Hosted by the ever so funny and ever so lovely Ellen Degeneres, this years Oscar's was the best yet! She had me laughing out loud quite often and I can't help but love her and the connection she has with all of these celebrities. She made this year truly memorable, of course only aside to all the gowns, looks and beauty that we all really watch the Oscar's for! Let's get to my favourites of the night!<br />
<br />
There were so many amazing looks on Sunday to chose from, made it very hard to break down my favourites. Please don't be offended if I don't pick your favourite, this is only what I think in my opinion is the best of the Oscar's. Don't forget to let me know which were your favourite looks of the night in the comments box below!<br />

Margot Robbie - I was pleasantly surprised at the dramatic colour change that she showed up with but I absolutely love it! Don't get me wrong - I love her as a blond, but this dark colour brings out the vamp in her and I like it!!<br />

Lupita Nyong'o - How adorable is she in her cute little hairband?! Right?! I love this look not only for the adorable and girly headband, but because it contrasts against the bad ass shaved sides of her head. There's a balance of beauty and bad ass that I absolutely love. It was perfect!<br />

Olivia Wilde - I've just got to say that she is doing pregnancy right! She looks amazing pregnant or non-pregnant! Her hair for the festivities was polished and conservative enough for the Oscar's, but bohemian and cute enough that it was still her style. Just right for the occasion!<br />

Emma Watson - I love seeing her evolve every time I see her at an awards show, I am loving the stylish babe she's becoming! Her look was soft, Old Hollywood glamour - but still young and fresh. I love the strong brow, soft eye and tomato red lip. Beautiful!<br />

Margot Robbie - I do have to say that I think the reason I loved her makeup on Sunday is because it was part of the new vampy package that she came in - and I'm in love!! I love that the dark brow to match her new hair colour is also making her blue eyes pop. The clean eye brings all the focus to that purpley, vampy lip. Just Stunning!<br />

Olivia Wilde - I am always loving her makeup at every occasion and celebration, and I especially loved that she went with something a little edgy-er to show everyone that pregnancy doesn't mean 'boring'! Crisp, dark cat-eye eyeliner paired with a matte light pink lip and perfect skin - absolutely FLAWLESS!<br />

Lupita Nyong'o - She wore a beautiful pastel blue flowing gown by Prada, and she looks like heaven. This dress is the right mix of sexy and cute and makes her skin look like butter! Butter! Perfect colour for spring and the plunging neckline lets us know what it's all about! Amazing!</div>

Charlize Theron - There's no way I could possibly be talking about the Oscar's best dressed and not include Charlize. She killed it in this dress! The sheer panels, amazing neckline of this Dior Haute Couture Black gown, takes the LBD to the next level and beyond!</div>

I had to give this one to Bradley Cooper! He always looks so good whenever he sets out in a suit. It was really hard to chose among so many well put together men!

I know, this isn't usually a category when I do these posts, but I just love Olivia Wilde and her whole look - that I think it wouldn't be right to not give her any recognition! I love her laid back, effortless look with this black and white Valentino, with pockets and beautiful back details. How amazing does she look!? Perfect hair, makeup and so adorable with her new family! I absolutely love her and Jason Sudeikis, they are going to make one beautiful and hilarious baby!</div>

I know, it might seem a little crazy to be purchasing and blogging about two MAC collections back to back, but I had to be fair. I couldn't just but and write about one and not the other! It only seems logical. I know, I am enabling my addiction by making excuses for myself. But yay excuses and yay makeup! Might as well enjoy it while I can ;).<br />

MAC also released this collection on December 26th along with their 'Magnetic Nudes' Collection (to see my Haul and looks from that collection, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2014/02/mac-magnetic-nudes-collection-haul.html">click here</a>) and their limited edition 'Huggable' lipsticks. Whew! What a busy week! Although I have been on this Nude makeup phase lately, I was sooooooooo excited for this black matte lipstick! BLACK.MATTE.LIPSTICK. Let that soak in there for a second... Now you see?! How amazing does that sound!? Omgoodness! This is such a fun collection that invites everyone to play with bright colours and their dark sides! Imagine the fun and the possibilties to be had with this collection! I get excited about it all over again!<br />
<br />
Let's talk about what I got from this collection:<br />

'Studded Kiss' Matte Lipstick - This lipstick is described as 'Dark Oxblood Red with a Retro Matte finish'. I would describe it as a medium deep burgendy red with warm brown undertones and a matte finish. It's almost exact dupe for their 'Diva' lipstick, and since I don't have 'Diva' I picked this one up. Because it's a Matte lipstick, it had opaque colour coverage and lasted on me for 7 hours with staining and almost no feathering. Love this dark vampy lipstick!!

'Punk Couture' Matte Lipstick - This lipstick colour is described as a 'Deep Blackened Grape with a Retro Matte finish'. Although they are all described as a 'Retro Matte Finish' it only says 'Matte' on the boxes and it doesn't feel as dry as the 'Retro Matte' finsih does. That being said, I feel this colour is a creamy medium- dark cool toned purple with a matte finish. Love this cool toned purple, MAC doesn't have a colour similar to this one in their permanent line, so I had to pick it up. This colour lasted 6 and half hours with staining and some patchy-ness in the last 20 minutes. It's so fun and such a different colour than anything I've seen lately!</div>

'Hautecore' Matte Lipstick - This is the one to talk about! This lipstick colour is described as 'A True Matte Black with a Matte finish'. It is a true, deep, cool toned black, with mostly opaque colour coverage and just a smidgen of shine. It might be a good idea to use MAC 'Blacktrack' Fluidline as a base under this lipstick to have full colour coverage. I cannot tell you how BADA$$ I feel whenever I wear this lipstick! It so edgy and perfect for a Punk inspired collection!</div>
<br />

'Magenta Madness' Pigment - Neon pigments are so much fun! This colour is described as 'A Neon Magenta Pink'. Pigments, like this one are so finely milled and deposit a lot of colour. Not to be used on the eye unless mixed with a certified medium, and is best if not applied with a damp brush or onto a damp surface. I love the brightness of this pigment! I can see it being a lot of fun mixed in with certain glosses and lip products, so many possibilities with these babies!</div>

'Neo Orange' Pigment - This colour is described as 'A Neon Orange', it is true to description but i would add that it does have a slight red/pink tint. So bright! I've seen this used as a blush and it was lovely! Again, so many possibilities with pigments do so many different functions dependant on the mixing medium. So much fun!</div>

'True Chartreuse' Pigment - This colour is described as 'A bright Chartreuse', a true green with some yellow tones and a bright finish. This is the least bright out of the three pigments of this collection, but can still appear brighter when mixed with the right medium. This was a fun one to play with! I liked to apply with or on top of a white base to bring out the true green and brightness of this colour!</div>

Well there you have it, lots of funky and punky creations to be made with this collection! For my two looks, I wanted to showcase the fun to be had with both the pigments and the lipsticks (and of course no punk look would be complete without some out-there liner!).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir3lRv67fpSzeNuWPEzkYWsaSKNYxAGYOjo6Lylmk37q7CPcS6Jh7pYwJJVDNVxWCDYEXfw0oEztUuwf3Gdd8TA911BC2JLD4GLaM6zbfVQSZzxuuyaPrjUuME8QJL3kQeA8wj2anr1Bs/s1600/photo+1+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir3lRv67fpSzeNuWPEzkYWsaSKNYxAGYOjo6Lylmk37q7CPcS6Jh7pYwJJVDNVxWCDYEXfw0oEztUuwf3Gdd8TA911BC2JLD4GLaM6zbfVQSZzxuuyaPrjUuME8QJL3kQeA8wj2anr1Bs/s1600/photo+1+(5).JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a>For my first look I wanted to find a way to use the pigments in a way that wouldnt necessarily be conventional or ordinary. I decided to use the 'True Chartreuse' pigment under my brow with some fierce liner. Heres how I did it: For my face I prepped and primed my face with Urban Decay's 'B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray' and Benefit Cosmetic's 'The Porefessional'. Once my primers and my face was set I applied MAC Minerlize Moisture Foundation with a damp Beauty Blender to the outer perimeter of my face and then applied MAC Pro Longwear Foundation all over - but mostly concentrating on my T-zone and cheeks. I let that sit before applying MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder all over with a fluffy face brush and then used MAC 'Nude On Board' Bronzing Powder with an Angle brush for my contour. I filled my brows with MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in 'Quite Natural' and corrected with MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. For my out-there liner, I used Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen (To see my review on this eyeliner, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/rave-or-rant-jesses-girl-liquid.html">click here</a>). So the focus of my look - the brow highlight! What I did was I applied MAC Chromographic Pencil in 'Pure White' first, all along my brow. Then with some MAC Fix+ Spray, I mixed that with some of the 'True Chartreuse' pigment and applied that along the white line with an eyeliner brush (MAC 109SE). The white base really brought out the brightness of the pigment. No lashes, just some Clinique 'High Impact' Mascara, and more MAC Prolongwear Concealer for my under eye circles. I used some of my MAC' Hibiscus Kiss' Bronzer/Blush Duo compact for my blush and MAC 'Adored' Mineralize Skinfinsh as my highlighter from their 'Tropical Taboo' Collection (To see my Haul from this collection, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/07/mac-tropical-taboo-haul-review.html">click here</a>). To finish off the look, I wanted to do a Nude lip to keep all the focus on the eyes and liner. So I used MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in 'Etcetera' and filled in my lips with MAC 'VIVA Glam II' Lipstick (My favourite VIVA Glam!!).<br />

For my second look I wanted all the focus on the lips this time and I knew that using 'Hautecore' would get all the attention without having to ask for it. I prepped my face with my Urban Decay B6 Prep Spray and used MAC 'Skin Base' Primer. I also used some of MAC CC Primers 'Adjust' (to correct the blue under my eyes and shadows around my face) and 'Neutralize' (to correct the red around my mouth and nose). Once that was set, I applied my liquid foundations just the same as I did on my first look and set it with the MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh Natural. MAC 'Nude on Board' Bronzing Powder for my Contour. Brows filled and corrected/highlighted the same as in look 1. For the Ombre liner, I used MAC Chromographic Pencil in 'Pure White' and lined my inner lid all the way to about 3/4 of my lid. Next I took my Cargo 'Black" eyeliner pencil and blended that in to make grey. I made sure to darken the gray closer to my outer lid and not blend as much closer to my inner lid to give it that gradient look. For the darkest part of the liner, my wing, I used my Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen. Some more Pro Longwear Concealer under my eyes and some Clinique 'High Impact' Mascara on my top and bottom lashes. MAC 'Ripe For Love' Blush from their 'Temperature Rising' Collection (To see my haul from this collection, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/05/mac-temperature-rising-haul-review.html">click here</a>) and MAC 'Adored' Mineralize Skinfinsh as my highlighter. For my dark lip, I used my Cargo 'Black' Eyeliner Pencil to line my lips and then filled them with MAC 'Hautecore' Matte Lipstick. This is one of my favourite looks to date. Super fun liner that you can do with any colour, and a black lip is so daring! LOVE it!!<br />

