Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation - $42

This has got to be my all time favourite foundation. It is full coverage af and the variet of shades makes it great for people of all skin tones. The formula is quite creamy and applies really smoothly. I've heard such positive reviews about this all over Youtube but never caved in to buy it until I saw someone wearing it. I saw this foundation on one of my friends and I was in complete awe. Never have I seen skin so smooth and airbrushed. Right when she told me it was the Kat Von D foundation, I ran straight to Sephora and picked one up.

This highley talked about product is a 24 hour lasting foundation that looks fresh through heat and humidity. I find it to be a natural looking foundation and can be built to a full coverage application. I have combination to oily skin and my skin tends to look like a hot mess after just a few hours. I find that with this foundation, my skin looks mattefied and does not move around. This foundation has no flashback and has not broken me out.



I've actually never tried a powder foundation before this one, mainly because I thought it would look patchy on my skin, but I'm in love with this. This foundation has 24 hour wear and leaves you with a matte face. The powder itself feels very velvety and applies on the skin very smoothly. I use this powder on days where I am in a rush or if I don't want to wear a lot of foundation. I love how this powder foundation makes my skin look so airbrushed.




If you are looking for a foundation that will last you all night, then this is the foundation for you. It is full coverage with a matte finish that will leave your skin looking perfect and oily free. This was the first time I tried out an Urban Decay foundation and I actually really like it. It is a nice creamy formula that applies very smoothly onto the skin. I like to pair this with my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray.



Thanks for reading! In the comments, let me know what your holy grail foundation is for the summer time!

There are many uses for argan oil. I personally love using argan oil as a light moisturizer on my face and also as a hyrdating hair treatment. I personally do not like using oils on my face as I feel it is too heavy, but with argan oil, it honestly feels like silk on my skin. This oil derived from the Moroccan plant, is an effecicent way to help keep wrinkles calm. It has a high amount of Vitamin E and fatty acids which absorb into the skin and gives it a natural boost. I would recommend using this oil as a moitruizer if you have dry to combination skin. This oil is commonly reffered to as liquid gold as it is packed with all the good stuff. 

October is one of my favourite months of the year. The fall spirit is very active this month and I just enjoy all the spooky-related Halloween things that appear at this time of the year. I've rounded up a ton of my favourite items that I've tried, tested and loved! Even though it is now November, I still feel the fall vibe really strong. Below are my cult favourites, but I would like to know your monthly favourites down in the comment section!


This month I've decided to cave in and purchase the Champagne Pop Highlighter by BECCA Cosmetics. This best selling highlighter was created by Jaclyn Hill. Becca makes amazing highlighters that aren't too glittery but very pigmented. I have trouble finding a highlighter because my skin is medium-tan and I felt that this highlighter was going to look odd on me. I previously used to use the Global Glow highlighter by MAC and I found it to be too gold for my liking. I was start struck when I swatched this highlighter on at Sephora. It's one of those products that you should buy in person rather than online. I love using this highlighter on the daily and I receive many compliments on it. This highlighter would look amazing on every skin tone. The formula is quite creamy and a little goes a long way. I personally find that using my fingers gives me the best application. This is going to be a staple in my makeup regimen for a long time!

I just recently got the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette and I can't stop gushing over it! I've been wanting a neutral palette that I could wear on an everyday basis and I felt like this was the perfect one. This is palette is the second of the Chocolate Bar series from Too Faced. The reason that I was drawn to this palette instead of the original one is because of the Blueberry Swirl shade. It's the perfect blue and surprisingly fits right into the colour scheme of the palette. I like to wear a matte orange-brown shadow on the eye and then a pop of this blue on the waterline makes it look more edgy and dramatic. You can create many makeup looks with this palette. You could  wear work and school appropriate looks with the earthy tones. You could also use the dark brown or black to create a smokey eye look. The pigmentation is great and the formula is creamy which makes the shadow easy to blend. The only thing I don't like about the palette is the shade "Pink Sugar". The colour looks amazing in the palette but when you apply it, it comes of as a sheer layer of pink glitter. The glitter is not pigmented enough which makes it hard to apply. The rest of the colours however are very pigmented and easy to work with. The final thing I want to say about this product is that it smells AMAZING! The palette is formulated with cocoa powder which makes it smell like chocolate~ mhmmmm delicious. It doesn't have an artificial chocolate smell but rather a rich and potent chocolate smell. I can go on and on about this palette but I believe I've covered everything I wanted to say. Overall, I would like to say that I am very happy with the outcome of this palette and I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on the original Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette!
