A Ruby Among the Rubble

So, let's just say I recently splurged. I know, I know "you're a broke college student" "you need to save up for your future" "stop throwing your money around" etc, etc. I know that I shouldn't have, but I did. 

And let me tell you something, 10/10 do not regret. This little bad boy is something that I truly believe every girl should have amongst their make up collection, whether they are a fanatic or just want a 'lil something to smack on their face in the morning.

Let me introduce, Too Faced - Natural Eyes.

The palette itself really pleases to all types of the day (which is what it is trying to do, but it does it so well, it's amazing). It has 9 different eye shadows. The looks Day, Classic, and Fashion each have 3 allotted shadows.

Under Day, there is Heaven, Cashmere Bunny, and Sexpresso
Under Classic, there is Silk Teddy (personal favourite), Push-Up, and Erotica
Under Fashion, there is Nudie, Honey Pot, and Chocolate Martini.

Naughty names, Too Faced, naughty names ;)

Every single one has a lovely silk-like texture with amazing pigmentation (I find the darker ones to be better pigmented than the lighter ones but ya know how it goes). I love, love, love, using this in the morning. I guess I just find it so easy to travel with going back and forth from my house to the boyfriends while I'm in school. All you need is a little mascara, foundation, and in all honesty you're good to go!

What's even more lovely about this palette is that it's so friendly to beginners at make up. It comes with a little pamphlet with step-by-step instructions of how to style each look. Brilliant!

All in all, definitely worth it's money ($45 Canadian, $36 American, or roughly 25 pounds).
Available in Sephora

My Favourite Things - Julie Andrews

As some of you may know (these "some" would be close personal friends who I would hope devote a bit of time to read my blog posts...oh well) I have a wee bit of an obsession with make up. There's something about going out to Sephora or Shoppers or really anywhere that sells make up and walking up to the till with products just knowing that you're about to go home and put them all on. 

Unlike some others, my make up obsession is a bit more recent I would say. I've always liked make up and wanted to use it from the age that most girls would (others were too cool for that and still hung with the guys) but I never really got in to it. It was more of a slap 'er on and get out the door kind of deal. 

To take this shocking news further (WHAT SHE DIDN'T LOVE MAKEUP WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!) I always vowed to be one of those girls who never spent an hour getting ready in the morning because I thought it was a waste of time. Boy oh boy, was I ever wrong. Make up is amazing. 

So, without further ado, this is my collection. 

Naked  1 Palette (containing virgin, sin, naked, sidecar,
buck, half-baked, smog, dark horse, toasted, hustle,
creep & gunmetal) 

Little Black Book, Urban Decay in Virgin, Elf shadow stick, Pixie shadow stick, Elf shadow stick

Sephora blusher palette (Los Cabos Bronzer, Blushing Pink,
& Coral Punch) & Benefit - Coralista

 and Rimmel Stay Matte. Apparently I really like Rimmel.

I realize - and I'm sure some of you may as well - that I don't have an extensive amount of what one might call "high end make up". As much I would like to, I'm a saving university student and school comes first (unless it's Chinese food and then we're in a whole new playing field). However I can say that all of my higher end products are loved to a more extreme level than the others, making it all worth the extra cash. 

I hope you all had a nice time looking over this. I would love to see your make up collections, or get some tips as to what new lovely things I should add to mine to grow and improve. 

Thanks for the read xx
