Trying out butter london...

Hello friends!

I am currently listening to Rod Stewart's Have I Told You Lately so excuse me if I come out with some emotional jibber-jabber during this post! Sappy love songs might only accentuate my feelings for this nail polish.

Butter's website describes this colour as, "Be a beacon to bad boys and the life of the party in dazzling limited edition “liquid metal” rose pink."

So beautiful-AH!
I painted my nails using only one coat, and look at the effect. Opaque, smooth and without a base or top coat it lasted from Friday to Monday. What else am I loving about this product? The 3 Free formulation! Butter doesn't use formaldehyde, toluene or DBP! :)
These polishes seem to have a real cult following. Bloggers and youtubers alike, more than willing to pay $17 for the infamous lacquer. Might pick up a couple more shifts at the restaurant and join the ranks! Bossy Boots is on my wish list!

Wanted to throw in a completely random product. Was looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth and bought this drink. Tastes just like grapefruit, less than $3 and was refreshing-yum! 

Unfortunately it had a lot of sugar in it :( Despite the cute packaging, eye catching colour and general deliciousness I won't repurchase.

Any recommendations for a girl trying to stay healthy while satisfying a sugar craving?

Thanks for reading, hope you are coping well with Monday!

Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer

I featured this in a haul in early July and haven't talked about it since. I love the idea of a two-in-one product. This claims to cover pimples while treating them. My skin usually reacts well to salicylic acid so I thought I'd give it a try, why not?

First of all...props to Clinique, the packaging dispenses a very small amount of concealer so you don't waste it. A little goes a long way! As a concealer it covers my spots quite well, blackheads and smaller pimples are easily covered and stay that way for 3-5 hours. However, I didn't find that it treated the acne itself. I was hoping after a few days spots would disappear...but no such luck. I ended up using facial masks to try dry out the pimple (sorry if this is getting too descriptive!) and then continued with normal skincare routine. Despite this I would still recommend it-the coverage is good, it didn't aggravate my skin, but it didn't provide an "acne solution". One more tip, do not try this for the under eye area! As you can see from the photos, it creases. Save this concealer for the spots! If you are interested you can purchase it on their website.

Here's a glimpse into my life! ^^^ As if beauty bloggers aren't overexposed enough. I don't instagram etc but I still wanted to show you a little part of my day. Here's three things to note... 1) Lately I've been using my agenda so much-with my new job it has really come in handy for organizing meetings, important dates, travel etc! 2) If you live in Canada go to the Super Store right now-this president's choice drink is too good (pomegranate cranberry sparkling fruit juice). 3) And lastly, one of my favourite youtubers, Lorraine Stanick! I've been watching her videos for years, if you haven't seen them yet check out her channel here!

That's all for now, hope you are having a good week! Feel free to leave me a comment :)
