Avon Stardust Nail Enamel Review & Swatches

I have a little bit of a glitter nail polish obsession. So, when Avon’s new Stardust Nail Enamel arrived I couldn’t wait to test it out. If you’re also a fan of sparkly nails, you’ll know that it’s hard to find polish that really shows up the way you want it too. Some are too sparse and are better used as a top coat and some take about ten coats to show up. But then you come across some that perform exactly the way you hoped they would or even better and such was the case with new Avon Stardust.

The lineup comes in Cherry Dazzler, Crystallized Pink, Jewel Blue, Silver Crystals and Black Sequins. Personally, I love them all but my favourites would have to be the light pink and black. The Black Sequins look like a star covered sky, and the Crystallized Pink looks like pixie dust. You only need two coats and your nails are fully covered. I also find that the colour lasts quite a while without fading or chipping.

Check out the swatches below and let me know if this is a collection you’ll be checking out!

TIFF Beauty Highlights

There were so many great red carpet moments during this year’s TIFF and we couldn’t wait to highlight three of our favourite beauty looks. Amanda Seyfried, Kate Bosworth and Cara Delevingne all had standout looks that we can’t wait to recreate.

1. Amanda Seyfriend: This braid is everything. Plus, her makeup is flawless. We’ll definitely be trying this look and the best part is, although the hair may look complicated it’s actually pretty easy to master. Part hair slightly to the side, leave some hair at the back outside of the braids. Start with one side and french braid to the back. Then, do the same on the other side. Create a bun with the leftover ends. To really nail this look, add some clip-in extensions to help you get a sufficient amount of hair in both areas of the hair style.

2. Kate Bosworth: We love this sleek style on Kate. It’s such a unique style and we hope we’re able to recreate this look, but it looks a little tricky. Try slicking hair back to a smooth low pony. Keep two small sections out at your ears. Tightly twist each side and secure in the centre with a clear elastic. Take out the low pony and voila!

3. Cara Delevingne: There’s a reason she’s the hottest model in the world right now. Check out that gaze! We can’t wait to recreate this sexy siren look with a smokey eye, red pout and using some old-fashion hair rollers to achieve this tousled hair look. Loving this green dress on her as well!

Pink the Town Must Haves – September Beauty Edition

must haves pink the town

Whenever I discover an amazing new product I just have to tell everyone I know about it. Today, I’m featuring some of my fav new finds and I’m excited to see if you’ve tried them yet or if you plan to try them after reading this.

Let’s get started!

You know that feeling when you discover a new product and you can’t imagine how you survived without it? That’s exactly how I felt when I discovered the Micro-Pedi. I visited the Essentials Lounge at TIFF last week and they tried it on me. Basically, if you’re looking to have feet that feel baby soft, you’re going to want this product. It’s available at Shoppers Drug Mart and it’s my new favourite thing ever. You no longer have to go for a pedicure every time you want super soft feet. It’s battery-powered and works in seconds to slough off dry skin. It’s also more gentle then a razor and won’t cut your heels or take too much off, leaving skin feeling sensitive. I really can’t recommend this thing enough. Just try it for yourself and thank me later.

How did it take this long for a mascara brand to make a brush in this shape? New Lancome Grandiose is by far the easiest mascara we have ever applied. The curve in the brush makes it possible to get every single lash and the separation is amazing. The brush also works great for lower lashes too. I like a mascara that applies alot of black but also has good separation and this does both wonderfully. Plus, the bottle is really beautiful.

Reveal by Calvin Klein just launched with a spicy new ad campaign and a publicity stunt that included an intimate live bedroom scene acted out by models in the Hudson’s Bay windows. The thing I like most about the new fragrance is that while it’s sexy enough for date night, it’s not too overpowering so it still works great on a day-to-day basis. It’s definitely made it’s way into my signature fragrance rotation.

I’m a girl that rocks a pink lip every day so I’m always on the hunt for lip products that really deliver. The new Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stains combine great long-lasting colour without drying out your lips. Plus, the colour selection is fantastic.

Have you tried any of these yet? I’d know love to know what you think!
