Hi everyone!

Today, I will be reviewing one of my favorite blush: Rare Beauty soft pinch liquid blush in ''Encourage''. This warm-toned dark pink (with a radiant finish) is the perfect everyday blush. Rare Beauty liquid blush are some of the most popular and for good reasons: love the applicator, the pigmentation and color selection are so beautiful.

Rare Beauty has so many amazing products. Selena Gomez made an amazing line of beauty products.

MAC satin lipstick ''Verve''

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my latest MAC lipstick: Verve!  This dark nude berry mauve and brownish pink lipstick is perfect for someone that likes wearing dark colours but still keep low-key.  It is vampy yet neutral, if that makes any sense.

As always, I love the vanilla cupcake scent that all MAC lipsticks has... So yummy! (for some reason, I feel like the smell is stronger with Verve!)

The staying power of this lipstick is great and is very easy to work with.. although you might need lip liner if you want to be more precise as its really pigmented.

The texture is ultra creamy. It is also very pigmented.

Overall, such a pretty colour that I adore... this might be my new holy grail! Xx

Update.

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven't been blogging a whole lot lately... But I have good reasons: I have been busy AND my Macbook pro hasn't been working well... Everything is very slow to load takes about 15-30 minutes. Sometimes it closes randomly, I'm not sure why; I have only had this Macbook pro laptop for about a year. I used to have PCs... Has anyone ever had this problem? If so, please tell me what you did!! I would like to get it fixed soon professionally but the Apple Store is like 3 hours away. This is the second time I have to fix my Macbook... kinda sad.

So I might just get a new PC this month, so I can finally go on my laptop without waiting forever and always crashing on me!

Do you have suggestions for affordables PC's? :)

I'm going to Ottawa this month, so I'll get my laptop after my trip!

Anyways I'm really forward to getting a new laptop! :) So I can blog more as well!!

Review | MAC lipstick "Velvet Teddy"

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing one of the latest MAC product to enter my collection, the famous Velvet Teddy lipstick (Kylie Jenner, anyone?). I'm most likely surprised it wasn't sold out when I went to MAC. Anyways, these kind of shade are just my favorite to wear everyday... 

Velvet Teddy is a matte browny mauve. For a matte lipstick, it is really soft and smooth. I will have to try this with MAC's Whirl lipliner. It has a great lasting power, stays for a few hours before needing to be reapplied.

Also, the MAC packaging is so classy, right? I just love it! 

Here's a swatch of the lovely Velvet Teddy, it doesn't really seem matte, but I promise it is... it doesn't dries out and the texture is great for a matte lipstick.

Overall, it's a great lipstick for everyday wear. One of my new favorites/forever repurchasing Velvet Teddy.

2016 | Thoughts, Goals & Resolutions

Hey everyone. Hope I'm not too late for post. (better late than never, right?!)

Well, well, 2016. What can I say? A brand new year, that sounds quite hopeful. The year that I turn 23 (February 1st - what? so soon... *perks of having your birthday at the beginning of the year*)... I'm sad to say that Taylor Swift - 22 won't be my theme song anymore (but forever in my heart). I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22. Forever 22.

I'm truly hoping that 2016, I meet great new people, travel a lot, discover new things, keep up with my goals & resolutions, do new projects,... etc.

| Goals & Resolutions for 2016 |

• Workout regularly & eat healthier - I know this might be everyones resolutions, but I see it more as a lifestyle change than a diet! 
• Read more - I used to read a lot but I have the trouble to find the time to do it. So, heres to hoping I read the new books and magazines I have.
• Take more pictures - This too, I used to take so many pictures but not having enough time makes me not do it. I need to get back to photography as well. And up my blog photography game.
• Go to a concert - I'd like to go see a band I really like (Kings of Leon, Panic! At The Disco, The Neighbourhood... etc.) even if it means travelling for hours. Also, I'd love to go to a music festival this summer.
• Save money - This is something I really to do this year.
• Blog more - You might not think of it that way but blogging is really time consuming, but I love it and I really want to blog more this year!! I really want to make my blog bigger & better in 2016...
• Travel more - I really like to go places I've never been to before & take the plane, train...
• Get back into dancing & practice my guitar skills - I miss it so much.

I have so many more goals, resolutions but this list would never end so ahah! xX

Bye 2015, Hello 2016!

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Is it just me or 2016 sounds hopeful? I'm sure it'll be amazing!

Looking back on 2015...

Well, another year over... I feel like year went by so quick, so I'm not even sure if I can if it's been good or bad. Loads of things happened in 2015, but I'm sure it was just preparing me for what the great year 2016 will be! :) In 2015, I turned 22 (I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22!), took the train for the first (I love travelling by train, which I'm hoping will happen again in 2016, and maybe taking the plane?!), decided to come back home cause the program I was studying at college wasn't quite right..., met a few new people, went on a boat tour this summer and so many more things!! I feel like I can't quite remember everything as it went by too quick...

Hello, 2016.

I'm really looking forward to 2016. I have a feeling like it's gonna be my year. I don't know about you guys but as I said it sounds hopeful. I have many goals which I believe I can achieve this year. I have a lot of ideas and projects for this year as well.

Dear 2016, please be good

and I hope everyone has a great, great year! xo

note - I will have more posts soon for resolutions/goals/2015 favorites, etc...
