Lumiere Cosmetics Review

6:22 AM


"Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics believe there is a beauty in all of us, and each of us adorns our own unique qualities.
Our mineral cosmetics are formulated to simply enhance the finest of our features and assist with those areas we like the least"

Lumiere Cosmetics are newer to me so I was very pleased to be able to do this review! I don't have a lot of experience with mineral makeup products so this was a new challenge I was super happy to do! After peaking around their website I was so intrigued and wanted to try almost everything they have. I received some samples of eye shadow,blush and foundation!

This was shipped so quickly, I was surprised to see it in my mail box so fast. Got to love quick shipping!!

FOUNDATION

Light skin with cool pink/blue undertones
I had actually emailed in a photo and they matched it to the best they could and wow it was seriously really accurate! I was really impressed. It is so hard for me to find my perfect color, it was a nice change to just have the perfect color without searching for it.

Even the names just sound nice and soft!
Okay I have used L'oreal mineral makeup before but honestly that isn't even comparable to Lumiere's foundation. This is such a natural light formula, the finish is gorgeous! I still use my concealer prior but this does the job perfectly for the rest of my skin. I think the coverage is really light but it seriously does wonders like a medium coverage foundation would.
This is really perfect to use when you are in a hurry instead of liquid foundation that I find to be a pain trying to blend sometimes. This leaves a nice matte finish rather then more greasy or dewy if you want to put it nicely!

EYE SHADOW

Sublime is brownish bronze color with a matte finish for a dark sultry look.

Can I say GORGEOUS!? I absolutely LOVE a good brown shade of shadow. I recently used this for my shadow for my work's Christmas party and I fell in love with it. I even got a compliment on my eyes =D
I was a little scared to use a loose shadow (Can you believe I never really have?) but it was really quite easy once you played around with it a couple times. 

Intrigued is a combination of plummy gray loaded with diamond sparkles.

Diamond sparkles, sounds like something every girl can use! I think this would be my favorite gray I have ever used, very pretty.

Magnificent royal purple,edging on the blue side of the spectrum,and gorgeous contouring any other shades you may already have. 

WHOA! BEAUTIFUL!! This purple is stunning! I could look at it all day long, I really love this color. It is something I might not use as often but when I do I think "wow why didn't  I use this yesterday?" LOVE IT!

BLUSH

"AUTUMN" Blush
A perfect subtle blend of pink and rose tones.

I am really loving blush lately and not too be a broken record but a light pink is one of my favorites!

"SWEET CHERUB" 
Creamy Nude pink with a soft brown undertone and slight gold shimmer.

LOVE!


Top half is without flash and bottom is with flash.
Please forgive the bad lighting, I have been trying to get some decent photos of this post for a week now and the lack of sun is not working with me at ALL. These swatches do nothing for the actual pigmentation of these colors! I will be updating this when I get some better light outside!

Over all I would recommend any of these products to anyone looking to try mineral makeup, or some good products because I really don't think you will be disappointed. The color selection is amazing, they have everything from makeup to hair care to different makeup tools. I need to try their glosses and gel liners next! I really am impressed!The customer service is exceptional as well their prices are affordable. I will defiantly be making a purchase from them in the near future.

Eco-Emi

Eco-Emi - Wish it was in Canada!!

1:00 AM

I found out about Eco-Emi from watching Nessajane021's (one of my fav Youtubers =D She's very nice and tweets back!) videos on her monthly subscription of natural,organic,green and cruelty free products. Sadly this is only available in the US but maybe if I do some searching I will find something similar in Canada?
I don't know if it's just me but I am over whelmed with all the different organic and natural, etc products out there I really never know what too choose. As well I am not as up for just testing out everything since they are usually more costly =/
So this monthly subscription seems really amazing to me and am always excited to see what she gets!
Here are the 2 months if you haven't seen them yet....
(For some reason I couldn't get the videos to pop up in the search in the videos from Youtube so I have to have a link =/  but check them out!)

Annabelle

Marcelle&Annabell Haul

6:25 AM

I was so lucky when my blogging friend Gaby mentioned to me she was going to a warehouse sale in her area and would pick up a couple things if I was interested and just pay her back. HELL YEAH I was interested! I really haven't tried enough Annabelle or Marcelle products and was very excited she would pick some things out! I love her taste so I knew whatever she would pick out would suite me!
You can click HERE & HERE to see her past items she had picked up.
I REALLY wish I could go to one of these sales, they sound like a lot of fun and good prices!!

