Today was a bit on the warmer side (-2 degrees c) here in Toronto. And yes, that’s warm for what we’ve been through the past couple of months (sigh). These products came out today and since I’m believing – or hoping to believe spring is just around the corner I opted for a neutral lip and a pop of colour on the eyes to brighten it up.
YSL # 1 Nude Beige ($37)
This lipstick has been my go-to colour ever since purchased! I recently caved in since fell in love (uh oh). The YSL lipsticks are extremely creamy and pigmented in colour and very moisturizing. It definitely helps in this winter season for my lips. However, since it’s so creamy I always exfoliate my lips ahead of time using Sugar Lip Polish by Fresh. It removes any dead skin and helps plump your lips at the same time.
Chanel Eyeshadow Quad – Eclosion ($60)
I really do love Chanel eyeshadow quads. They are on the more expensive side, but they are extremely soft and pigmented. With any of their eye shadow quads you can create a full eye look from day to night. I especially love this quad because it suits my brown eyes. During the day I usually opt for the peach colour all over the lids with the plum on my lower lash line smudged out.
Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil ($36)
Since I have extremely curly and frizzy hair this stuff works wonders for me. I apply it when my hair is damp and towel dried after I come out of the shower. I take less than a pea size amount in my hands and work it into my hair starting from about 3/4 down to the ends. The website claims it:
- Restores dry and damaged hair
- Strengthen
- Provides thermal protection
- Helps frizz
- Reduce drying time
And it does exactly all those! I definitely recommend this stuff.
Other products used:
- Chanel Le Volume Mascara # 10 (Black)
- Chanel Perfume
- Chanel Nail Colour # 467 Blue Stain
- Bathia ‘Take a Picture it Lasts Longer…’ Body Balm
Let me know if you guys have any morning beauty favorites.
