So right now I am in the process of doing two swaps, one with a girl in Australia, her name is Sophie and her youtube username is snoooflake, she is so sweet and I am having so much fun shopping for her.

Update

Hey guys, so this is just an update on the my life and the clean and clear blackhead eraser. Okay so as far as having less blackheads, I dont think it really does this. It is a great exfoliator and really makes your skin feel squeaky clean, but as for getting rid of blackheads..not so much. So I am glas I got this product on sale for $10CAD I may have been more disappointed if I had payed the full price. So I will keep it and use it once or twice a week as an exfoliator, however at the moment I dont think I will be purchasing anymore of the refill pads. I have lots left so we will see how it goes. Hope that helps, and let me know if any of you have tried this product, or what you think about it.

As for life, I will be purchasing an item or two from the colourcraft collection, so far im really only interested in the colourcrafted lipstick and the naked honey skin salve. I will be making a video on my haul, once i get the package in the mail. I also uploaded my first video yesterday, on the products I can't live without so if you havent gone and checked it out please do! Remember to comment, rate and of course subscribe!

Products I can't live without!

Okay so hollymae20 did a video on this, and I thought it was a really good idea so I thought I would share with you guys, the products that I can't live without. So let's get started!

Hair:
I almost always do my hair curly or scrunched because my hair is naturally wavy, and straightening it everyday is hard on it. So I use Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse and Aussie Sprunch catch the wave hairspray. The combination of these two products is amazing! I strongly recommend these two products, especially if you have wavy or curly hair. Using these two products I towel dry my hair and then apply the mousse to my hair with my head upside down, scrunching my hair and then I spray the Aussie sprunch on the curls and scrunch again. Then I let my hair air dry and I am left with nicely defined curls.

Skincare:
Marcelle Oil free multi-defense lotion, its a daily moisturizer with spf 15, its just really light and nice to wear daily under makeup.
Roc Dermatologic purif-ac Fast action gel is the best product I have found for treating spots and blemishes, it works really fast too. It is about $20CAD
In terms of facewash I usually use Neutrogena products, right now I am using their Pink Grapefruit facial cleanser and it works good and smells amazing, great for early mornings!

Body:
Olay Bodywash and tone enriching ribbons in deep moisture and mineral shimmer gives your body an all over glow and is super moisturizing.
Victoria Secrets Beauty Rush Coconut Craze body drink lotion it smells amazing and leaves your legs silky smooth, literally.

Makeup:
Boing industrial strength concealer in 02 by Benefit. This works really well for full coverage.
Loreal Bare Naturale gentle mineral makeup with spf 19. This is great for summer, its a really light coverage and helps control shine as well.
Hoola bronzer by Benefit
Well dressed powder blush by Mac in well dressed
Maybelline lash stiletto for day and Loreal Carbon black voluminous for nights out.
Gosh waterproof eyeshadow in love that beige its a really nice highlight and eyeshadows stick to it really well, so it can be used as a primer.
Any brow product as my brows are definately unruly! Right now I am using Revlon Brow Fantasy in Dark Blonde. I really like this product and I talked about it in a previous blog.
Lipsticks: I love Gosh Darling lipstick its a wearable nude and is great for everyday. Another great alternative is Revlon super lustrous lipstick creme in 613- Just enough buff. Both are really moisturizing.

In order to wear a nude lip you need smooth exfoliated lips, I picked up this product from shoppers drugmart for $20CAD and its Lise Watier Sensational kiss lip so soft exfoliating balm. This product is great you apply it and then rub your lips together to exfoliate and then the beads disappear and you are left with a gloss on your lips which I normally leave on and apply my lipstick on top of it.

So those are all the products that I can't live without! Let me know if you want any reviews or pictures of the products and I will post them. Also if you have any questions about any of the products dont hesitate to leave a comment.

Thanks guys! bye for now~ meagen

July 3rd

Hey, so July 3rd is my three year anniversary with my boyfriend. It was so sweet he went to an icecream shop and got me a pint of my favorite icecream (cotton candy) and a dozen roses. To top it off he made me dinner as well. Overall a great day! So I just wanted to post a picture of "The Boyfriend" xoxo

Okay thats it ladies! talk to you soon! ~ Meagen

Update -- In's and out's

Hey, so I just thought I would do a quick post. The Blackhead eraser from clean & clear hasn't really made much of a difference so far, although it does feel like it works right after I use it. It gives that intense tingly sensation and my skin feels so smooth, but sadly I dont think I have any less blackheads. I saw on the Ellen show, that you can use white school glue to remove blackheads so I tried that today, and of course it didn't work. So I will continue with the eraser but I am open to any products or remedies that you guys suggest so please let me know.

IN'S
- new mac products! I am having so much fun creating different looks.
- Summer! I love the warm weather provided the wind dies down long enough.
- Semester break between spring and summer session!
-Gosh darling lipstick


OUT'S
- Summer session starts July 6th...back to studying
- Windy weather!!
- Snob lipstick by mac, if anyone has any ideas about how to tone the pink color down, let me know.
- When someone invites you over to their place to hang out and then while you are there, random ppl start showing up that you don't know and you are forced to listen to their conversations, those of which you cannot partake in because it happened when you weren't around.

Okay that is it guys! Tell me your in's and out's I love hearing them!
Bye for now ~ Meagen
