My New MAC lipstick.

I actually had this lipstick since the beginning of the year. I bought it around New Years. It was really an inpulse buy only because I never spent that much money on only one lipstick. I know what you guys are going to say I already own MAC lipsticks but this time I actually bought them from Canada. (Everything here is always more expensive) But seriously, i was looking for a dark matte coloured lipstick for a while, preferably brown because it's just so damn gorgeous. Since the NYC Mohagany lipstick I bought last year I wasn't able to find one at the drugstore. Every brown lipstick I could find were either sheer, not matte or just considered a nude for my skin tone. After all of this research, I thought about buying online, but that plan backfired pretty quick. The cost of one lipstick plus shipping fees is just one big ridiculous idea. Let's not forget about the taxes too. The trend was out and even though I'm pretty late on it, I really want to try it. 

The lipstick I bought from MAC is called Antique Velvet. It is is the matte family. It's a really rich and creamy brown color, really opaque and I don't have to pass over my lips a thousand times to get the color you see in the tube. The only downside is ( you guys probably know what I'm going to say right now) that it does dry out my lips the longer a wear it but it does have a great staying power on my lips. I did use a lipliner to line my lips before hand. I used the Revlon Colorstay lipliner in the color Chocolate. 

Fall is coming you guys, well it's pretty much already here and it's a really nice color to rock in the next few months.

Life Update: Where Have I Been?

Hey everyone,

Hope you guys are still around. I don't even know when was the last time I was on here talking to you but I do know that it's been a while. This won't be a long blog post because there is only one main reason why I haven't been here for the longest time and it's because I didn't have a computer not even a laptop. I know there was always the blogger app on my phone but it's so not convenient. It's really hard writing a whole blog post from a phone. I also kind of took a break from everything at the same time. I didn't spend a lot of time on Bloglovin or even on other social media.

I'm really hoping you guys are still around because I did miss this part of my life. Sharing what I know and love was kind of fun. I'm still on all of the same social media where I used to be I'm still around I just want you guys to see more of me. 

Talk to you soon!

Redken Triple Take 32

There's a new hairspray in town. Redken hairsprays are knowned to hold, not be sticky and smell great. This one is no exception. The New Redken Triple Take 32 is all of the above. 

It is considered an extreme high hold hairspray. Yes it does hold more then the Control Addict 28 from the same brand but why? Why would clients need a hairspray that would hold more when on top of everything the brand already offers something that holds all day? Because this product is somehow different. Yes you can use it for its extreme high hold, but it was actually meant for clients who want to extend their blow dry. What so they mean by that? Example; in our Salon we have clients who come every week to get their hair washed and set and they need a lot of hairspray (or that's what they think) to make sure that their blow dries will last as long as possible. This is what the Redken Triple Take 32 is for. To make sure that when your are done with your pampering your hair will feel like you've just done it days and days after. You can add as much product as you want your hair won't feel sticky and it won't freeze. 

Little anecdote; this bottle has a different tip. Why? Just in case one of them blocks you still have two to work with!

Winter Wedding Essentials

Hey everyone!

We had our first snow a few weeks ago and it just got me daydreaming. Trees all covered in snow, footprints; Winter season is upon us. The scenery is just always amazing and every year I feel like it's the first snow I ever saw. All of those details got me thinking about fairytale winter weddings who are coming soon and very quickly I must say. These few centimeters we had inspired me to list my Winter Weddings Essentials. ( Just so you know, as I'm writing those lines, the few snowflakes we had, are already gone! Ughhh! ) 

First things first, a great tailored tuxedo is always a must. I came across this website called The Black Tux ( www.theblacktux.com ). Every men needs a tux on this big event. The husband to be, the groomsmen all the way down to the guests. What is this website about anyways? They offer everything a man might need. They offer a complete collection of different suits. From tuxes, all the way down to cufflinks and studs. If you or your man are always last minute, it's always good to know that there is such an affordable and reliable website for your tuxedo rental. You can make your own style too. Pair a suit with whatever shoes you would prefer for that outfit that will be so special for you on that day. You can select you shirt, vest, shoes, cufflinks, etc. 

Second, a must have of mine is the perfect hair accessory for the bride. A winter look isn't complete without the perfect accessories. I would definitely choose a hair piece with some kind of snowflakes in the color scheme of your choice. It is so simple, but the small details do make a difference. We always tend to go for the obvious white or silver hair pieces. Why not think outside the box a little? For example, if your color scheme is a nice winter blue, why not have a crown or little hair studs of the same color. People do remember the small details more than whatever is almost throwned in their faces. 

Third but not least, I thought I would share a more fun winter wedding essential. Let's face it, winter weddings weren't always a thing. They only got popular over the last few years or so because come on winter can be so unpredictable, but there is also the oh so cozy side of winter that almost everyone loves. So instead of giving away flip flops when the dancing is at an all time high, you can trade them for slippers. Why not make your own signature wedding drink that involves hot chocolate mixed with Baileys. Last, why not throw snowflakes confetti at the bride and groom while they have their first dance as a married couple. I guest that was three! 

This is it for my winter wedding essentials. Make sure to take a look at The Black Tux website for your tuxedo needs. I think it's worth it!

What's New? : Invisibobble®

Hey girls, 

How are you girls doing? Me pretty damn fine. Let's just get right into it. You girls remember that I work in a hair salon. One of the many reps we have, came a few weeks ago to show us a new innovative accessory to see if we would be interested to sell it in our Salon. Now, the head office already knew about the product but since we ( and by we I mean the other receptionists and me) are the ones on the field, and we are more likely to know if a product have been already asked for or simply if we think it's something that would sell. 

That day, she came and showed us the Invisibobble®. It is a new innovative accessory that may not change your life completely, but may improve it. 

So what is it anyways? It's a hair tie ( in a more common way of saying it). I don't remember everything the rep said but if we look on their official website the Invisibobble® 

• Doesn't leave a kink in your hair,

• Is a revolutionary styling tool,

• Is non-soaking,

• Avoids split ends and hair breakage,

• Avoids headaches,

• Doesn't tug or pulls on your hair,

• Has a strong hold,

• Is antiallergic, 

• Is compatible with all hair types, 

We finally decided to get them, mostly because a few people asked for them but also because it's just awesome. It comes in various colors but we got the ones from the breast cancer awareness collection and they are PINK! The rep told us what people loved most about it, was because they could tie their hair up in a ponytail remove it a few hours later and not have a single trace. 

P.S.: If you feel like your Invisibobble® is getting a little loose or stretched out, all you have to do is heat it up with a blow dryer and it will go back to it's original form. Also, don't be fooled by the many copies out there. The real ones comes in pack of three for 10$ approximately and are made from polyurethane.
