The Starting Over Tag

Hello friends! I am now back from Toronto, so I finally am getting around to posting the blog posts I have been been diligently writing while I was on the plane (I totally was blogging on my phone at around midnight on my flight there). So I was tagged awhile back by the lovely Iqra over at The Blushing Giraffe to do the Starting Over Tag. The essential point of this tag is to discuss what products you would purchase again if you lost all your makeup! So in this post you will see a lot of old favorites as well as some newer products that have made the cut!

GRWM 9: Summertime Glow

Hello friends! Today I am sharing with you a relatively quick and easy Get Ready With Me Video, featuring a rather glowly face. The main inspiration out of this look today was the fact that I actually ran to Walmart to grab the Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki (the highlighter everyone loves) because I wasn't willing to fork out the $38 for Jaclyn Hill's Becca Collab Champagne Pop. I'm also using a lot of drugstore products here (minus the brows and the face primer...and someone help me find a good drugstore face primer please). Unlike the majority of my makeup looks, this one offers light to medium coverage and isn't long wearing. I hope you guys enjoy the video!

Travel Makeup Bag to Canada - Summer 2015 Edition

As the title implies, YES I AM GOING BACK TO MY MOTHERLAND (yes I do consider Canada my motherland). Words cannot describe how pumped I am to have Tim Hortons multiple times a day when I am visiting along with (hopefully) being able to meet up with my lovely friend Vanessa over at Citron and Guavaberry. A lot of these products are products I'm trying to finish up and are products that are trustworthy. On my last trip to Canada, I made the mistake of bringing out products that haven't been truely tested before...and as a result I was an oily mess the majority of the time I was there. However, we learn from our mistakes and move on! I won't be gone for more than a week, but nevertheless I wanted to share with you the products I will be bringing with me onto my trip across the border! If you are interested in seeing what makeup brushes I'm bringing, the brushes in last years Travel Makeup Bag to Canada is basically the same as the ones I'm bringing.
