"HALLOWEEN KISSES" FANTASY MAKERS LIPSTICK AND GLITTER EYELINER

Hi again everyone,

Before we begin today just a side note. I will not be posting anything for the next couple of day as it is Canadian Thanksgiving this week-end and I have many other things to focus on at the moment. So stay tuned for much more starting up again next Tuesday:) Thanks for your support everyone


Moving on to more of the Halloween theme lets take a look at two of the Fantasy Makers lipsticks available now till Halloween and one glitter liner.



The first colour is the traditional red which can be used to do sultry vampiress looks or if you love red lipstick you can grab this for super cheap and get that red that you crave.


 
Next we have that fierce black that you either love or hate, for many years I rocked a black lip even when the world wasn't ready for it.
 

 
Lastly you can also combine the two to create a more deep blood red ombre affect, which can also be great for Halloween or anytime if that's the style you love
 
 
There are very tiny fine red glitters in the red that show up more when you do this combination.
 
I find the lipsticks do have that slight Halloween waxy smell, but I don't find it bothersome. I find the black wears off quicker because it seems slightly oilier.
 
I NOTICED ON THE FANTASY MAKER WEBSITE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BLACK AND RED LIPSTICK TUBES AND THERE ARE ALSO THREE SPARKLING LIP GLOSSES IN WHITE, RED & BLACK WHICH LOOK GOOD, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM AT A STORE NEAR ME. AGAIN SOME ITEMS MIGHT BE US RELEASES ONLY
 
You get 3.6g for$1.99 CAD
 
 
Last up is one of four glitter eyeliners, I opted for a teal one because it can carry me through the Christmas holidays as well as into the summer months, but they also come in black, silver and purple. I don't use glitter liner enough to justify purchasing all four of them.



 
 
I find the glitter a bit of a pain to work with and before each additional application I recommend letting the first one dry. If the previous application is still wet you just keeping shifting the product around and actually start making a mess and not a define line. As you can see even I did not do the best possible application. I did get a bit in my eye and it felt awful, so be careful. To remove it make sure you use a good eye makeup remover or just good old fashion soap and water, which to me works the very best.
 
You get 4.6g for $2.99 CAD
 
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT A FULL RANGE OF FANTASY MAKERS ONLINE OR AT A STORE NEAR YOU, ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME
 
ARE YOU PICKING UP EITHER OF THESE LIPSTICKS OR ANY LINERS?? LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE SPOTTED THE GLOSSES WHERE YOU LIVE AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE??
 
 
TILL NEXT TIME
 
GUYS & GHOULS;) XO

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS THAT I USE DAILY

HI EVERYONE,

Today I thought I would share with you all, some of my favourite staple items that I reach for almost everyday. The only time I use other products is if I am doing eye looks for pictures, photographing products for blogs or going somewhere that requires a certain day or night look.


 
 
PHYSICIANS FORMULA SUPER BB- This is the very first thing I put on my face after washing it in the morning. It is in the colour Light/Medium and gives my face a dewy flawless finish without making my face look like a mask. 35ml is $22
 
 
 
ESSENCE STAY ALL DAY 16HR CONCEALER- By far the best concealer I have personally used, but I have not used any high end so I may be limiting myself. However for the price you can't beat the coverage, lasting power and it has a nice cream consistency that is not to thick. 7ml for $4
 
 
 
MAYBELLINE FIT ME BLUSH "MEDIUM CORAL"- This blush has become my fave as I am not normal a fan of blush entirely so this has worked out well. I still love my PF happy booster blush just as much I tend to go back and forth between the two. This gives just a perfect kiss of colour without looking like an old crazy cat lady with to much rouge on her cheeks. I got this on recommendation from Ms. Jennifer Wan who does YouTube and a blog spot
It has very similar colour payoff to Nars "Orgasm" if your looking for an affordable dupe.
4.3g for $7
 
 
 
ANNABELLE EYESHADOW QUAD IN "CHAI CHAI CHAI"- I love this quad because it's great for everyday use and it's a grab and go kind of item for busy mom's like me. The colours have excellent pigmentation and are silky smooth to apply. Simple and beautiful. I think Annabelle did an amazing job with this series of quads. 7.2g/$11
 
 
 
