Here’s what I wore Tuesday September 27. It’s strange to see my bare ankles in these pictures considered it’s 1 degree celsius outside right know, and it was about -3 degrees celsius earlier today. It’s been snowing lightly almost all day, so it’s beginning to feel more and more like Christmas.

I recently discovered some new additions to the e.l.f. display at my local supermarket, and I decided to try out a few things. The product I’ve been most impressed with is the Eye Refresh. It has a cooling sensation and it brightens and refreshes the eye area to help alleviate under eye puffiness and dark circles. It feels really good and I’ve noticed how it really does alleviate under eye puffiness, and I think it’s an awesome product to use on those days where you look extra tired. I was obviously drawn to the Illuminating Palette. I’ve only used it once or twice so far, so I haven’t formed a proper opinion about it yet, but I get the feeling that they’re quite subtle highlight powders, so maybe you could even use them to set concealer on the under eye area. The Blemish Control Face Primer is supposed to help control breakouts and blemishes while priming the skin, and I’ve actually used it quite a bit, and I like it so far. Lastly, I thought I would try out the Blending Brush, because I’ve had such good experiences with e.l.f. brushes in the past, and this is another good one.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like how the peachy champagne on my eyelids are almost wet looking, and a hot pink lip just always looks great in my opinion.

I was so impressed with the first two Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks I bought that I had to get hold of some more shades. The bright yellow is called Queen Bee and is from the limited edition summer collection, the nude is called Celebrity Skin, the deep brown red is called Unicorn Blood, the dark mauve is called Androgyny, and the dusty green is called Dirty Money. These colours are gorgeous, and you’ll definitely see me wear these in future make-up posts.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. You might have noticed by now that I have a soft spot for purple lipstick, and this metallic one is just gorgeous.

Here’s what I wore Thursday September 22. A black and white outfit doesn’t need to be boring, and I don’t think this outfit is boring at all. The skirt is one of my favourite pieces of clothing and I think it’s so versatile.
