Review: Hard Candy Glamoflauge concealer

Meet my new favourite concealer.

HARD CANDY

Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer has a lot going for it, with all the "ooohs" and "aaaahs" from the beauty community since it's initial release everyone was excited to see a concealer heavy weight in the drugstore.

Boasting tattoo worthy coverage and a creamy formulation I was eager to jump in and try this one out for myself. Having gone through a slew of concealers (almost all of the MAC ones, Revlon, Almay, Maybelline) there were very few that performed exceptionally well to hold a semi-permanent spot in my top makeup drawer (most used items). But this one tube might change it all....

OPEN: GlymmBox... Jan 2012

The first Glymmbox for 2012 arrived at my doorstep a few days ago and as usual, I was curious to see what goodies awaited testing for this month. This is my third Glymm beauty box and I have been generally pleased so far with the selection though I have yet to be floored by a particular box yet!

Let's see what hopefuls are inside January's box....

 

A few quick points on "beauty boxes" and Glymm Box in general.

Available in Canada.

• This is a "subscription" service (like you would a magazine)
• $10/month (+ tax) + free shipping per month 
• Receive a specially curated box of deluxe sized beauty samples (often times there is at least one full sized product!)
• Products are chosen based on your initial preference survey but it's a box of surprises every single month!
• Glymm offers points for each box purchased (more points if you refer friends) which can be redeemed for products on their website.

That's the brief but if you want more details on Glymm as a service, 

you can drop by their website HERE.

Demo: Sweet Valentine Glitter Gradation Nails

Hello Everybody,

I've got a sweet simple and beautiful nail look to share with you. If you're not one to get too crazy with your digits but want something fun and different then this will be the perfect style to try out.

The best part? 
It's super easy to achieve!

This look was inspired by this absolutely adorable nail set I purchased a few weeks ago from Etude House... I've never had the patience to do many fancy nail designs but this set made it a snap to get glitterlicious nails (ok, so I'm sure that's not really a word....)

Scent: Friction by FCUK

..feminine & hypnotic – a tantalizing mix of fruity florals and velvety coconut penetrates the senses and leaves him begging for more...

 FRICTION

 by FCUK

Advertised as a seriously sexy perfume, Friction hit me a little unexpected but in a very good way... for one thing I was unaware that the promo image for Friction was Lindsay Lohan.

FOTD: Winter berries

Decided to wear a purple eye look today and thought I'd pair it with a berry lippie, I added things here and there and this is what ended up happening...
