Throwback: CHRISTINA MILIAN



Where has this girl been hiding?

The last I heard of Christina Milian, she had either married or gotten engaged to r&b singer "the dream".

Even though her vocal ability lacks, she makes up for it in her appearance. I love her honey blonde hair colour and make-up.

Make-Up Review: MEGA PLUMP GLOSS



During a trip to Wal-Mart (canadian version of Walgreens), I stumbled on this product.

It's Wet N' Wild's MegaPlump Lip Gloss.

Now, I was skeptical at first but bought it anyway. If it didn't work I'd just use it for the colour. But to my surprise... it works quite well!

It smells like cinnamon and 5 minutes after you put it on, you can feel it working. It plumps your lips a little bit for a natural effect. Makes them shiny, and it's not even sticky! Best of all it was only $3.67 Canadian Dollars... it's obviously even cheaper in the U.S.

I got a light baby pink colour called Hel-pink-i.. weird name but I love the tint/colour/shine.


This is actually one of my favourite lip glosses! I can't stop looking in the mirror right now...

Make-Up Splurge!

I LOVE THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

Recently I purchased a few items from Sephora and here they are!

Click on the links if you want to check out the items on Sephora's website.


*These are products are my new favourites because of:

1) quality 2) price and 3) appearance





This set contains everything I need to create natural looks for everyday, evening, clubbing, shopping... basically anything. The snow bunny bronzer gives my cheeks a subtle shimmer + colour which I absolutely LOVE. The packaging is so glamorous.


This is my favourite make-up purchase of the whole year.




TOO FACED Mocha Mi Amore Blush +
Papa Don't Preach Blush



I've gotten so many compliments after wearing these blushes. They both give a nice glow to my cheeks. Mocha Mi Amore is for more of a natural bronzy glow and Papa Don't Preach gives cheeks a beautiful peach shimmer.




SMASHBOX WISH For The Stars


This limited edition set comes with a mini mascara, lip-gloss, and mini "fushion soft lights" which I use for eye shadow and bronzer. The value for this set is amazing since Smashbox is a very reputable cosmetic brand, hence why most of their products are expensive!



CONCLUSION

I am such a make-up fanatic. I usually shop at Sephora every month AT LEAST. However, lately I've been trying to be more cautious when it comes to spending.

These products are worth every dollar.

By the way, if I purchase something at Sephora but don't use it after a few weeks...or even months, I'll exchange it for something else. I like buying cosmetics that I can use every day.

I make practical purchases :)
