April Ipsy Bag

I've been subscribed to Ipsy since December and all in all, I've been happy with the products I'm getting. Each month it works out to be about $16.55 CAD (dependent on exchange rate) for one bag. This month has definitely earned it's worth, in my opinion!

Here are my goodies:

This month's bag is "Beauty Rocks" themed and the contents of the bag work well with the theme. Although the makeup bag itself is a little flimsy (the other bags have been sturdier) I like the size of this one.

I got a travel sized Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Black Velvet, Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion treatment which I have yet to use, Elizabeth Mott's pop! goes the shadow in Champagne, Starlooks lip pencil in Naked, and lastly a Coastal Scents medium shadow brush.

The eyeliner and lip liner were my favourites of the bag (I mentioned them both in this month's favourites video), but I also really enjoy the champagne shadow. I've got a Sigma E55 brush that does a better job than the Coastal Scents one, and I'm a little wary of trying the microdermabrasion treatment.

Left to Right: pop! goes the shadow; champagne. Starlooks lip liner; Naked. UB 24/7 liner; Black Velvet.

The eyeshadow is very smooth and buttery and has a pretty glow to it. It provides a very sparkly highlight to the inner corner of the eye and it can even be used as a cheek highlight as long as you apply it carefully.

The lip liner is extremely soft and creamy! Has great pigmentation and blends like a dream!

The UB 24/7 liner is smudge-proof when it's dry and is one of the darkest, creamiest, and truest black liners I've tried on the market.

All in all, a great "bang" for your buck. Most of the products are mid-range to high-end as well. There are some "filler" products of lesser quality but it really isn't that hard on the wallet. Who knows, you may even like some lesser known products if you have an open mind! Thanks for reading :)

Love,

jane

April Favourites 2014

Helloooooo! Long time no see. Kind of.

Exams are officially done for this semester so I am making my way back into the blogging world.

Here are my favourites this month. (If you don't like to read, all the info below is in the video).

Soap & Glory Rub Your Nose In It
This stuff is amazing! It really helps minimize the look of pores with extended use.

Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation "Medium Bisque"
I have the color Medium Bisque and it's the PERFECT colour for me right now. It's so blendable and easily buildable.

BareMinerals Matte Foundation "Golden Fair"
This loose foundation has been great for a casual day at school or work. The coverage is variable - can be light or can be built up to medium coverage. Best part? It doesn't clog pores.

Urban Decay 24/7 Liner "Black Velvet"
Loveeeee this liner. Honestly. It's so pigmented and blendable. And it doesn't smudge! Must try more.

Sonia Kashuk Eyeliner Brush #107
It's tiny and gives you a lot of control. Perfect for flicking that gel liner!

Sigma E40 Blending Brush
My holy grail blending brush. Perfect for all pigments!

Starlooks Luscious Longwear Lip Pencil "Naked"
I've been loving this! It came in my April Ipsy bag and I think it's perfect for spring. Think pink roses and cream.

That's it, folks! Thanks for reading/watching.

Love,

Top Secret Video?!

I have some luck. Every time I choose to shoot a video, it's freezing. As in below zero.

Sigh.

Oh well! This is a secret video that will be revealed on Easter (Good Friday)...you probably have an inkling about what it's about right? ;)

Anyhow, here's one photo taken on set by Pat Pho of PatPho-tography! He has a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes photos on his blog too so make sure to check em out!

Also, I'll have a new video up very soon! Stay tuned.