PHYSICIANS FORMULA MINERAL WEAR TALC-FREE AIRBRUSHING PRESSED POWDER- Despite the name being far to long I love this powder. It really does finish off your look nicely, with a smooth flawless canvas. Its a breeze to use with a puff or brush. It last several hours and may only need a touch up in the t-zone. If you suffer from hyperpigmentation or rosacea this is great for covering that as well, along with the "Super BB." Also all of PF products are non irritating and fragrance free.:)
 
 
 
MAYBELLINE LASH STILETTO MASCARA WATERPROOF BLACKEST BLACK- I still love the Rocket mascara, but this Stiletto mascara has stolen my heart I love the sexy black & red tube, but the product is beautiful and gives my lashes the look I want which is define, a little length and good separation. I love the brush on this mascara as well. Also because it's waterproof it does not budge at all the whole time I wear it, but washes off fairly easy.
 
 
 
PHYSICIANS FORMULA SHIMMER STRIPS EYELINER IN BRONZE BROWN-
This is a favourite because it's not quite black, but dark and rich enough to still give the eye definition. Its so easy to apply because it glides on effortlessly without any noticeable drag. I can get into my lashes and do a phenomenal tight line with this pencil. Also incredibly long wearing. The other plus is that it's mechanical, no sharpening required. You get 3 to a pack for $12 (I think)
 
 
 
and last
 
REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK (MATTE) SMOKED PEACH- I have lots of lipsticks and gloss, but I always come back to my tried and true. I love everything about Smoked Peach and its wearable in my eyes year round. If you have not tried this colour you really need to. I also think it would be complimentary to so many skin tones. It wears for several hours, fades out evenly and is creamy even though its matte and doesn't dry out my lips like other matte formulas.
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed seeing my favourites and let me know in the comments what your favourite staple items are;)
 
thanks for reading
 
STAY BEAUTIFUL XO

PHYSICIANS FORMULA HAUL AND REVIEW

ALL ITEMS WERE SENT TO ME BY PR FOR CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW, SO THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH TO PHYSICIANS FORMULA. OPINIONS ARE MY OWN BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

ORGANIC WEAR JUMBO LASH MASCARA
 (SRP. $12) 7.5g ULTRA BLACK
 I really like most everything about this mascara. The wand is nice and sturdy and the brush is super thick and the soft plastic bristles give you nicely separated voluminous lashes. You get just the right deposit of colour without it looking goopy and overloaded. The only downside is it does smudge if you sweat a lot (WHCH I DO) due in part to the fact it is not waterproof and probably because it's not loaded with harsh chemicals that make most mascara's stay on for a long time. To me it's not really a big deal, but you should know that if your planning on purchasing.


I love the tube itself it's such a great unique style and true to the natural ingredients that Physicians Formula offers. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and I would definitely repurchase it because it does not irritate my eyes and gives a nice natural pretty look to the lashes.

This mascara is 100% NATURAL and the entire tube is 100% recyclable

Only two colours are offered Black & Ultra Black


SHIMMER STRIPS EYE ENHANCING EYELINER TRIO
(SRP. $14) WARM NUDES

I want to start by saying that I forgot how much I  love to use a mechanical eyeliner that is self sharpening. You can get in so close to the lash line and get such a great accurate line without mess or fuss.
The set comes with three pencils, which is so great as you can create ample looks and will be well stocked for eye liner for a while. The custom colours in this particular set are COPPER, BRONZE AND BLACK. The black has a bit of sparkle to amp up your eye look and really illuminate them. The bronze is really nice if you want a deeper tone for your liner, but not as dramatic as black. The copper looks really nice on the water line and makes the eyes stand out and sparkle.





SUPER BB CREAM
(SRP. $20) 35ml LIGHT/MEDIUM

I would say this bb cream is the closest in terms of meeting the standard with Asian bb creams and I am a real fan of it. I like the way it goes on, blends out and works well on my oily skin.
So here is the 10 benefits that Physicians Formula promises from their bb cream
  • Smoothing
  • Moisturizing
  • Protecting
  • Firming
  • Priming & filling
  • Perfecting
  • Concealing
  • Brightening
  • Line softening
  • Long-wearing



Once blended out this bb cream evens out the skin tone and leaves it dewy and natural looking. This is a great bb cream for summer weather, it feels lightweight and adds moisture without the oiliness. Also your face will be protected from the harsh affects of the sun with its built in SPF30. I like that I can apply this quickly and just get on with the day.

