Gen Beauty Toronto 2016

The other weekend I got to spend two days hanging out with some awesome people and be surrounded by beauty. From decor to makeup to people, there was some sort of beauty in every direction. That was Generation Beauty by Ipsy.

GenBeauty brings together people and brands who all share the love of beauty all under one roof. Of course, you have to pay and wait in long lines, but the swag bag at the end of it all is well worth it (total at the bottom!)

My fav brushes: Sigma

Whether you're a professional makeup artist or just a at-home makeup enthusiast, you're only as good as your brush.Not only do you need the right brush for the right job, but the quality of the brush makes a huge difference as well.

Alphabet Nails: Engaged!

Guess what everyone!???

Joe Fresh Beauty: Review

Joe Fresh is a name many Canadians have been familiar with for several years. It's found in quite a few grocery stores under the Loblaws umbrella. Affordable and nice clothing for men, women and children are what the brand is known for. So when a friend asked me about their cosmetic line, I was taken by surprise. Conversation went as follows (we were in a mall, btw):

Alphabet Nails: Don't be Shy!

I find the name of this colour a little ironic since it's completely out of my comfort zone and I felt shy about wearing it.

Alphabet Nails: Cyantific Method

This week's letter, C, is a beautiful cyan blue from Wet n Wild.

Cyantific Method is fully opaque in two thin-medium coats or just on medium-thick coat. I love the brush on the Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel nail polishes. It's a wider brush, which makes it easier to fill your entire nail without going leaving behind streaks.

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Through thick or thin, mom's been there for us. Whether it's your biological mother, step mom, adoptive mother or another woman in your life that's been a mom-like figure to you, Mother's Day is the time of year where we show our appreciation for all the crap we've put them through. You may not have realized it then, but ask her about it; she'll tell you about your attitude problem when you hit puberty or the stress you you caused her when you didn't leave notes saying where you were going or when you were going to be back.
