Too Faced Natural Matte Eyeshadow Palette*

Yesterday it really hit me: fall is here!  I was walking between shops downtown and I was chilly.  Suddenly Aritzia's fall collection looked that much more appealing.  With the shift from shorts to scarves also comes changes to my make-up line up.  I've been (slowly) swapping bright red-oranges for deeper berry shades, and moving from shimmery shadows towards matte.  Today I am sharing with you one of my fall favourites: Too Faced's Natural Matte Neutral Eyeshadow Collection*!

Sheet Masks | The Face Shop*

The lovely people at The Face Shop have teamed up with the CBB (check out our new website!) so we can share our thoughts on this fun brand.  I've shopped at The Face Shop a few times before, and am familiar with their "classic" mask but have not tried their VITA line.  I was pretty thrilled to come home to a surprise package of face masks, and am excited to be sharing my thoughts on their products with you.

Perfect for the Long Weekend | Apothic Wine*

I love that Apothic gets every little detail right.

Where did the summer go?  It seems like just yesterday that I was eyeing my turquoise nail polishes and shimmering bronzers, my bikini and my sun dresses.  This time next week kids will be back in school, and summer will all but be over.  Thankfully, Canadians have Labour Day weekend to celebrate the end of summer by hosting a family BBQ.  Yes, this means burgers and hot dogs, but for those of us of age it also means wine, cocktails, and more!

My July IPSY Bag (+ swapping horror story)

I always love when my IPSY bag arrives easy month, but this summer I have been a bit slow to post since I am living away from home!  This month was a bit disappointing for me, but that was easily resolved by my first ever swap!

Colour Pop | Eyeshadow Haul!

Recently I made a (kind of) big Colour Pop order.  As mentioned, I divided my post into three parts. You can read about my blushes and highlighters review here featuring Birthday Suit, Butterfly Beach and Rain.  So far I am in love with the spongey texture of the products.  They swatch well, last all day, and are so affordable ($5 USD each!) that they are the perfect solution to buying brighter bold shadows you may not wear often.  The only downside?  Shipping to Canada costs an arm and a leg!

Colour Pop | Birthday Suit, Rain and Butterfly Beach

Last month I made my first Colour Pop order!  I was initially interested in the Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks but by the time I got there they were all sold out!  I'm glad I passed up on those, because I am thrilled with what I ordered instead.  Colour Pop has free shipping on orders of $30 or more in the U.S., but for us Canadians... well shipping is basically an arm and a leg.  On the bright side, cheek products are $8, eyeshadows are $5, and lippies are also $5 making the actual products super affordable.  To make this more manageable for me to write, and for you to read, I am going to divide my order into three posts: cheeks, eyes, and lip.  Today I will be sharing about my cheek products: Birthday Suit and Rain blushes and Butterfly Beach highlighter.

Essence Paint Nite!*

Last week I had the utter joy of attending another Essence event.  This time the theme was Paint Nite!  I loved getting to learn about their Fall/Winter launches in North America, and of course getting to paint!  The worst part about the event though was having just gotten back from Europe and seeing how many amazing different products they have there and then getting back to Canada and only having access to a fraction of them.  I love that the gel nail polishes are making their way across the pond...but about those matte lipglosses!
