Photoshoot in Peterborough & Dancing Blueberries

Hey everyone! This past Sunday, two of my friends and I went to Peterborough for a little adventure. It is winter time here, but that didn't stop us from exploring another area in Ontario! We ate some great food, did a bit of shopping, met up with another friend who is a local, and she was nice enough to show us around! We went to see the Lift Locks, the Peterborough Overlook and we feasted at Dancing Blueberries.

Lift Locks

"The Peterborough Lift Lock was designated a national historic site of Canada because it is the highest hydraulic lift lock in the world."

"It is a large concrete structure along the Trent-Severn Waterway designed to lift boats 19.8 metres."

"The lock operates on a balance system, whereby water is let into the upper chamber, a connecting valve is opened and the heavier chamber automatically descends, forcing up the lower chamber to start a new cycle."

"Official recognition refers to the lift lock, including the immediate upper and lower canal cuts, embankments and underground works associated with the function of the lock at the time of designation."

"The Peterborough Lift Lock National Historic Site of Canada is located on the Otonabee River section of the Trent Canal in the City of Peterborough, Ontario."

Simple Everyday Winter Makeup

Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you an easy, go-to look that I have been wearing on most days! It only takes a few minutes and your skin will definitely be looking more luminous if you decide to try this out!

I have been using a hydrating cream that smells like roses that is from Fresh to give my skin the moisture that it has been lacking! It is pretty dry and very cold where I live therefore, I like to add some luminosity to my dull skin in the winter time. I also like to add some colour back into my face with bronzer and blush!

Products:
Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream
Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray (Oil-Control)
Becca Backlight Priming Filter
Maybelline Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer in #20 Light
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer in Tan
ELF Pressed Translucent Powder
Pur Minerals Mineral Glow Powder
Sleek Blush in Pomegranate
ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Wisp
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara in 01 Extreme Black
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in 005 Nude
Maybelline Brow Precise Micro Pencil in Deep Brown

To top off the look, I used #930 Truffle Tease Lipstick by Maybelline which is a great nude colour!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

How To Get Smooth Lips For Fall & Winter

Hey everyone! Our lips need some extra attention in the colder months due to the drop in temperature. Having dry, chapped and cracked lips is not a pleasant sight which can also be quite painful. I want to share my routine that has been working to avoid having dry and peeling lips.

First, I like to go in with a lip scrub. I have been using the Lip Scrub from LUSH for years and have repurchased it numerous times. My favourite scent is the one in Bubblegum. I recently discovered the Velour Lip Scrub from Jeffree Star Cosmetics in Pumpkin Spice Latte (which is perfect for fall,) and it has 5 more grams of product than the LUSH Lip Scrub. I dip my toothbrush in the lip scrub to get enough product on the bristles and I then scrub my lips with it. This will exfoliate your lips and get all of the dead skin off. 

Next, I go in with a damp washcloth with warm water and run it over my lips to get any of the residue off. This brings us to our last step which is to moisturize your lips with your favourite lip balm. My current favourite is the Lip Therapy by Vaseline in the shade Rosy Lips. You can use whichever one that you have on hand but the Vaseline Lip Therapy is what has been working best for me currently. 

You will want to exfoliate your lips especially if you go in with a dark matte lipstick or a liquid lipstick (as pictured above,) to ensure that you have an even application of the product. 

Of course, you can make your own lip scrub at home if you choose to do so. There are tons of tutorials and step-by-step instructions on the internet that you can find with a quick Google search. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Top 5 Affordable Holiday/Winter Nail Polishes

Hey everyone! I wanted to write a blog post about all my favourite nail polishes that have been in my rotation lately! I feel that each one can be perfect to wear at a holiday party depending on your style and what you are looking for in a nail polish or just on a regular winter day!

Nail Polishes (Left to Right):

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in #390 Red Carpet

Such a great festive color! It really brings attention to the nails and can glam up your hands instantly in just 1-2 coats!

Maybelline Color Show in #305 Gilded Rose

This is a fabulous glitzy, girly colour! There are chunks of rose glitter inside, and the base colour is gold.

L'Oreal Nail Color in #116 Brit Invasion

The base colour is purple/grey and there is gold shimmer which is a beautiful combination!

OPI Nail Lacquer in My Private Jet

I heard online a few years back that Kim Kardashian was using this colour on her nails. After I viewed a picture showing her wearing this colour, I immediately had to get it! It is a darker black nail polish colour that when held up to the light, appears to reflect a shade of burgundy and it also, has little silver sparkles inside. It is a truly unique colour!

Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Twilight 

This shade is probably my ultimate go-to colour right now and my favourite out of these 5 beautiful colours. I have a back-up in my collection ready to use! The base colour is a true black and there are chunky flakes of green, copper, orange and gold. I have YET to find a comparable colour from another brand.

Until next time,

Thanks for stopping by!

STAY CLASSY.
