Project 10 Pan - Round 4 | 2016

Hey everyone! I have been using up a ton of makeup products lately and wanted to share with you some items that I currently have used up!

ELF Makeup Mist & Set - This is a holy grail item for me that I use before and after my makeup application. I have many more in my back-up drawer to go through and you will be seeing more empties of this particular product in the near future!

Maybelline Fit Me Hydrate + Smooth Foundation in 210 Sandy Beige - This has an SPF of 18 and is for Normal to Dry skin. I have combination skin and that didn’t really apply to me but I did appreciate the SPF in the foundation! I find myself going through these foundations rather quickly but it is very inexpensive so I really can’t complain. Also, I love that they have a wide range of shades in this foundation because there is something for just about everyone! Side note: This has been renamed to Fit Me Dewy + Smooth in the USA but is still the same formula as this one which is the Hydrate + Smooth. 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in Shade 240 Golden Beige - This alone was too dark for me and I mixed it with the Clarins BB Cream which gave me the perfect coverage on my skin! The original formula may just be my favourite out of the entire Fit Me line.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in Light - This gave me great coverage for under my eyes! I wasn’t a fan of the sponge applicator because I feel as though the sponge soaks up a lot of the product. It also can have bacteria which I try not to think about because you can’t exactly clean the applicator. I would have loved if it was in a squeeze bottle or even if it had a pump!

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr.Rescue in Pink Me Up

This wasn’t my favourite product to use because the formula didn’t last long on my lips and I was constantly reapplying it. It is a medicated balm and there is an expiration date on the bottom just an FYI. 

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer aka 'The Luminizer' - This was a great highlighter to use that lasted me over a year! I absolutely love highlighting my face and would often times apply this on my lips as well as in my inner-corners! It is described as a ‘honey-hued lumanizer,’ that really gives me the perfect colour that I look for in a highlighter! I also love the mirror that comes with the compact and I even found myself using it to do my makeup in when I was in different hotels!

NYX Above & Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ 10 Yellow - It is described as light weight and crease free. I would have to agree and I want to mention that I use it under my foundation to really brighten up all the parts on my face that I apply highlighter to. It was a decent product but I didn’t fall in love with it.

Clarins Paris BB Skin Perfecting Cream in 00 Fair - I have used up another tube of this that I spoke about in a past empties blog post. I use this before my foundation to even out my skin tone. I like that it has an SPF of 25 to help protect the skin. I am interested in trying out another brand before buying another tube of this BB cream from Clarins. 

Benefit The Pore-fessional  - This helps to ‘minimize the appearance of pores’ which I need because I have large pores that need some help! This product does not have a colour because it is translucent and feels silky on the skin when you rub it into your skin! It is also oil-free and lightweight. I would definitely re-purchase this product! It is pricey but it honestly lasts a long time and a little bit of this product goes a long way!

MAC Lipstick in Angel - This shade is a frost and is described as a ‘soft pink’ on the MAC web site. It is by far one my my favourite lipstick shades at MAC. I would definitely repurchase this!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Next Stop...

We went to Paint Night which is where a group of people come together at a central location (ours was a restaurant in a hotel,) and we were instructed how to paint a beautiful sunset.

After we wrapped that up, we headed to the city to eat some delicious southern food! We went to a place called Southern Accent which is just around the corner from Honest Ed's. We decided to go because it was the first day of Winterlicious and the menu looked appealing. The restaurant is actually inside an old fashioned house which automatically gives it a warm, cozy and welcoming vibe.

As you can tell by the pictures, the decor is very: fun, colourful, eclectic, vibrant, loud, artistic and unique. There are smaller rooms grouped together into one large space and there are stairs because it is a house converted into a restaurant.

For my appetizer, I got the N'awlins Meat Gumbo which was delicious but the dish that they served it in looked like a large ramekin. I was expecting more as in a larger portion but it was very good nonetheless. My friend got the Crab Crostini which was very fresh and light. My friend did order the Kentucky Sweet Tea which you could only taste bourbon and was very strong. Our entire party ordered the Cajun Trio for our main course. It came with a little bit of everything and my only complaint is that there was too much mint on the lamb.

Also, I love collard greens and would have liked some more of those on my plate. The blackened chicken and candied yams were amazing! For dessert, I had the Sweet Potato Pecan Praline Brownie which was decadent and very craveable. I would consider going back JUST for this specific item because it was that good. The other two members I was dining with had the N'awlins Bread Pudding (which was nice but had a lot of alcohol in the bourbon sauce,) and the other friend had the Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream which she enjoyed thoroughly.

There is also a psychic that does readings for 15 minutes that will run you $40. I enjoyed the food here and will be coming back for my dessert in the summertime when the patio is open!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
