingredients, such as plant extracts and essential oils, make these products stand out. Utilizing the best of what plants have to offer, they are perfect for people with sensitive or irritable skin.

Being the No.1 prestige face products company in Europe, not only for their amazing line of products but also for their unique application methods to optimize their effectiveness, they have certainly captured our attention.

It is the perfect time to start using the Daily Energizer Cream.

With extracts of alchemilla, gingko biloba, vitamin C and turmeric, yes turmeric, this cream gives the skin an energy boost and instant radiance by increasing microcirculation. Just perfect for those wintery mornings.

Its fresh and soft aroma immediately wakes you up. And unlike other creams, it doesn't smell like perfume or chemicals, which I personally prefer. Its cream texture is light enough for the skin but heavy enough to keep it well hydrated during the entire day. It doesn't make the skin feel oily or shiny, it absorbs very nicely and leaves a perfect finish. You can also skip the primer using this moisturizer as it helps minimize imperfections; excellent makeup base.

To apply, warm the product in your hands, massage on face and neck (don't forget your neck ladies!) without pressing, and then gently press on the cheeks, the forehead and the neck. Your skin will instantly look firmer by draining pressure points. Video link: http://youtu.be/_tB1uEm3QA4

To enhance results use in synergy with the Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel and the Daily Energizer Wake-up Booster Toner. For those who have oily skin, you can opt for the lotion or cream-gel texture. You could also use the cream for your cheeks and the lotion for your t-zone if you have combination skin. And don't forget to exfoliate at least once a week to keep dead skin cells away!

This morning face moisturizer is a definite BUY!

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette

Over the holidays I treated myself to some new and exciting makeup at our new downtown Vancouver Sephora.

My favourite purchase was the Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette. I have to say, the packaging was the first thing to catch my attention. It comes in a beautiful metal tin (which can be reusable or kept as a keepsake) and looks so girly and pretty. It almost looks antique. It has an integrated magnet to ensure it closes properly and comes with a built-in mirror. It also comes with a how-to guide! What else can you ask for? Ahhh but of course, amazing quality eyeshadows!

There are 9 nicely pigmented shades (3 mattes, 4 satins and 2 shimmers) to accomplish any look you want, from soft to sexy to bold. They're categorized under "Day", "Classic" and "Fashion". The names are obviously in theme with the 'bedroom', which is all good, but maybe not appropriate for the younger crowd. For example, 'French Tickler' and 'Lap Dance'; I don't even want to know what 'Sugar Walls' is, but if it means what I think it does, then it's definitely not for the youngsters. Although these days what aren't they doing?

Apart for those questionable names, which is subject for another blog, I absolutely love this eyeshadow palette.

Rich and silky colors that are a definite BUY!
