Hello Tuesday!  Here are a few of my go-to beauty picks that I use.

Benefit they’re real push-up liner   This liner took me a bit of time to get use to putting on. But once I got the hang of it, it’s been full proof ever since.  It allows you to make thick or thin lines with ease and glides on smoothly. Plus, it’s sort of waterproof.  Once it’s on, it won’t smudge off easily. Depending on how thick I make the lines on my eyes, I sometimes have to take it off with a good makeup remover (I use Lancôme Bi-facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover $36).

Stila colour balm lipstick   If you want colour on your lips, but don’t want a colour as bold as red, then this is perfect for you. I love wearing this lipstick for a nice pop of colour on my face during the winter season.

Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 Foundation light   I’m a girl who doesn’t have a lot of time to put on makeup. So, I was looking for a no-fuss, no-muss foundation that provided the coverage I needed. This was it! Depending on where I need to go and how much coverage I need, I can easily use more or less of it without having more than one type of foundation. It’s simple to use and quick to put on with my kabuki brush, for a smooth and flawless look.

L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara   I have tried numerous mascaras, but this mascara is my favourite by far. It delivers what it says it intends to do and applies the mascara exactly where you need it to go. The revolutionary butterfly brush spreads, extends and lifts the outer corner of your lashes for a perfect winged-out look. The bonus is it’s not going to break the bank.

Urban Decay Naked2 Basics eye shadow palette   Looking for neutral eye shadow shades?  Look no further.  This has all the neutral colours I need for that natural or smokey-eye look.

Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb Eu de Parfum Rollerball   I am not one for a strong floral scent, so I wasn’t sure about trying this.  However, to my surprise, this has become a favourite of mine. The floral notes are subtle, but are enough to awaken my senses in a positive light. A girl on the go, who loves to explore far away places like me, needs this. The rollerball makes it quick and easy to put on and is the perfect size for travel.

Until next time Lovelies!
