*Loreal Fibralogy


Hey guys! I was kindly sent the new Loreal Fibralogy hair care line (shampoo, conditioner and serum) courtesy of Influenster and Loreal Canada in the Fibralogy Voxbox, however all opinions on the products are on my own. Fibralogy is supposed to work by expanding the hair from inside by use of Innovation "Filloxane" which "penetrates and diffuses in the hair fibre. Hair expands from within. The cumulative action is that the substance remains in the fibre and increases application after application. Hair becomes progressively thicker." I'm here to test that theory!



As you can see there was a difference, in the first photo yep I have bald spots and yes it's embarrassing but I have fine baby hair and there's nothing I can change about that unfortunately.. but the second photo which is about a week and a half of use I have no bald spots and my hair overall just looks much healthier.

I didn't really care for the serum and I think to truly test out how well the serum works you would have to try just using the shampoo and conditioner for a while and then add in the serum to see if there is a difference. The directions of the serum also said to use a dime sized amount but the serum itself was very watery so I found you had to use much more to cover your hair...it wasn't really like a serum at all in my opinion as it wasn't thick enough.

The shampoo and conditioner on the otter hand I LOVED and will continue to use. The shampoo lathers so well and both products smell amazing and as the photos above show they do make a difference and I am very skeptical about hair thickening products as I have tried MANY others on the market and never saw a change. Loreal you have significantly improved my hair and although it's not "thick" by any means it's an improvement so thank you.

Who else got this voxbox and tried it out, what did you think?

C E T A P H I L


This post is for all you dry skinned ladies, I know the struggle. 

I have searched for something that would satisfy my skins never ending thirst for moisture for a long time and I've come pretty close with this Cetaphil moisturizer. 

I use this at night after I shower because my face is always the most dry after I shower although it can be used in the morning! It's saved my skin! I like to research products before throwing away my money generally if it's mixed reviews I'll still buy because what may not work or another could do wonders for you. There was a lot of complaints about this burning people's skin....I don't get that with it's definitely not meant for people with oily skin! Just stay away if you do have oily or combo leaning more towards oily. It can be a tad greasy on the face if you use too much I use about a pump and a half to cover my whole face and because my skin is the sahara desert it takes no time at all for it to soak in, my face drinks it up and another bonus is it's got added sun protection, who doesn't need a some SPF in their life.

I haven't noticed any difference in the appearance of my skin but it has beyond helped my dryness more than anything else I've tried and it's a drugstore moisturizer so it's affordable. 

Anyone with dry skin have anything they love? Leave your recommendations in a comment!

Something different

Hello loves, well I have a different post for you today. I want you guys to know more about me and my hobbies, so I thought why not show you all that I am a nerd who loves to game! I don't do it as often anymore but it doesn't mean that every once in a while I have a day that is a complete nerd day with junk food and video games all day long because I do at least once a month, haha. 
So here is my game collection!

PSP
Truth be told I haven't played my PSP in years but I will still include it, I never got too far in getting any games as you can see but I do have Cars and Over the Hedge and Zathura is a movie, planning on giving these away soon, hopefully kids still use PSP's haha!

WII


Recently just got my Wii back, of course I have the two games it came with (Wii Sports and Sports Resort). Not pictured in either picture I have three DDR games and I must say I am a deadly DDR player. =) Donkey Kong Country, which is just like the old one and one of the most famous game series on the planet, I have Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, which I wasn't a fan of. I still play Twilight Princess a lot, adore that game and the music in Zelda is always beautiful <3

Xbox 360



Can you tell I love my xbox? Yes there is a movie box there if anyone noticed but it actually has NHL 10 in it because I lost the game case so I improvised! Quick list for you guys;
Assassins Creed 2 - Just beat this recently!
Call of Duty Modern Warfare - Actually not a big fan of any of the COD games, I did have Black OPs as well but somebody stole it.
Dragon Age: Origins: Recently beat this as well, such a good game. Highly recommend if you love RPGS
GTA 4 and 5 - Currently replaying the fourth.
L.A. Noire
Left 4 Dead - My favourite FPS game, ever. Hello zombie apocalypse.
Mass Effect 
PGA Masters
MX - ATV - pretty fun racing game, it's hard too as you have to use both control sticks the whole time.
The Return AKA NHL 10, haha.
Ridge Racer 6 
Saints Row - this game is absolutely ridiculous...
Sim's Bustin' Out and Sims 2 - Who doesn't love a good old game of the Sims?
Skate and Skate 3
SSX 3 
Star Wars KOTOR and KOTOR 2 - my favourite games in the world, such a good storyline and gameplay and just all around perfect. I don't have enough words to describe my love for this series, let's just say I've beat both multiple times, surprisingly never as a dark character, that's next!
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
The Walking Dead
UFC
007 Legends

Xbox One

I just bought the Xbox One not long ago, we bought this to play (NHL 15) and the Xbox came with 2 Assassins Creed games which I love and Dance Central for our Kinect, I'm also a big sucker for dance games, not to mention they're a great workout if you're lazy and don't want to think of it as exercise. I don't know how I feel about the Xbox One, not a fan so far but I haven't quite figured out how to use it.

