Happy Easter!



Happy Easter Everyone!

We have a busy weekend planned.

Taking lil shabby for a Easter egg hunt tomorrow at the park, then before bedtime decorate eggs.

Then Sunday the Easter bunny comes! YAY! I'm not sure if were gonna have the hunt inside or outside, we did outside last year and he had a blast so I guess we will see.

How are you celebrating Easter? I hope you all have a happy and safe Easter weekend! Don't eat to much chocolate.

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day how are you going to show your love?

-I plan on giving my lawn some much needed TLC, since all the snow is melted and the ground is dry, I'm gonna rake and maybe cut it.

-We are going to recycle our old tube tv.

-Going shopping at the local thrift store for some clothes for lil shabby, and see what other goodies I come across

-Not letting the car sit in idle for more then 10 seconds when we are parked outside of a store

-I already clean with biodegradable cleaning products (I buy mine from Shopper's Drug Mart)

-I am going to wear mineral makeup today

-Also I'm going for a nice walk today!

Review- Bokeh Face Mineral Makeup

I was contacted by Natalie owner of Bokeh Face asking if I would be interested in reviewing her products.
She sent me two samples and two full size eyeshadows.

These eyeshadows are AWESOME! They are so silky, big pigment payoff!

She has alot of neutrals, and getting more colors in, you can find everything here: Bokeh Face Shop

She sells, foundations, blush, eyeshadows and lippies products and they all are a great price!

Here are the swatches



Swiss Vanilla, Freakin' Kidney



Candy Mountain, Grass



The color's are beautiful, I really like Grass, and I never wear green! Candy Mountain is a light pink, Freakin' Kidney has to be my new favorite pink, Swiss Vanilla is a great neutral color.

So head on over and order some Bokeh Face Mineral Makeup, and for the rest of April if you spend over $20 she will give you a free eyeshadow in Grass, you don't need a promo code or anything.

Review- Rimmel 25 hr Foundation

I am not the biggest fan of this foundation. Epic Fail!

It does not blend that well even using a stipple brush, sponge, and fingers, color match was all wrong it has a yellow base to it and it looks like I had a different color face!

It does stay on the skin but not 25 hours, and who would want their makeup on for that long....

I do not recommend this product and if you have dry patches it will make them more noticeable.

My Rating (Scale 1-5 1-the worst, 5-the best)

Quality- 3.5

Packaging- 4

How long does it stay on- depends on if you use a primer but after 8 hrs it comes off

Would I buy it again- NO!

Price- Under $10 CAN

Overall- Garbage, did not like this!

Where to buy- Drugstore, department store

Basic Makeup Kit for Beginners

A basic makeup kit for beginners is pretty much for those who are just starting out or want to build a kit for freelancing.

So I've compiled a list of the basic's that I feel everybody needs in their makeup kit.

1. Concealer/Corrector: This is one thing that I feel every single person out there can benefit from, it just makes a HUGE difference. Use concealer if your undereye circles aren't too dark, and corrector if they are really severe.

2. Foundation/Tinted Moisurizer: I would recommend a liquid foundation because it goes on beautifully and gives the skin a glowy look which powder just doesnt do. If your skintone is mostly alright (not many blemishes, uneven colouring, etc) go for a light to medium coverage. Otherwise, use a full coverage foundation.

3. Powder: I highly recommend getting a pressed or loose powder which you can use to set your concealer and foundation - this is essential to getting your makeup to stay on. I would personally recommend a pressed powder for beginners because loose powders can be a bit difficult to handle.

4. Eyeshadow: I would say invest in some basic neutrals - blacks, browns, skintone colours, highlight colours... Definitely have a look at some pre-made palettes because you get great value for money and lots of shades in one palette. You will probably find a good neutral palette by most brands! But MUST HAVES are black, dark brown, your skin tone colour and colours a couple of shades darker and lighter than your skintone!

5. Eyeliner: I would say have one basic black or dark brown (try them both out and see which looks better - black is more strong, brown looks subtle) pencil, and one liquid/gel formula as well. Gels are much easier to work with, in my opinion.

6. Mascara: I would recommend a natural mascara for day wear and a more dramatic one for night time. Either in Black or Brown.

7. Blush: Opt for powder... much more workable. For daytime, have a nice soft baby pink/rose pink (the pink can be cool or warm depending on whether you're cool toned or warm toned).

8. Lip stuff: Have one lip pencil which is the exact same colour of your lips. As far as lipsticks and lipglosses go, play around! Get your basic pinks and browns of course, but see if you like something else too.

9. Brushes: If your just starting out I would recommend going with e.l.f's 11 piece brush set. They are super soft and $30 usd.

You don't need to buy the expensive makeup, drugstore makeup is just fine, you don't want to go broke while building your kit.

I hope this helps. Happy Makeup Shopping!
