Drugstore Pop of Purple Eye Tutorial

Hi Everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you a tutorial using the Wet & Wild "petal pusher" palette, which is a beautiful purple eyeshadow palette. This is especially good for people with green eyes, purple really makes green eyes pop!
 

1. First I took this matte light purple shade and my Sigma large shader brush and blended this color all over my lid.


2. Then using my Sigma tapered blending brush I took this gorgeous matte violet shade and blended it into my crease very lightly, focusing on the outer corner.



3. Next up using a RT base shadow brush I took the white highlight color and placed it on my inner corner as well as along my brow bone.





4. After that I took my Sigma angled shader brush and this very dark purple shade (It does have some glitter but the glitter barely shows up so don't be scared!) and softly blended it into the outer corner of my crease to add some definition and smoke it out a bit.after this, take a clean blending brush and blend just to make sure there are not harsh edges.


5. Then, using a black liquid liner (I used The Balms liquid liner) and just thinly line the upper lash line

6. Put mascara onto your lashes and lower lashes




7. I did this next part at the end but I would recommend doing this before you add any mascara. Taking a RT accent brush and the violet shade, lightly line the lower lash line to add a nice pop of color.






...and that's it! Hope you enjoyed this quick and super easy tutorial!

My Top 5 Drugstore Beauty Favourites!

Hi Everyone!
I've been pretty MIA this last week, between school, work, family and friend I've no time for anything else! This past week of school has been crazy but so exciting at the same time! I'm currently enrolled in the Event Management Graduate Program and I'm loving it! There is so much work involved but it's going to be worth it. The one main assignment we have throughout the year is to plan a event to raise money for the Children's Wish Foundation...in groups of 6 and a $0 budget! It will be tough because everything is through donations and sponsors but it's for an amazing cause and will be so rewarding in the end! 
Anyways, today I wanted to share with you guys a few of my drugstore favourites. This is one of my favourite kind of post to read because some drugstore items are such a hit or miss, it's great to see what other people think of a product before you go out and purchase it! Plus you sometimes read of a product you've never heard of or maybe never would of thought to try.

I've talked about this product again and again. I really do think its amazing and it has covered up my dark circles so well! I talk a bit more about it here in my Favorite Concealers post.
Wet and Wild "Walking on Eggshells" palette
This trio is one of my favourites for so many reasons...
- it's cheap! ($3.00)
- very pigmanted! 
-beautiful colours!
Revlon 3D Volume Mascara
This is another product I've talked about time and time again. This Revlon mascara reminds me so much of the Benefit "they're real" mascara but a third of the price! The wand is very similar with the spiked tip that makes it so easy for your lashes to look winged out. This is really a great mascara, I love wearing it with the MUFE smokey last also!
L'Oreal Colour Riche in "Pink Cashmere"
These are fairly new from L'Oreal but have already became once of my favorites! The formula on these is so creamy and smooth but also very long lasting. This is my favorite shade from the collection, it's the perfect pink that you can wear all year round. Also the colour payoff it amazing!
Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation
LOVE this foundation! It is by far my favourite drugstore foundation. Its extremely long-wearing, even with my oily skin and gives such amazing coverage without feeling heavy which I love. Down side to this is that in Canada it is pretty pricey for drugstore with a $16.99 price tag.

So those are my top drugstore beauty products! What are some of yours?

ps: Sigma just announced a new free gift with a purchase of $30+, the gift is shadow from their new brow kit!!. check it out HERE
