OOTD #22: The Jersey

Hey girls,

Hope you all had a wonderfull summer. It wasn't the best here in Montreal but we did the best with what we had. I'm not someone who wears a lot of dresses when comes the summer. I still appreciate my jeans and t-shirt. This is a look I wore a lot during the summer. It was also work appropriate and since the air conditioning is always at full blast at work I didn't get cold or anything like that.

 

 

Jeans: H&M
Top: H&M
Watch Micheal Kors

I love pairing all this with a really simple pair of sandals.

OOTD #21: Justin Timberlake's concert

Hey girls,

I went to Justin's concert a couple of weeks ago. IT WAS AMAZING by the way if you were wondering. I waited a year to finally see him. His shows were reported here in Montreal and let me tell you it was worth every second I had to wait. This was a brief review and it doesn't make justice to the actual show. Anyways I just wanted to show you girls what I decided to wear that evening. Of course I choose to wear black and white to try and stay into the theme of the concert. I went with my sister and she was so trilled that I choose her to come with me knowing all my friends loves him. I didn't take that many pictures of the actual concert but I certainly didn't forget to make pictures of my outfit for you girls.

Products I keep a backup of.

Hey girls,

I didn't really mean to post another blogpost a month after the last one but I got super busy with work. Today I want to show you the products I always keep a backup of. It's actually more like necessity products that we all use everyday for good hygiene.

The first product is my toothpaste. I always use the Colgate sensitive pro-relief whitening toothpaste. I have an addiction to pepsi. My teeth got really sensitive over the years so that's why I have to use this one. It's a really great one. If you find you only have one teeth that's making you unconfortable you can only take a little and rub some in there. As for the whitening part, it actually works wonders.

The second one is my soap. I use the St-Yves Iatmeal and Shea Butter hydrating body wash. I have really dry skin. Problem prone skin however you want to call it. I have tendencies to have eczema. It's really the only one who wasn't prescribed by a doctor that can keep my eczema under control and also keeps my skin really smooth.

Along with that I use the lotion that comes with it. It's the St-Yves Oatmeal and Shea Butter lotion. It's really the best I've used in so long. It doesn't let your skin feeling greasy, no residue and it absorbs so fast into the skin. It doesn't have a strong scent also which I like. 

I also keep backups of my favorite deodorant. The secret Outlast. It's also the only one that doesn't irritate my skin. I used to make really bad rashes with other brands. The scents I always get are the completely clean and the protecting powder.

I guess we can also call this blog post my hygiene routine.

Kérastase: Level 2

Hey girls,

I had another opportunity to go to one of the courses offered by Kérastase. I really do love them and honestly, I would go back to school if there would be a school where you would learn all about the professional hair products. It's so much fun.

The course I had this time was the level 2. It's all about the treatments. It was a fun course. Some of them I never even knew the texture of them because they come in sealed package in the salon. 

There are some treatments you can bring at home and some of them to do in the salon. It was really informative. Plus the way the book is made you can't miss anything. Everything you need to know is there. It's not a long session because compared to the level 1 we only go in deep about the treatments so it's only about not even half of the products and we got to try some of them after the course.

They treat us so well at L'Oréal. Everything is just so well organized.

Nail Art #12: You're so square!

Hey girls, 

I'm back! I'm back with a nail art post for you girls. Like you know I get my nails done. I'm not quite ready to go back to my natural nails yet. After my stiletto frenzy, I actually took off my gel nails for a couple of months. It wasn't because my nails were damaged like not at all. My own nails are pretty strong, actually they are strong. The only reason why I stopped is because my nail technician stopped working since she got pregnant. 

It's only at my birthday that I finally went back to do my nails. Unfortunately, I couldn't go back to doing stiletto nails because none of the other nail technician did them the way I wanted and believe me I'm not just saying it I actually tried the others. 

I did my nails in the square shape. To be honest with you girls, I don't really like it. I just find it to be really simple. Yes, I do always wear black and white well most of the time at least but when it comes to my nails, I like them when they stand out to the point where it's almost the only thing you see. But oh well, I still do my flashy pinks because this is just what I love. Square is a nice shape but I do miss my stilettos. 

Like you can see I really want to be different.

Nail Art #11: The Stiletto Perfection

P.S.: I love pink. :) 

Kérastase: Level 1

Hey girls,

For those of you who don't know yet or have been following me for not that long, I work in a hair salon. I do not do hair or anything like that. I'm actually a receptionnist and I also sell professional hair products. I've been there for a year and a couple of months. I really do love my job. 

The salon I work at is one of the few salons where you can find Kérastase products. They are a brand who are very selective when it comes to choosing where they want their products to be sold. 

Since I have this opportunity, I also have the chance to go to the courses they give once in a while at the l'Oreal head office downtown. 

The first one is level 1. They talk to you about the brand. The idea behind it and the history. In another part of the course, they basically show you all of the products one by one so you can see them feel them or even smell them. 

As for my experience, I really loved it. Even if I worked there for a year before having the opportunity to go, I still learn a lot of things. It was worth it. These products sell themselves but it's always nice to give some kind of extra information. 

 

If you want to learn more about the brand you should check out the website: www.kerastase.ca

My everyday makeup routine

I thought I would mention some of my favorite products of 2013 by showing you my everyday makeup routine. I can do my makeup in between five and ten minutes. It's really meant to have a fresh face and not look tired.

The first one I really love is my moisturizer. I really love the Biotherm Pure-fect skin. I love how it doesn't leave any residue on my face and It's a good primer to my foundation. It's meant to leave your face matte. 

My second favorite item is my Revlon colorstay foundation. This liquid foundation is the best I have ever tried. It stays on my face all day. For some of you who have been following me for a while now know that I have super oily skin. I'm a shine ball. I always have to retouch. And the color match is perfect for me. I use the color caramel. I had to go to the States to find my color and I'm still searching for it here. So far not good. I only have waltmart left. Otherwise I'm doomed. 

My favorite concealer is Maybelline's Fit Me in #30 in cafe. Again, it stays all day and the color matches and that's all I need. 

My favorite liquid eyeliner is L'oreal's The Super Slim eyeliner. It's just really easy for me to do my winged eye whenever I'm in a rush. 

My favorite blush is my mac blush in the color Sunbasque. It leaves a lovely peach copper I dont even know how to describe it color on the cheeks. I'm in love with the glow it gives me. 

Finally, my favorite mascara has to be my L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black. I just love it my lashes are jet black, fuller and even if it's not that easy to remove it's totally worth it. 

This is what my makeup looks like almost everyday.

PS.: Happy New Year!!
