* NEW * BH Cosmetics Pop Art Lipsticks!


Hey Everyone!

  I recently saw Shaaanxo do a video on these and got super excited, I love a pigmented bright lip colour almost as much as I love my kids! I got 5 of the colours from this line and could not be happier with almost all of them. All of these go on really smooth and aren't patchy at all, the formula of these is done really well. 



The packaging on these lipsticks is HOT PINK and it's amazing, it has a glossy finish so it doesn't show finger prints. I don't think I know of any other lipsticks that have a line in all HOT PINK packaging. 





This is Zoink and I wanted this to be the perfect nude colour for me but unfortunately it made me look like I had concealer all over my lips. They swatch on my hand seemed so peachy and pretty but once it was on it totally washed me out. * SAD FACE *


Pop was one of my favourites of the ones I got, I'm really into these soft coral/oranges recently and headed into Fall I know I won't get much use out of them but I'm loving them. This one is a beautiful creamy almost matte finish, it looks amazing on my lips! 


Pow is a deeper and brighter version of Pop and it's up there on my favourites list. It's a beautiful orange with just a hint of red and surprisingly doesn't make my teeth look overly yellow. 


Bang is the kind of colour you wear when you want everyone to look at your lips, it's the perfect neon matte. Reminds me a lot of Candy Yum Yum but not matte, it has a slight shine to it but it's not overly glossy. 


Last but defiantly not least is Slam which is a beautiful pinky red and I am in love with it. This is almost always my go to colour for life but I really love the balance of pink and red in this one.

TTT (Thursday Treasure or Trash) - L'Oreal Lip Gloss



Hey Everyone!



 Here is a NEW Thursday Treasure or Trash (TTT) for you! I'm really enjoying these new lip products from L'Oreal, their name is so long and confusing thats one thing I don't like. I love that for the most part I can throw any of these into my purse and go. They give a very nice hydrating, glossy, full pigmented lip colour.






 Here are all the colours I own, the shade range on this line is amazing and there truly is something for everyone!


I really love the sleek gold packaging, it reminds me of YSL or something very expensive. The only downside is it shows finger tips like you wouldn't believe!



Here you have all the "arm" swatches (thanks Logan (My Son) for letting me use your arm. The family that blogs together, stays together.

As you can see most of these colours have some real pigment in them and they are all super glossy. I'm a fan!

November Glossy Box

Hey Everyone!

  So I got my November GlossyBox, which the made Christmas themed because we don't get it till December. I loved the paper on the inside, very christmasy, it was so cute! I love the normal classy paper that GlossyBox uses but it's nice to change it up once and a while.



As far as the products go we got a pretty good selection and all from different beauty categories which is nice. I like to try a mix of products and so I like when beauty boxes come with a good selection.


This first product we got is this Curel Hand Cream, which I was super excited for because we had gotten a foot cream a few months back from Curel that I loved. Sure enough I love the hand cream as much. It absorbs really quickly but it leaves my hands feeling very moisturized and my cuticles look amazing.  We got a full sized product which is always nice.


Next product was a shower gel by Vitabath which is Paraben and Sulfate FREE, LOVE that! THis product has a very strong scent and that's the only think I don't love about it. I also think the scent is more manly, it's not floral or sweet, it smells kind of like Swagger men's body wash!


We got a small sized sample of Clear Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner. I don't love these types of samples because my hair is just so picky but I think I'll pass these along to the B/F and he can try it out. And just to clarify these small samples will give you 2 to 3 uses if you have med hair length so not to bad at all.


This next product is one of my favourite out of the whole box. It's a Nicole by OPI Keeping Up With The Kardashian nail colour! My colour was Keeping Up With Santa and I LOVE it! You can never have too many red nail polishes and this one is beautiful. It's a true bright red with a red sheen finish, it's stunning to look at!


Then we got a full sized lip gloss by Maybelline NY, mine was a pretty light peach colour. I don;t like this style of gloss because I don't like applying my gloss from  a hard plastic end and I also found the gloss to be very scented and very sticky. So not a huge fan of it but do like the colour.



Lastly we got another Kryolon product made just for us Glossies! Last box we got a lipstick that was created just for us in the colour Glossy Pink and this time it was a blush. I love Kryolon products as they are a professional brand and make great quality products and then blush does not disappoint. It has great colour payoff but it's so smooth and easy to blend. I've been very it almost every day from the day I got it. Hit one out of the park with this one Glossy Box!




That's it for this box everyone. People have been asking me if I still think Glossy Box is worth it because they upped their prices. I have to say I really do! In Canada you can spend $13 on an average drug store product and in this box for $21 dollars we got a nail polish, blush and lip gloss and 2 other products as well you can;t beat that value!

Lipstick Spotlight - L'Oreal

Hey Everyone!

 So I have had a love over some of the colours from L'Oreal's lipstick lines but have never been able to convince myself to buy one, well today that day has come! I was in the US picking up some packages and I decided to stop by Walgreen's seeing as we don't have one in the Vancouver area and they were having a sale buy one get one 50% off so how could I not pick some up.

I got two different formula's the Colour Richie and Infallible and so far I am find that the Infallible is very smooth and has a slight sheen to it. Different from the Colour Richie because it seems to be more dry when I applied them both on my lips and on my arms for the swatches.

Here are the Colours and pictures!
















121 Perennial Pink:






















138 Forever Fuchsia:























145 Fearless Fuchsia:






















479 Coral Seduction:






















And the swatches!
















121, 145, 138, 479





350 British Red (Top) and 410 Volcanic (Bottom)


So overall I do like these lipsticks there's nothing amazing about them and if the colours I thought I'd love (if you have seen the ad for L'Oreal Colour Richie 410 Volcanic, it looks like she is wearing the most amazing orange colour) didn't turn out to be as amazing as I thought they would. Will I use these? Of course, they are easy to apply and photograph very well but I was left wanting more! More colour that is!