What better way to get through the 'mid-week blues' than a fun, fresh manicure? This is long overdue, my digits needed the TLC. I love having a fresh manicure to start the year, sounds so girly but I can't help it! I am the biggest girly girl, and proud of it!<br />
<br />
Now my little nailistas - I decided to change the shape of my nails as well. Figured that there wouldn't be a better time to change things up a bit than in the New Year! I decided I wanted to try a more natural, oval nail shape. You have to let me know what you think of this new nail shape in the comments box below - let me know if its a keeper or if I should go back to my more squared nail shape.<br />
<br />
I wanted to do a nice wintery-white manicure. I am inspired by the colour white and the snow and all the beautiful colours that reflects off of freshly fallen snow and snowflakes. That's my inspiration for this weeks manicure. I feel like this would be how the 'Ice Queen' would have her nails done. She too was inspiration for this nailart, but in a more likeable and cozy version, hehe!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's get started:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First I always make sure to scrub and wash my hands and nailbeds after grooming them and before applying my nail polish. I manicured my cuticles and filed my nails to the desired shape, then washed and exfoliated my hands. Once my hands were dried, I applied Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) on the skin around the nail bed to keep polish where it's supposed to be and makes cleaning easy later.<br />

The colours I am using today are: Nail's Inc Pearly White Laquer (not sure of the shade colour or name, I got this as a gift in a 'Nail's Inc.' set.), Julep "Joelle" Nail Polish (glitter coat) and some nail jewel decals that I got at my local Beauty Supply. Of course if you want to recreate this nailart, you can use any combination of colours or colour substitutions.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I apply my first coat of the Pearl White colour:<br />

<br />
In between and after each coat, I let the polish throughly dry. Once my base colour was completely dry, I then applied 1 coat of the glitter coat. I let all the polish dry for about a good ten minutes to make sure everything was set and perfect before applying the jewel decals.<br />

<br />
I didn't particularly put the jewels in any type of pattern, I just chose 2 nails on each hand and put 1 jewel on each. I used 'Nail's Inc' Nail glue to glue on the jewels and placed them carefully with a tweezer on the nail bed.<br />

Once the jewel decals were securely on, I applied a final layer of top coat to seal everything in and give it a good shine.<br />

I love, love, LOVE this manicure!! Quite a way to start off this year of beauty ahead! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, it was exactly what I wanted it to be! What do you think of this manicure? Is it 'Winter Wonderland' enough for you!? Hey we have 6 more weeks of winter - if you can't beat em, join em! Make sure you let me know what you think of this manicure and what you would do (or not do) differently for your Wintery Manicure!<br />

<br />
Well December was a heck of a busy month for us all - holidays, parties and MAC released two different collections on the same day as well as limited edition 'Huggable' lip colours. Whew! No wonder so many of us are opting for vacation, or at least on a very strict budget now in the new year.<br />

This post is to talk about one of the collections that MAC released right after Christmas - no literally right after, on the 26th of December - their 'Magnetic Nudes' Limited Edition Collection. I was so excited about this collection, not only because I have been on this Nude makeup kick lately, but also because the powder products are 'Extra Dimension' formula. If you know about this formula from past collections, than you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you have not heard of their Extra Dimension formula, basically it's a liquid to powder hybrid formula and the colours are prismatic and layered so there's depth and dimension in the shade. So you can just imagine the colour payoff and effect it gives when applied.<br />

This is a beautiful collection of soft metallics and neutral shades that are perfect to wear during the rest of the winter season but are still super on trend with how hot Nudes are right now. It was perfect timing to launch this soft, beautiful collection at the same time they launched a hard, punky one - Punk Couture (to see my MAC Punk Couture Haul, Swatches and Look, click here). MAC just aims to please by launching two extremely opposite collections, hey I'm not complaining ;).<br />
<br />
Here's what I got from this Collection:<br />

'Autoerotique' Extra Dimension Blush - This is described as a 'Dirty Coral Rose' colour, which it indeed is a medium to medium deep, coral pink. It has a soft satin finish as expected from their Extra Dimension formula, it's very buttery and had great colour payoff. Super pigmented, a little goes a long way. I love the warm undertones, and the muddy pink is perfect for the Winter season and into early Spring. The softness of this formula makes it super easy to apply and blend, surprisingly long wearing as well. I thought it wouldn't last as long on my face but wore well for 8 hours, with some patching in the last half hour. The more I stare at this blush, the more I fall in love with it! It has such a subtle shimmer to it, its so pretty and gives a great effect and dimension to the colour. I usually obsess over blushes and this will be no exception!</div>

Silver Dawn' Extra Dimension Eye Shadow - Talk about Extra Dimension! This colour was the most interesting for me out of the whole collection. This is described as a 'Dirty Grey Mauve' but I would say that its a meduim deep, neutral to cool taupe with subtle shimmer and a metallic finish. I love this dark taupe-y colour, its a great alternative to black for a smokey eye (as demenstrated in one of the looks below). I love that because it looks more brown when paired with certain colours and more grey with others. Makes it a very verstile colour, one that I want to keep in my kit. I might buy backups of the shadows because of how beautiful they are and how well they work with all colours!</div>

'A Natural Flirt' Extra Dimension Eye Shadow - This was the first item in the collection that I knew I had to have from the first time I saw it online. This is described as a 'Iridescent Light Pink', it is a pale warm pinky peach colour with a gold frost and metallic finish. Really pretty pink colour, great for highlighting and brightening. Love that this a more pink version of 'Naked' Pigment, both work amazingly well as a cheek highlight as well. I love this colour, perfect for Bridal makeup and perfect to polish off any nude makeup look! I'm 100% going back for another one of these babies, I've used it everyday since I brought it home. By this rate I'll need backups of my backups for this one!</div>

'Close Contact' Amplified Creme Lipstick - Although I loved all the lipstick colours that they released in this collection, this was the only one that looked good and I could pull off. I can't resist a good peachy-beige nude! I almost always buy 'the nude colour' in every collection MAC releases. This is described as a 'Creamy Peach' colour. It's a medium light beige peach with opaque colour coverage and a creamy finish. This is a deeper than 'Myth' or 'Creme d' Nude'. I love this colour, nudes are so perfect to wear with any colour combination, any occasion, any time! This colour wears well for 4 hours (5 and a half with lipliner) and the creamy consistancy kept my lips soft and the colour soft. Nothing like a good nude lip, I'm obsessed!!</div>

'Chilled' Fluidline Eye Liner - Love the shimmer and glitter in this one, it definitely caught my eye quick! This is described as a ' Frosted White Gold', it looks more pale pinky-peach with gold shimmer and pearl in the pot, but when applied appears more white-gold. This colour just screams 'Winter Wonderland' but not in a frigid cold kind of way - but more in a 'lets get cozy' kind of way. So pretty to wear on its own, great for under the bottom lashline, layered over other colours - there are so many possibilities!</div>

'Our Secret' Fluidline Eye Liner - This is the Fluidline that I was first interested in, its so soft and pretty! This is described as a 'Metallic Brown with a Red Pearl'. Its a soft, medium warm brown with a very subtle red pearl finish. Super pretty for a non sparkle brown liner option, I ABSOLUTELY love it on people with brown eyes, it just intensifies the warm tones in their eyes. Its so pretty and neutral to wear as everyday liner. I'm all about the brown liner lately, this has been the eye liner I have been reaching for most.</div>

'It's Physical' Fluidline Eye Liner - Now you might understand why I had a hard time choosing between the Fluidline's - here's another beautiful brown liner that makes me crazy because it's so pretty! This is described as a 'Brown with a Purple Pearl' colour. It has a deep brown base with large purple shimmer and a pearl finish. How pretty, right? So pretty! I love that this one has a little more presence than 'Our Secret', its the purple shimmer. Great to compliment brown and green eyes, perfect to wear on its own or with other neutrals or purples. I have a strange feeling that I will end up back at my MAC store buying all three Fluidlines! (Swatches from top to bottom in photo: It's Physical, Our Secret and Chilled.)</div>

As much as I wanted to buy everything, there's no way I could - especially right after Christmas. I love, love LOVE this collection! Its so pretty, perfect shades to make everyone happy and the Extra Dimension formula just puts it over the edge! I feel like this collection is so underrated and it's my mission to let everyone know how beautiful it all actually is! If I do end up buying more of this collection (I might go back for an Extra Dimension Skinfinsh and I had my eye on a gloss too), I will make sure to add them to the post. So crazy in love with everything I got and have been wearing it non stop! Can't stop! Won't Stop!<br />

For my first look, I decided to keep things really nice and simple. Benefit Porefessional Primer and MAC 'Painterly' Pro Longwear Paint Pot on my eyes as a primer. MAC Mineralize and Pro Longwear liqiud foundations with a little bit of MAC Studio Sculpt foundation where I needed it. MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh Natural powder to set. MAC 'Nude on Board' Bronzer for my contour. MAC 'Quite Natural' Pro Longwear Paint Pot for my brows with MAC Pro Longwear concealer to correct them. For my eyes I used MAC 'Saffron' (LE) eyeshadow on my crease and outer lid. Urban Decay 'Dark Horse' Eyeshadow from Naked 1 Palette on the inner 'V' and blended a bit into the crease. MAC 'A Natural Flirt' Extra Dimension Eyeshadow all over the lid and MAC 'Vanilla' Pigment on the inner corner and on my brow bone. Jessie's Girl Liquid Eyeliner and Clinque High Impact Mascara. My cheeks are MAC 'Hibiscus Kiss' (LE) Bronzer / Blush combo for my blush and MAC 'Adored' (LE) Mineralize Skinfinish as my highlight. On my lips I have MAC 'Boldly Bare' Lip Pencil blended with MAC 'Close Contact' lipstick.<br />

