Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon

Last week, I finally bit the bullet and bought the new Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon (fancy name for eyeliner) that I’ve been seeing bloggers and YouTubers rave about.Marc-Jacobs-Highliner

I don’t know why I didn’t buy it sooner. Each time I visited Sephora, I flocked towards the flashy display of products. I always swatched the bronzy brown eyeliner on the back of my hand, and always left without purchasing.

I was in the mood to buy it, so I went out on my lunch break and bought the colour I’ve been eying.Marc Jacobs eyeliner in rococoa

It’s in my hands now, darlin!

Obsessed: Stila book of palettes

Good morning! I can’t start off my blog post without saying Happy Halloween to you all. :)

I’ve been on the go for many weekends in a row. Between BlissDom, heading home to Newfoundland and next up is a trip to the States tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been very particular about what I pack in my makeup bag.

Each time that I leave to go somewhere, I’ve surprised myself and brought a Stila eyeshadow palette from Stila’s Masterpiece Series of eye and cheek palettes that I got from the PR company a few weeks ago.book-of-palettes-by-stila

I’ve been gravitating towards one palette in particular. Can you take a wild guess as to which one I’ve been using on a regular basis?  Surprise, it’s volume 1 — the minimalist palette with all the great every day neutrals.3-stila-volumes

The bigger pink colours on the palette are blushes. A nice feature to add with the palette don’t you think?

There’s a diverse set of colours suitable to any sort of look to create. And if you’re kind of stumped on what colours to put where, it also comes with a small look-book to recreate a few looks. 

The colours in all three palettes are nicely pigmented. I can see why people buy Stila eye shadows. I remember my “little” neighbors girlfriend back in Newfoundland telling me her love of Stila products when I was home last. back of stila book of palettes

The three volumes are packaged like a set of novels. Kinda cute and different, right?stila-masterpiece-series

Stila’s Masterpiece Series is available at Sephora for $58 CDN (a $152 value)

NYFW designer nail polishes

 

Today I’m unveiling the latest Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Designer Collection as seen at the NYFW Spring/Summer 2014 shows of Prabal Gurung, Rodarte and Tracy Reese.

Take a WILD guess and tell me what collection you think I’d choose ;) Prabal Gurung Polaroid

Not really a hint but more of a “I’m going to tell you anyway”. It’s most definitely the Prabal Gurung in those nice soft neutral shades shown above. Rodarte Polaroid

Then again I do love a good red polish, especially for the tootsies.Tracy Reese Polaroid

I don’t like to too bold, so I’m not the hugest fan of this one, above.
