Why can't it just be warm here in Canada and have summer start already? Summer always makes me so happy and feeling alive. I just wanted to post some inspo/happiness for yall. I've never been really big into fashion trends and have always felt that you should do your thing and let the world follow.

HOLY HEART EYES BATMAN! BH cosmetics came out with two new era eyeshadow palettes: Eyes on the 70's & Eyes on the 80's. My heart is fluttering and unfortunately my wallet is empty.

70s
80s

After having a really hard week (panic attacks everyday) I was able to go to Walmart and Chapters with the help of my mom (I have very bad anxiety and depression) and got a few things! That Chapters I went to ended up having a small fire and we all had to get evacuated out into the cold. Five fire trucks showed up and everything was fine. We were all able to go back in and I spent a couple more hours looking at books. (From left to right) Bastard out of carolina by Dorothy Allison, The secret life of bees by Sue Monk Kidd, The bell jar by Sylvia Plath.

From Walmart I got some body lotion and some wet n wild makeup (I'll upload that later) and got the Simple Eye Balm. I've heard some pretty good things for it and have been looking for an eye cream for my sensitive eyes. It has vitamin B5, vitamin E, bisabolol, Shea butter, and jojoba oil. It doesn't have any perfume or dyes. It comes out clear and you tap it into your eye area. I think it would be ok to wear under makeup.

Once Upon a Dream [Part 1]

As you all know the movie Maleficent is coming out as well as a Mac line dedicated to the movie and villain. You're probably just as excited as I am until you remember just how pricy Mac cosmetics are. The average for lipsticks are 20$ and up, nails range around the same price, and face makeup around 30-40$ and this is when it's not apart of a limited collection. I've decided to find some wallet friendly makeup that still gives that Maleficent villain vibe which is mostly green, purple and pink.

I really love when people draw on their bottom lashes. I would put down a good eyeshadow base around the eye first then use an eyeliner like Covergirl liquid Line Blast, and then set it with an eyeshadow. Of course you can try liquid eyeliner or even gel.You should of course use a waterproof formula. A bonus is to set around the makeup with translucent powder to absorb any moisture since moisture leads to creasing and wear. If you feel your base is too creamy you can lightly blot it. What's great about this look is that you can go bold and dramatic or blend it and connect the 'lashes' together with eyeliner and pop on some shadow on your lids. Really experiment with it.TRY drawing on the lashes slanted to make them look more natural.

Childhood on our lips.

For two months now I have been searching high and low for Lip smackers. You remember them? The lip balms that come in flavors like banana split or Dr. Pepper, possibly the first ever strawberry flavored tinted lip balm. I had gone to three drugstores, one of them being in the 4th largest mall in Canada, and still no lip smackers. Every time I asked a worker they either looked at me like I was crazy or have the audacity to tell me 'they went out of style'. Today I went to my local Rexall to see if the new spider-man collection from Revlon had been released yet, no dice, and stumbled upon the holy grail. Wedged between Annabelle cosmetics and Bonnebelle cosmetics was a small selection of my beloved Lip smackers. There were party packs (all my fave flavors and a few ones I don't like,) Disney collections, Minnie mouse, cupcakes and fruit tint and pop flavors. I feel to my knees in the isle and looked up at the small amount of racks holding my childhood. The moment was so perfect I almost wept. Unfortunately I didn't have enough money for the party pack (13$) and instead got a single Dr. Pepper for a dollar. It turns out lip smackers are owned by Bonnebelle cosmetics so wherever that brand is sold so will Lip smackers. I think the only places you can get the brands are at Target or Rexall. A wish came true today guys and a little bit of faith restored.

Today when I was watching Fire Walk With Me I remembered I really love the late 80s and early 90s and how they blurred together in the first and last couple years. One thing I really loved in the movie was the makeup and hair.


The eyes are super simple. Laura (top) seems to be wearing a light almost greyish blue eyeshadow or eyeliner and eyeshadow one or two shades darker than her eyelid, it's brought up just to the browbone. The same goes for Donna (bottom) except shes wearing dark brown or black eyeliner. I would say a lengthening mascara was used although the lashes are not dramatic and look natural.

My favorite though is the lips! I would start out by moisturizing lips and then applying a lip liner and blending it in with a finger or brush to make it look more natural and never cakey. I would then apply more lip balm for that slight sheen. I would suggest and long lasting, moisturizing lip liner. I would describe the color they're wearing as fruit punch.

TRY: Nyx slim pencil, Maybelline color sensational lip liner or any of your favorites
