Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (Pink Shimmer & Rose Gold Shimmer)

If you've read my previous post, you probably know that I am kind of obsessed with Stila. On my recent trip to Urban Outfitters I saw they had a whole bunch of makeup stuff on clearance. So, I scored a pretty awesome deal. So proud of myself!

They were originally CAD 26.00 each and were on clearance for 4.99 each. Each bottle contains 14.1 ml product.

The products are packaged like Benefit's Sunbeam and Highbeam, with a nailpolish-like applicator.

Pink Shimmer

When entirely blended out, it leaves a subtle shimmer on the skin and gives a luminous look without looking like a disco ball. 

Rose Gold Shimmer

They can also be mixed with your foundation to get a glowy look.

Stila Holiday Essential Kit

Here's a little special kit from Stila:

It includes three of mini size of Stila's star products:

stay all day waterproof liquid eye liner - intense black (0.25 ml)
stay all day liquid lipstick - beso (1 ml)
eye shadow - kitten (1 g)

I have always wanted to try their liquid eyeliner and kitten eyeshadow. This kit is a perfect opportunity to try out these products.

The eyeliner is amazing! It is really black and stays put all day long. It will not smuge! Not even when I tried really hard to rub it off on my hands when I swatched it.

Kitten is a really gorgeous champagne colour with a lot of shimmer. You can wear it alone and it will open up your eyes and give you that brightened look. It also works as a highlighter for your inner corners of your eyes and your checks.

The texture of the lipstick feels like the matte lipcream from NYX. Personally I am not a fan of this liquid lipstick. Although it is really creamy and highly pigmented, it has a plastic-like scent that I can't stand.

Retails for 24 CAD at Sephora

NOTD (Nail of the Day) - Floral Nail Art

I am still new to the nail art world. I am so obsessed with cute nail designs even thought I still can't even paint my nails perfectly. :P

My beloved/favourite nail artist/youtuber is Cutepolish. http://www.youtube.com/user/cutepolish

Here's my first-try floral nails!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Colour Rush Long Lasting Intense Colour Balm (Review & Swatches)

Recently I caught a new product from Rimmel in the drugstores. In the past year or so, many brands have come out with the chubby type lip products. At the higher end we have Clinique, in the drugstores there are revlon, covergirl, etc. Finally, Rimmel has come out with their own chubby sticks. I believe they have released this product line in the UK a while ago, but I got so excited when I saw them in Canada!

The packaging of this product is really cute, with vibrant colours, which I really love. And the colours on the packaging are quite accurate as the colour of the actual products. These balms are super moisturizing and pigmented. They also last for a long time as claimed by the company. On the days I wore them, I put them on at around 7:30 am and by the time I finish lunch, which is usually around 1 o'clock, I can still see the colour on my lips. In terms of scent, they have a pleasant light vanilla scent. One thing that worth mentioning is that they do stain your lips. So for people who don't like products that stain, you might want to pass these.

They retail for 6.99 CAD at Rexall and 8.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart.

YvesSaintLaurent YSL Beauty Blossom Lipstick Set (Chinese New Year Special)

Yesterday I went on a "walk" at Sephora. As usual, at the end of my "walk" I had to check out the little bins at the cashier. A little special box caught my eyes!

It contains 3 YSL lipsticks from their different lines: Volupte Sheer Candy in 04 Succulent Pomegranate, Rouge Volupte Shine in 12 Coral Incandescent, and Rouge Volupte in 01 Nude Beige. The set retails for $75.00 CAD. Individual lipsticks from YSL retail for $39.00 CAD, which makes the value for the set $117.00 CAD. So, if you do the math, it's like buy two get one for free. How can I miss it?!

I already have the Volupte Sheer Candy in 04, but I am running low on it. I love the formula and it lasts for a long time for a sheer lipstick/lipbalm. So, this is a great opportunity for me to stock up my love!

Here are more pictures:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the set on Sephora website. I guess it's exclusively in store. Next time you are in your local Sephora, be sure to check it out! I'm sure it's going to be sold out really fast, as mine was the last piece in store.

Dior Spring 2014 Makeup Collection - Trianon Edition (Pictures and Swatches)

Dior has recently released their spring collection. I was so excited when I saw the prelaunch pictures online. All the colours are so pretty and girly. I scored a few products during the Shoppers Drug Mart points event. So I basically got some limited edition products at a discounted price! :)

 Diorshow Fusion Mono Matte Eyeshadow in 641 Fantaisie (32.00 CAD)

It comes with a little brush, but I prefer application using my fingers.

I am super in love with the collection. I love every single product I got. All the products are so romantic. There might be one problem for people who like really intense pigmented eyeshadows. As you can see from the pictures, all the colours are really sheer. However, I really like the effect they give on my lids. They are targeted to give a soft and romantic look, so I really have nothing to complain about.

Which product is your favourite? :)
