Make up Haul

     I went to London Drugs the other day and this is my haul! It is small but only because I'm saving up for New York and Disneyland this year, so expect bigger hauls in the future!

      Maybelline colour whisper in Pin up peach 30 $6.99(on sale), Maybelline dream bouncy blush in pink plum 40$7.99(on sale), Revlon colourstay shadowlinks

 in sand which is a pearl and chocolate which is a matte$3.49 each,and Rimmel London soft Kohl kajal eye-liner in jet black$4.99(on sale).I did also get Physicians Formula mineral glow pearls in translucent pearl, but I sadly forgot to photograph it with the rest of my haul as I got it earlier when I went to the states.

     I do really like this product, however it is expensive. the first layer is sparkly and is deceiving and after the first use is losses its sparkle but having said that, it does give a nice glow just above the apples of the cheeks or the brow bone. Over all good product but I recommend waiting until it's on sale.

          I really love this! I highly recommend it, and I plan on buying more. it has a bit of shine and it is a sheer lipstick. It's very moisturising although it does wear off quickly it doesn't make your lips dry at all. I just cannot get enough of this stuff, it goes on really nicely. I really would like to get this in the who wore it redder and and mad for magenta. 

 

      Firstly I want to apologize for this crappy photo, my camera is broken so I've relying on my Iphone and trying to hide lights and keep up with no shine is very hard, I do promise it will get better! Ok on with the review! liking it is to weak a word but love is a little strong so its in between, when I took off the seal the snap broke and now it doesn't close properly, I read the reviews on the Maybelline website and someone else had the same problem, so if you do purchase it just be careful. Now the product it's good it blends supper nicely and melts into the skin really beautifully if you are going for a more natural look this shade (pink plum 40) is perfect. Applying it is a bit awkward as you have to use your finger (ring finger is best) and just swirl it around the blush and then on the apple of your cheeks just build it p as much as you want or just a little for a subtle flush. 

     I do like this product, however I was upset to find out it was not very pigmented and I find one eye is always darker than the other and it might have to do with the way I'm holding the brush. It does blend nicely it could blend a bit better but I would recommend this for beginners as it is lighter so if you make mistakes they aren't noticeable, or if you just want a very natural look for the day, they are cheap and they slid together so you can make your own palette which is one of the reasons I bought them. I was also disappointed in the lack of colours they had as most of them are bright vibrant colours, they only have a select few of browns and only 2 shades of green which both happened to be either to dark or light for my skin tone, these were really the only 2 colours I really did like, I really hope they come out with a matte black and a pearl white would also be lovely. Having said all of that it is a good product and I probably would buy more in the future.

     I've only used this product once and I really wasn't happy with it. I did cat eye and then in my waterline and it didn't stay in my waterline and it wore off on my eyes, (I did rub the little flick a lot that day so that probably had something to do with it rubbing off) I wasn't to pleased it could rub off so easily as I usually have a hard time finding good pencil liner in black, which is actually black and not a dark grey or sparkly, so I was happy when I tested it on my hand and it was actually black. I will test it again but I probably will go out and find a better pencil liner.

Art Institute of Vancouver Lunch

     I was able to go to the Art Institute of Vancouver today to check out the culinary program (amazing by the way I will apply and pray I get in, everyone there seems super nice the instructors are amazing and they try to help you get a job in what you would like to do) while we were there we got a tour of the campus and got to observe the students, my one regret is not observing more and asking more question, damn my shyness! We were able to try some pork taquito's with sour cream and the best guacamole I've ever had.

     This is mint basil pink lemonade with pink sugar around the rim and a lemon for decoration. WOW! was this amazing, super sweet I add but we couldn't get enough of it, I admit to looking like an idiot trying to lick the sugar out of the inside of the glass but I don't care it was so good, I had to savour every drop.

     My entrée was Chinese egg noddle, with a pork sauce, it was ok I wasn't a fan of the pork sauce but the presentation was just so beautiful I had a hard time mixing it as I didn't want to wreck this master piece. There really wasn't much to say about this dish, it was just ok if the sauce was better I would have liked it more.

      I have never had a better dessert, I cannot even begin to describe! Mint whip cream chocolate fudge, berries dipped in white chocolate ganache with oranges and white chocolate disks. every bite was a different explosion of flavour. The fudge with the whipped cream or with the berries or the orange which was my favourite by far! This dessert was truly amazing and from what I've herd the culinary kids don't enjoy the pastry side and are nervous but this was just amazing and I wish I could have told them not to worry because this was just awesome.

     If you live near The Art Institute of Vancouver, I highly recommend going to the second floor bistro, it is fantastic! I did have pork pot stickers for an appetizer however I sadly forgot to photograph it, but they were amazing and if you go get them! It's fairly inexpensive, as my meal came to about $19 + tax. Just keep in mind they are student chefs and our pot stickers got burned and they had to start over so I wouldn't go in expecting  high quality food without mistakes.
