Colour Pop Super Shock Shadows

After thinking about trying Colour Pop Super Shock Shadows for the longest time I finally caved and placed an order. These shadows have literally been all the rage on YouTube and Beauty Blogs over the past couple of months and have received raved reviews. I knew I would be receiving an amazing product, the only problem was choosing colours, and for only $5 each it was hard to narrow it down. Here's the quick coles notes on these shadows: 1) Made in LA. 2) Not tested on animals. 3) Cream to powder consistency. 4) Extremely pigmented. 5) Long wearing. 6) Did I mention they are only $5? And that is just to name a few - honestly this brand is definitely worth checking out. Colour Pop is also well known for their Lippie Stix, which I have yet to try, but are next on my list, and once again they are only $5. Check out the swatches of the 6 Super Shock Shadows I purchased below.
1) Lovely (Metallic) 2) Smash (Satin) 3) 1 Heart This (Metallic) 4) Get Lucky (Ultra-Metallic) 5) Amaze (Metallic) 6) Cricket (Metallic)

December Ipsy Bag

December is one of my favourite months, and it's definitely not because of the weather or the snow, but because of Christmas and all the holiday parties between friends and families. With all those gatherings that happen throughout the month, the December IPSY Bag named Creative Genius features the perfect mix of products that go from day to night. This is probably one of the most useful IPSY Bags, since all the products included are staples in mine, not to mention any girls, daily routine. Let's get into the products shall we...

1) Sexy Hair - 450° Blow Out Spray ($18.95): This blow dry spray not only works as a heat protectant but it also helps condition and add smoothness, detangles hair, strengthens hair, adds shine, and most importantly cuts down blow drying time. 2) NYX Cosmetics - Butter Lip Balm in Marshmallow ($4.00): This lip butter is extremely creamy and leaves your lips with a sheer nude pigment and extremely hydrated. This lip product also smells amazing, like most NYX products. 3) Cailyn Cosmetics Just Mineral Eye Polish in 005 Orchid ($15.00): This loose pigment is so unique in the sense that it is in nail-polish like packaging and is applied with a built-in sponge. This 100% raw mineral powder is long wearing, smooth, blendable, and highly pigmented. 4) Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara ($24.00): I have yet to try this mascara but I have heard amazing things about this. The claim is that it is a 4 in 1 mascara that provides length, curl, volume, and conditioned lashes. It is also dermatologist and clinically proven to increase lash volume, so it must be good right. Let me know if you want a review after I have been using it for a couple of weeks. 5) BWC Aromatherapy Skin Care AHA Facial Cleanser ($11.95): This face wash is for combination to oily skin and is a lightly-foamy, soap free cleanser. Its claim is that is removes dead surface skin, daily impurities, and excess oil. BWC, Beauty Without Cruelty, is 100% vegan, made in the USA, and does not test on animals.
