Review- Cover girl tapestry taupe eyeshadow

Hey everyone :) I just thought I'd take the time to tell you about my FAVORITE eyeshadow available at the drugstore :) I love this shade ! It's not only affordable but it's such a gorgeous color that has very little fallout. I definitely recommend this eyeshadow :)

What mascara I'm currently using ...

Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express



I love the brush !



What's it all about ? - Nars Orgasam Illuminator

Today I wanted to share with you on how I use a Nars Illuminator.

What it is, is a liquidy product that I use as a blush. I just take a tiny drop and blend it into the apple of my cheek with my fingers. You could use a stippling brush but i just decided not to. I do love this product and think it is a great investment being it is around $30 (or more :s) It is the only Nars product I own but I really badly want to try more Nars products.

It's more peachy than it is showing up in the pictures.

Review- Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse cream foundation

Hey everyone sorry I havent posted in a while but life has just been super crazy and busy but I'm back ! :)

So as you can tell by the title I'm doing a review on the Maybelline dream smooth mousse foundation. Obviously by the pictures you can see I've used it allot. I'm the shade 110 Porcelain ivory. This was the lightest shade my drugstore had and it is a bit too dark for me. ( Because I'm insanely pale! ) But it did have good coverage. The only things I didn't like was the fact that it made my skin near the end of the day feel really oily, and it wasnt the right shade for me. But that is probably because I have combiantion skin and this is suposed to be very hydrating. If you tend to be on the dryer side then this would work well for you. I believe that this was just over $10 (Canadian) I'm not really sure if I would use it again just because of my oily skin. Overall I would rate it a 6.5/10.

Currently lusting over / I want it so bad !!

Omg you guys have no idea how badly I want the naked 2 pallet !! I need to stop spending my money on non necessities and start saving !! Does anyone have any tips on how I can fight my impulsive shopping ?! :p it would be quite helpful !

Review- Clinique pink beach lipstick.

Hi everybody ! So I have a review today on a lipstick called pink beach by Clinique. It is a very pretty pink color and looks great on pretty much every skin tone. It is one of my every day go to lipsticks when I just want a nice flush of color on my lips. I feel like it lasts a very long time on my lips. The only downside (and I'm not sure if it is just because it is an older lipstick) is that the smell is not fantastic. Other than that I really adore this lipstick. I would rate it a 9 out of 10.

Just a heads up it is in old packaging so if you want to get this shade it is in their butter shine lipstick line.

Review- Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eyestudio

Hi everyone :) Here's a review on a color tattoo. Now there is huge hype surrounding this product so I decided to pick one up. The shade I have is in Bad to the Bronze. I have to say I LOVE it ! I use it as a base and it really does make my shadows last all day without creasing. I would give it a 9.5 out of 10. :)

Review- Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick

Today I'm reviewing a Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in the color Crystal Mauve #830. The lipstick has SPF 18 and the pigmentation is pretty good. I do like the feel of it on my lips and I certainly can tell that it's moisturizing. There are 24 different shades and the color selection is decent. Overall I give it an 8 out of 10. Only because I do feel the need to reapply it more than a few times during the day.

Easy to do nail design :)

I just thought I'd share what's on my nails :) the colors I used are Opi's You Don't Know Jaques and Sally Hansen's polish in White Tip :) All I used was a dotting tool.

Hey everyone sorry I've been MIA for a bit but I've just been really busy. Since the month of February is coming to an end I'll be uploading February favorites today :) stay tuned for some new blog posts !

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Exfoliating Scrub

Hey guys, so today I was at Walmart and of course I headed straight to the beauty isles. When I was looking through the skin care section I found this facial scrub. I opened up the tester and it smelled like heaven !! I love it! It truly does smell like grapefruit :) I just used it and I LOVE it ! My skin feels so clean and fresh. It's a total steal since I only paid $3.77. I totally recommend you checkout these products !

I'm trying to think of what I should post next .... Hmmm any suggestions ??

Nails of the day

The polish I have on today is Shorts Story by OPI :) I love this pink. And yes I know my nails are super short :( but I have to keep them short because of the sports I play. But once spring comes they will be nicer looking ;)

Viva Glam Nicki

Omg -_- *dies* it is so beautiful ! I want this lipstick so badly ! If anyone has tried it can you please tell me you thoughts on it !! Thanks <3

Spring Nail Polish Trends For 2012

Hey everyone, so with spring right around the corner I thought i would post some of the big trends for nail polish :) Hope you enjoy.

1. Pistachio !

This spring you will see allot of this shade. When picking a shade of pistachio you want it to have sort of a creamy undertone so it will stand out on your nails.

Essie polish in Navigate her. 

2. Neon 

No I'm not talking about the old school 80's neon that looks tacky. I'm talking about a more "mature" style of neon. Instead of being BAM in your face with color it's more of a calmed down style. 

China Glaze's Electropop collection 

3. Pastels 

Springtime is when all the soft shades come out. Pastel nails are fun and flirty. It's definitely a trend I'm going to be following.  

Sally Hansen's smooth and perfect color + care. 

4. Fuchsia

It's the super hot girly color of the season. It replaces any "boring" shades of light pink. A great choice if you like to be bold. 

The best drugstore eye shadows

I'm all for expensive brands like MAC but there's nothing that makes me happier than a good drugstore pallet.
So in no particular order here are a few of my drugstore eye shadow favorites...

Covergirl's trio in Golden Sunset:

    I LOVE this trio ! It's pretty much my everyday eye shadow combination when I want a neutral look. The colors are just stunning together :) I totally recommend checking this out !



Wet n Wild's mini pallet in Blue had me at hello: 

This pallet is great for those days you just want to add in some color ! It's super pigmented and I havent experienced really any fallout. This is actually my only eyeshadow pallet from Wet n Wild but I definitely want to get more. 

 Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips for brown eyes: 

If your the type of person that likes super frosty/ shimmery  shadows I suggest you check these out. Obviously you match the shimmer strips to your eye color so there is a great variety of different shades. :)  

Welcome :)

Hi guys :) Thanks for checking out my blog Simply Beauty! I love Makeup and want to share my love with others. I will try to post every day and I hope that this will be a great experience !!

Jess <3
