Beauty haul

I received an order from Sleek MakeUP yesterday, and I'm so happy about it, they turned out to be even better than I expected. I also purchased some products from Turku.

I've read many positive reviews on this tinted lip conditioner  so I had to try it.
942 Powder pink. Smells like candy vanilla and slides on like butter. Perfect for a smokey eye look!


This is definitely my new lip gloss favourite! I haven't tried such a smooth,non-sticky lip gloss in a while.
I really like brush applicators, and this had it.

This came as a free gift
I love tinted lip balms because sometimes my lips get really dry. Loved the berry taste and the fact that it's not sticky

Many people have been talking about this so I had to try. It's a good option for a regular foundation during the summer. It has a medium coverage and makes the skin "glow".The only minus was that after a long warm day my skin started getting really oily.

Clarins, a favourite brand of mine for many years. The hydra matte lotion and Gentle  foaming cleanser are perfect for oily combination skin. The Cleanser goes a super long way, because you need to apply just a tiny amount.

Purple eyeshadow and a new trench

It's a beautiful spring day in Toronto, and I finally got my trench in the mail today! Wuhuu! It's by Laundry by Shelli segal, and it just what I wanted it to be.
The only mirror in the apartment :) Scarf from HM
As I was wearing a very bright scarf today, I felt that my make up has to "match". So I did a purple-bronze look:
Revlon Photoready primer is a good primer for combination skin, it's not too greasy and feels very soft and nice. Clinique anti-blemish foundation is one of my favourite foundations as it has a high coverage and it doesn't give me any break-outs!

Since I first tried Sleek make up eye shadows, I've been hooked! They have a lot of pigmentation, so you don't have to apply tons of it. The palettes are also very cheap, even if the quality is good, only about 8-9 euros if i remember correctly.

Au Nature I divine palette - For this look I used the white one on the lid,

Original I Divine palette- The bronze one for the crease, and the violet on the base of my lashes.

If you love "thick" looking lashes, you will like the L'Oreal's voluminous carbon black mascara. Maybelline's master precise is ideal for doing narrow lines. It's not my favourite, because I prefer thicker appliers,but it's ok.

The Body Shop bronzer is not the cheapest one, I think I paid about $19 but I like Bodu Shop products and the fact that it has a lot of colour, so you don't need to apply that much. The Joe blusher is very light, but gives a nice glow.
My eyebrows are very light and narrow, so a good eyebrow pencil is a must!
