you think i'm pretty without any makeup on.


When it comes to makeup, I am like a kid in a candy store. It doesn't matter where I am - drugstore, Sephora, MAC - suddenly, my impulse control vanishes. I love trying out new makeup products, colours, brands....I just can't get enough! I'm sure there are quite a few people out there who relate to this problem! I recently added a few new things to my makeup collection.

Latest Additions:
 - Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Styling Creme
- L'Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation in Creamy Natural 
- Rimmel Cream Shadow in Wicked Sweet
- Revlon Lipstick in Gentlemen Prefer Pink
- Joe Fresh Lipstick in Brick
- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten

 Swatches:

Left to Right: 
Revlon Balm Stain (Smitten), Joe Lipstick (Brick), Revlon Lipstick (Gentlemen Prefer Pink), Rimmel Cream Shadow (Wicked Sweet), L'Oreal Paris Souffle Foundation (Creamy Natural). 

Out of these new purchases, the standouts for me have to be Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain and Joe Fresh's Matte Lipstick. I have been impatiently waiting for Revlon's Balm Stain to hit drugstores in Canada and it finally has! Well worth the wait! The texture is smooth and creamy, and adds rich colour that lasts! It is a fantastic product! As for the Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick in Brick, I simply adore the colour! This brownish red shade is dramatic and perfect for creating a fall makeup look! 

Have you been makeup shopping lately?

Editing Note: Since Milani chose to contribute to a campaign that involved the harassment and bullying of a domestic violence survivor, I no longer support the brand and do not recommend their products. Spend your money wisely and look elsewhere.

  27. i am happy with true-blue red lip stains and nail polishes..... and some shimmer for my eyes. guess i am boring!

    i will admit, i used to do some crazy cleopatra meets bladerunner eye make up in college, which, ironically, january jones rocked at the emmy's.... guess i am just a trend setter.

  35. girl...you read my mind!
    I used to not really be in to makeup....in the sense that I always have my go to products and don't usually go out of the box.
    But I definitely had been drawn to the bittin lip stain from commercials...AND have been looking for a matte lipstick! I wish there was a way to see how these looked on the lips at the drugstore..but will have to take your word for it :)
