imPRESS Manicure

I was never one of those who enjoyed going to get their nails done, in fact I never did get my nails done. I didn't want the hassle of taking them off or the pain if they broke off! Did I like the look of them? Sure.

Along comes the imPRESS manicure from Broadway Nails (find yours at Walmart if you're in Canada!). These have been around for a while and I was always interested but skeptical until one day I received 2 sets in my Influenster VoxBox. 

I went ahead and tried one and I was delightfully imPRESSed ;) (see what I did there? Haha). They were easy to apply and remove and last about a week or so. Shortly after I did the second set which was so pretty. Then I couldn't stop thinking about them! I'd look at the other styles online and at Walmart, look at pictures on Instagram and try to decide if I wanted more and which I wanted.

So did I buy more? Was I that impressed? Yes!

I picked up this cute peacock feather design set. These normally retail for just short of $9 something but I was pleasantly surprised when it rang up as $7 and change. 
Anyway, on to the photos already!



The packaging is this cute little nail polish looking container.

And how did they look on my nails? 

Love them! 
I definitely recommend these to everyone! They're under $10 bucks, easy to apply and remove, look good, there's lots of styles to choose from and they're great for a party, a night out or just your everyday life! 

Here's a few shots of the other sets I have (which I received into voxbox)


Until next time!

Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Pop

 Hey everyone!
Today I'll be reviewing the Clinique Cheek Pop in the shade Berry Pop (as you can tell from the title!).
 I didn't buy the hype when these cheek pops first came out because it was all about the cute packaging and not the product itself. I swatched the blushes in store a few times and finally decided to bite the bullet and pick one up. I decided to get Berry Pop! 

The design features a cute flower which I think is one of the biggest reasons people pick this up but the real winner is the product itself.


Here it is swatched on my hand and it is a beautiful berry colour. I find myself reaching for this quite a lot since I picked it up. Not only is the colour beautiful and applies well but the colour lasts me all day. I apply it at about 9am and when I'm leaving work at 6pm this blush is still poppin! It lasts and lasts and lasts! 

Clinique describes these as follows "Vibrant yet natural-looking cheek colour that looks virtually powderless. In a silky smooth, stay-true formula with shades for every skin tone. That just-pinched look, simply effortless." 
That is spot on.
As I previously said these do not look powdery at all and look as natural as any blush can look. They are true to what you see in the pan, vibrant as described but not over the top.

All and all it is actually a fab blusher an I'll definitely be picking up more of these and would definitely recommend them to everyone!

Definitely a must have!

-Love & luck!

MAC Pedro Lourenco Lipstick Swatches

Hey everyone!
Tomorrow MAC stores will see the release of the Pedro Lourenco Collection so here are some swatches of two of the four available lipsticks True Red (top right) and Roxo (bottom right). Both of these lipsticks are in the Amplified formula which means they are comfortable and nondrying.


True Red is an orangey red that is said to be the Amplified version of MACs Lady Danger. 
Roxo is a much deeper red said to be the Amplified version of Diva.
If you love the look of Lady Danger or Diva but DONT love that drying matte finish definitely check these guys out.
There's also 2 other lipsticks available (which I didn't purchase) and these retail for $21 CAD.

Let me know if you pick up any thing for the PL collection and what you think in the comments below!

MAC Fluidline Swatches

Hey guys and ghouls!

I've been pretty into brown eyeliners so this week I decided to pick up the MAC Fluidline in Dipdown which is a gorgeous chocolatey brown (pictured below) which can also be used for your brows!


Now I also spotted another brown fluidline which was a metallic and once my peepers spotted that I couldn't stop thinking of it! Had to have it! I totally caved and went to the MAC store, paid for it and never looked back! I didn't even swatch it in store! The colour is RICH GROUND which I tried when I got home and I am LOVING it...as I knew I would! 
Check it out!
 

Like how can you NOT love that colour?!

If you are loving the look of these check out my swatches below! (Try not to fall in love)

I have used the fluidlines in the past and I've always liked them, I disliked how quickly try dried up but I'm going to try to  take better care of them now! I'm so pumped to wear RG tomorrow as it's so gorgeous!

Let me know which fluidlines you own and love! Or which you've had your eye on! They are like Pokemon and I wanna catch 'em all!

New! Annabelle Cosmetics Lipsies

Hey lovelies, today I dropped by the drugstore (as I often do) and I spotted a display for the new (and super cute) Annabelle Cosmetics Lipsies (yes that's the name, did I mention these are super cute?). I swatched one of these cuties on my hand and it provided a sheer wash of colour with a delish fruity scent. As you can see from the picture below these come in 8 different colours/scents/flavours which all sound awesome.

These bad boys go for $4.99 a pop at Shopper Drugmart here in Canada!

I can't decide which one I want to try first!

PumpedUp! For Maybelline!

Hey babies!
It seems as though a new Maybelline mascara is starting to pop up in stores and it is the new Maybelline PumpedUp Colossal mascara! I was lucky to get my hands on it and will be trying it out shortly, not sure if I'll just do a review or if I'll do a first impression video (if I get the nerve and a good time to 
film!). Either way keep an eye out! 

Check out the store display below!


Love & luck.

Maybelline Dare to Go Nude

Hey loves! Looks like the new Dare to Go Nude collection from Maybelline has hit Canadian drugstores! Last week I saw a small display at Rexall and this large one just popped up at my local shoppers drugmart.
I am loving the look of the new Color Tattoos, I would be so all over them but unfortunately on myself they crease :(
Maybelline has bold and fun shades a lot so I think this nude collection will be a nice change!

Let me know if you pick anything up and what you think!                                              


Love & Luck