My Second Look, My foundation, bronzer and brow products are all the same and applied the same as my first look. For my eyes I used MAC 'Silver Dawn' Extra Dimension Eye Shadow all over my lid and under my lower lash line. I then applied Urban Decay's 'Buck' Eyeshadow on my crease and under my lower lash line, and blended that into where I have 'Silver Dawn' colour with MAC 'Saffron' (LE) Eyeshadow. MAC 'A Natural Flirt' on my inner corner and brow bone. On my cheeks I have MAC 'Autoerotique' Extra Dimension Blush and 'A Natural Flirt' Extra Dimension Eye Shadow as my highlight. On my lips, I have the same combo of MAC 'Boldy Bare' Lip Pencil with 'Close Contact' Liptick.</div>

As we are getting into the new year, I took a look at some of my items in my beauty basket and was thinking 'I wonder what 2014 will bring in terms of beauty and skincare?'. What better way to get ready for all things beauty in 2014 then by saying goodbye and reflecting on what we used in 2013? Seems logical.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In terms of beauty and skincare, 2013 was a great year for me. I always used skincare and always tried different products before, but last year was when I finally sat down and asked myself: 'Skin, what do you want? What do you need to be healthy?'. I started listening to myself and focusing on what my skin needed to be healthy, rather than listening to what everyone else was telling me would work for me. Although I am always looking for peoples opinions on skincare and grateful when someone turns me on to something promising, but with disappointment after disappointment - I really needed to focus on finding what works for ME and MY skin. 2013 was a great year for me and skincare because I started getting a lot more educated about what I was putting on my skin and face, I was able to do more thorough research and tested countless samples to find the best products for my face. I will always be on the hunt for the better face wash or night cream, but I think I am well on my way to finding the perfect skincare routine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's the breakdown on what I used up last year:</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePbO7wNxeUFk4eMacNk1gmXoFqPrS0Zm4zp6h1u6jEduzMU4mwkpdcJLYfN3jX1JJw9n-8KKSY4idJ_iOmXcj-3PEEIScPJsVfS6D5QcWu84rCtlUesk2jJ1X7lyO29u_FHU5TWjG6H8/s1600/bio_performance_creme_shiseido_esp_art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePbO7wNxeUFk4eMacNk1gmXoFqPrS0Zm4zp6h1u6jEduzMU4mwkpdcJLYfN3jX1JJw9n-8KKSY4idJ_iOmXcj-3PEEIScPJsVfS6D5QcWu84rCtlUesk2jJ1X7lyO29u_FHU5TWjG6H8/s1600/bio_performance_creme_shiseido_esp_art.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream - I've never used Shiseido Skincare before and I received this little deluxe sample with a promo code with Sephora online. I was super excited to try one of their products and I needed a night cream so this was perfect at the time. I used this as a night cream because it is a little thicker in consistency, and since there was no SPF. Restoring creams usually scream night cream to me as well. Although it's really good at moisturizing and I did notice plumper, more fuller skin (especially where its sunken in a bit or scarred), that's about all it did. I didn't notice a change in any of my pigmentation or any acne prevention, it did not keep my oily tzone or acne at bay. I feel this might be better for more mature skin, and I might revisit this product again for moisturization purposes - but I will most likely not repurchase in 2014.<br />

<br />
Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser - I loved loved loved the idea of Philosophy and their products made more naturally and simple. But if that were the case, truly, than why do their products have parabens!?!? Ugh, I hated finding parabens when I was reading the ingredient list - I was soooo disappointed! I actually enjoyed this as a cleanser, the scent and the freshness of the Tea Tree Oil was so refreshing and my skin looked just as fresh. But unfortunately, with the growing evidence against Parabens and how they are linked to cancer cells is just too much of a risk to continue using Philosophy products. So lame! I loved everything that I've sampled from them, but one of the reasons I started this skincare mission is to find products that not only make my skin healthy, but keep me healthy and good for the environment as well. So disappointed Philosophy! Definitely not repurchasing this one or any Philosophy products unless the reformulate their products to EXCLUDE parabens in the future.<br />

GoodSkin Eyliplex-2 Eyelift/Circle Reducer Day & Night Eye Combo - I had bought this on my last trip to the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale (to see my entire Haul from that trip,<a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/haul-estee-laudermacclinique-warehouse.html"> click here</a>), and as they were 2/$25, I still have one more that I am using. I actually really like this product, I feel that the two different formulas for day and night really target certain eye concerns. The cooling and refreshing day gel helps depuff eyes and diminish the appearance of dark circles; and the night balm is super moisturizing and helps repair skin including lines and wrinkles. If I happen to go to the next sale in March, I will definitely be picking this up again, especially if its the same price 2/$25. Great price and product, can't go wrong!</div>

Murad Renewing Cleansing Cream from the Resurgence Line - I got this from my mom, she tends to buy special value packs when they are on sale, and since I needed a cleanser at the time - I tried this one. Although I don't have a list of ingredients, I do know that Murad products have a great repertoire for being great for sensitive skin and they don't test on animals! Big points there! I did enjoy using this cleanser, I felt that it gave just enough moisturization and still felt like it really cleaned my skin. No filmy residue and it didn't dry out my skin like some lather cleansers do. If I didn't already find the perfect cleanser and one that I absolutely love and won't give up for anything - I would definitely repurchase this. I am interested in trying some other products from their line since I did like this one.</div>

Nivea Visage Light Moisturizing Day Care SPF 15 Cream - Coming from a European family and visiting Europe quite often myself, Nivea has been a household name almost my entire life. This is not the first time that I tried Nivea face cream, or this product for that matter. On one of my trips back home, I bought and loved this cream so much that I brought back 3 bottles of it (at the time, Nivea had not launched their facial skincare line in North America). When I was finishing my last bottle of day cream and needed a new one I found myself holding this cream again and figuring 'Why not?! I used and loved it before, lets try the formula now - it might be better!'. I like that there's SPF already in the cream, and it was light but moisturizing. It didn't do anything to even skintone or complexion and did nothing for my acne. Great (cheaper!) option for a good moisturizing cream, but I think I will not repurchase. I want to see what else is out there, something more natural or not tested on animals and of course - without Parabens!<br />

First Aid Beauty F.A.B. Face Cleanser w/FAB Antioxident Booster - The search for the perfect face cleanser is over! This is it! After many samples and product trials, this is the absolute best facial cleanser that I've tried and for my skin. I love that this is an acne fighting cleanser, but still gentle and super moisturizing for sensetive skin. Its so hard to find something that will both fight acne and be gentle enough for my sensetive skin. I have been using this baby since April of last year (to read about that Sephora Haul, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/05/sephora-haul-birthday-bag.html">click here</a>) and I don't intend on stopping anytime soon! Unless it's of course to try FAB's new Red Clay Cleanser! Stay tuned for that review this year! I recommend this to anyone and everyone, it will work for you! Loved it so much that I bought other products from their line and loving them so far!</div>

Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer - Again, another goodie from my last Estee Lauder Warehouse sale back in September. I had used this before when I recieved a deluxe sample from a friend, but I was happy to try it again since I got it free at the sale! It's the full sized bottle too! I used this twice a day on top of my moistuizer, and it does exactly what it says it will. I noticed a bit difference in my skin tone and discolouration. It also helped keep my acne at bay and healed my scars to where you can't even see them anymore. I don't think I will be repurchasing anytime soon. Mostly because I think this product is better suited for more mature skin. I do like to purchase and use a product for more mature skin for a short period of time (usually right after summer) to try and correct some of the sun damage I accumulated during the summer. I know I will be purchasing and using either this or their 'Laserfocus' serum, but not until after summer is over (or if I get another for free!;)).</div>

Whew! There you have (some) of my more recent empities from 2013, there were definitly more empties - I can't tell you how many different little deluxe samples I've tried - but these are the ones that I happened to hold on to. Have you tried any of these products before? What did you think? I would love to know, tell me in the box below! Or if you have any skincare suggestions that you would like me to try and maybe do a review on, make sure to let me know about them too!</div>

Start of a new week, hope everyone enjoys! I decided to start of this week on a fire-y note, a spicy recipe that's been keeping us all warm this winter. I need to document this one because I have 1 jar left and I will need to make this again soon. I already have a little waiting list for my next batch. Something this good needs to be shared, so I hope you all enjoy and try this out for yourselves!<br />

I got the inspiration from watching Chef Chuck Hugh's "Chuck's Day Off" and his take on Red Pepper Jelly (to try his recipe, <a href="http://5a64678a1aa98f8787bdf2b93ab6f78411e696a5/">click here</a>), but I decided to tweak my take a bit and use a few different types of hot peppers instead of just 1 Scotch Bonnet. I made this with my family (and myself!) in mind, we don't shy away from spicy or hot foods. We actually prefer our foods spicy, and since I had some Jalapenos and Portuguese Hot Peppers that I had grown in my garden, I knew this would be a great way to use them and impress the family at the same time.<br />

This is how I did it:<br />

First things first, the peppers need to be diced. I started with the sweet bell peppers first, I had about 7 or 8 sweet bell peppers. I used all different colours - red, yellow and orange, no discrimination here. They are all sweet and yummy and going into the pot. I used one large communal bowl to put all the peppers in once they were diced.<br />

Next we will chop up some Jalapenos. I had about 6 smaller ones from my garden (one had actually turned Orange, so it was spicier than the green ones. The redder in colour the pepper, the spicier it is. I had also bought about 4 or 5 larger Jalapenos from the supermarket. So crazy the difference in size, but that's another story. I chopped 'em all up and added them to the communal bowl, seeds and all!<br />
<br />

And lastly time to chop up the Portuguese Hot Peppers. These are all from my garden! I used about 3 fairly longer peppers, I find they are a lot longer when you grow them than in the supermarket. Everyone into the communal bowl!<br />

<br />
I grabbed a large pot and set the temperature to Medium-High on my stove top. I dumped all the peppers in and added about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and stirred that until it was almost all dissolved.<br />

When making any kind of jams, jellies or preserves, I like to use some type of fresh citrus to cut the sweetness and compliment the flavour base. With this jelly I decided to use both lemon and lime juice and shavings. I felt that the lemon will brighten the sweetness of the bell peppers and the lime will compliment the heat of the Jalapenos and hot peppers. The zest and juice of 1 whole lemon and lime are added and stirred until the sugar is completely dissolved. I also added about 1/4 Cup of water as well.<br />

<br />
Now is the time to wait. While stirring every so often, it will take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to reduce, thicken and get the peppers nice a soft. Be patient! The longer it cooks down the spicier it will be!<br />

