Breast cancer is the #1 cause of death for women, so a test has to be done in order to defeat it before it progresses. As women has to be aware of these illness and to check yourself for any anomalies in your breast or overall body.

Personally I haven't seen or heard from anyone close to my family to suffer from this, but I think that you have to participate in something so important for women and I created this look for this issue and being that October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For this look I thought I used products that was already reviewed so you can have an idea of how to use this palettes.

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer 

2. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink

3. M.A.C Pigment in Cheers My Dear! (Applied all over the lid)

4. Shady Lady by the Balm Vol. 3 

5. Kay Von D Tattoo Liner 

6. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

- Dusted the creamy white on the Browbone bringing down to make it seamless 

4. MAC Carbon took a pencil brush to apply on the outer 1/3 of eye to further define and smoke out the look abit, making sure that Green shade peeks through.

FOTD: One Shadow Look Feat L'oreal Infallible in 037 Metallic Lilac

Hello There Beauties:

For long time now, I wanted to do a review on all of my L'oreal Infallible eyeshadows. This eyeshadow pots has become very popular since they are a dupe or has similarities to The Armani Eyes to Kill which are very expensive, of course I don't own any so I wouldn't know if they are dupes or comparable. 

I own so many that if I do a post it will be incredibly long. I was watching videos on YouTube and I came to EmilyNoel83 which is an awesome favorite YouTuber of mine. She was talking about one shadow looks, meaning that it gives different depth but you only use one shadow for your whole look. 

In this look I used the 037 Metallic Lilac which was release on the Cannes Film Festival 2012, this is a purple grey with flecks of purple shade in the pan which gives that lilac purple-y tinge to the look. Which you can see here 

This shade gives different dimension depending on the lighting and the angle. I really love it I am so happy I can pull a look with very little effort. Anyone can do this being an expert, halfway with knowledge or no idea of what the heck you are doing. 

EYES: 

1. Rimmel Undercover Eye Primer 

2. L'oreal Infallible in 037 Metallic lilac 

-- applied all over the lid packing the color couple of times to make it more intense. 

-- took a fluffy brush swiping some product and buffing the color right into the crease 

3. Urban Decay Liquid Liner 24/7 in Perversion (used to line upper line) 

4. Maybelline the Falsies in Flared 

5. Wet n Wild Color Icon Brow/Liner in Taupe. 

I hope you have liked this post as it is a bit different putting two posts into one. Please let me know if is something that you want me to keep doing. Thanks again and don't forget to smile as it is the best tool you have xoxo

This look is not an everyday look but I really like it, orange is not a very wearable color but I really would like to challenge myself and see what other combination I can do with an orange eyeshadow, also I noticed that it wasn't blended enough on the crease area and that's because I did it in a hurry, I hope you don't mind :|

I hope you liked this look, I think this is more suitable for fall as orange is a fall color, but if you are a person that don't follow any season or you just wear it because you feel like it then join my club haha.

Anyways I hope you check me out on Instagram and Facebook @ canadianbeautyfinds I usually post my manicure there then I'll later blog about it ... crazy I know!! Take care xoxo

For this look I used the Wet n' Wild Trio in Walking on Eggshell. This is a super duper affordable trio for just $2.47, I bought mine at Walmart.

FOTD: Icy Taupe Smokey look

Hello there my lovelies:

Mother Nature please stop giving us a mix of weather!! It is -2C raining and snowing, is a total mess, boots today are definitely a must!!

Today is all about the taupe color. Taupe is a nice muted grey color that I love very much, but on my skin it looks very neutral and I don't know why but a little boring too. I think this color looks much better for lighter skin color than mine. Regardless on how I feel about it I still use it :) I also added a pop of color, more like an icy blue but the eyeshadow was very sheer that it looked taupe-y with a blue reflection somewhere in it, onto the products then.

Products Used:

EYES:

1. Urban Decay Primer Potion
2. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe
3. Quo Couture e/s duo in Beauty Mark
-taupe side (3/4 of the lid up to the crease)
-off white side (browbone)
4. Profusion Eyeshadow Wet/Dry Palette #04

FOTD: Valentine Strawberry Shortcake Makeup Look

Hi lovelies,

Happy Valentines day!!! I made this look thinking of valentine and out of all the looks I've done I really like this one, this is a more subtle makeup look, a little smokey but very daytime wearable that can be worn to go to school, work or if you are running for errands. This is a look thats very easy to achieve. I also did a wing so it could elongate my eyes and not make it to appear to have smaller eyes. As well I did fill in my eyebrows but it was in the color blond so it kind of washed out my brows a bit. This reminded me of a valentines look because of the light peachy pink eyeshadow, also it reminded me more like a strawberry shortcake just because of the light pink frosting they use haha.

Products Used:

EYES:

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
2. Lise Watier in Pêche Melba
3, L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Forever Pink (used on 3/4 lid)

- Brow bone

7. Annabelle Smoothliner in Bronze (lower lash line)
8. Clinique Bottom Lashes
