Sunny Side Up!

Today I am sharing my guide to  "Lazy Girls Glam Makeup". I use just one to two eyeshadows and a glitter topper (the glam part). This was my Valentine's Day makeup look: After applying my morning skin care products, I prime my face with my Too Faced Primed & Peachy Cooling Matte Skin Perfecting Primer (discontinued). Then I prime my eyelids and inner corner with my Physician's Formula Matte Eye Primer (discontinued).  My foundation is The Ordinary Colours Coverage Foundation in 2.0N mixed with AOA Studio PawPaw Liquid Illuminator in After Glow, spread with my AOA Studio Beauty Sponge . Then I apply my AOA Studio PawPaw Liquid Concealer in Light Ivory to the centre of my forehead, tip of my nose, inner corners of my eyes, cupids bow and tip of my chin with the AOA Studio E122 brush . Then I blend into the foundation with the same sponge. To cover blemishes and discolouration on my cheeks, I apply my same concealer product, but in Sand applied with the same brush....

Today I am sharing my empty of the Dead Sea Collection Collagen Anti-Aging Day Cream that I purchased at Dollarama to mix with my original Urban Decay Naked Foundation (why it has a tint to it). This was an awesome moisturizing cream on its own accord, but it absolutely saved the Urban Decay foundation (mentioned above) from being decluttered because it looked so dry and crappy on my skin. When my foundation no longer pumped out of the bottle, I added it to the cream in the tub and mixed them together, as I had been doing on my metal palette. I knew because I was planning to mix a cream with my foundation, I did not want to spend a lot of money. However, I did not expect that for $4, it would be so nice!! Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it at a few of the Dollarama stores I frequent here in my city.  They only get so much skin care items as it is, and most of them are masks or cleansers. I do not know of any retailers that normally carry Dead Sea Collection products off...

 In 2022 I decided to go on a No-Buy for all of 2023 for makeup, clothes, jewelry and skincare. For clothing and skincare, it is a replacements only no-buy (RONB) and for makeup and jewelry, it is an absolute no-buy. As we have been planning to get our closets redesigned by California Closets this year, it became clear to me that I have wayyyyyy too many garments of clothing and pieces of jewelry. I already knew I had way too much makeup, but because it took up less space it didn't occur to me to worry about it...until now.  In past declutters, I rashly gave away a lot of clothes and makeup which triggered me to accumulate even more...so this time when I declutter, I will do it slowly and make sure I will not miss what I am decluttering. And at the same time, I decided to not purchase any makeup or jewelry this year and only buy replacements for clothing (because white things...and underwear) and skincare. So far I have done well in January. I have not purchased anything that ...

 Hey there!! Today i want to share with you my favourite products from January!! Okay a couple of them may be a cheat because they are my Holy Grail items and will always be a favourite! Let me first share my skin care faves...which includes my cheat items: Let's start with my two Holy Grail (HG) products: The AOA Skin Green Tea + Vitamin E Cleansing Balm from Shop Miss A and SpaScriptions Glacier Water that I get at Dollarama here in Canada. I have backups of these products so that I can have them for awhile. It's been getting harder to find the Glacier Water, and shipping from Shop Miss A has been terrible to be frank...so I may have to find alternatives, but hopefully not for a good while.  The Ordinary 100% Cold Pressed Rose Hip Oil is not quite an HG product yet, but it is pretty close. I will update you when that happens. I have a Vit. C Serum from AOA Studio that I want to try to compare to it. The price is decent and the shipping from Deciem or Sephora is much better r...
