L'Oreal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator

Hello Everyone!

I recently picked up the L’Oreal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow and Illuminator in Ice from my local drug store after watching a couple of youtubers praise the product. I’m always on the hunt for good quality makeup that’s affordable and so I thought I’d give this a try. I purchased this for around $15 CAD ($12 USD) and you get 0.67 fluid ounces/ 20 ml of product.



 I have to say that I’m quite impressed with this highlighter! I feel like a glowing goddess when I put this stuff on. I think the colour is so pretty and the pigment is amazing! The product can be used as a face primer as well and let me tell you, it gives you the most dewy and glowing looking skin when used under a foundation! It can look a little sparkly if you use too much so just keep that in mind.  


That pigment though!!! 


I do find that the product dries quickly and so blending it out can be difficult if you don’t work fast enough. I find the best way to apply it is with a beauty blender as it can really help soften the line. When I apply the product with my fingers it’s very hard to blend and ends up looking like a straight line of highlighter on my cheek bone which is not a cute look. I find the same thing happens when using a brush. It just spreads the product around my cheek without blending it out nicely so again you’re stuck with a chunk of highlighter on your cheek. You don’t need an expensive beauty blender either. I just use a knockoff one I bought from H&M and it works just the same. 

Have you tried this product yet? If so leave a comment below and tell me what you think about it.

Amazing Makeup Remover Wipes

Hello Everyone!

I've been searching high and low for a wipe that can remove my makeup without irritating my skin and/or stinging my eyes and I've finally found the perfect product! It's the Garnier Clean+ Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes which are designed to remove makeup (including water proof) and calm the skin. I've had these for a little while and have used them multiple times with no stinging/irritation. My roommate has also used them and they haven't irritated her either, and we both have sensitive skin.
I do find that they can feel a little filmy after using them but nothing major and so if I'm super lazy (which I am) I'll use them and go to sleep right away. Usually if I find wipes to be super filmy I'll lightly wash my face after, but I don't have to do that with these bad boys! 



I got them for about $8 (Canadian) and there's 25 towelettes in a package. I know Neutrogena have a ton that are slightly cheaper (by a dollar) but they've always seemed to irritate my eyes. To be honest, I really only use makeup wipes when I've had a late night out and so a pack of 25 for me will last quite a while. If I have an everyday makeup look on I'll only use one, but if I have a full face of makeup (including a dark eyeshadow look) I'll generally use two. 


If any of you give them a try let me know and tell me what you think!

Drugstore Mascara

Hello Everyone!

I've lately been loving the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Original mascara and I wanted to review it for you! I have super long lashes but not very many of them so I'm always looking for mascara that can give me a bit of volume. This mascara not only does that, but also lengthens my lashes a bit further making them look like false lashes! My only issue is that a lot of product comes off in a few swipes and can get clumpy, so to fix this I use either the Voluminous Million Excess or Physicans Formula Organic Wear mascara to remove any clumps and help me get the look I'm going for. Other than that I absolutely love the colour as it really gets your lashes black! I've had this product before an left it in search of something else, only to always return back to it. Sometimes you just have to stick with the classics as they're the best.

Here's a photo of each product mentioned:


The wand of the voluminous original is a straight wand which at first I didn't mind, but now I feel as though I should get something with a curvy wand to help with the curl in my lashes. I don't want to say it's a downfall of the product as I've never tried a curvy wand to see if it helps with curling lashes, however my next purchase will definitely be something with a curvy wand and I'll review that for you all too. 

P.S. If you're not into super black lashes and want something very subtle, the organic wear is definitely something to get! It puts very little product on your lashes to give it a very natural look when used on it's own.
