katseye concert review and makeup look

When tickets went on sale for the Beautiful Chaos tour, it was stressful. The presales sold out instantly and resale tickets were being posted for over a thousand dollars each. KATSEYE has quickly become one of my favourite groups and I wanted desperately to see them on their first tour. Thankfully, when the general sale took place, one ticket in the balcony was available by the time I reached the front of the virtual queue. I bought it without hesitation. The KATSEYE concert is one that I have been looking forward to for months and months. I was literally counting down the days, all too eager to see this fantastic band perform live. On that note...this post is dedicated to some concert highlights, a mini review, and KATSEYE inspired makeup.

review: cosmic 2.0 (kylie jenner eau de parfum)

There is something special about perfume. The right scent can make the world feel a little more manageable - and can deliver an added boost of confidence. There are all sorts of perfumes, body mists, room sprays, and other wonderful scents in my home. The latest addition comes from Kylie Jenner. Cosmic 2.0 (the sequel to the original Cosmic perfume from Kylie Jenner) is a recent birthday gift from my parents. Find out more about Cosmic 2.0 and how it compares to the original release.

random drugstore makeup haul (nyx, maybelline, and l'oreal)

While out and about looking for Christmas gifts (my intention is to have all of the holiday shopping done by December 1st, so there is time to decorate, watch movies, and spend time with loved ones) an unexpected extra was purchased. A random assortment of drugstore makeup items were tossed into a clear pouch and marked down to $9 CDN at Winners. There appeared to be a lot of products well suited to my makeup preferences. At such a low price, it was a nice way to spoil myself without feeling too guilty about it. Ready to take a look at what was included? Here is a random drugstore makeup haul. 

my seasonal reading list (november and december)

It is fun to choose seasonal books from my bookshelf. I like browsing the stacks of books that I have and deciding which ones will be part of my holiday celebration. Some of the books in this seasonal reading list are thrifted, some are re-reads, and some are new. I wanted a mixture of familiarity and fresh stories to keep things interesting. Here is a closer look at my book list...

2 looks 1 palette: hershey's milk chocolate eyeshadow palette

As far as I am concerned, chocolate is an essential. I have always had a sweet tooth, but chocolate is my main weakness. When my husband and I visited Niagara Falls last month, we walked around, looked at the amazing views, and visited the Hershey's Chocolate World store. There are all sorts of wonderful shops and restaurants in Niagara Falls, but it is the cookie sandwich at the Hershey's store that thrills me most. In addition to checking out the bakery section, we looked at the different merchandise available. There were t-shirts, pillows, shorts, and giant bars of chocolate. However, it was the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette that was most irresistible. Keep reading for a 2 looks 1 palette post and a mini review of this palette.

more main street melts candle co. fragrance oils

After my last Walt Disney World vacation, it was hard to settle back into real life. Especially knowing it was not a place that I could return for several years. (Partly because Disney is expensive, but mostly because of the political situation over there.) So, it was Main Street Melts Candle Co. that I turned to. Their products made it possible to bring a little bit of Disney magic to my home. The first time around, there were ten fragrance oils added to my Etsy cart. All have been used regularly since that time, but the Spaceship Earth inspired blend was easily the most loved. My bottle reached the halfway point and I decided to purchase a couple of backup bottles. And while I was browsing, I decided to purchase a few Christmas gifts for loved ones. And then I decided to try a few other essential oil blends. Truth be told, my shopping cart got a little out of hand, but I am now stocked up for the foreseeable future. On that note...this is part one of my latest main Street Melts Candle Co. order. The second half will be posted at some point, but for now, it is time to find out more about these theme park inspired scents.
