Mint sorbet

I've had this polish for quite some time and i'll usually wear it throughout Spring and Summer. I thought it looked sad and lonely sitting in my drawer so I took it out and used it! Although it isn't quite a Winter looking color, does it really matter if I love the color?! Haha! :p

Instagram?

So I recently got an iPhone and I just got Instagram and its safe to say I'm going to become addicted to it so follow me if you'd like <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-jesschauhan="">

Want it: Lovestruck Floral Rush

Another perfume that I am dying to get my hands on! Vera Wang, girl, you have done it again! I smelled the original Lovestruck when it first was released and because Leighton Meester was the gal promoting this fragrance I hoped I loved it...That was not the case. THIS 2nd Lovestruck perfume had caught my eye at The Bay. I tend to wear more floral scents, and this is amazingness in a bottle!

Since I would never be able to describe the exact notes, I found them on a Website Here

The top accords include champagne, pink pepper and apricot blossom. Pink passion flower, marigold and white freesia are located in the heart, while the base notes include ambergris, musk and cashmere wood.

OOTD - faux

Top - Forever 21

Hoodie - Gray Talula hoodie

Jacket - Pleather jacket from Guess

Jeans - Forever 21

So I didn't realize how awkward I look...Ugh so ashamed of my selfies ahha!! Kidding, I like doing OOTD posts for you guys :) Side note - my hair is getting longer again!!!!!1

New Series: TOPSHOP Wish List

Welcome my fellow readers! I thought it would be fun to add a new series, more fashion related, to my blog! I actually think that these will be my favorite kinds of posts to write because I'll get to chat to you about trends, seasonal items,and shops which I think are great places to get style items from. Since TOPSHOP just opened a location in Vancouver, and seeing as how I was quickly overwhelmed by the amazing-ness of the store, I thought it would be the perfect time to make a list of things I want. The prices in TOPSHOP are a bit pricey but from what i've heard (From Youtbers & Bloggers) the quality is great. 

1. PETITE LONG SLEEVE CROP TEE
Because Winter is still here I think it's essential to keep warm. Though this is a cropped shirt, there would be endless ways of styling it and it would also make a great transitional piece for Spring

2. PETITE EAGLE ARMY JACKET
Army is a trend that has came and gone several times throughout the evolution of fashion. I believe the last time I wore anything army was in 2006...Crazy huh? Well this jacket not only brings back the trend, but it's a great layering piece as well and looks like it would give an exceptional amount of warmth. The added spike studs along the shoulder are a total bonus.

3. GEEK TEE
Graphic tee's, anything with bold or artsy print will never go out of style. This is especially cute because of the rolled sleeves wich kinda make it look a bit bad-ass contrasting to the white bold GEEK print. I'm also a sucker for a deep red or oxblood colored anything!

4. CONE STUD CAMO JACKET

This khaki green jacket looks durable and again, easy to wear! With some leggings/black skinnies and some gold accessories & sleek hair you could dress up this jacket a lot!  

5. RAGGED BEANIE BY THE RAGGED PRIEST

I've kinda been obsessed with beanies. I don't many but I see them EVERYWHERE! This one is very cool and rebel-esque and I think it would be perfect and ideal for cold cold cities...i.e. Vancity! 

What are pieces from TOPSHOP that you've been dying to get?

Eye shadow look

I thought you guys would enjoy what look i've been wearing on my eyes lately so here it is in 4 easy steps!

* I used the original Naked palette and the Naked Basics so i'll be referring to those shadows

Steps:
1. I mixed Naked and Naked 2 and applied that all over my lids

2. I then mixed Buck and Faint with a fluffy blending brush and with a light hand, applied that to my outer corner (outer 'V') and half way thought my crease

3. I took Walk of Shame and Foxy and applied that as my inner corner highlight and applied it also to the very inner part of my lids

4. I then took a really dense eye shadow brush and blended all around the edges so that the harsh lines looked faded

Apply eyeliner and mascara and c'est fini!!

Try it out and leave a picture for me to see? :)

Review: Ciate Sequin Manicure Kit

I recently tried out the Ciate Sequin Nail Manicure that I received as a birthday present. It comes with a pot of glitter sequins, a brush to remove excess sequins and the top coat/glue. So basically it turned out better then I had expected, thought I do need to perfect my technique because there was SUCH a crazy amount of glitter on my nails. It lasted for about 5 days before I saw major chipping, which is really really good! There are so many types of designs and ways to use these sequins (using a few or making cool shapes).

You could easily go to Micheals or any other craft store and purchase more glitter/sequins or what ever pleases you, and go to the drugstore and buy a super awesome topcoat and get the same effect for possibily a cheaper price. I'll possibly be purchasing different glitters and textures to do a similar look so keep your eyes pealed for that!

Have you ever tried anything like this with your nails? If so, how did you do it?!

Review: fresh Sugar Lip Balms

Best lip balms ever? I think so! Being a Sephora beauty insider there are special perks such as getting certain sample/mini products when you reach 100 points, 500 points or on your birthday. This year I received a fresh Sugar lips lip balm minis! They are so cute and tiny! They are also so smooth and buttery! Around the holiday season they had a gift set or 2 but a full size for one of these is 26$ Canadian. Quite expensive for a lip balm, I know! They do last quite a long time, and although you could find other alternatives such as a Burts Bee's tints lip balm or a Baby lips chapstick the quality would not compare. They  have 7 types of Lip care treatment balm that you can have a look at here. Most of their other products are sold at Sephora, but if you have a Beauty Insider card and its close to your birthday or it just passed, I would highly recommend you go to Sephora to pick up your little gift! 

Have you tried any of the fresh products? What did you think about them?!

