    Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

    Hey everyone!

    I splurged and bought myself a new spring/summer fragrance!  I had been admiring this perfume for a little while and finally decided to go for it, and I am SO glad I did!  It is the perfect spring/summer scent.  The features notes are ruby red grapefruit, raspberry, green leaves, pear, violet, wild rose, apple blossom, lychee, jasmine, musk, plum and cedar.  Who wouldn't want to smell like that?!  The bottle is gorgeous and the scent is devine :) 

    Here is a picture of the bottle:

    Chanel Makeup Application @ The Bay in Conestoga Mall

    Hey everyone!

    If you follow me on Twitter you probably know that I had my makeup done this past Thursday at the Chanel counter in The Bay at Conestoga Mall.  I want to start off by saying I am grateful for the opportunity and I learned a few tips and tricks from the MUA Summer.  I had a great time and managed to find myself a new bronzer out of the experience... Sadly, that is all the good new I have to report.  Summer used the new Quadra Eye Shadow in Regard Perle, Rouge Coco Shine in Chance (#56), and  VITALUMIÈRE AQUA foundation.  She used several other products but those were the few I asked her to use.  Let me tell you... I didn't like ANY of these products!  The eye shadow quad was disappointing to say the least.  Usually a palette is put together with complimentary colours, any combination of the shadows should give you a beautiful look.  My eye makeup was not pretty... It didn't look like these were colours that came from a predetermined palette (Just my opinion!).  With that being said, I thought the palette looked AMAZING in the packaging... If that counts for anything!  The Rouge Coco Shine was such a let down!  It looked GORGEOUS but it didn't apply very nicely and it vanished from my lips, every last bit of it, within 15 minutes.  When paying that much money for a lip product, I expect it to stay put!  Finally, the foundation looked great from afar but when you got up close it was really cakey and made me look old.  I'm 23 so I shouldn't be looking like I am 40...  I felt she used a lot of products on my skin, much more than I am used to, so maybe I have to try the foundation on my own and hopefully come out of it with a different opinion.  I am not sure if you guys know about this foundation but it is SUPER cool!  It was designed specifically with the needs/requirements of HD photography, video, TV, etc in mind.  Each molecule in the foundation is coated so it illuminates the skin and is appropriate for HD!  The BEST part is that it is lightweight (so they say... the jury is still out on this one right now).  So I am hoping I can change my opinion about this foundation because it is pretty high-tech makeup!  I went back there today and picked up the bronzer she used on me and I will be doing a review on that soon!

    Again, I just want to say that I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot from the MUA Summer, it was a pleasure to spend my morning with her!

    DIY: Face Mask

    I was looking for a cheap and easy DIY face mask recipe the other day and came across one that sounded too good to be true...

    1 part Honey
    1 part plain yogurt

    I thought to myself... That seems too easy and wont it just slide off of my face?  I decided to try it anyways and I am so glad that I did!  I used one of the prepackaged individual sized yogurts and took out one tablespoon and mixed it with equal parts honey and then slathered that on my clean skin.  I ended up mixing up the rest and putting it on my neck and chest and I was pleasantly surprised!  It was so nourishing and moisturizing.  It made my skin so soft!  I left it on for about 10-12 minutes and then jumped in the shower. 

    If you are looking for a quick DIY face mask then I recommend you try this one! :)

    H&M Haul

    I purchased a few cute items and I thought I would share them with you!
    The first is a feather necklace... It has two feathers on it, one is an ivory coloured feather and the other is like zebra print almost... Really cute!  It also has a metal feather and a few other beads and charms.  The necklace part is like a soft brushed suede-y looking thing... I don’t know how to describe it but its cute!

    The second thing is a wrap bracelet... It is an ivory colour and it had a bunch of little charms on it... metal feathers, pearls, metal leaves... etc.  Really cute but REALLY noisy!  I feel like a cat with a bell on its collar :( So I get a little annoyed with it and end up taking it off.

    The next two things are braided bracelets ... one in a coral colour and the other is ivory... They have dangly things at the clasp... I like them but they ended up in my food at dinner... Not good pieces to wear out for dinner!

    The last thing I got was a hair pin set... Two dragonfly pins and two beaded pins, these I like... very cute :)
