FOTD: Breast Cancer Awareness Look

Hello There Ladies:

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.

EYES: 

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 

 

I hope you have liked this post and I am happy to have given my token of participation in something so important for the human race specially for women. 

This look is also very wearable that can be worn for work or just your everyday smokey look. 

Thanks for reading and don't forget to come back to read more interesting post (lol) have yourself a good day and don't forget to smile!!! 

Wet N Wild 8 Pan Palette : 738 Comfort Zone Review & Swatches

Hello There my Lovelies:

Today I have a review of my all time and most used palette from Wet N Wild 8 pan palette which is the Comfort Zone. I'm sure there must be a bazillions reviews but I want to do my own. 

This palette is so versatile and you can do endless looks from neutral to smokey wearable looks very appropriate for office. I have done a few looks using this palette which can be found here here.

This palette has 8 eyeshadows 4 on each column. This palette is a shimmery palette and some has glitter on them which is not transferable onto your eye but my swatches they decided to show up. For this palette I would have wish to have matte shades at least the browbone shades but that's no problem at all, I like the palette anyways :)

LEFT COLUMN: 

- Browbone: is a champagney cream. This is a M.A.C dupe to 'Ricepaper'.

- Eyelid: is a peachy bronze. This is an 'All That Glitters' dupe by M.A.C.

- Crease: is a medium bronzey brown

- Definer: is a deep plummy brown with purple shimmer. This is a dupe for MAC 'Beauty Marked'

Swatches from Left to Right - Browbone, Eyelid, Crease, Definer.

RIGHT COLUMN:

- Browbone: this is a nice Taupey color. 

- Eyelid: this is a light yellowish green. This is a MAC dupe for 'Sumptous Olive'

- Crease: is a shimmery blackish green 

- Definer: this is a awesomely duochrome eyeshadow shifts from bluish teal to brown plummy shade. This is a dupe for MAC 'Club'

Swatches from Left to Right: Browbone, Eyelid, Crease, Definer.

I seriously love this palette as you could tell this has about 5 eyeshadows that are dupe for MAC eyeshadows which is rare to find in a single palette let alone on a very affordable brand like Wet N Wild and not to mention the amazing pigmentation of this eyeshadows. Any makeup lover should have this palette if not all three one called Blue Had Me at Hello and the Petal Pusher palette by wet n wild. They can be found at Walmart for $4.49 (how insane is that) I could not be any more happy with this palette. 

I hope you liked this post .... Thanks for reading and take care 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 :|

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

M.A.C Archie's Girls Collection Swatches and Review

 Wow I am over the moon, I'm so excited because this is the first time I've ever bought anything from a MAC Collection. The weirdest thing is that I am not familiar with Archie's comics at all. I never paid attention to comic books before and didn't know who they were either, until I saw one of the books being sold on the side rack as I was waiting in line to cash out my items at Walmart.

Although I am not familiar with the comic book I dislike the promo picture they came up with. The girls and the guy do not represent the collection at all. Packaging is a different story as it is super cute it gives a nice touch to any girls makeup collection ;) even for decoration purposes.

For this collection they came up with 2 quads, 4 pigments, 4 lipsticks, 4 lipglosses, 2 blushes and 1MSF, and 2 eyeliners.

Out of all I bought the 2 pigments from Betty side, and Veronica's eyeliner. I didn't go too crazy.


Betty's Pigments: L-R Cheers My Dear!, Lucky In Love.

Cheers My Dear!: is a light lavender with hints of pink, with a frosty finish.

Lucky In Love: is a shimmering light blue-ish green with a frosty finish.

Bottles Bottom Showcasing their names:

Veronica's Eyeliner Pencil: Designer Purple

Designer Purple: Purple with Violet glitter. For this one you have to swatch it at least twice to get intensity.


The Packaging in close up:

The names they came up with for yhe pigments are so corky and cute except for the eyeliner, it tells me nothing with "Designer Purple".
These are now available at any M.A.C counter and they are for a limited time only. The pigments are $27.50 CND and the eyeliner for $20. To get a hold of these items I went twice. The first pigment I went to MAC store but were sold out so I went to The Bay and got Lucky in Love, then on another day went to get the eyeliner and the other pigment at the MAC store.
I'll be making looks with these items at some point because I can't wait to start using it :)

Until my next post ... Take care and don't forget to follow me on Instagram at canadianbeautyfinds as well as on Facebook!!!

Annabelle Eyeshadows Swatches & Review Part 2

Hi my dear Readers:

A sunny day!! The sun is out and the temperatures are not bad making the snow melt ever so slowly, I guess spring is just around the corner, ok more like a block away but still is in the near future according to Mr. Groundhog which came out, meaning that spring is around 6 weeks away. According to the Weather Channel, Mr Groundhog is only 33% of the time that gets it right :( I guess one can only hope for the best.

On a brighter note today I have the second part to all my Annabelle Eyeshadows. This post is all about the colorful shades. If you want to see part I click here for the neutral shades.

Annabelle eyeshadows as I mention on my last post are very buttery and very pigmented. The price is very affordable and there are a great variety of shades to choose from. The price for each shade are about $5. They used to come in a magnetic pan, but now it's only in a pot much like Mac eyeshadow pots and refillable pans.
They used to sell the magnetized empty quad case so you could fill it up with your own shades, and it cost around $4.99. The quad case came with a very nice design more like a graphite, like those they paint on walls. Which you can see on the photo below.

Annabelle Custom Quad Refillable Compact.

Now onto the eyeshadows:

Ultra Violet: this is a matte dark Purple-y Violet color

Rainforest: this is a light shimmery green.

Vert-to-go: this is a medium dark shimmery green

Fantasy: this is a shimmery aqua-ish green. Very pretty!!

Lagoon: this is a matte Dark Navy blue.

Annabelle Eyeshadow in Lagoon

Ebony: this is a matte black eyeshadow much like Carbon by Mac.

Annabelle Eyeshadow in Ebony

96 Snowflake: This is a matte White

So we come to an end to the eyeshadows, I do hope you have enjoyed the series. I did a look with this eyeshadows which is here. I really like this eyeshadows a lot and I really recommend them if you come across Annabelle products. Thanks for reading ... take care!!

FOTD: Turquoise Smokey Look (How to Make Brown Eyes Pop)

Hi beauties,

Today is very cold day, I just can't believe how the weather actually behaves just a few days ago it was 16 degrees and now is -10 and snowing.

On a brighter note, I have a look of the day with bright eyeshadows I actually wore it to work. I used colors that will actually compliment my dark brown eyes. I think that these colors compliment any browns eyes, that is if you dare to wear bright and bold colors. Maybe this look will look a little exaggerated but that's be cause I have heavy droopy lids and very deep eyes, that when I open them you can tell I wear eyeshadow unless I wear it higher than any person with nice lids haha! The products used are a mix of drugstore and mid-end products.

Products used:

For Eyes:

1. E.L.F eyelid primer
2. Maybelline Color Tattoo Tenacious Teal
3. L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow 031 Innocent Turquoise (used on lid)
4. Wet N Wild Confort Zone (eyelid, Definer and browbone were used)
5. Wet N Wild Blue Had Me at Hello (Definer used on crease)
6. Maybelline Falsies Mascara
7. Gosh eyeliner Blue Lagoon (used along lash line)
8. Annabelle Smoothliner Black (used in waterline)

1. Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation 220 mixed with L'oreal Magic Smooth Soufflé 532 Clasic Tan
2. Revlon PhotoReady Powder 030 Medium Deep
