This has instantly become my favourite perfume. I'm partial to floral scents and obviously this is a floral perfume. It's a stronger perfume but still manages to be light enough to use as a day perfume. One of the bottom notes of this fragrance is cedar wood which balances out the peony very well. The retail value is $56 and can be found in any department store but also check out www.fragrancenet.com for awesome deals.
The next two items are from sephora.com. First is Nars blush/bronzer trio in "Laguna", "Orgasm" and "Albatross".
The "Orgasm" blush is their most popular selling blush and is what stars like Kim Kardashian wears (if you care about that sort of stuff). It's very pricey, $55, but I think it's well worth it because you get a blush, bronzer and highlight in one. The blush is a pinky/peachy colour which I was a little afraid of since all I ever use on my fair skin is a light rosey pink. But for a summer look I think it works perfectly. I have never tried a bronzer before and this colour is not too dark on my pale complexion, it gives a natural tanned look which I love. The cheek highlight is pretty but very shimmery so I usually only use it for a night look because I tend to get shiny and oily during the hot summer days.
I also purchased Two Faced Shadow Insurance ($18) after hearing many makeup guru's rave about it.
This is an eyeshadow primer and before I had just been using a face primer thinking it all works the same. It does not! This works so much better because it gets rid of the oiliness that can make the eyeshadow wear off the lid and migrate towards the crease. Also, it makes the eyeshadow colour stand out more, just like a paint primer does for walls. My eyeshadow can last for hours now, and it'll still look exactly how it looked when I first applied it.
And lastly, I was at Lush a few weeks ago and felt adventurous to step out of the normal soaps and bath bombs that I normally get. I decided to try one of their face masks called "Ayesha".
I have oily, blackhead, breakout prone skin. Lush has pretty much a face mask for any skin type. This one is best at clearing and tightening pores. All their masks are kept refrigerated so they feel incredibly refreshing on the skin. After just using it once I noticed my pores were a lot clearer and my face felt softer. I use it about once a week and because they are fresh masks they only keep for about 4 weeks, which is the only downside. I really like that it's all natural ingredients because my skin does not like chemical cleansers anywhere near it. No matter what they always make me break out or make my face more oily. But this mask really helped to calm my skin. I forget the exact price of the masks but they were around $5, which is pretty great if you ask me!
