Comments? Questions? Concerns? Anyone...

Hey Chicas!

So I have been thinking up a way to change-up this blog.  I know, I know it’s not really that old, then I look at the followers list and it at 10.  Which is better than nothing which is what I started with, but I really want to share my knowledge and tips and tricks, as well as total failures with you guys.  Because, really what good is finding something out good or bad and sharing it.  Why should you all suffer the bads and not ever get to experience the wonderful if I don’t share these things.    

So, I have been a little long in figuring out my opinions on items.  And the reasoning behind that is simply that I take a while long long time to make up my mind.  Even if something is wonderful the first try, I don’t want to tell anyone, for a huge fear of having something go wrong with it the next time I use it.  I don’t want to recommend something that I love and have you go and purchase it, then change my mind on it in a few weeks, and never talk or use it again for a look.  That to me doesn’t seem fair.  But if you guys would like to see my first reactions to products and then maybe a follow up consideration after more time......  I dunno really.  I would like to have your opinion.

There are a few items that are pretty easy to determine whether you like or not, such as lip gloss or blush.  After a few days you know whether or not it wears well.  Other items that have more contact with my actual skin seem to take me a lot longer (total understatement). 

For those who don’t know me and my skin, I should likely write a little history about it, but for the time being I have very sensitive skin, and can breakout super easily.  So I have a hard time finding creams, cleansers, toners, foundations and even powders that don’t break me out.  My issue lies in trying everything all at once and then not being able to pinpoint the cause of my colossal breakout.  And my breakouts last a few weeks before the skin is no longer inflamed.  Then I have to add one thing back at a time to find the culprit.

So let me know what you’d like to see in this blog, whether you follow me by subscribing or just checking in, let me know.

Thanks, Caitlin xoxo

Natural Grey NARS Palette Look

Hey Chicas!

So, I love using the NARS palettes, and this one is...

And it is concentrated on the left hand side, right next to the blush.  Yup, that's right only two colors to get this fresh faced look.

You know just because you want a neutral look doesn't mean that you have to use browns and taupes, think greys, pale purples, and putty tones.  For blush, look for natural tone, something close to what you would naturally blush (pinch your cheeks if you don't know).

Products used:
Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Primer
NARS Palette - Opal Natural Puttyish Shade
NARS Palette - Pale Grey Purplish Shade
NARS Palette - White Sparkly Shade
Kirkland Signature Grey Eyeliner
NYX Doll Eye Long Lash Mascara
Blush - Both tones used
Tokyo Milk Lip Balm
MAC Viva Glam Lip Stick - Cyndi Lauper
Rimmel Volume Booster Lip Color - Nude  

So I hope that this post will inspire you to look at your current makeup and see how you can mix and match between them and create a look of your own.

My First Swap!

Hey Chicas!

So this was an exciting start to the week, let me tell you!  I finally, and I do mean finally got a package from the states.   It took a ridiculous 5 weeks to come, and my package to the states took less than a week.  Can't quite figure that one out, but soo glad that it came.

I was contacted by a subscriber of my channel, who always was said wonderful and nice things to me about my videos, in doing a swap.  At first I was like well I don't know, but then the more I thought about it the more stupid I would be to not do it!  So she wanted some Annabelle Eyeshadows (can't get in the states) and I wanted something from Walgreens (only in the states) so it worked out wonderfully.

The box, was covered in Hello Kitty stickers which was such a nice gesture, but the best part was it wan't just the face cream I wanted, but other goodies as well!

So for staters the cream...

So the first time, is always exciting, and Sally's was exciting.  It is located in Moncton NB, and from the location its just across the street from Costco, so if you're in the area totally check it out.

Its open to the public, and the prices are really similar to what I pay at the professional only stores, so there is a plus!

Firstly, I picked up some cute polish colors.  They don't sell Orly where I purchase from on the Island.  I got a purple and a pink.
