Confessions of a Cosmetics Junkie :-)


Bad things can happen when you have too much time on your hands. Some people play one too many rounds of Guitar Hero by themselves( guilty of that) or play a ridiculous amount of Angry Birds( that too! :-) ). In the past few months I have also become a little addicted to make-up.

It all really started when I graduated high school and suddenly didn't have to get up at 6:30 in the morning. It's really amazing what happens when you don't have to get up that early. I suddenly found that I actually had time to put in to what make-up I'm putting on my face. It's so much more fun when your not in a rush! I'm not a very artistic person. My drawing ability begins and ends with a stick person. But I've always been pretty good at putting colours together, so applying make-up gives me a chance to use my skills without actually having to draw something first. How cool is that?

But I think I might have a problem because the more I look at magazines and try new looks, the more cosmetics I buy. So I figured I would put this to good use and post a little review or something whenever I get something new.

I actually got quite a few things this week:
1.Hard Candy Walk the Line Liquid Eye Liner in Turqouise
I love this stuff! I'm a little obsessed with liquid eyeliner in the first place so maybe I'm a little biased.:-) It's really easy to put on. I have another liquid liner that is a pain to put on because the brush is so small but this one is really nice. The colour is really great too and makes a really cool cat eye. PLUS it was only $6!





2. Rimmel London Bush in Pink Sugar

This is a really nice colour, but pretty light. Lasts all day, which is always a plus, especially for a blush. I'm not gonna lie- I mostly bought it for the crown logo. I'm a sucker for pretty packaging.









3. Covergirl Blast Flipstick in Cheeky

This was my big splurge ( it was $9.99). You really get two lipsticks, though.  I really like both the colours and how you can mix them up. It also lasted for a really long time, which is awesome. It smells a little strong, but that's about the only downside.







4. NYC Lipstain in Forever Fiesta and Never Ending Nude
I loooooove lipstain! This one is really nice. I really like the forever fiesta colour(fourth from the left). It last FOREVER!
And it doesn't feel sticky like lip gloss. It's even a good price! The only thing is it's a little dried out so I hope it doesn't die.

Well, Hello There!

Hi! Haven't seen you in awhile.Lol. I'm really bored today, so I was flipping through my favourites list and what should I see but the link to this blog, which has been sadly neglected over the last couple of months. I'm under no illusions that  anyone is actually reading this thing, but it's been a shamefully long time since I've written anything so I might get back into the habit of posting random stuff here occasionally.

Hmmmm... what should I ramble about today? I finished reading a biography about the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge yesterday, so now I'm just about DYING to go back to London.(Oh yeah, did I mention I've been to Europe since I wrote last?:-) ) Winter in Canada can be the most dreary thing imaginable.  Anywho the book was really good. Reading something that takes place somewhere you have actually been to is so cool.
Anyway I'll write again when I actually have something to SAY!
Ta for now!
