HOW TO: Soft Lips!

Spring is finally here (unless you live in Canada), so that means it's time to wake up those crusty lips and prep them for bright lipsticks! 

Today's post is a list of my favourite lip softening products and a little pictorial of my nightly lip routine.  

Don't worry, there will be no Maybelline baby lips or EOS lip balms anywhere near this post. I don't understand the hype for those products; they literally don't do shit.

REVIEW: Clinique Moisture Surge INTENSE Moisturizer

As you guys know, I have very dry skin. The act of putting on liquid foundation sometimes is seriously horrible when you're flaking all over the damn place. I had previously fallen in love with the Benefit skin care line and then took a break from those to try out a truly awful Body Shop Vitamin E moisturizer. After that failure, I  decided to give this Clinique one a go. 

Before I go on with my review, keep in mind that everyone has different skin. I am not a dermatologist and I have no idea if this will work for you, break you out, cause a rash etc. 

My Spring Nail Picks!

I've picked out my top five favourite nail polishes for the spring season. 

Majority of these are pastel (pastels for spring? groundbreaking~), and then one bright pop. I usually save my super bright nail polish for the summer, so here are my subdued colours for spring. 

FYI: My nails were HORRIBLE when I was shooting this post, so Chris was an absolute gem and allowed me to paint his nails pastel colours and then take a million pictures of them. So special shout out to Chris for being such a good sport.

REVIEW: Buxom "The Sculpted Lash" Mascara

So in this month's Popsugar Must Haves box came this little gem. The extremely funky looking mascara from Buxom is called The Sculpted Lash, and I was really curious to see how this weird ass wand would deliver. 

I know a lot of you guys who watched my unboxing video were curious too, so here is how this mascara performs!

REVIEW: LUSH Sunny Side Bubble Bar

Look at this golden majestic fuck. 

A friend of mine gave me this glittery turd for my birthday and I was so excited to try it. I normally don't really know how to review bathbombs/bubble bars just because they are pretty basic. They fizz or foam up, turn the water a colour, and smell nice.

Somehow as I was using this bubble bar, I found myself really noticing how cool it was and I wanted to share it with you guys.

REVIEW: Maybelline "The Rocket" Volum' Express Mascara

So today I'm reviewing this new Maybelline mascara. Now listen, before you get ready to grab some popcorn and read me bitch about another Maybelline mascara, listen to this; I ACTUALLY LIKE IT. 

I know right? Biggest plot twist of the year. 

My lovely friend Lindsey of Beautybaby44 gave me this mascara along with a few other makeup goodies for my 21st birthday. I'm not gonna lie to you, when I saw this mascara, I side eyed it a bit knowing it was inevitably going to end up in next months "shits". 

To my surprise, this mascara actually works quite well on my lashes!

FOOD PORN: Lemon Macarons

As a huge macaron lover, I have always wanted to see if I could make these delicate fuckers myself.

I recently came across a video by one of my favourite cooking youtube channels, Entertaining With Beth who did an amazing job showing me how to make the perfect macaron cookie. 

These cookies are pretty time consuming and if you do the smallest thing wrong, you can end up with some pretty jacked up looking cookies. I highly recommend checking out her video if you plan to make these yourself because I got mine to be perfect the first try!