This bb cream also comes in Medium/Dark 



MINERAL WEAR TALC-FREE AIRBRUSHING PRESSED POWDER
(SRP. $16) 7.5G BEIGE

This ultra fine pressed powder has now been my go to powder. I really like the finish it imparts on my skin. As the last step after applying the bb cream it leaves the skin looking silky and flawless. It has very good coverage for a powder and will last up to 16 hours, mind you I never wear it that long. I only wear makeup when I go out, other wise I remove it has soon as I am home again to allow my face to breath naturally.





If you are sensitive to a lot of products and tend to break out I recommend this for you as it is non-comedogenic, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, paraben free and dermatologist approved. Again this product gives you sun protection as well with SPF 30.
The other shade options are
translucent, creamy natural and natural beige.
 
The compacts from Physicians Formula all come equipped with a mirror and brush


SEXY BOOSTER, SEXY GLOW BLUSH
(SRP. $14) ROSE


Have you ever heard of a pheromone boosting blush, that sends out a seductive scent??? Yeah! nither did I till now. However that is what Physicians Formula is offering with this product.
The blushes I have tried by PF are really beautiful. I normally am not a huge fan of blush, but these ones are quickly changing all that.
This rose toned blush offers luminous sexy from within look with just the right touch of shimmer. Sexy glow blush builds easily and blends to a lovely finish.






The packaging for this blush is excellent, completely reads sexy with the embossed print of a stiletto high heel in the powder it self. The compact opens with the look of a leather bound book and is draped in material which looks like sexy fish net stockings over sensual red satin. There is also a small black bow with a silver high heel charm. The back opens as well which has a mirror and holds a small brush.

So what makes this blush so sexy
Androstadienone - It's odd that Androstadienone is in this as normally its predominant in men's cologne, but is noted for creating sexual attraction.
Muricine Aglycone - This ingredient is a non-pheromone organic molecule found in sea coral and has been proven to increase excitement and arousal in men and woman.
Cocoa extract- which has PEA in it in slang known as the "Love Chemical" also induces feelings of attraction and euphoria.
Horny Goatweed - This has been around a long time and was part of ancient Chinese medicine. It is said to restore sexual fire and is very much an aphrodisiac.
To top it off this powder has to off the most sensual scents in the world which is Vanilla and Musk.

Again it is free from all the things I mentioned for the pressed powder above but also is Gluten free.

Who knew that you would be attracting men or women now with something as simple as rosy cheeks

If you love blush or are looking to try something new don't miss this SEXY BOOSTER


The next item is also a blush, but I purchased this on my own and its the

HAPPY BOOSTER GLOW & MOOD BOOSTING BLUSH
(SRP $14) NATURAL

This is by far one of the cutest blushes I have seen embossed with various sized hearts all of which have different shades that blend seamlessly together to create the most beautiful glowing blush without being crazy in colour. I have used this most days since I purchased it and it's the perfect blush for me as I don't want crazy bold rouge across my cheeks. I want something that highlights just right with a gentle colour. This to has plant extracts that help promote feelings of happiness. That area is a little grey for me as I can't say I notice a difference, but I am happy to put on this blush each day, so it's all good.

Just beware this does have a very subtle scent of violets so if you don't like floral scented items this might not be for you. Mind you it is very light I don't even notice it when it's on only if you smell the compact.

And last but not least is the

PH MATCHMAKER PH POWERED LIP GLOSS
(SRP. $10) LIGHT PINK

This gloss is the first of it's kind to work with your bodies natural ph level and reacts to the light. Within 60 seconds you will have the perfect shade of gloss with a long lasting finish of up to 10 hours. PH MatchMaker lip gloss is fairly smooth, has very fine sparkle with just a touch of tackiness.


The sleek hot pink tube is sure to be a hit with most of us girls out there, but it gets better. Find yourself in the dark of the car, out at a club with dim lights, trying to get makeup on in the bedroom where a loved one is sleeping? No problem these lip glosses come fully loaded with a mirror and two bright led lights in the cap. With just a click of a button your in action.


So anytime your lips need fresh gloss be sure to keep this handy one in your bag wherever you go. Now you really can go "Glamping" just on a smaller scale.
 Use this not only to apply makeup, but a an emergency flash light.

Including this shade there are three colour choices and the other two are Natural & Pink

I highly encourage all of you to try something from Physicians Formula as I truly love these products and find them well worth the money. They do not irritate my skin at all and in fact other then testing products when I have to for reviews I have not been using anything else on my face. My top picks are the BB cream, pressed powder and happy booster blush.