Review: TOPSHOP Lip Stick

I recently went to TOPSHOP for the first time and must I say, walking through that store is an experience! Honestly, I just wanted to buy every damn thing. One of the things I loved about it is that there was a whole beauty section. I swear I had 100 swatches of lip colors by the time I walked out of there! 

The color I bought was a lipstick in Clueless. Its a sick lipstick if that makes sense. The consistency is buttery and smooth like a lip balm. The pigmentation is buildable but vibrant. I've wanted a hot hot pink for a really long time now and i really love this lip color for my skin tone. There's a pretty large rang of colors and products to choose from. Clueless is a very hot pink but it has some purpley/violet undertones to it. I would suggest wearing a nude or pink lip liner underneath to enhance the staying power. But overall I love this color!! I'll be sure to pink some more up when I go back! 

Do you guys wear lip liners a lot & where are your favorite ones from? And have you tried TOPSHOP makeup?

Review: Benefit They're Real Mascara

Benefit's latest mascara, "They're Real!" was introduced in Fall 2012. I was sceptical to try this mascara because a couple years ago I had tried the "Big Fatty Mascara" and I was not a hug fan of it. After hearing Youtubers such as Tiffany D rave about this mascara I knew I had to try it out. When I had purchased my Sephora Mascara Sampler in December this was one on the mascaras included, and I’m happy to say this product IS worth its hype!

It not only lengthens my lashes but give tons of volume!  You can get up to 2 coats without it looking clumpy, the staying power is amazing and it’s not super difficult to take off. The wand is plastic and the spikes wrap around the whole want, including the tip (look closely at the photo bellow). I definitely give this mascara an 8/10. Why not 10? I have a personal preference of non-plastic wands and I also like more lengthening mascara opposed to volumizing. I still think this mascara is pretty amazing and would totally purchase the full size!

Left eyelashes with They're Real Mascara, Right eyelashes are my natural lashes!

Note: In the pictures above I did not use an eyelash curler

Have you guys tried this mascara or any other from Benefit? What did you think?

OOTN

Last weekend I went to a friends Birthday part and this, my friends, is what I wore. I've really been loving parting my hair in the middle. It's basically inspired by all the Kardashian/Jenner sisters because they all have middle parts so I thought, why the heck not!!

Review: Forever21 Lipsticks

So it’s safe to say that this month there will be TONS of beauty reviews. I've been loving so many products lately its unbelievable! To kick of a review I thought I would make a post about the underdogs of lipsticks from Forever 21. These lipsticks retail for $3.80 in Canada. There isn't a very definite selection and it’s hard to even see the colors of the lipsticks in the package. The gold packaging may appear very pretty but it’s cheap and plastic-y. The tubes are a bit shorter then a MAC lipstick but all that being said....THEY ARE AMAZING!

Seriously guys, the pigmentation and staying power of these lipsticks are incredible! You may need to reapply them once or twice throughout the night but for a very cheap lipstick what are you really expecting anyways?! The names of the colors I own shown below are Magenta and Rose. I looked up the color selection of their lipsticks online and there are 5 Shimmering Lipsticks which includes the colors Magenta, Cherry, Rose, Light Pink and Neutral. There are also 2 Matte Lipsticks in Rose and Pink. (I believe both of the lipsticks I own are from the Shimmering Lipstick shades) There are other types of lipsticks that you can check out here.

These lipsticks are so affordable that it is not hard for me to walk into a Forever 21 and not check them out. I suggest if you are on a budget and like to try new products to get them! Super affordable and they go on smooth and butter-y and are super long wearing, especially if you wear a lip liner underneath!

(Top - Magenta, Bottom - Rose)

Have you tried the lipsticks from Forever 21? Or any other of they're beauty products? Be sure to let me know! :)

Naked Basics First Impression

SO, I did it. I bought it! I was debating whether to get the Naked 2 or Basics. I ended up buying this one because, A. I still have plenty of my warm shimmery Naked palette left and B. The basics was cheaper. Now, you could probably go to another (million) blogs with amazing lighting and swatches but here are my horrid swatches anyways :)

The 1st thing I really really like how I don't own any of these colors! Haha All the colors are smooth and velvety, almost like butter. Seriously amazing quality guys! The color I will probably get the most wear out of i'm guessing would be Tease. It's similar to Buck from the original Naked palette but a bit cooler. This palette in general, and in my opinion are cooler tones just as the Naked 2 are. I still love all these colors regardless of warm or cool tones.

I believe this palette was 32$ (Canadian of course) And I think it was a total bang for my buck! (Get it? Buck? like the color I like the most? Harharhar) Especially since I love any Matte finish makeup.

Do you think it's work the money to buy the Basics if you have the original or the 2nd? What do you think about it in general?

New Year Resolutions & Hello 2013

I've literally been thinking about resolutions for ages I feel like. Every year that little voice in your head tells you "this year will be different, you will be more productive and not listen to those irrelevant people" Except every year we don't listen to the voice because its virtually impossible to do all those things and still be HUMAN. I guess i'll list my 3 resolutions for this year (I usually have 3)

 1. TAKE RISKS

Okay, this may sound typical, but I really plan to follow through with this resolution this year. I want to take risks fashion wise, beauty wise, with my appearance with my life. I want to be a risk taker this year.

 2. DON'T MAKE EFFORT ON THOSE WHO DON'T TOWARDS YOU

That was a bit confusing...hahah. So basically, I always feel as if I'm the person to reach out and speak to distant friends or just friends in general. I've realized this past year "If its meant to be, it'll be" I can't keep wasting time on making effort on those who could care less about me.

 3. MAKE PROGRESS

My self goals include, saving for a destination trip, having fun in school and to please everyone (a bit far fetched and unreachable the last one I realize) I really want to focus on reaching future goals. I try too hard all the time to make things work out and I haven't noticed a great deal of change.

What's your resolution?
