hitting the pan
How difficult it is to “hit the pan” (i.e. use up enough product to see the pan at the bottom of the product) depends a lot on how extensive your makeup collection is: you definitely hit the pan a lot sooner on a product if you only have 3 or 4 blushes to choose from in the morning (like me) than 8 or 9 My collection is certainly much smaller than many makeup lovers out there, so...

review: hard candy blush crush baked blush in...
Have you gotten a chance to lurk your closest Wal-Mart to check out the Hard Candy makeup collection? Cute packaging, fun product names (Glamoflauge concealer, Welcome Matte pressed powder), budget-friendly pricing and positive reviews all make it pretty hard to stay away! In particular, I read Rae’s review of Honeymoon a while back shortly before my roadtrip to Washington, so of course I...

my inner office lady
There’s a side of me that really loves button-up blouses and pencil skirts :3
(The pictures are grainy because the lighting was actually pretty low.)
My favourite blouse ever. All of the darts in it make it the perfect fit for me and there’s a diamond white-on-white pattern.
I went shopping again last Saturday :x But but but I picked up this sweater on sale for $20~~ it might be...

review: l'oreal voluminous million lashes
This week, I’m taking a break from Wishlist Wednesday to post a review for a new(ish) product that you might’ve been wondering about :3
L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara started popping up recently just a few weeks ago in drugstores around Vancouver while ads of Eva Longoria batting some serious lashes were airing on TV. In its first week or two Shoppers Drug Mart had...

wishlist wednesday: stila stay all day waterproof...
Back in August, I posted about my first-ever trip to Murale in Vancouver, where I saw in person and swatched Stila products for the first time. I loved the Smudge Stick in Gold, but what I think I loved even more was this perfectly inky liquid liner. Its marker tip was smooth, precise, and easy to control, and it took forever before it finally washed off the back of my hand. Don’t get me...

super awesome gosh sale goodies
In what I assume is a clearout of products and shades that are discontinued (or about to be), I spied a crapton of GOSH products with $0.99 and $1.99 stickers at the Shoppers near my work. I’m a fan of GOSH for its lovely eyeliners and especially the X-Ceptional Wear foundation so I was immediately in :O!!! mode and got to work picking through everything.
When things that you know to be...

wishlist wednesday: brtc jasmine water bb cream
If you’ve never heard of it before, BB cream (blemish balm cream) is a category of makeup rarely seen on this side of the world, but quite popular in Asia. It originated as a topical post-laser treatment balm to protect the skin and help it heal: characteristics helped this product transition to the cosmetics industry. BB cream fanatics swear by its skin-improving powers while providing a...

review: l'oreal skin genesis eye serum
Okay, so before this I always just used my facial moisturizer for my undereye skin. What prompted me to buy a product to use exclusively for this area?
1. I hadn’t been treating it too well—there was an eye makeup remover-less period where I was rubbing and pulllling a lot on my skin when I’m removing my eye makeup
2. (possibly related to #1) I flipped because I noticed a...
