BEAUTY BUCKET LIST TAG xx

Hi Beauties, I was watching YouTube today and came across a new tag created by GlowingGorgeous and thought it was such a fun idea I had to do it. There is only 5 questions. Here We Go...


Question 1...
What High End Product would you like to get?
GUERLAIN METEORITES PEARLS ILLUMINATING POWDER - 
I have wanted these forever now but just havent been able to justify the price. Not only have I heard wonderful things about these multi-coloured wonders but the tin would look so pretty on my vanity:)
Question 2...
What Low End Product would you love to get?
E.L.F BLUSHES
Beautiful colours, good colour payoff and great reviews and for 3 dollars how could I go wrong.
Question 3...
What Product do you Own but would like to get more of?
STILA BLUSHES
I only own one and I love it. So pigmented and a gorgeous colour. Every time I go to Shoppers or Sephora I want to buy them all.
Question 4...
What Product do you want but will probally never get?
CHANEL FOUNDATION
I have wanted to try out Chanel Foundations for a while but because they arent sold near me I would have to try to find a place to order from online. Too much money to spend on a product I cant see or colour match first.
Question 5...
What Product are you Planning/Wanting to get because of Raves by Beauty Gurus?
REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSHES
Have heard nothing but wonderful things about Samantha Chapman's line of brushes but since they dont ship to Canada yet (hopefully one day) I will have to wait..but they will be mine:)
I want The Face & Eye Brushes:)
Hope you liked this Tag post and if you do your own Beauty Bucket list please comment with link below, I would love to see it.

IF YOU SAW ME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT:)

Hello Beauties, I'm spending a lazy weekend with my 3 monkeys but i thought I would share with you my go to Make-up look for when I go out on my kid free weekends. Whether Its date night with my Fiance or Dancing with my friends this is the look I usually do..changing a few things here are there like the colour of my lipstick & sometimes throwing on some fake lashes. 

FOXY on Lid & TEASE in Crease
Deeper red Smudged on Lips & Layer of Sheer brighter Shimmering  Red  over it
To apply winged liner I find it easiest to line my Upper Lash Line then draw a line coming out from the outer corner of my eye angled up a tiny bit. I then join the edge of the wing back to the Liner on lash line and fill it all in.
 This is a very easy look and I hope you like it. I'm sure of done pieces of this look in other Looks posted on here but I keep meaning to take pictures before I go out (which is rare).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONKEYS:)

Hey Dolls This morning I'm taking a small break from beauty Blogging because today is a very special day in our home..My Twins turned 5 today. On March 29th 2007 My water broke and an hour later (before they had time to give me any pain meds..OUCH) Ava made her debut at 5lbs 14oz and 12 minutes later Roman followed his sister into the world at 5lbs 14oz. My Monkeys never stop Amazing me and make my world a little brighter every day. I love you my Sweet Babies xo

MY PUR MINERALS FOUNDATION ROUTINE

Hey Dolls if you saw my last Haul you know I was in need of a new foundation and picked up the PUR MINERALS starter kit. I have never tried a powder foundation before because I never thought it would cover enough (redness) and it would look cakey..but I thought ah why not just try it.


1. First off I do still need some concealer under my eyes but since this is a powder foundation I apply it before instead of after my foundation like i normally would. To apply the PUR MINERALS 3in1 Powder foundation I tap the chisel brush into the the powder do a swirl into the lid then I swirl it in circular motions over my face.
2. Next I apply the Bronzing Powder (they say it can be swept all over the face for a sun kissed look) with an angled powder brush in the 3 E pattern as well as down my nose across top of my forehead.
3. Last I tap my big powder brush lightly into the the Pink Marble Blush (very pigmented) and apply it to the apples over my cheeks, sweeping it up lightly.


                                  NO MAKE-UP:(
FOUNDATION
                      APPLYING THE FOUNDATION
                 ALL DONE WITH THE FOUNDATION
                                         BRONZER
                                      MARBLE BLUSH
                                       ALL DONE
My Verdict..I think this foundation is great. A very unexpected 2 thumbs up from me. Although I still need concealer under my eyes it does cover redness quite well, doesn't look cakey, feels very light and keeps my T zone shine free all day. I love trying new foundations but I'm sure I will be adding the full size products to my Make-up collection in the future.
Thanks for stopping by Beauties

MY MARCH FAVES:)

Hi Dolls just wanted to share my March Faves. These are products I found myself reaching for over & over again all month. Well here we go...

 Im having a growing love for Matte shadows so my go to eye shadow combo all month was wearing Foxy all over the lid and tease in the crease both from UD Naked 2 Palette


 With the nice weather outside I found myself reaching for my MAC Moisture Tint over a foundation and  just wore a touch of concealer (Benefit Boi-ing) under my eyes. 


 I went back and forth between Rimmel's Dazzling Raspberry & Lily Extase depending on my out fit and mood:)


 With the warm weather here I also got back into my bronzers, which I barely ever use in the winter. This month I used Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Dance. For Blush I was in love with Vasanti Blush in Rockies.


      L2R - Vasanti Rockies Blush, Rimmel Sun Dance Bronzer, 
     UD  Foxy & UD Tease


         L2R - Rimmel Lily Extase & Dazzling Raspberry


For Face Care I cleansed with Noxema (I love the smell..strange I know lol) I followed with NeoStrata Toning lotion on a cotton pad and BioDerma as a gentle yet great eye make-up remover.
