Neutral Eye Duo


I have been always reaching out for these cream eyeshadows lately and I find they make the perfect match. I like to apply R.S.V.P by Benefit all over my eyelid and than rubbing Tough as Taupe by Maybelline in the crease of my eye. They make a perfect duo, for an everyday wear!


R.S.V.P is a lovely creamy champagne color. It has lots of silver shimmer with a golden undertone, which is absolutely gorgeous. It does stay on for a very long time!


Tough as Taupe is a new product which I have been meaning to try for so long, it is very pigmented and the color is amazing! Great product for the price, although it is said to last up to 24hr, I personally don't think that is true, but it is very affordable for its quality!

Lovely low-high hem skirt!


I have recently purchased this really cute low high hem skirt. It is in the color salmon-peach, looks very silk! I love this new trend for spring, also for summer, I find it makes your outfit look very clean and joyful. This skirt can be worn for the day, on the beach and also for a night out! I bought it at Forever21 for only 17.80$, which is a total bargain! Can't wait to wear it when the weather gets better, I will probably wear it with a light brownish beige tank top and some gold jewlery!! 

Hope you enjoyed, Gabrielle xx

Lips!


I have been using these four lip products on a daily basis, and I wanted to tell you guys how amazing they were.  Lets get to it!

On the complete left, is my YSL lipstick in Rouge Volupté, Pink Lingerie. This product is great! It feels extremely smooth on the lips, it hydrates the lips and leaves kind of a lip balm finish. I have never had a lipstick that smells this good, it has the scent of peaches and raspberries. If I could only have one brand of lip products it would definitively be YSL, but as you may already know, this is not on the cheap side!!

Next to it is a M.A.C lipstick in the color Hue A40, Glaze. I have been loving this product recently because it goes well with everything. Leaves the lips with a sheer-rose-nude color, feels soft. The only down-side to it is that it doesn't last very long, I tend to be re-applying all of the time. 

Next to it is also a M.A.C lipstick, this one is in the color Pink Plaid AB1, and it is matte. I don't usually go for matte lipsticks but I have been adoring this one. The color is super gorgeous and girly, more on the darker side. It is pink, purple-ish raspberry color. Adds a pop of color to your normal makeup routine. 

Last would be my little EOS lipbalm, I have a couple of them but this one just smells amazing!! It is in the fruit punch flavor. I use this every morning and every night, keeps my lips looking silk and feels refreshing.

March Faves!


I haven't been blogging recently, because I have been overloaded with school work. So today i decided to do a blog on my March favorites, which my friend Alyson suggested I should do. This month I have been purchasing many new products, and I will talk about the ones that turned out pretty good. 


The one nail polish ive been enjoying was the ''In Stitches'' by Essie, this is a pink-fuschia color, it does have a purple undertone which I find simply gorgeous.
I have been using my Mac Fix+ everyday since i bought it and it is time to re-purchase, i love this product it gives your makeup a perfect glow, keeps everything in place and makes your makeup almost waterproof.
My Hoola Bronzer by Benefit has always been an on & off for me and now i cannot live without it, i like to contour my face with this product, gives a nice warm glow for spring time.
Passion Flower candle from Bath&Body Works just smells amazing, it is the best scent I have ever smelled, I have been lighting it tons lately. It smells like roses and violets, such a nice spring  scent. 
Revlon Brow Fantasy in the color Dark Blonde, this product is great for a quick touch up on your eyebrows, it has both pencil and gel, they don't have many colors to choose from, which is quit weird. 
Carmex lip ointment is for dry & chapped lips, it burns your lips but feels amazing afterwards.
I've had my High Beam by Benefit for long but never really used it, now I use it everyday on my brow bone.
My new foundation is the Bourjois Healthy mix serum, it is very low coverage and is perfect for everyday wear, it is very soft and looks natural. I am in the color 51 light vanilla. 
The scarf on the right i have been wearing on weekends, it is not an Alexander Mcqueen, I actually purchased it from ebay for 3$. Very thin scarf!


These are the earring I have been wearing a lot recently, I like how they go with eveything. I got them at Forever21 for only 3.80 if I am correct. 


I have been loving this Lise Watier blush in the color Libertine, peachy-coral color with lots of golden shimmer, very affordable. 


My last March favorite would definitively have to be my pearl ring which my boyfriend got for me on valentines day, very classy ring, goes with basically every outfit. This ring was purchased from a local Jewelry store, I do not know the exact price. 

Hope you enjoyed!! Love, Gabrielle xx

Favourite nail polish for springtime



Spring is just around the corner, and I feel this spring is going to be all about bright colors! So here I decided to wear a bright mint green color on my nails, it really looks like a pastel green, which i just love so much! I applied three coats because I found the color was not bright enough with only two, I also love that is it Top Speed because I hate having to wait for my nails to dry, I always find a way to ruin them while they are drying!!   If you don't find it in your drugstore, Essie's Mint Candle Apple looks the same. For spring I also recommended bright colors like pink, yellow, peach, and blue. Very affordable product, worth purchasing it for this season!

Nail polish color; Revlon Top Speed 320 Jaded.

My new vanity!!


A few weeks ago I had no vanity at all, I would basically apply my makeup with the huge mirror leaned against my wall. I am so glad my mom finally decided to go to IKEA! This vanity is so classy and clean, it makes my make up routine much more easier. I didn't want just a vanity with a mirror already installed, so i decided to get this one, I also got a rolling chair in white which is very comfortable, it comes with a little white cousin. With this table i have tons of room inside the drawer (which slides out) to store all my beauty products! 

Mirror from Winners, 9.99$, can be bought at any supply store.
Candles; Island Colada & Passion Flower from bath and body works.
Other candle is ROSE, which I bought at Ikea for 3$
Vanity bought at Ikea, article #: 102.036.10
Chair bought at Ikea, article #798.777.09

Springtime blushes!!


              These three blushes are my go-to blushes, anytime, everyday.
On the top left there's the Dream Mousse blush in peach satin 20, next to it we have the M.A.C Pinch O' Peach, and the one right under these two is the Maybelline Dream Bouncy blush in the color Rose Petal 15. I will be explaining the effects these fabulous blushes provide to your skin!!


This gorgeous blush M.A.C Pinch O' Peach, gives a fantastic glow in the springtime, to some of you it may look very cool in the pan, but when it is applied to your skin it turns out to be very peachy. This blush is more on the ''matte'' side, whereas some blushes have tons of sparkle! For me, i most likely turn to matte blushes because I find it stays much longer and it makes the cheek look natural! A little more expensive, but worth the money!!

If you are someone who has a hard time finding a blush that gives a natural extra to your make-up routine, then this is totally for you!! This bouncy blush by maybelline in the color Rose Petal 15, is just perfect for everyday wear, without too much sparkle, it has a coral under-tone that gives you a little more glow. When you don't have time to really focus on your cheeks, this will do! The constancy is like never seen before, it's not a cream nor a powder, it feels pretty soft and silky, can be applied with fingers by just rubbing around the cheek bone! It is very affordable.

Last but certainly not least, the Dream Mousse blush in Peach Satin 20. This blush is just amazing, no other word can describe it, it has the perfect texture to stay on your skin and really give you the shine you are looking for. This color is more on the peach side, with lots of silver glitter under-tones and is very similar to Orgasm by Nars. It can be worn through winter as well as in summer when you have a nice tan, this will make everything look more glamorous! Very affordable also.
