Arbonne Lipsticks Review

I love Arbonne products! They are just great, highly pigmented, all natural and your usually buying from a friend, putting money in their pocket. They also come in a sleek black container so it can go with you in your clutch on a night out. When at a friend's Arbonne party, I saw Strawberry and decided I NEEDED it. I find a lot of red colours just not right and this hit the nail on the head for me. Like a savy shopper, I waited until Christmas and added it, along with Coral Reef to my wish list. Well, my mom came through in a big way. She is obviously related to me, because she also got me Bordeaux, which I would have never bought myself because it is so risque but I am excited to try it! These lipsticks are amazing, so smooth, hydrating and as long lasting as most. I am not usually a lipstick girl, so for me to make a fuss about some, is a big deal. These are highly recommended.

Bordeaux

Eye makeup with this one requires very light, airy, maybe even shimmery. Do NOT do much to the eyes or cheeks. This is a statement piece for the face. I don't have to tell you the 1 rule. One facial feature (eyes, cheeks, mouth) maximized while the others are minimized. (I use the same rule with clothing, 1 statement piece, the rest simple simple simple)






Strawberry
This one also does not allow for much eye makeup, but you have a little bit more leeway. Don't choose shadows that are another colour, stick with neutrals.










Coral Reef
I get giddy thinking about this one. I did a small (not sure if that is the right word) smokey eye with this one. More like a eyeliner smudgeout. This one gives you the most leeway out of all three, but it still should be the focal point.










I will try to post some examples soon, I just moved to Toronto so I am just settling in!

Review {Chi & Prosys}

Image
My hair is one of my favourite parts about me, thus I invest a lot of time and money into it. When you only wash your hair once a week, you might as well make it worth it. My new favourite shampoo: Prosys Organic Shampoo. I love it because it is a cream, meaning it is more nourishing. My hair doesn't feel like it was stripped of everything it once knew and loved. It lathers a tad but is able to make its way around my head. It smells really good! That is always a bonus. Conditioner/ leave-in/Hair Mask: Chi Nourish Intense It really does leave me hair feeling great, no matter which way I use it. Sometimes when I want my hair curly I will wet my hair, skip shampoo and just conditioner and it is light enough to create nourished but not heavy curls. This also smells good. Not a conventional smell, but more spicy, like most Chi products.

Meal Preparation

Image
I am not trying to claim that I am someone who is super healthy. But I try, that is the main thing, right? You have probably heard about meal prep a number of times. Especially from your crazy healthy friends who are sooo annoying with their preaching. I won't preach. Just tell you another couple reasons why it is so great. SAVES TIME! I got grocery shopping once a week and that is it. I look on Pinterest for the recipes I want to cook, make a list and go! Then I spend my Sunday cooking up lunches, dinners and snacks and am done for the week. DONE. It feels so great to be able to go out and do whatever I want after work and not have to worry about making lunch for the next day. Or when you come home exhausted, dinner is ready and waiting! SAVES MONEY! One shopping trip. Keep within your budget and then you do not have to worry about unexpected trips to the grocery store or have to buy lunches some days because you were too lazy to make food the night before.

Product Review: China Glaze Base & Top Coat

Image
My mother is a saint and sent me these in a care package: China Glaze- Strong Adhesion Base Coat I obviously has heard of base coats before but never really bought into them and usually that layer is reserved for my Witchcraft Nail Hardener. Well I made room for this and am amazed! The  China Glaze- Strong Adhesion Base Coat,  is crazy good. You can feel that is it, like, sticky. But not...ya know? I am also convinced that it takes less coats of polish after. I just used a really light pink last night and got way better coverage then I usually do. China Glaze- No-Chip Top Coat I don't have much to say about this one. The China Glaze No-Chip Top Coat does it's job for sure, but didn't wow me. Check my next post for the top coat I opt for.