<br />
Once its reduced down and there's a nice, thick syrup - its time to jar! I used the smaller sized jars as I thought the smaller size is perfect for a garnish preserve. I ladled the jelly in the jars slowly, while it was still hot. I made sure to fill the jars to the rim and placed the lids on after pouring. the heat will seal the jar, so no need to boil them after. This mix made about 8 1/2 of these littler sized jars.<br />

And voila! Perfect little jars filled with potent, spicy-sweet perfection! Great to garnish and eat with any kind of meats, but really nice with red meats. Nice with whitefish and perfect to put on top of tacos or any kind of Mexican or Latin foods. I seriously eat this with everything and love it as a dunking sauce for almost anything!<br />

I was able to give some away to family and considering the fact that they returned empty jars days after, I think it's a good sign, right?! Like mentioned above, I already have requests for me to make this again, so I will have to make double the batch next time I think! The last of it is in my fridge and I am using it sparingly. It was a great way for us to keep warm this past winter ;).<br />
<br />
What do you think? Do you love or hate spicy foods? I would love to hear your thoughts, leave me a comment below! Let me know if you plan on trying this recipe and how it turns out! Of course, feel free to use your own subsitutions, and please take caution as my recipe is VERY HOT! You can adjust how much spice by adding a little or a lot of hot peppers, or if you prefer to keep it sweet - don't use any hot peppers at all! Don't forget to let me know what you would like to see next on the blog and if there's a recipe you would like me to try in a future blog post!<br />

Hi Dolls,<br />
<br />
This post is long overdue, I think, can't have a beauty blog without there being a post on how to properly care for and maintain makeup brushes. Right?!<br />
<br />
One of my most asked questions at work, or just in general, is 'How do you clean your makeup brushes?' and 'How often do you clean your brushes?'. The former is easier to answer than the latter, the second question obviously depends on how often you use your brushes and what type of skin you have. The more you use your brushes and the oilier your skin, the more often you should wash your brushes.<br />

Now because I use my brushes and makeup almost everyday, I tend to wash them more often, and certain brushes more often than others. I have mostly Sigma and MAC brushes with some Sephora, Hello Kitty and Tokidoki brushes, along with 4 Beauty Blenders. I tend to wash my foundation and powder brushes more often as I feel these need the most care, and because I have so many shadow brushes I am able to rotate them - not having wash them so often.<br />
<br />
The brush cleanser that I like to use most is the Beauty Blender 'Blender Cleanser' Liquid or Solid Soap. I feel this one is the best, gets all the makeup off and returns brushes to their original colouring. It's strong enough to cleanse and make brushes white again, but still conditioning enough to keep the bristles soft. Other cleansers that I've used don't lift the stains from the brushes and I find liquid dish soap to be too drying for the soft bristles. I wash my brushes every week or once every two weeks, dependent on the usage. I also clean them before and after every makeup client I have.<br />
<br />
Let's start:<br />

<br />
I wash my brushes over the kitchen sink and lay them out to dry on a towel spread across the counter. This is the best place for me because of the amount of room I have. I use warm water; not cold and definitely not hot, either. If the water is too cold, (first of all - you'll be too cold to finish washing your brushes) the extreme cold won't help lift makeup and stains. If the water is too hot, you risk adding water contaminants like lead and chlorine to your brushes. Also, the heat strips away moisture - leaving natural bristle fibers too dry.<br />

<br />
Always wet and rinse your brushes facing down, never up against the water flow. This will just mangle the bristles and drive the makeup deeper into the base of the brush. You also risk loosening the glue that holds the brush head to the handle. Also, NEVER soak or dunk your brushes into a sink or tub filled with water. Again, this will seriously damage your brushes, possibly leaving them unusable.<br />
<br />

Once the brush is damp, I pump some of the cleanser and massage it into the brush. I will usually use the inside of my palm and brush the bristles against it, removing the makeup and making the soap lather. With some thick brushes or ones with dense bristles, I sometimes have to repeat the lather process to get everything out.<br />
<br />

When the lathering is done, I rinse the brush really well, making sure that there's no soap residue left over. You can already see that the soap has removed all the makeup and the bristles are back to their original colours.<br />

Once the brushes are thoroughly rinsed and cleaned, I use my fingers and shape the brush into its orignal shape. This is so that it dries and keeps the original shape. This also keeps the bristles closer together so that there are no random, stray bristles.<br />
<br />
And voila, fresh and clean brushes ready for use!<br />

I love how good they smell and how soft they are when they are freshly washed, one of my favourite things - even though washing them is not a favourite past time at all!<br />

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year!!<br />
<br />
I am feeling much better after my little hiatus I took and feeling really good about the year ahead. I needed to take some time off to focus on work and Christmas and all the craziness that comes along with that. It was hard for me to make the time needed to produce well thought out blogs for you guys and I figured it would be best to take a break to avoid putting out half a$$ed posts. You guys deserve better than that!<br />
<br />
On a positive note, during this time off I had the opportunity to accumlate a lot of material for the blog, so not only am I back - but I'm back with an arsenal. There will be some changes in the blog, you might not see some series that I had produced every month, but this is only because I want to introduce a lot more (better!) content that I think would be best to make this a well rounded blog. A little something here and there to keep things fresh and everyone on the spectrum happy ! :)<br />
<br />
Here's a photo recap of the past couple months up until today, from my Instagram (@fernonje) to keep you up to date with some moments from the holiday season. I kept active on my Instagram, don't forget to follow and tag all things beauty to #makeupmasochist !<br />

As always, My feed is flooded with photos of my pugs, Babii and Tuna. No better way to start my little summary. Here's Babii trying to catch the last of the sun before the snow and Old Man Winter rolled in and her as a tiny pup for #throwbackthrusdsay. Isn't she the cutest ever!!?!? The cutest!!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">We celebrated Babii's 8th Birthday in September, can't believe my baby is 8 already!! Time is going by too fast. My pugs bring me the greatest joy and are my best friends. I love them more than anything, and am blessed to be their Mama. I couldn't be luckier to have a couple of the best pugs anyone could ask for! Hope this year is the best yet for my Babii!</span></div>

We were so happy to meet out pug friend Bijou's (@bijou9) mom when she visited Toronto over the holiday season! We just wished we had more time and better weather to plan more to do! When she returns to Toronto in the summer like planned, we are going to show her the best time! Love that Instagram brings new friends into your life, and brings people together! We cherish our friendship!!</div>

Here's our two trees (yes I got a second one this year!). So happy with both of our trees! Our original tree is the one on the right, its decorated with red and gold ornaments and this year we added this cute starbucks ornament to it. It's soooo cute!! Our new tree is placed in the family room in the front of the house and I decorated it with white and silver ornaments and an Angel on top this time instead of a star. Lovee them, I was so sad to take them down!</div>

I had used some of my free time to cook a lot more and work on some of my recipes. I had also made bread with my grandma again. I love being able to do things with my grams, and she loves that I can pass down her recipe of making bread and keep the tradition going. I truely cherish these special moments I spend with her. I also mastered (and maybe even improved) my 'Pasta Carbonara' recipe (to see my original post of this recipe, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/10/food-for-thought-pasta-carbonara.html">click here</a>) by adding halved grape tomatoes, spinach and black olives. I think it was my best batch yet!</div>

And the best, I've saved for last. Here is my new baby nephew looking like the cutest baby that ever lived. I love that I have these photos on my feed, because I use them as a little pick me up with I'm feeling down. How can that not put the biggest smile on your face? Loved spending time with this special little guy!</div>

I love awards season, all the excitement, predictions, and of course the beauty and fashion! This is when the best of the best looks and outfits from Runway make their celebrity debut, something I always look forward to right after ringing in the new year!<br />
<br />
Last nights red carpet did not disappoint, it was so hard to pick which looks, hair and makeup I loved most. Of course, without saying, this is just my opinion of what were my favourites of the night, I'm sure there will be readers who disagree, but that's ok. We just have differences in opinion. Here's what I loved most from last night's festivities at the 71st annual Golden Globe Awards.<br />
<br />
Best Hair:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sandra Bullock - I loved her whole look, but I especially loved her hair and makeup. Although this just seems like a messy ponytail - its actually quite thoughtful. The tail of the pony is messy and youthful, while the deep side part keeps it fresh and put together. Paired with a berry flush on her cheeks and berry lip, she kept it light and whimsical for spring. Stunning as usual!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Olivia Wilde - What I love most about her beauty look is that it just seems so effortless! Clean, loose waves with her ombre hair colour, just makes her whole look look earthy and complete. The colour and the fact that she wore her hair down was a good choice not just for her dress type/neckline, but also keeps it to her taste. Very Bohemian-chic.<br />

Amy Adams - I love that she went after an up-do to complete her look, because I think it's paired perfectly with her dress type. If she were to wear her hair down it would overwhelm and take away from her stunning dress. Not to mention, how fun and perfect is this messy bun? I love that there's a ton of texture with the braids and twists, and the bun is messy but again - thoughtful. Just gorgeous!<br />

Jennifer Lawrence - I loved her look, but most of all, her makeup. I think her soft grey/silver smokey eye is paired perfectly with her deep red lip. It just goes so well with her edgy hair and the pop of colour on her lips is very welcome to accompany her black and white dress. A very modern twist and interpretation of a classic Hollywood look.<br />

Sofia Vergara - With her dress and necklace making quite the statement, I was happy to see that she chose to use a more neutral colour palette for her makeup. I love that she has a natural, strong brow and paired her neutral eye makeup with a fun wisp of winged liner. Top that off with the perfect coral lip to pop against the black of her dress and compliment the teal in her necklace, and shes hit it out of the park!<br />

Olivia Wilde - I loved her overall beauty look - hair and makeup. I think both complimented each other and her dress well. I especially loved her makeup though, because I think it was genius of her makeup artist to do a purple smokey eye instead of a traditional black/gray smokey eye. The purple smokey eye is still soft enough to remind us that she is with child and makes the green in her eyes and dress really pop. Perfect makeup colour choice and I love that she's paired it with a trendy nude lip.<br />

Emma Watson - I loved her bright, red/orange dress and pant hybrid outfit. I think its genius of the house of Christian Dior to produce such a piece that actually makes us look at a dress and pants outfit and not be completely horrified! Not to mention that the orange and blue colour combination is super fun and youthful and really - Emma looks good in everything. Her hair and makeup paired it perfectly. So much fun and so chic!<br />