Here is what I got =D =D


 When I opened my mail that day I was seriously super excited! I don't know why but I really like when other people pick out things for me, it just might be something I might not have thought of trying before and clearly I have a slight obsession with trying new products & makeup!



 I am such a mascara junkie, I need to show a post of all my mascaras I have OPEN and randomly using, it's ridiculous!!! So these are very fun to test out!

*MARCELLE Volume Precision Mascara
*MARCELLE  Lash Extreme
*MARCELLE Power Volume Mascara (This one is my fav so far!)

I haven't gave them all a good go yet so I am not too sure on the other 2 just yet, I like to give them a good few uses before I really judge them.

More lip gloss? Yes please! This is also another ridiculous obsession for me, but I like glossy lips!

*ANNABELLE LE GLOSS in Missy Miss
*ANNABELLE LipTint in Coral Crush (this is gorgeous & decently moisturizing!)
*ANNABELLE LE GLOSS in Baby Doll
I tired to take a picture of these glosses but the cloudy weather this weekend really didn't show the true colors so I will update that when I can! I LOVE all of these, I use them daily. I think this lip gloss is my new fav, and I cannot find it around here =/

I had really never heard about this too much until Gaby mentioned it and I was sold on trying it! 

*MARCELLE Essentials Purity Soothing Cleansing Water

This is such a convenient, " A soothing & refreshing cleansing water that gently cleanses and tones the skin,while removing eye makeup. The no rinse formula micro emulsifies impurities without irritating the skin. Effective for long wearing and waterproof mascara."
Sounds perfect hey? I have been using it on my face only, and love it! I haven't tried it yet on my eyes but I will soon!

I am always always trying blushes and bronzers as well could own a million different brown eye shadows so this is perfect!

I love all of these! I tried to take some swatches but honestly I just don't think they are useful unless I can have some natural day light =( but I will try to get those to update this as well!

 
*MARCELLE Velvety Powder Blush in Just Blush

*MARCELLE Wet & Dry Eye Shadow Duo in Tiramisu

* MARCELLE  Bronzing Pressed Powder in Tropical Bronze


And that is my Marcelle & Annabelle Haul =D Thanks so much to you Gaby for picking these up for me!! We totally do not have cool warehouse sales or even a Marcelle around here =(
Have you had a chance to try any of these?

I like skin care products and perfume, and shadow and mascara and lip gloss lol so I guess I am usually pretty happy. I know it can't be perfect every month but it's really quite fun when you do get this little gift every month!

Annabelle

No I will NOT put these down!

6:28 AM


AND YOU CANT MAKE ME!!
I have been using these like crazy since the day I got them and I just thought I would share my new loves!!


*Annabelle LE GLOSS in Baby Doll
*Annabelle LE GLOSS in Missy Miss

*PINK Sweet & Flirty
&
PINK Pretty & Pure

I know these are really old perfumes but I don't have a Victoria Secret in my city and I recently went to a mall out town with a Victoria Secret and fell in LOVE with these scents!!They are light and sweet/fruity my fav!
The glosses are new to me as well, and I seriously use them like 8 times a day! They are such gorgeous colors but not too pigmented on your lips as well do stay on since they have a SLIGHT thicker feel to them.
What is the latest favorite you have?

Blink 182

Favorite Song Of the Month!

12:01 AM

It's funny because I didn't really have Blink ( I feel weird calling them Blink 182 ! ) in my life for years AND YEARS! 8 to be exact lol. And now it is all I talk about it seems like lol. but I am a fan so what can I say! <--- do those last words look familiar to anyone ? =) ?I love TRAVIS!

Ok I will shut it and here is the newest song I am loving off of their Neighborhoods Album

Wishing Well


Been gone a long time
I kinda lost my way, I can't find it
And I caught a short ride
To the grave and back this season
I can try to get by
But every time I start to panic
I'm a little bit shy
A bit strange and a little bit manic

La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da[x2]

I went to a wishing well, I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks, and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart, had fun in the promised land

On the narrowing line, what a way to sort my troubles
In a very short time, gonna pop, better duck and cover
Can you figure me out? I got caught like a little kid stealing
Did I say it too loud? A bit hard or a little misleading
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da[x2]

I went to a wishing well, I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart, had fun in the promised land

La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da[x2]

I went to a wishing well, I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
Made its way through my heart, had fun in the promised land

I went to a wishing well, I sank to the ocean floor
Cut up by sharper rocks and washed up along the shore
I reached for a shooting star, it burned a hole through my hand
