What is it about those little items near the Sephora cash register that always seem to catch my eye? Mini versions of mascaras, tiny perfume bottles, and travel sized lipsticks line the queue....and my eyes have a tendency to wander while I wait. That is how the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Kit was added to my shopping basket. Though my only previous experience with the brand was lackluster (check out that review here) there is someone that I follow on Instagram who is obsessed with the Pillow Talk line. Essentially, temptation took over reason. Story of my life! Curious about this high end lip duo? Here is everything you need to know about the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Kit, which features the much praised lipstick and lip liner.

first impressions: rimmel wonder volume thrill seeker mascara
Some mascaras are better than others. When it comes to Rimmel, a few of their mascaras have been stellar while others have only been so-so. The Wonder Volume Thrill Seeker Mascara was intriguing because of the claim on the packaging that it has a "creamy whipped formula." I was curious to find out how it performed and whether or not it met all of the other brand claims. Ready to learn more about this affordable product? Here is a first impressions review of this drugstore mascara from Rimmel.

life lately (wok with yan and shopping trip mini haul)
Summer is winding down and it seems life is determined to cram as much activity as possible into the last remaining weeks. Events, appointments, get togethers, and on and on the list goes. Lately, my schedule has been a little busier than I tend to prefer...but some of that has been for some exciting reasons. Like meeting a childhood idol and doing a bit of shopping across the border! Ready to find out more? Here is a little life update post with some highlights from a few recent days out.

review: dip, shape, go! longwear brow pomade (nyx)
When it comes to brow products, there are some that work better than others. Most days, I am reaching for the Essence Eyebrow Designer Brow Pencil, but when I have a noteworthy event to attend, it is the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil. (I love the latter, but my wallet sure doesn't, so it is not something that I use for at home makeup looks.) Recently, the Dip, Shape, Go! Longwear Brow Pomade from NYX caught my attention. Since I normally use pencils or powder products on my brows, it was a little exciting to put something different to the test. Ready to find out how this product performs? And whether it has been added to my list of brow product loves? Here is everything you need to know about this drugstore item...

welcome peace and the crackling sound of leaves.
Finally! September is here. Though the official first day of fall is on September 22nd, in my mind, this is the start of the best time of year. The "ber" months (September, October, November, and December) are true highlights for me. In September and October, there is sweater weather, pumpkin spice, Halloween movies, candy corn, and spooky decorations. In November and December, there is snow, Christmas music on the radio, and all of the festivities. Ahh....there is so much to enjoy and so much on the horizon. It feels good to say that September is here. In honour of this new month, here is a little seasonal inspiration.