Taylor Swift - I have to admit, at first glace I was like "Whoa!", but when she finally came up the carpet and I got a good look at the dress, I fell in love! The fabric is a little heavy and can easily be interpreted as matronly, but the cascading waves, draping and strapless neckline keep it youthful. As well as the colour block and colour. How fun is this red/pink?! And the details on the back are gorgeous! This Carolina Herrera dress really brought out her fun side while still having that classic Hollywood Glam style. Love, love LOVE!<br />

Emma Roberts - She looked so stunning! I loved her overall look, something I didn't quite expect from such a young and edgy actress. I was pleasantly surprised by this sleek black mermaid style dress. I absolutely love the neckline, its gorgeous and she paired the dress well with a bright necklace which popped against the black colour, along with that beautiful engagement ring she rocked for the first time. Congrats!<br />

Olivia Wilde - I loved, loved, LOVED everything about this look! From her perfect ombre, long waves to her purple smokey eye to her green sequined gown and most of all - the baby bump. She is doing pregnancy right! Such an effortless and glamorous look there's nothing that I would want to see differently or do differently. It's just that perfect! So hard to choose just one, I loved a lot of looks last night - but this is one that we won't soon forget!<br />

My dad has always been an inspiration to me and my sister and shown us that family means everything. We sacrifice, work hard and love hard for our family. There't no other greater reason or reward than to give your everything to your family. These are some family values and morals that I have learned and have been instilled in not only my mind, but in my being. Gifts for my soul from the most important man in my life, my Dad.<br />

My dad turned the tender age of 55, and we celebrated by going to Mandarin restaurant. No better place to celebrate and stuff yourself for the rest of the week. I hope that everything was to your liking dad and you had a great day with all of us. It was a special day for a special man. Your everyone's favourite uncle, colleague, brother-in-law, and brother (we all know it!), and that's because you are an amazing person and love all of us with all your heart and make it known. There's not one 'I love you' that I don't hear and appreciate everyday, every chance. So I want to take every opportunity to let you know how much we love and adore you! Hope this year is the best yet!!<br />

This is going to be a hard one. I've been purposely procrastinating doing this or even leaving my condolences because I have been having a hard time mustering up the strength to do so. I will be writing this with a heavy heart, but it's the least I could do to pay tribute to a special girl that brought so much joy to myself and so many others on a daily basis.<br />

Sue was the beloved fur-baby of friend and fellow pug nut, Trisha (@trisherpie on Instagram), and I have known and followed for over a year now. To be honest, I initially loved Trisha and her account because of Sue bear. I couldn't resist that face and fell in love instantly. Over the course of our friendship, I've gotten to know Trisha and her pug family and have been attached to them all. Besides Trisha being awesome and one tough cookie, I've always admired her for her crazy love for her pugs and others. She often leaves messages for me and others in our wonderful pug community on Instagram and it wouldn't be the same without her.<br />

I am always so grateful for how much Trisha shares with us, especially when she shares her precious pugs and their adventures. Piggy sue was the eldest, followed by twin trouble Rudy and Penny and a Pomeranian somewhere in the mix too. I always look forward to seeing them everyday, especially photos of Sue and I am so thankful that she understood how much and how often we needed to see Sue in her last weeks. Trisha did a beautiful job of making and sharing special memories, showing us a happy and very loved Sue bear.<br />

Sue was incredibly loved and happy all the way to her last moments, you could tell how much she loved her Momma and her family. She looked like she had an amazing life and she was blessed to have a mom and family who would do (and did) anything for her. I also truly believe that Sue was a blessing in Trisha's life and their bond was a very special one. Sue was a very special girl and lived the life any dog would be very lucky to have.<br />

I just want to pay my condolences and hope that Trisha and anyone who knew Sue, know how truly sorry I am. My heart has broken for you, I can only imagine how hard this must have been and how difficult it must be to remain strong and positive. I just hope that you take solace in knowing that although Sue is know longer with us, she lives on in so many of our hearts all around the world. We, the Pug Nation of the World, all shared an immense love together for your little piggy Sue. We can't thank you enough for sharing her with us, but more importantly - doing such an amazing and beautiful job of preparing us to say goodbye to Sue. It was perfect and I'm sure Sue wouldn't have wanted it any different. We could always tell she was proud to have you as her mom, as I'm sure she still is now. We are grieving with you and send you lots of prayers during this hard time.<br />

There's no way(in HELL ;) :[ :[ :[ ) that I could not celebrate and honour my favourite Holiday with it's very own post! Halloween is the major reason that I love Fall/Autumn so much and I always look forward to it every year. Just something about the air at this time of year, around this Holiday that gets me excited and want to do festive things.<br />

Of course, the festivities don't start until we have carved this years jack-o-lanterns! Every year I try to push myself harder and go bigger with my jack-o-lanterns, and this year I kept to tradition by carving one scary jack-o-lantern and one creative design. We decided that I would carve a scary jack-o-lantern (as scary as I could create) and my partner would carve the other pumpkin as the 'Death Star' from 'Star Wars'.<br />

For my pumpkin, I just carved it traditionally - gut the pumpkin, hallow out the inside and scrap the walls, and cut out the design. I drew out a couple of designs and this was the spookiest one that I could come up with (it looked much scarier on paper than on pumpkin, but I think I captured the essence of scary lol). I named him 'Razorteeth Rick'.<br />

For the 'Death Star' pumpkin, we gut the pumpkin as usual, but there wasn't much scraping needed because the technique is not to cut out the lines, but to carve them out. This keeps everything intact or else you would have a checkerboard pumpkin. We used chopsticks to carve out the lines horizontally first and the vertically, but used spoons to carve out the circle first. This took about 4 hours from start to finish, but quite the accomplishment!!<br />

We decorated out house again this year with spiderwebs, skeletons and tombstones. We added a little bit more this year to our Halloween decor (which makes my little black heart happy). Here's how it looked on (a gloomy and wet) Halloween Day.<br />

This year I had to work most of Halloween, but lucky for me that I have to dress up for work! This years theme at work was 'Dead Dolls', not my vote but still lots of fun to do! I couldn't believe the designs and art that everyone came up with, it was all so good! I had lots of fun creating this 'Cracked Doll' makeup and I was surprised that it came out so well without having to white out my entire face. I only used a white pencil as my base all around my eye and to coat my bottom lid and waterline. I still wanted it to be pretty and I loved playing with false lashes this way! So fun! What do you think about my rendition of this classic Halloween 'Cracked Doll' makeup? Be nice - no tricks! It was my first time and these pictures are after it was already 9hrs+ old ;)!</div>

By the time I had come home from work, we had just given out our last piece of candy. But at least I came home to a pack of wolves, some blood(wine) and a few scary movies to finish the days festivities. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way :[ !<br />

I've just noticed that my last two posts are looking funny live (if you can see them at all!), and I am currently trying to fix the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll have them up and fully functional by today hopefully, because I have some new posts to share!<br />
<br />
Well October is just flying by now isn't it?<br />
<br />
I got my Julep Maven box a little while ago, sorry for not being able to post about it sooner. Halloween is approaching and its one of the busiest times of year for us MUA's. I'll be doing my best to keep up with posts until then, hopefully all will be back to normal once Halloween is over!<br />

The reason I chose the 'Classic with a Twist' box (again!) this month is because I really love the blood-red colour that comes with it. Honestly I wasn't too impressed with this months selection, I thought they would do more of a Halloween theme. I was expecting dark Halloween colours with maybe some black glitter coats or come crackle top coats... but not so much. This blood-red colour was the closest 'Halloween-y' colour I found within the choices, so that's why I chose this box.<br />

This month, Mavens got to receive Julep's double ended Eye-Kohl Pencil with their Maven nail colours. There was also a Volcanic Ash Mask available with the Beauty Box, but no nail colours are in that choice - just beauty products (I added on the mask to review it up against MAC's 'Volcanic Ash Exfoliator', stay tuned for a review on that soon!). I am actually looking forward to using and testing the Eye-Kohl Pencil, I have been on an eyeliner binge lately and most recently have been turned on to brown eyeliner. I will be doing a review of this lovely as well once I am able to give both colours a good try.<br />

Besides the beauty pencil, this month I received an olive-griege nail laquer ('Winona') along with the blood-red colour ('Anisa'), and I also choose to add on a colour from the 'Bombshell' box - 'Valerie'. It was hard to choose from the 'Bombshell' box and 'Classic with a Twist' box because I love this teal colour! It's super pretty with gold shimmer! Super excited to try this classic fall colour!</div>
<br />
I decided to use the red for this months manicure with no accent nail, this time. The reason I chose to use this colour first, because as mentioned, its the perfect blood red and Halloween is coming up. Blood, Halloween, nails... it just made sense. But as a little side note, I have to say I am a little disappointed in the formula for this colour, because after 1 full day of wear there was noticeable edge wear showing and by the next day I had full chips. This is surprising as Julep nail colours usually last me a couple days before showing signs of wear and chipping. :(.<br />
<br />
Let's get into the manicure, shall we!<br />
<br />

<br />
First, I always start by making sure my nails are well groomed and scrubbed clean of debris before applying Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) to the skin around my nail beds. This helps me colour in the lines and makes clean up easier and faster later. Although, another side note, this red colour did stain my skin and was surprisingly difficult to remove off the skin even with the Vaseline.<br />
<br />
I start with the first coat...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
I felt that a third coat wasn't needed as the colour applied pretty evenly and was opaque with two coats. Usually two coats with Julep nail colours is enough, and this was true of this colour. I decided not to apply a top coat, because I didn't want my blood red nails to be too glossy or shiny. This could have been one of the reasons the nail colour chipped so early on me. If you're trying this nail colour for this first time and need it to stay, don't skip the top coat. It may be what makes this colour last on the nail. I will be using a top coat next time I use this colour, for sure.<br />
<br />
and voila!<br />

I know this might seem a little late, but I have a good reason as to why. I was still searching for two crucial pieces that I needed to have from this collection, or it would be a void in me that no other lipsticks can fill! I finally got 2 out of the 4 items that I didn't catch before they sold out online (I ordered the hour it came out online, and the 4 items I ABSOLUTELY had to have were sold out. It. was. crazy.), so I am still on the hunt for two items. I figured that this would suffice for now and if I happen to get my hands on what I am missing, I will add that to this post. So check back to see if I was successful in finding the missing pieces ;).<br />
<br />

