Tokidoki Gelato Balm and E.L.F Hypershine Gloss

I was in the city on Saturday and although my conscious was screaming "NO!!!!!!!!!!!" i went into Sephora anyways. I did really well, restrained myself from spending (being jobless will do that to ya) and only walked out with one item, which well, i didn't even pay for because my boyfriend treated me =)

 I have been lusting after the Tokidoki Gelato Lip Balm Stains for awhile now. Seriously, how cute is the packaging? I picked Donutella, it's a sheer deep pink and smells absolutely delicious. The balm itself is so smooth and the color lasts for quite awhile. I am such a big fan of lip stains/tints, they add such great color for those like me who look silly wearing lipstick. I will for sure be going back to buy the other three shades.

I apologize for the lighting of this swatch, it looks more like a curling iron burn than a lip product haha.

My swatch order is backwards from the picture on the left, oops!

I was in Zellers not to long ago and came across an E.L.F section in the cosmetic department. I have never seen this brand in stores here, all the racks were empty except for a lip gloss set. For $2.50, i figured why the heck not. 

The set came with three colors, none of which had a name. All three have a very lovely smell and great shine. The formula is not sticky, which is a huge bonus. There is nothing worse than when a lipgloss is super sticky and your hair gets in it, then your hair is gooey. So annoying.

All the colors look really great on, they added a really soft tint and went really great with my skin color.

For those of you that have Facebook, i have decided to do a jewelry giveaway as soon as i reach 100 people! If you haven`t already, please go like my page and tell your friends!

Hard Candy: Eye Def & Baked Blush

I can't stress enough about how much i love this brand. All of the products i have tried are such great quality. They also do not test on animals, which is another great reason to be in love with their products.

I have been using a Hard Candy Baked Blusher for quite awhile now and i really love it. The color i am showing is called Living Doll, the formula is very light and easy to apply. It's a light pink color with flecks of gold. It is quite sheer so you can use it as a highlighter but it's also very easy to build into a darker shade. This shade goes perfect with my pale skin, it adds a really nice healthy glow to my skin.

Eye Def is a glitter cream eyeshadow. I believe there are seven or more different colors, i picked up Algae. The colors are very vivid and the glitter really lasts all day. Removal is also a breeze, soap and water take the product right off. I have been searching for a great glitter shadow that doesn't crease and go yucky instantly and this is it! I am for sure going to pick up some more colors, these really are great.

Does anyone else love Hard Candy? What are your favorite products?

My sister.

I am taking a break from my usual posts to dedicate one to my beautiful sister whom i love very much.

My sister is the blonde, the other two are her beautiful friends/roomates!

It seems cliche to say that your sibling is your best friend, but it really is true in my case. If i could hangout with her everyday i would. She is out of town for school and has been for the past 3 years. At least it's only an hour and a half drive, so we get to see each other at least once a month. She is almost done this year which means she moves back home in April. I am overly excited!!!

This girl has gone through so much but always has the biggest smile on her face no matter what. It's always so refreshing being around someone so positive. I have always looked up to her, even as an older sister. She is the type of person i strive to be everyday. I wish everyone could be as caring and beautiful inside and out, the world would be a better place, that's for sure!

First attempt at fake nails.

My sister Alyssa came home for the weekend and as usual she wanted her nails done. I had just relieved my order of fake nails in the mail that same day so we decided to try them out. I have never used/painted fake nails before so it was super weird at first. You have so much more control with your designs though, which is awesome. Painting with my left hand is quite a task and it usually looks like a toddler did the job.

I did not take the amount of time i would have liked on these as my sister was heading out to meet friends that night and wanted them on before she left. I was surprised at how well these fit onto her nails though. There is nothing worse than a little awkward gap. Gluing them on was pretty easy, minus the two times the nail flipped around and got stuck onto my finger. There was a lot of screaming involved ripping them off my skin. I didn't know nail glue dried that fast, i had only touched the wet glue for maybe a second!

I have seen quite a few people selling decorated fake nails on Etsy. Are a lot of people interested in that sort of thing?  Would you ever purchase and wear them?

I have been collecting quite a few goodies this past week for a little April giveaway! I am really excited to do my first one, i love giveaways because everyone has a chance to win products that you may not be able to find in your own country. Plus i really love meeting new people =)

A well needed LUSH evening.

I always love Christina Marie's posts about her LUSH experiences so i thought i would do one of my own!

I have really sore muscles right now so i thought a bath would be a perfect way to relax and soothe my poor body. I have a box full of LUSH goodies so i closed my eyes and picked a random bath bomb to use.

I think the one i picked is called Think Pink. I could be wrong, i had to Google the name as i have no clue what it's called. Please correct me if i am wrong!
The bomb itself smelled delicious. It had a candy and flowery smell, it reminded me of cotton candy and strawberries. I wish i could have captured the scent and shared it with everyone.

When i placed the bomb into the tub it instantly turned the water a lovely pink color. There were a lot of chunks floating around which at first i thought were undissolved bath bomb pieces but after a closer look i realized it was multi colored heart confetti! I thought that was a super cute touch, i love the little surprises LUSH has in their products.

One of our cats Friday can't resist water so she was also apart of it all!

Overall this bath bomb was a really fun experience. I loved the little hearts, the color of the water and the initial smell. The only complaint i have is that as soon as all the pieces were dissolved, i did not smell anything afterwards. This is always a disappointment for me as I love products that have a strong smell that lingers and stays on your skin well after you are done. That did not happen here. My skin did feel pretty soft afterward though!
 

After the bath i decided to use another LUSH product i have not tried. They are called Token to the Forest God. They are little tablets that you put in hot water, drape a towel over your head and then let the steam surround your face. I am very exhausted so i thought this would be a perfect time to use it.
LUSH claims this product is supposed to make your skin feel refreshed and hydrated.
The product had a really unique smell, it reminded me of a forest and citrus. When i towel dried my face afterward, i touched my skin and it did feel hydrated. It also could have just been the steam but i think it did add a little extra.
On the LUSH website they state that you can put the leftover water in a spray bottle and leave it in your fridge and use it as a spritz/toner for up to two days. I didn't have a bottle to try this which i really regret!
