New Obsession

NYX Butter Gloss

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about the best lip product around, IMO. I had heard such amazing things about NYX Butter gloss for the past 2 years! There was no where in Canada to buy NYX products until this past winter when Target came to Canada. I was so excited, but when I went to Target they didn't carry the butter gloss, such a disapointment! So, you may recall that last month I received a butter gloss in my Ipsy bag. I was sooo excited. I tried it out and loved it! I needed to have more. I discovered that one of the websites I order clothing from online happens to sell a small selection of the butter glosses too! So I bought 3 more....

Cherry Cheese Cake

Red Velvet


Raspberry Tart 


 Creme Brûlée 

They are so pigmented, and not sticky at all. Plus they smell amazing.  I think there is about 21 shades, I've got a lot more to go!

OOTD: Family BBQ

On Saturday Anthony's Uncle had a Family BBQ for his Birthday and deck reveal. Anthony has been over there everyday for the past month working on this monstrous deck. Wish I had a picture to show you! It was a colder rainy day so this is what I put together. I had my hair curled, 20 minutes later they fell and within an hour my hair was straight again. The humidity is outrageous right now.

I love this denim jacket. Its very fitted and feminine shaped. The sleeves are the perfect length and its fairly comfortable for a jean jacket. The floral pattern on the top livens it up from a boring plain jean jacket.  The maxi dress is perfect. Its like a very long wife beater - fitted but stretchy. It comes in all sorts of colours too, plus it was only $15.  The necklace I am wearing has a similar vintage floral pattern to the jacket. 


Maxi Dress: Gojane {similar}
Jean Jacket: Forever21
"Vintage" Watch Necklace: Stitches

Ipsy June



I am sooo happy with my Ipsy bag for the month of June! Thank goodness, because last months wasn't so hot.  The bag this month was a huge bonus too because it designed by Rebecca Minkoff! 

NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brûlée
This was the first item I pulled out of my bag and I was ecstatic. That could have been the only item and I would have been happy. I have been dying to try out these lip glosses! Target sells NYX products but they don't carry this specific one. I have been carrying this gloss around with me all weekend, it lives up to its standards. Excellent non sticky formula, they smell like baked goods and the colour payoff is great. Amazing product, now I want them in all the shades. 

Realtree for Her
I am not a big fan of receiving perfumes in my bags mainly because they always break and spill. This time around they packaged it in a tiny ziplock but as soon as I opened the parcel  got a huge waft of perfume and knew there would be a broken perfume sample inside. The ziplock did not help.  Alas, the top had come off and the perfume was leaking out.  Sadly, I am not a huge fan of the smell either. I sort of get a hunt of bug spray in there (which is fitting because its real tree haha!) The full size bottle is adorable though, wouldn't mind having that on my shelf. Too bad I'm not fond on the smell. Check out the full size bottle...

so cute, I want it!

OFRA Universal Eyebrow Pencil
I am fairly excited for this eyebrow pencil. Perfectly sculpted and coloured eyebrows is apparently the new thing. I have been wanting to get an eyebrow pencil for a while but didm;t know what one to go with. Now my decision is made for me. I tried this out, I think the colour might be too dark and I feel ridiculous but maybe it just takes some getting used too.

Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara
This mascara came right in time, I was just thinking that I need to get a new one. Generally, I am not picky with mascara as long as its black and does its job. I haven't tried it out yet but I will be using it the next time I do my makeup! Be A Bombshell is a regularly featured brand from Ipsy and I have no complaints yet.

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray
I was super excited when I got this product too! I have watched a few youtube tutorials for be achy waves and everyone uses this and it looks like it works amazingly! I am going to be bringing this with me to the beach all the time now so I can style my hair after swimming and make it look like its done on purpose (which it will be).  If I am correct, this is a higher end product too and that's awesome.
