Outfit Details:
- Leather Jacket from Danier
- Grey Tank Top from Forever 21
- Black Leggings are from Aritzia
- Combat Boots are from Hautelook (the Pinky brand)


Until next time,

Canadian Tuxedo

Hey everyone! I quickly put this look together before running some errands. I wanted for the belt and boots to be similar in colour. 


I also opted out for both denim pieces to be the EXACT same colour. Instead, I chose a lighter wash on top so you are still able to see the cardigan.


 Outfit Details:
- Necklace is from Forever 21
- Denim Chambray Button-Up Shirt is from Forever 21
- Black Open Cardigan is from Sirens
- Brown Belt with Cutouts is from Forever 21
- Dark Blue Jeggings are from Hollister
- Brown Boots are from Hautelook


I had fun creating this blog post for you and there is more on the way!



Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stains (Old & New Versions)

Hey everyone! I wanted to include more beauty related posts on my blog, and that's exactly what I plan on doing today. Below you will see two different versions of the Revlon Just Bitten lip stains.



The dual-ended pink packaged lip stain was launched first and has a marker for precise application. The back end of the product is a balm which needs to be applied carefully and with care or else, it is quite soft which allows it to easily break off.

 

The purple/pink pencil is a gel formula and is not dual-ended because the product itself both moisturizes as well as stains your lips. It is retractable and no sharpener is required.


How it looks once applied:
Left: Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (single ended)
Right: Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm (dual-ended)

I purposely did not apply much makeup and no eye makeup for you to really see the true pigmentation of the two lip products. I also did use a tiny bit of a skin colour concealer to neutralize the original pigment of my lips to get a true colour of the lip stain as seen above. Both products have build-able colour and both photos shown are with several coats on the lips.

The Verdict:
I am all for using multi-purpose products or as few products as necessary to achieve my desired results. Let's face it, most days I am in a rush to get to my destination and I can't be bothered with doing extra steps in my makeup application. With that being said, why would I use a dual-ended product when I can use the single-ended product that does the exact same thing? It not only saves me on time, but if you look at the photos above, the felt tip liner looks more patchy and not as smooth on the lips. It is also more drying on the lips even with the balm. The new improved formula is very moisturizing and I did not find it to be drying at all.

I'm sure you already know which product I prefer, the single ended Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. It really does the job and can be a quick pop of colour when I'm in a rush. Or for a more natural look, I could apply a sheer layer of a lighter colour to coat my lips but not to overdo it.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to read my post.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Target Beauty Markdowns

Hey everyone! I stopped by my local Target yesterday afternoon and was pleased to find that they marked down many items!


These are just three items I purchased but there several other items you should try to get your hands on solely due to the great prices. I am not sure how long these markdowns will be in effect for so you should go sooner rather than later to not miss out on these deals.





Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Cyber Monday Beauty Haul | 2013

Hey everyone! I finally received all of my Cyber Monday purchases in the mail and I wanted to share them with you. Some of these items were part of a Pre-Cyber Monday Sale which were bought on Sunday. I did NOT do any Black Friday shopping (surprisingly.) 


The items down below will be categorized and are from: Sephora, ELF Cosmetics as well as Z Palette.

Sephora
Hello Kitty 3-Piece Brush Set
SOLD OUT (the line is discontinued) 

Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens
SOLD OUT 

Tarte 3 Piece High-Performance Naturals
SOLD OUT


This is the Mystery Cyber Monday Bag I receive as well as all the contents inside the bag.


These are 3 free samples that I was able to choose on the Sephora web site upon checkout.


These are a few fragrance samples Sephora sent to me.



I go through one of these about every month and a half. Unfortunately, I can't buy it in Canada (where I live,) and I went to 5 different stores in Buffalo with no luck. This product seems to be a hot commodity and I made sure to stock up while I could. I bought 10 because everything was 50% off. Instead of $3 each, it was $1.50 each.


I was on the ELF web site on Black Friday and they were sold out of this particular product. I purchased my setting spray on the Pre-Cyber Monday Sale because they had replenished their stock. Also, The Black Friday Sale was only "buy one get one 50% off," so the Pre-Cyber Monday Sale was much better in my opinion.

Z Palette
I have been in desprete need of one of these empty palettes for awhile. I have been needing to condense my makeup collection for some time but I could not justify spending regular price on it. Shipping is more expensive due to where I live. I made sure to pick one of these up on Cyber Monday! I was also able to use another coupon code in conjunction with the already reduced price.

Large Eyeshadow Palette in Zebra


I absolutely love this snapback and will be getting plenty of use out of this hat!

I hope you enjoyed my haul!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
