Toronto Imats 2014 Haul (Picture heavy)

This was my first year going to Imats, after reading a couple blogs I kinda figured what to expect and what to do to prepare myself. I got to the convention centre around 9:15am, the line to get in was moving pretty fast. Inside there were already insane lines for MAC which was 20% off, MUFE which was 40% and Nigel's Emporium which a ton of products. I made a list of things that I wanted but I also ended up getting some Christmas presents here as well for the people  went with. I stayed till 11-ish by that time I was exhausted and I had had my fill. My motivate was to hunt down the booth that sold sigma which was an amazing deal I got two brushes F35 for $11 and F50 for $13 and the Ben Nye Banana powder which was nearly impossible but I did it. Below is my haul of things I got at Imats.

I really enjoyed my experience at Imats and I will definitely go again, its like an adrenaline rush and there is so much to see.  

Some tips for people:

1. Get there early it gets packed fast

2. Make a list if you know what you want, makes it s much fast

3. BRING CASH - I cannot stress this enough

4. Bring water, it gets very hot in there and a bottle of water there cost around $3

Halloween Nails 2K14

Its been awhile since I've done nail art. I just wasn't inspired or had the time to try anything.

But with Halloween around the corner I had to do something fun for the holiday.

Each nail is something different - the thumb is a mummy, index is Frankenstein, middle is eyeballs, ring finger is a tombstone and pinky is a blood drip.

Fun and colourful

Thanks for reading! :)

Alpine Snow

My sister loves long white manicures via Kylie Jenner. She has become a style icon and a fashion icon for many women of all ages.

I really have been liking this nail trend of long simple colours. I find white is one of the hardest polishes to apply it never has a great consistancy either its too thick or too clumpy. 

A very unstated mani that catches the eye.

PS. Happy Canada Day to everyone celebrating. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Literally fours ago I started this blog, I'm very proud of it :) and myself for it's growth 

FIFA World Cup 2014 Nails

I had to do it. I had to support the biggest game in the world and my fav teams. Germany, Netherlands, Brazil and Argentina. I can't wait for kick off today, weeks of crazy futbol and even crazier fans. 

Are you following the games this year and what are your favorite teams?

Figuring Shit Out

My current state of affairs. 

Trying to figure out my future, finances and relaxing at the same time. Not a easy feat. To help I have my ice coffee handy and some light reading when my brain can no longer function. So much for a slow and simple day off. 

Wow literally two minutes later.

Bi-polar weather of Toronto hope your having a better day than me. Happy Tuesday.

Deborah Lippmann Best of Both World Pop Rock Mini Duet Set

I recently received this Deborah Lippmann set as a late birthday present. This is the pop rock duo set with a beautiful barbie cream pink and a sparkly nail polish that looks like the case. Its a cute funkt and colourful set. Deborah Lippmann is known for bold colours that last long and don't chip as fast as normal drug store nail polish would. 

My first thoughts when i tried the set was the colour was amazing i used two coats to reach full opacity. Where i work I constantly used my hands so that was the chip resistance test, I worked two shifts before I saw a chip compared to  drug store where it occurs within the first hour. 

Overall a cute set 

Decadence 2014

Last Thursday I went out to Guvernment to see David Guetta.

I always love a good rave and house music and Decadence 2014 was insanity!

It's basically a 5-6 hour rave you got the lights, fog, streamers and confetti. 

It's crazy and everyone was having a good time. 

David Guetta never disappoints and we we're right infront of the stage so David Guetta saw us going wild and pointed us out!! 

Overall a very good night and I wouldn't change it, and summer is just starting for me!

Below are some pictures of the night, thanks for reading.

Colourful and simple

My lunch for today. It's simple bright and colourful. 

A turkey wrap with edamame beans on the side, eating healthy doesn't have to be boring and tiresome.

Find fun ways to spice up your everyday meals, this is just one example.

Easter Watercolour Nails

I'm posting these very late but here are my Easter watercolour nails. I wanted to try something different from the normal baby chick and Easter egg designs that I normally would have. This is a really simple way to get a colourful look on your nails. I started with dotting 4 pastel colours and smudging it around with saran wrap to get the desired effect. The best part is it looks like you put a lot of effort into it and it's not messy. A win-win! I used a matte topcoat to change it up.

Toronto to the Bronx

 Over the weekend my family went down to the Bronx to deal with some family stuff, I won't get into details but I thought here is an opportunity to get some pictures of the trip there. I got most of these pics from my cousin, sadly I couldn't go because I had too much school left to do since it's my last week of winter semester (Cheers for the last week of school!).

Above is the Brooklyn bridge, it was a very dreary and sad looking day.

Origins super spot remover

In the beauty world this is said to be an amazing product that literally is a miracle worker.

The Origins Super Spot remover is said to help banish those unwanted acne for that gorgeous skin.

This product has a huge cult following and all that I've read online have only been positive things about it.

So what's my opinion?

It does the job! I was really curious about the hype and the results people said they saw, so I had to go out and try it out for myself. 

It's a very small bottle, in pictures it looks a lot bigger. It come out in a clear gel form.

When I bought this I didn't have any bumps or acne to test it on, so I hoped to get something so I could properly test it (Who would've though I would be hoping to get acne LOL)

Once it's on your skin it feels cool and tingles for a bit. Then you don't realize it's there. It drys and flakes, after about 20 minutes I wash it off. 

BEWARE: if your expecting it to work after one use your going to be disappointed. Use the product for 1-3 times a day for results.

I truly enjoyed this product and I'm happy to own it. You don't need to use a lot to get results and this bottle will last you for months to come. At $17.50 it seems expensive but for the amount it is worth the price.