<br />
This collection released in-store first in North America on the 26th of September and released online on the 30th of September, and remarkably selling out most of the product in 3 hours after their online launch. Same story as their previous online exclusive collection launch of Riri Hearts MAC Summer 2013 collection (consisting of 3 lipsticks, Lustre Drops and one blush/bronzer combo), there was a huge wait time to get through the initial page to make your order. It took me almost an hour and as mentioned - the most anticipated colours had already sold out. This forced me to wait it out to see if they might ever restock (which was unlikely) or try to buy it off of someone on eBay for a ridiculous amount of money. I'm glad I didn't do the latter because a week ago, my MAC store got a few tiny boxes of more product and I was able to score 2 lipsticks, 'Nude' and 'Talk That Talk'!! Woo! Now I am on the hunt for backups of these colours ;).<br />
<br />
Without have to elaborate further, I'm sure you get that I'm trying to say that this collection was in CRAZY high demand. I'm lucky to have gotten out of it unscathed and with the majority of the products. I'll go into more detail later as to what I'm missing and why.<br />
<br />
So here is the round up of my (almost complete) Riri Heart's MAC Fall 2013 collection along with swatches:<br />

Nude Matte Lipstick - This is a medium brown gray-tinged, creamy colour with tiny traces of rose in certain lights and a matte finish. I love this colour and I especially think its on trend with the whole 90's inspiration fad that's been hanging around since last spring. I love that I can wear this everyday, and play with the tones using different lip liners. To play up the gray, I use 'Stone' Lip Pencil, to play up the brown and warm tones, I use 'Cork' Lip Pencil. The limits are endless with this one, I especially love that darker skin tones can pull this off without looking chalky!</div>

RiRi Woo Retro Matte Lipstick - This is a blue toned, bright medium red lipstick with a (super)matte finish. I put the word 'super' in brackets because I feel like the Retro Mattes are the matte-est of the Matte! They're super Matte! I love that I get almost 8 hours of wear with this Retro Matte formula, with very little fading by the 8th hour. This is the red that everyone needs in their lipstick collection. If you have only one red, make sure it's this red (or its twin 'Ruby Woo'). When I tell costumers about this colour, I always like to add that the blue tone makes teeth look whiter. Definite bonus!</div>

Talk That Talk Retro Matte Lipstick - This is a dark burgundy colour with deep berry tones and a matte finish. Again, huge bonus on the wear time with these Retro Matte lipsticks, this one wore on me for 7 hours and 45 mins with the last twenty minutes with noticeable fading and stain. I love, love, love this colour for Fall, and its super pretty on all skin tones. Dark or light, this colour works as long as you have the confidence to wear it like Rihanna would want you to! This is going to be one I will be reaching for a lot this Fall and Winter.</div>

Who's That Chick? Frost Lipstick - This is a medium vibrant orange, with orange shimmer and a translucent, metallic finish. I typically don't have luck with orange lipsticks - let alone frost finish lipstick, but I picked up this colour mostly to layer on top of others. I like certain colours and lippies, not for the colour on its own, but more for the colour it could be when layered. I love to layer this one on top of pinks to make a nice coral and its actually really nice on top of 'Riri Woo'. Since its a frost, it wore 5 hours on me. So many fun lip recipes to try with this baby!</div>

RiRi Woo - This is exactly the same tone and colour as the lipstick and lipgloss, a perfect bright red with blue undertones. I love wearing lip liners with reds and dark colours, so this purchase was a must. MAC 'Cherry' Lip Liner is very very close, just a smidgen deeper - but this is a perfect match!</div>

Talk That Talk - This is exactly the same tone and colour as the lipstick, a deep berry burgundy. I love that I can use this lip liner on its own, with 'Talk That Talk' lipstick and with other MAC colours like 'Diva' and 'Dark Side'. Makes a perfect dark purple pout when matched with the lipstick!</div>

Deep Brunette - I can really go either way with this colour or 'Deep Dark Brunette', but I found that this one matched me just a touch better. I actually got a back up of this one because I've been wanting to switch to this brow pencil for awhile now. I'm just waiting for the shadows that I am currently using in my brow routine to finish first. Well that didn't really work out as planned since I got this baby and still have quite a bit of shadow left before I can break her in. I love that this formula gives a nice soft finish, almost as if you were using shadow but more precise like a pencil. I got 2 because its just so much prettier in this packaging!</div>

282SE Duo-Fibre Shader Brush - I had to get this one, I wish it was full sized! But it's so cute that I don't even mind! I love duo-fibre brushes, I just find that they perform the absolute best, so why not get a cute little pink one? It's perfect to fit in my purse or case and I love that its sooo girly! (insert girlish giggle here).</div>

That's it, so far, for my Riri Hearts Mac's Fall 2013 collection. I am still on the hunt for 'Diamond' Creme Blush and 'Bad Girl Gone Good' Blush, not to mention backups of 'Talk That Talk' and 'Nude' Lipsticks. So if you know where a girl can get her hands one some, hook a sister up. I am still on the fence whether to pick up the 'Giga Black Lash' Mascara, 'Riri Woo' Lipglass and the Liquid Last Liner, just because it's all so pretty and I'm kinda anal.<br />

All in all, I loved this collection! The packaging is absolutely beautiful, and that's what initially drew me to this collection, but the colours made me love it. I am not disappointed one bit. I say that because I have read that people are disappointed with this collection, for whatever reason. I think that this is a true interpretation of Rihanna in a makeup collection, that only MAC could possibly do. I truly believe that no other company could have composed a collection so true to RiRi and what she represents. Kudos! I'm super ga-ga over it!<br />

Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush - I can't believe I got a full sized brush! It says 'Sample Brush', but I'm almost positive that it's full sized. Yay! I love brushes, trying new brushes, playing with brushes - everything but cleaning them. Super excited to finally try this brand and a brush none the less! Off to a great start with my Glam Bag so far!</div>

Zoya Professional Lacquer in 'Giovanna' - another brand I've always wanted to try but haven't gotten the chance to - until now! I've always known the brand and known people to love their lacquers, so I super excited to try out this nail colour! I love this pearlized teal, it's so pretty and reminds me of mermaids. Let me know in the comments box below if you would like to see a review of this item, you will definitely see it in future manicures!</div>

Ole Henriksen Truth Cream Advanced Hydration Facial Moisturizer - I have heard about this brand and have seen it for sale at Sephora and other department stores, but I have not heard any opinions or reviews - so we will have to see how this goes. I am always looking for a great travel sized moisturizer, and I don't like committing to full size skincare with a line that's new to me - so this is perfect. And if this ends up being a total fail, at least the little jar it comes in can be reused for something awesome!</div>

Style Sexy Hair Spray Clay Texturizing Spray Clay - another great travel goodie! I have used their hairspray in the past, and I can't remember anything negative so it must have been an OK experience. I have never used a Clay, so I'm excited to try something new! Hoping this will give me 'beach hair' in the Fall and Winter months.</div>

Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics Mineral Shimmer in 'Navy' - Again, this is another brand that I have not heard of, but that's what Ipsy is all about right? Trying new things and beauty brands :).

Wow it's already Thursday, I've been so busy this week that I hardly saw it pass me by! Since there has been a change in our work schedules recently, I have taken on the task of cooking meals. So I wanted to document and share with you all my failures, successes and everything in between when it comes to cooking. I have also made cooking one of my Fall Bucket List tasks (to read my full bucket list, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/10/fall-bucket-list.html">click here</a>), so I want to make sure I stick to it, and hope you'll try the recipes with me!<br />

<br />
In all honesty, a couple weeks ago I was looking for something to watch on TV, and came across 'Chef at Home' and 'Chef Michael's Kitchen' on the Food Network - 1 whole hour of Chef Michael Smith! I've watched these shows before but had a hard time catching them on a regular basis. So now that they're on everyday at 11am, when I'm home - I always tune in. This was what originally made me want to cook more, he inspired me and made it look so easy! This recipe (and most likely others to come) will be Chef Michael Smith inspired, but I will be putting my own twist to it a bit ;)!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This recipe first caught my eye because it seemed so quick and easy, but also because my partner LOVES pasta. I have made some tweeks to the recipe, the biggest one being that I used chicken bacon rather than prosciutto and pancetta. We don't eat pork, not for any religious reason or anything, but because we just prefer other meats instead. The other little personal add on is that I add parsley to the mix- you'll read about that later too. Feel free to use the original ingredients or even mixing in some of your own!<br />
<br />
Let's get started...<br />

So first thing I like to prepare, since it takes the longest to cook, is the bacon. I start with 8 slices and cut them into small strips before adding them to a hot pan with some oil. It seems like a lot of bacon at the time, but these small pieces will crisp up and really are the star of the dish.<br />

<br />
While my bacon is frying up, I salt my pasta water (I like to do this before I add the pasta, and I'm not stingy either!) and a table spoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil so my pasta wont stick. I add 1 box of penne once my water has boiled over. You can use different pastas if you like, I just find that penne really holds the sauce well for this dish. Linguine, fettuccine, any pasta that would be used with cream pastas can be used instead of the penne.<br />

Now that my pasta is boiling and my bacon bits are frying, now is a good time to make the carbonara sauce. Honestly while you are making this dish, you will find that its a lot quicker to make than you might have expected. This order of steps helps keep it quick and time efficient, I find. So to make the sauce we start with 4 egg yolks. The allure and appeal of the carbonara sauce is the hearty, yet cheesy flavour of the sauce. The egg yolks are added raw with the sauce to the hot pasta, and the heat from the pasta cooks the egg yolks - making it safe for consumption.<br />

<br />
In a separate bowl, I put in the four egg yolks and add equal parts marscarpone cheese and parmesan cheese flakes - 1 cup of each. You want to add the seasoning to the sauce rather than season the dish after adding the cheese, adding the seasoning post cheese and bacon will be harder to evenly distribute through the dish. For seasoning, I put in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, salt and pepper. I mixed that all together and had it ready for when my pasta was done.<br />

Once my pasta was done and drained, my bacon was nice and crispy, I grabbed my sauce and mixed it all three elements together in the same pot I cooked the pasta in. Garnish as preferred, parsley, grated cheese, etc. This served about 5, so it's a great and quick option for a family without much time consumed to make it.<br />

I have to say that everyone who had some of this pasta, really loved it (huge relief... But I couldn't go wrong with Chef Michael Smith in my corner!). I'm not usually one for pasta, I find it heavy and carbs are not friends, but I really liked this pasta because of the flavours of the sauce. I will definitely be keeping this one in my routine, I can't believe how quickly it was done!<br />