There you have it, a little look into my world and a hobby I don't talk about much.

NYC - Imperial Red


Hey loves! What girl doesn't love red, especially on their nails.

The shade on my claws is NYC Imperial Red. NYC is a well known very cheap drugstore brand but cheap isn't always bad. 

This nail polish is not too shabby for a mere $1.99 actually at that price it's a fabulous bargain. The photo above is only one coat, super opaque! You could use two but it's not needed. No it doesn't have the lasting power but I have yet to find a polish that doesn't chip within three days so I'm not going to gripe too much about that. If anyone though can tell me about a polish that's forever lasting, please let me know! The fact you only need to use one coat on each hand makes painting your nails so much less of a chore plus they dry in a minute, I am not joking. Try it out and prove me wrong.

The NYC line of polishes is probably the best bargain you will ever find in the ever expanding beauty world!

Topshop - Ceramic lip liner




Hello everyone! I'm here today with a review, TOPSHOP lip liner in "Ceramic"

It is a nude, I am not a huge nude lip girl I love bright, statement lips. Red will always own my heart in lipstick shades The color when swatched on my hand is a lot darker but that's only due to lighting it is very natural looking. I am wearing it as a solo color as I don't have any nudes that would match this. 

The pigmentation is great but TOPSHOP lip products have been known to be compared to MAC who is known for their fantastic color range and pigmentation. It does last long even through drinking and eating. 

Dried out my lips horribly...I feel like maybe if I had worn a balm or moisturizing lipstick underneath it would have been much better. Overall I'm still not sure if I love this pencil. 

I like that it's great for subtle looks but I'm more prone to the exciting shades of lipsticks, it's the one thing people always are mentioning about me.

What are your favorite lipsticks?

OOTD


                       
Tights - Target
 

Here it is a very school girl look, I actually wasn't aiming for that when I got dressed this morning it just kind of turned into that. I was wearing a white collared shirt underneath unfortunately the lighting in my room is not the greatest. For shoes I wore a simple pair of black flats with little bows on them and introducing one of my favorite Blackmilk pieces the white burned  velvet skirt. I did wear this to work as the skirt is long enough and throw on the blazer, there you have it a great work outfit. Blazers fix everything, I swear, they are a must have in your closet.
What do you guys think?

2015 Spring Fashion Week Trends

Statement lips, bold and not so bold eyeliner, pops of colour, smokey eyes (a smokey eye will never go out of style) and even the bare minimum is what took over this years runways for Spring's 2015 Fashion Week!


 

There wasn't a definite trend with eyeliner as it went from none - simple - dramatic, from pictures it looked as if almost every designer had their own idea of what should be done with the eyeliner, the colour trend popped out in a lot of different shows.

(Saint Laurent)

Bold Lips

I'm not sure if I've made it clear on this blog but I am a lipstick slave, I will rarely leave the house to go do something without something on my lips, I own a ridiculous amount probably more than I will ever use but hey, you can never have enough different lip colours right? So I absolutely LOVED seeing the bright and bold or the dramatic and dark lips.

(Zac Posen)


(Number 21)


(Missoni)


(Dolce & Gabanna - Kendall Jenner, one of my style icons, I adore her)

COLOR POP

I loved seeing the different ways colour was being used on the eyes, the creativity behind these shows and the make up artists is truly amazing and I only dream to get a glimpse one day. There was a lot of blue used I noticed while looking through photos and purples, I am not a fan of purple because I have yet to master the look it not looking bruised...


(Honor)


(Max Mara)


ALMOST NAKED

The au naturel look, bare minimum. I think this will always be a trend during spring and summer just as the smokey eye will always be a trend.



(Tory Burch)

My favourite was definitely the pops of colour, it gave me a lot of inspiration. Let me know which one you guys love in the comments!

Rimmel - STAY AWAKE

Hello everyone! Another new post, I'm like a whole new person who posts regularly, haha.

I'm going to talk about concealers, I don't think I've ever done a post on any sort of cover up so this will be new for me and all of you. I wanted to talk about Rimmel London's Stay Awake concealer (p.s. they have a foundation too which is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C, highly recommend).



I have the lightest shade suitably name "very fair" for my poor pale skin.


This concealer has a nice creamy texture to it, I recently heard someone saying theirs had got watery after a while I have never had this problem and I've had this concealer for a few months now. The coverage is light - medium I'd say as you can see in the above photo, covered a few freckles at least! I would not recommend this a under eye concealer if you have very dark circles. I don't even have extreme dark circles but I find this is not enough to cover mine so if you're searching for that HG concealer this won't be a great option for you. Rimmel being a drug store brand is super affordable and this concealer is available at most drug stores/department stores. I picked mine up at Wal-Mart for around $9.99 CAD.

What do you guys think of this concealer? Let me know in the comments
