How to Stay Cosy During the Winter

(Photo by Paige McNeely)  Happy New Year! This week I have decided to bring you my favourite way to stay cosy in the winter. So grab a tent and let's have some winter fun! ... Yes, I did say tent.  My roommates and I decided to set up a tent in our living room, and once filled with blankets and pillows it the perfect escape from the cold. After we all get home, we snuggle up inside and turn on our favourite TV show, which happens to be Real Housewives of Vancouver (Paige is going to kill me for saying that).  Hot chocolate and cozy pajamas are of course a must! My choice will always be  these  leopard ones from Target but as you can't get them in Canada anymore, adore me has some super cute sets, some girlie and some more classic.  I have to say the best hot chocolate by far is that cookie flavoured one... I think it's honestly just called chocolate chip cookie hot chocolate, I unfortunately can't remember the brand! Light some candle...

Warm and Cosy Autumn Nature Inspired Makeup Look

       Autumn is my absolute favourite season! I love the weather, fashion, makeup, and of course all the delicious food. Today's makeup look a daytime look inspired by the warm colours of nature during autumn. It focuses on warm eyes, healthy looking skin, and a warm lip.  Face: 1. Start with a medium coverage matte or semi-matte finish foundation and using your fingers or a brush, blend the product into your skin. If you have fairly good skin don't apply foundation everywhere, just dab it where you need a little coverage or skip this step all together.  Clinique Even Better Foundation or Maybelline Superstay 24hr Foundation. 2.  To brighten up your under eye area and keep you looking fresh and awake, apply a light concealer underneath your eyes in a V shape. This will bring light to the centre of the face and appear as a more natural highlight. Apply concealer around your nose, and onto your eye lid to act as a base. Blend out t...

Summer Foundations

Hi everyone! Summer is finally here! This post is just a quick look at some great summer foundations. I went away camping for a weekend and got nice and tan so I can finally switch to my darker shades.  Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium . If you are looking for a sheer coverage tinted moisturizer, this is the product for you. It has a heavier texture which can be uncomfortable on a humid day, but on a cloudy day this is a great base. It can be worn alone or under foundation. It actually has a really nice semi-matte finish when set with a setting powder, or a dewy finish if worn by itself.  Vichy Norma Teint Anti-Blemish Foundation in Sand . This foundation is perfect for acne prone skin. It is almost like a serum, very liquid like, but it has great coverage and lasting power. I don't suffer from acne or a lot of pimples, but of I do have a bit of a break out this foundation doesn't irritate it further and keeps it from spreading.  ...

Fashion Friday: Going Camping (Wardrobe)

Hello everyone! Next weekend my friends and I are going camping so I thought   would do a little two part series on camping. If you are like me, an indoors person, camping can seem very daunting, but I think it is important to keep an open mind. So I must practice what I preach and enjoy this camping trip and the beach. Please keep in mind that I am indeed bringing other non-beauty and fashion related things.  Long Sleeved Shirts. You never know what the weather is going to be like (especially in Canada) so long sleeved shirts are a must. They are perfect for the nights when it gets cold, or if it is raining you can wear them during the day. The two that I am bringing are super soft and work well with layers underneath. I also think there is nothing cuter than a vest with a long sleeved shirt underneath.  T-Shirts, Plaid Shirts, and Track Pants. Basically comfy clothes. Stuff that you can throw over your bathing suit or wear at night around the camp fire. Of ...