Since October is 'National Breast Cancer Awareness Month', I see it only fitting to do a manicure to honour and bring awareness of this disease that affects so many. I have been lucky enough to not experience the big C, as well as my family members, but I have friends that have been diagnosed with this condition and fought it into remission - thank goodness! They are definitely some of the luckier ones and they know it as well. In honour of those lucky and unlucky, I created this manicure to bring awareness and promote prevention of this awful disease.<br />

Not only is pink the official colour for Breast Cancer Awareness, it has also been the 'It' colour of the season. I love wearing pink on my nails, it's one of my favourite colours to sport when I'm feeling girly. Naturally, this manicure was a labour of love. I grabbed my two favourite pinks - OPI 'It's A Girl' & MAC 'Comic Cutie' (Archie's Girls LE Collection) and these new nail art brushes that I picked up from my local beauty supply. These brushes are a great deal and come in super handy for nail art! Here are the steps to how I created this nail art:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I started with clean, groomed nails and cuticles. after washing my hands and making sure they were dry, I applied petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the skin around my nail beds. I find that his helps me "colour inside the lines" and makes any oopsies easy to clean later.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I applied my first coat of OPI 'It's A Girl' polish...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And a second...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And a third.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This polish can be pretty sheer, so 3 coats or more are needed to ensure a streak free and opaque application. I made sure to let each coat dry before applying the next one and once I finished, I let it completely dry for almost an hour before doing anything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once my base colour was nice and dry, I grabbed my 'Comic Cutie' polish and one of my new nail art brushes to paint on the ribbon. I chose a thinner and longer nail art brush, I wanted the bristles to be more pliable to paint a smooth loop for the ribbon.<br />
<br />
In small strokes I painted the shape of the ribbon on my ring finger.<br />
<br />

<br />
Once that dried a bit, I applied more polish to the ribbon, giving it a second coat of colour to even it out and correct the shape. Finishing touch was a coat of clear top coat to seal it all in, and...<br />
<br />
...Voila!<br />

For anyone that has had his awful illness or had someone close suffer from this, God bless you. For the lucky ones, - you go girl! Lets all show our support to the brave women and their families and bring as much awareness as we can this month! And don't forget self examination and early diagnosis is key to a high survival rate. I encourage you and hope you encourage other women to self examine often and schedule mammograms as required. Such easy steps to save your life and others.<br />

<br />
I know this is late, to be honest I almost forgot to post this because I'm excited to post other things. But, there's no way I could not post my favourite's from last month and feel okay about it. Sorry its a little late, but I'm a little OCD about these things.<br />

Last month with the introduction to Fall, along with that came so much fun and opportunity to be had - in both life and beauty. I absolutely love Fall, even though I am always super-reluctant to let go of Summer, I love Fall colours, how the Fall changes the scenery around us and most of all - the Fall Holidays! Fall is always like a new start for me, new things are always afoot and I wanted to give myself a good head start and introduction to Fall (and maybe a little boost to get my Fall Bucket List done - To read my list, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/10/fall-bucket-list.html">click here</a>). September, I felt was a fabulous way to do just that!<br />
<br />
Here's what I loved most in September:<br />

A little tidbit about me that you might not know of - I LOVE the Wizard of OZ and anything related to it (ie. books, movies, TV shows, theatre, etc). Since the last week of September marked the 75th Anniversary of the movie production, I thought it only wise to pay tribute with this cute manicure. I used this Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish to achieve this Ruby Red Slipper inspired look with a cute yellow brick road detail (for the complete tutorial, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/nails-of-week-happy-75th-anniversary.html">click here</a>). I had so much fun with this manicure, can't wait to do it again! Hmm, costume ideas! ;)<br /><br />

Another manicure that I absolutely loved was my Maven Manicure this past month, I felt with the help of this gorgeous dark plum colour it helped me get back in touch with my dark side! That's another thing I love about this season, you cant help but feel kinda creepy-vampy-sexy in a way, and dark colours definitely do that for me! Such a rich, dark colour that kicked me into Fall mode, which I needed to be honest (for the full September review and manicure tutorial, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/maven-manicure-my-julep-september-box.html">click here</a>). Excited to keep up with my new found darkness, I can't wait for my October box!!<br />

Speaking of beauty subscriptions, last month I had signed up with a new type of beauty subscription and got to share my first bag of goodies with my readers! I signed up to Ipsy's Glam Bag subscription that, like Julep's Maven program, sends out a box/bag of goodies for you to try and love (to see my first Glam Bag from Ipsy, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/i-heart-ipsy-my-september-glam-bag.html">click here</a>). I love this new program and the community on the site! Come find me, I'm MakeupMasochist, of course!<br />

One of the items I was really excited to get with my Ipsy Glam Bag, was Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen. I had heard such great things about this brand and since I love this type of eyeliner, I knew I had to do a review for my lovelies (to read my full review of this product, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/rave-or-rant-jesses-girl-liquid.html">click here</a>). If anyone reading this loves eyeliner pens, than you definitely need to read my review on it and try it for yourself. I'll make sure to leave links at the bottom of this page for more information and don't forget to leave me what you thought of this eyeliner in the comments box below! It's a staple in my collection now and for all my makeup looks, I looove it!<br />

My favorite makeup pieces that I used last month were definitely the pieces I purchased from MAC's 'Indulge' Limited Edition Collection (to see my Indulge haul and swatches, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/08/mac-indulge-collection-haul-swatches.html">click here</a>), and I had posted one of my favourite ways to wear my babies from this collection. There were so many pieces from this collection to work with and so many looks that could be done, but I'm a sucker for purples and gold together, and this look was on rotation most often (to see my full look and read the tutorial, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/makeup-look-indulge.html">click here</a>). MAC's 'Feed the Senses' Lipstick is still one of my everyday favourites and I deeply regret not getting backups of this colour. So pretty to wear with any makeup look! <3_<3! Did you love this look? I think its perfect for Fall!<br />

I decided that this month, I would skip out on some of the collections that MAC put out there, since most of what was introduced is permanent now anyway. Their 'Retro Matte' Lipsticks, Pro Longwear Eyeliners, Paintpots and Lipliners, are all AMAZING and GORGEOUS, but since their permanent now, I figured I would take my time to collect what I really want (and save my money for some upcoming huge LE collections that I'm dying for! ;)).<br />

Since I was missing a Limited Edition Collection from MAC and showing my readers some makeup porn from my hauls, I thought a good way to fill the void was to go shopping at an exclusive MAC/Estee Lauder/Clinque Sale. Every 3 months, Estee Lauder and all the brands under their umbrella, hold a sale here in the east end of Toronto. This is a 'by-invitation only' event and I was lucky enough to get my paws on some tickets to go. I got some great beauty and hair products (that I am currently reviewing for future 'Rant or Rave?' posts), but my favourite items that I purchased from that sale were my MAC brushes (to read my haul, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/haul-estee-laudermacclinique-warehouse.html">click here</a>). I bought the '205' & '184' Fan brushes, these were my biggest scores of the sale! I love my new brushes and these babies have found a special place in my kit!<br />

My favourite moment and day in September was when my new nephew Marcus was born. September 4th, 2 days before he was due, he came into this world and has brought such love into our family. It was instant love that was more than we could have ever imagined it to be. We love you so much my little guy!<br />

Well since I had a 'Summer Bucket List' (to see my Summer Bucket List, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/06/summer-bucket-list.html">click here</a>), I thought that I would make a bucket list for every season. Why not? Why should summer get all the glory?<br />

I am happy to say that I completed 5 out of the 8 things listed on my Summer Bucket List, and I hope that I will do as well with this bucket list for Fall - if not better! I have sat down and pondered for awhile as to what I would like to accomplish in this festive season and came up with a few good ideas. Here is what I came up with, hoping I can cross them all off before Old Man Winter shows up.<br />

1. Decorate the house with Fall and Holiday decor - We do have some Fall decorations from the past couple years, but they are mostly Halloween decorations that can double as Fall decor. This year I want to make the house more cosy and welcoming with Fall decor and colour. I love the warmth that Fall colours bring, and I am hoping it will do the same for the home. Granted, this item on the list also includes Halloween, so I will definitely be loading up my decoration arsenal for the kiddies this year! :[</div>

2. Cook More - I've always known and understood the ideas and methods of cooking, however I have never really had an interest in it. Mostly because I have this weird phobia of smelling like food due traumatic experiences from my childhood and going home for lunch. Recently, I have taken a huge interest in cooking, and I have to give credit to some chefs on TV that are inspiring me to cook more and try new foods. I have already tried my hand at few dishes, but I want to incorporate more cooking into my everyday routine. I was thinking of starting a recipe/cooking series on the blog, let me know in the comments box below if that's something you would like to see in the future!</div>

3. Start Christmas Shopping - People who know me, know I start my Christmas shopping early. Like October early. In fact, I already have my list ready and have some ideas as to what I am going to get for whom. I like to start early and shop online, as I find that stores have more deals and discounts on their online web-stores. Plus there's always special coupon/discount/promotional codes out there to make it even more of a bargain, you just have to look for them. Another reason I like to shop online for my Christmas Shopping, is because I earn cashback with Ebates.ca (I will leave a link for this site at the bottom of this post for more information on their 'Cashback' program)! And they like to double the cashback percentages for the Holidays, so take advantage and be done early! I know I will!</div>

4. Try my hand at Pumpkin recipes - I already make some Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes around this time of year, every year for the past 4 years. People expect these cupcakes from me, but this year I want to hit them with a curve-ball and try my hand at a few other pumpkin recipes. Whether its a savoury or sweet, food or beverage, I will make it with Pumpkin! If you're a pumpkin everything lover, leave me your pumpkin recipes in the comments box or email me, and I would love to try! I will be posting these recipes in the future, so if your recipe gets chosen I will feature it right here on the blog along with the recipe master! Can't wait to see what you love to make with pumpkin!</div>

5. Do more Fall activities to be more active - Of course, no Bucket List of mine would be complete without a healthy lifestyle change. I love the fall for getting active, its not stifling hot and you don't feel bad on missing out on any Summertime fun because of working out. I want to get out more, maybe start running or start taking some sort of class - yoga, Pilate's, etc. to help keep the pounds away. God knows I need the help, holidays are super dangerous for gorging and packing on a Christmas turkey on your behind! Hopefully with the mix of cooking my own (healthier) meals and being more active, I won't have to make a 'New Years Resolution' to lose the holiday weight I gained. Here's hoping.</div>

6. Fall DIY project - Now that the weather is cooler and I am not outdoors as much, I want to use the time I have now to make at least 1 DIY project this fall. I want to do a Fall Decor project to help me with the first item on my bucket list, or a Winter decor project to get ready for the next season. It doesn't necessarily need to be a decor DIY, I am also looking into Fashion and Beauty DIY. As this was an item on my Summer Bucket List that I did not get to accomplish, this will have priority on this seasons bucket list. Can't wait to get to it and show you what I come up with!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I decided to keep it a little shorter this season, as Fall is super-crazy busy for me. I have a ton of birthdays, a wedding coming up in November, plus other functions and fun that I want to try and fit in between. So I decided to keep it a little more reasonable, not to set myself up to fail or get overwhelmed with too many tasks.<br />
<br />
Do you make bucket lists, like I do? What's on your bucket list this Fall? Do we have similar goals, or what would you do different? I would love to hear in the comments section below!

