Addicted to Dresses
I remember one summer I said that I was only going to wear dresses or rompers all summer. Did that happen? NO. But this summer I'm not saying that I'm going to wear a dress everyday but the majority of the time I want to wear a dress. WHY? Well a dress is one of those things were its super easy to wear because it's an outfit all in itself and you look super cute and girly.
These are a few dresses that I have already picked up or on my "wishlist"/"need to pick up list". I love how all of the dresses you can dress up or down and wear day into night.
If you don't like to wear dresses or think that you don't look good in dresses. Honestly you have to try on a maxi dress they look good on everyone and (may favourite part) you can do anything in them and not have to worry about flashing someone or it flying up from the wind. There have been multiple times where someone has come into the store and has said that they don't like to wear dresses and they try on a maxi dress and fall in love with how it looks and how it feels.
Do you love to wear dresses?

Holy Grail:Liquid Foundation
MAC Studio Fix Liquid
This has been a staple for me every since I started wearing makeup. I love the consistency of this foundation and the coverage that it gives. I will stray away from it from time to time but when I pick it back up again I remember why I love it so much. This is a foundation that I have multiple shades in from super light to dark for when I have a fake tan.
Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream
I have talked about this foundation before and how much I love it. I remember when we were told that it was going to be launching and I we were all super excited on counter to get it. The we got to try it out at the school before it hit counters and from that day on I haven't parted from it. I have bought the Light and the Medium Light. The only thing that isn't the greatest about this foundation is the shade choice is a little slim but it does go to the colour of your skin pretty well.
This is another one that I have talked about before and this is a foundation that I have in many different shades from super light all the way to when I have a fake tan. This foundation is probably the most natural foundation that I have used. It gives super good coverage but doesn't look cakey or packed on. I love this foundation!
This is a new love for myself. I thought I would try it out since I love the original so much. When I worked on counter the Estee Lauder girls would always put this foundation on brides and anyone that had a special event where there would be photos being taken. Since I was going to a wedding social I picked this up and this is my new favourite everyday foundation I have already repurchased it and I will probably pick up a back up very soon. Again like the Clinique CC Cream the shade choice is limited, I am shade Intensity 2.0.
You know that I love these foundations when I need back ups and multiple different shades just so I have a choice.
I apply all of these foundations with my trusty beauty blender that I can't live without.
What are your holy grail foundations?

February 2015 Favourites
February was such a fast month. It was super busy for me school and work wise. My make-up was very minimal this month most days I just wore foundation with eyeliner and mascara. But this month even though was very busy I did discover a few new favourites and rediscovered a few as well.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light (Intensity 2.0)
So I usually wear my double wear (the original) and in December when I was taking a lot of photos with people for the holidays I picked up a bottle of the light because there is no SPF in it. This month I picked up a second bottle just for a back up. As well, this is the only foundation that I wore all month. I love the coverage and the natural finish that it gives. This foundation is starting to become a HG product in my books.
Rimmel Wake Me Up conclear (Shade 230 Very Fair/Light)
I picked this conclear up at the beginning of the month because I was in dyer need for a conclear and this one caught my eye. This conclear is really good I find that it doesn't crease and it gives a really nice highlight under the eye area. I have also started to take this conclear all the way up around the outer part of my eye and place it just under outer corner of my brow this really gives a lifted effect. And even better makes me look even more awake.
Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof
This is another product that I just picked up because I forgot my mascara at home and needed some. This mascara is a really good defining and volumizing mascara. I have used this mascara almost everyday this month and I don't have anything bad to say about it.
The Body Shop Vanilla Bliss Body Butter
I got this body butter as a Christmas gift and I finally started to use it. I love it! I have gotten so many compliments about my "perfume" and all it is is my body butter. This body butter makes me stay moisturized all day.
Clinique Moisture Surge extended thirst relief
This moisturizer I rediscovered this month and I realized about much I love it! I can put on as much on my face and it will absorb. I use this as my face primer before my foundation and it works amazing.
Mane n' Tail Hair Strengthener
I saw this on Pintrest and I decided to pick it up. This leave in conditioner is really good. I am finding that my hair isn't falling out as much even when I put it up in a messy bun. I use this right after I get out of the shower I will brush my hair spray this all over and really good on the ends and then brush it through.
MAC Lustreglass (Instant Gold) and MAC Matte Lipstick (Yash)
This lip combo has been my go to when I go out or for work. It is the perfect nude and the lipglass really tones down the lipstick and just gives the perfect nude. In love with this combo.

First Impressions: Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Balm
I just purchased this yesterday and I have now only used it twice. From the two times I have used I like it, I find it a little less greasy as my Clinique Cleansing Balm but all in all it does exactly the same thing.
The one thing that I was hoping from this product was that it would be more gentle than my Clinique one just because my skin gets pretty red just from washing my face, but it gets just as red.
I do like this cleaning balm it has a very clean and fresh smell to it that isn't over powering at all. So far my opinion on this cleansing balm is good but it hasn't topped my Clinique one just yet.
