M.A.C Lip Pencil "Soar": I've never been the biggest user of lip pencils but when I saw this one at the counter, I thought it would go really well with the majority of my lipsticks and decided to pick it up. It's the perfect mauvy-nude that goes with everything, just adding a little more plumpness to your lips.
M.A.C Lipstick "Twig": I've been eyeing this satin finish lipstick for a while now and finally decided to put it in my basket. It's perfect for everyday and believe it or not, but some of my lipsticks have been running out and it was the perfect time to justify a new one ;)
Lancome Lipgloss in "403": This is a really pretty sheer, baby pink lipgloss that screams summer. You can definitely layer it to create a barbie pink look but I like wearing this when I'm not doing anything outrageous with my makeup and just want a nice shine.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation "Ecru": I've been looking for a new foundation that gives medium to full coverage without being super heavy on my skin. I've finally found it in this product. I've only been using it for about a week, but I've really enjoyed it so far. The coverage is good because you can layer it nicely but I don't feel it on my skin throughout the day, especially at work, under harsh store lighting.
Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer: This is a repurchase that I got on a whim but I'm so happy I did. I've been using the L'oreal primer and while I like it, I have yet to find anything that works as well as this Hourglass one.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer "Custard": Again, this is another repurchase and after not using it for quite some time, I thought I would pick up a new one. It's even more perfect then I remember and it works wonders for my dark circles and blemishes.

I've accumulated a few pieces from the drugstore recently and I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to share them with you. I have this "slightly" bad habit when I'm not feeling my best, I'll treat myself to a little "pick me up" shopping trip. Please tell me I'm not the only one? Anyway, here are a few bits and bops I've collected over the past few weeks. Also, I've decided to give a slight review of the ones I've had the chance to test out. I mean I wouldn't want you to read this for nothing ;). 
Feel Unique:
I don't order much from the website but I've recently discovered that a few of the European products sold on here are less expensive then if I would buy it at a Canadian drugstore. So I will keep that in mind the next time my Bourjois products are running low. Any who, that has nothing to do with what I actually ordered. I decided to pick up a few blogger products. I've been interested in checking some out, mostly because I have no problem supporting them but also because I'm curious to see if they're any good.

For starters, I placed the Zoella Beauty's Wonder Hand Moisturizing Hand Cream and the Blissful Missful Solid Fragrance into my basket. The other item I bought is Fleur De Force's Lipgloss in "Starry Starry Night". The hand cream is very nice and sinks into your skin really quickly so your hands don't get that greasy feeling. It does have a fragrance to it but it isn't overpowering. Her solid fragrance actually smells exactly like the hand cream. I've only used it once so far but it actually seems to last a pretty long time. I put it on in the early afternoon and I could still smell it on my wrist in the later evening. I think I'm really going to enjoy it:) Unfortunately, I have yet to try the lipgloss yet, but it is quite a pinkish berry tone. It was only when I received it, did I realize it's very similar to the lipstick I picked up (which you'll read about in a few seconds). We'll have to see how it holds up, I'll keep you posted;)
Drugstore:
As much as I would love to, I don't tend to have many shopping trips to the drugstore in order to pick up some new makeup bits. I tend to peruse the makeup isles at the same time as when I have a list of other items I need to go get. 
The firs thing I have to show you is a lipstick from Rimmel. What a shock. I opted for the one in the Kate Moss range Number 31. It's surprisingly not one I already have. The shade is a dark fuchsia pink colour, something that isn't exactly right up my alley, but I'm willing to give it a try. I'm still not 100% certain about the colour, but the consistency doesn't disappoint. 
Next, I have the Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner in "Black". It's the first time I try this one and I was a little nervous because liquid liner tends to be a hit or miss for me. They either smudge right off and give me panda eyes because of my oily eyelids or I end up not liking the brush applicator. I've worn it already (on several occasions) and I'm very impressed. It has stayed on my eyelids ALL day without smudging and the pen allows for a very smooth, thin line.
I also picked up a new mascara. That day, I opted to try a new one, Revlon's Bold Lacquer Mascara. It's suppose to be a lengthening and volumizing mascara, so it's right up my alley. I have yet to try it since I'm still using my trusty Maybelline but I will let you know how I get on with it when I take it out of its package.  
The last product is a repurchase of the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer "Very Fair/Light". I've actually talked plenty about this one, so I won't bore you, but it's a great under-eye concealer that really brightens up the under eye area and isn't heavy on the skin. 


I hope you've enjoyed this haul and review. I quite liked writing it, so if it's something you enjoyed reading please let me know.

I've made some fun beauty purchases lately and so I thought I would share them with you. I always get excited when buying makeup. It's like a new toy you can play around with and I love figuring out how I can create new looks with them.

I'm not the best with face masks. It's the one part of my face routine I just can't seem to do on a frequent basis. It's been a few weeks where I've noticed that I'm not too happy with how my face looks in the morning. Even after I wash and moisturize it, it still looks dull and tired.
So while watching an April Favourites on YouTube, I stumbled upon Zoe's video and was instantly drawn to a face mask she was talking about. Now normally, I usually just watch the videos and while the products look interesting, I'm not one to go out and buy them straight away. However, this one hit me. It sounded really interesting and I was curious to see if I would enjoy it.
The product I'm taking about is The Body Shop's Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask.


The mask claims to "smooth, refresh and replenish" and honestly that's exactly what my skin problems were. I felt like it was lacking life and while I was keeping it clean, it didn't feel or look fresh.
Well I've used the product a few times now and I can definitely see the difference when I do. I wake up in the morning and I don't feel like my face is angry at me anymore. It's so much more relaxed. I had found my skin looking very tight, like it was stressed. And while yes, we all have stresses in our lives, it wasn't exactly been a serious problem in mine at the moment. My skin is also a lot smother when I wake up and doesn't feel as rough. I haven't used it twice in a row because it still is a pretty even formulation, but I imagine that if you have very dry skin (mine is oily/combination), you could get away with that.


In all, I'm very impressed with the mask. I didn't expect to see results right away and I'm only praying that I keep seeing results as I continue to use it.