We girls love our makeup and beauty products. We also love to be nosy! I love getting to know what beauty products friends and colleagues love to use, use everyday, not love so much and what's in their makeup bags and collections! Admit it, if you love makeup - you love snooping in your frinds makeup bags to see what goodies you find or what's in the big shopping bag in their backseat! It's ok, it's human makeup junkie nature.<br />
<br />
I love to shop at Sephora and I especially like to shop online, I find that I receive way more samples and there are tons of promotional codes to apply to get free goodies or discounts. I usually buy every 3 months or so, especially if I am replenishing products that I use most frequently. Here's what I got from my most recent shopping trip on Sephora.com.<br />

Wen 'Sweet Almond Mint' Healthy Hair Care Kit (3pc): I cannot tell you how long and how bad I have been wanting to try Wen after seeing the informercial so many times on TV. The reason I have waited so long is because I had quite the stock of shampoo and needed to get through those first! When I was about half way through my last bottle of shampoo, I got online and ordered the 3 piece kit to start. This comes with the 'Cleansing Conditioner', the 'Replenishing Treatment Mist' and the 'Re-Moist Intensive Hair Treatment' - everything you need to have healthy, beautiful hair. I'm so excited to try this and will do a full review of the system, I'm LOVING the scent so far!</div>

Hello Kitty by Sephora 'Minty' Nail Polish: If you know me, you know I love Hello Kitty with a crazy, childlike passion. So when I saw that they restocked in this colour AND it was on sale - I couldn't leave it in my basket. I like that this polish dried more on the green side as other polishes I have that are similar but more on the blue side. Love this colour of spring, stashing it away until then!</div>

Urban Decay b6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray: I have heard such great things about this spray especially in how it helps reduce the appearance of pore size - which always interests me. This is described on the box as "Redness Reducing. Pore Minimizing. Oil Absorbing." - all things I want to hear about a prep spray! The vitamins in the product are not only supposed to prep the skin before makeup application but also improve skins overall appearance. I'm super excited to try this out, review for this will be posted once I give it a good trial run.</div>

First Aid Beauty (FAB) Face Cleanser & Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer: I had spoken about FAB's Face Cleanser a few times before (<a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/05/april-favourites.html">here</a> & <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/05/sephora-haul-birthday-bag.html">here</a>), and have been in love with this product from the first time I used it. It's great because it controls my acne without drying out or irritating my skin. Finding products for acne prone - sensitive skin can be tough, but since I loved the Face Cleanser so much I had the confidence to buy the moisturizer too. I had recently ran out of my day moisturizer and wasn't planning to repurchase, so I replaced it with the Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer hoping it would work just as well (or better!) than the Face Cleanser. I will be doing a review of this as well, lots of reviews to look forward to in the future!</div>

Hello Kitty by Sephora Pen Pal Eyeliner in 'Chocolate Milk': Again, I mostly bought this because it's Hello Kitty and because it was on sale, but I also bought it because it's an eyeliner pen (I love eyeliner pen styles, see a review of one of my favourites<a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/rave-or-rant-jesses-girl-liquid.html"> here</a>). It's a nice dark brown colour, which I don't have in my collection, especially not in the felt pen type. You guessed it!- a review will be posted on this too!! :):)</div>
<br />
<br />
That's it for the products I actually purchased. If you're a frequent shopper at Sephora, you probably already know about their Beauty Insider rewards program. It's basically a rewards program where you accumulate points by making purchases and those points can be redeemed for deluxe sample products. Another great tip to get some free goodies when shipping online at Sephora is to Google 'Sephora Promotion Codes' and a list will come up of a bunch of different codes that you can apply to your purchase. You can only apply one code at a time, and some do expire so make sure the one you want is valid. Sephora always offers 3 free samples with purchase online, so that's also a great way to try out some products before buying the full size.<br />

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Repair Eye Seurm: I had got this goodie for free by redeeming 100 Beauty Insider points with their Beauty Insider Program. I've never been able to get around to getting my hands on anything from this brand and I always wanted to, so I am happy to try this deluxe sample. But I'm really dying to try their highlighting and illuminating powders.<br />

Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation in 'Medium-Neutral': To get this baby for free, it took a little more research! As I mentioned before, Sephora online always has a lot of promotional codes out there in internet world - you just have to search for them. I found a great promo code, (it's unfortunately expired on Sept 30) and got this cute little Tarte Foundation. I've always liked to Tarte and really enjoy their Maracuja Oil (to see my review of the Oil product, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/07/rave-or-rant-tarte-pure-maracuja-oil.html">click here</a>), so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works for me!<br />

Armani Code, Miss Dior & Marchesa Eau de Parfum and de Toilette: The other really big perk about shopping online at Sephora, besides the coupon codes, are the 3 free samples that always come with your order. They usually have a good mix of perfumes, makeup, hair and skincare product samples, but since I am still on the search for my new signature scent I chose these three. When it comes to scents I really have to wear the scent for a couple days or so to see how much I really love (or hate!) a perfume/fragrance. It's happened plenty a time where I think I like a scent on me, wear it for a full day or two and then end up HATING it! I can be pretty sensitive to perfumes, so I am also very picky about them. I'll keep you updated if any of these end up being my new signature scent!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
For the second installment of this hair and beauty series, here we have Shauna - my beautiful client from a few days ago wanting to do something new and fun with her hair. She was tired of her boring colour and style, so she came to me to give her a trendy ombré colour and cute bangs to go with it!<br />

As you can see, she has some discoloration and splotchy-ness in terms of her hair colour, a lot of different brown variations and her ends were pretty ashy. Luckily her hair wasn't dyed previously with a darker colour or it would have been a much tougher job than it was. In terms of her style and cut, she has thinner hair and it was quite long with really dry ends. I knew I would have to give her a good cut and put a style back into it in a way where it would suit the bangs she wanted.<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
First task needed was to lighten the ends, so I started with sectioning her hair and started from the nape of her neck up toward the crown. I then took two inch portions from the larger sections and applied the lightener to the last 2 inches of her hair and wrapped it in foil. I continued this until I was done the larger section. I repeated portioning out sections and lightening the ends with every larger section until I reached the crown and all of her hair had foil tips on the ends. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I finished, I went back to the bottom section at her nape, opened up the foils and brushed the lighter upward another inch and a half using a painting motion to blend the lightener into the hair. This is avoid a harsh exaggerated horizontal line across the hair. I re-wrapped the entire lightened tip back into the foils and I continued to do this for all the foils until I finished the bottom section. I continued upward, section by section, repeating to brush the lightener up and re-wrapping the foils higher and closer to her scalp than the first time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I finished applying the lightener to the ends of her hair, I wanted to enrich her base colour so I applied a level 5 chocolate brown colour to her roots, in sections, and then applied it all the way down the hair shaft until it reached the foiled tip. I really wanted to make sure that I had gotten rid of the ashy parts of her hair and make her a warmer, cozier colour base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After she was done processing, about half an hour, I washed out her hair, rinsing the base colour first before taking the foils out. This makes sure there's no colour 'bleeding'. After the first shampoo, I applied a toner to her lightened ends to take out any brassy colour and to even it all out, that only took about 5-7 minutes to process. Shampoo, conditioner and now she's ready for a cut.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wanted to bring her up a couple inches to make her thinner hair appear and feel thicker, and because she has naturally curly hair I knew she needed layers - to avoid that lampshade silhouette that curly hair can have. I gave her long layers and cut off about 2 inches initially in a 'V' shape before putting in layers. She wanted what I call 'Doll Bangs', so I gave her some bangs to frame her face and I think it made her look so youthful and fun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After cutting was done, I gave her a nice blow dry and styled her hair in big curls/waves to really show off the ombré. And voila! She was one happy customer and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome! I think the combination of a young, trendy colour style with her bangs makes her look at least 5 years younger. The miracles of hair and beauty, right?<br />

I'm curious to know, so tell me in the comments box below! I was thinking of doing a tutorial on how to do ombré on others and yourself, if that's something you would like to see leave me a comment or email me at makeupmasochist@gmail.com to let me know!<br />

Last day of September... Wow, Fall just got here and I feel like we are already half way through!!<br />
<br />

I wanted to create a look for you guys using some of my favourite items from MAC's Indulge Limited edition Collection (to see what I got from this collection and swatches, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/08/mac-indulge-collection-haul-swatches.html">click here</a>), which would double as a great Fall look. What better way to welcome Fall than with this collection?<br />
<br />
I loved the super luxe colours and feeling of this collection and I gathered inspiration from their marketing images. I love the mix of jewel tones with the gold and the head wraps - gave everything an expensive gypsy feel.<br />

Now, I must point out that I am NOT trying to re-create one of he MAC 'Indulge' looks - I am simply making a look inspired by the collection and images. This is my interpretation and technique, might not necessarily be right, but it's how I create my art. Here's the breakdown by feature.<br />

<br />
For my face:<br />
As always, I start off with a clean, moisturized face. Makeup always looks best on a clean canvas. I primed my face with my Benefit Cosmetics 'Porefessional' face primer and primed my eyes with my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Once my face was primed and prepped, I applied my Dior 'Airflash' Spray Foundation and blended that out with a damp Beauty Blender. When I had the coverage I wanted, I set my foundation with my MAC 'Flatter me' Pearlmatte Face Powder (Archie's Girls LE Collection). I contoured my face with my MAC 'Nude on Board' Bronzer (Temperature Rising LE Collection) and got ready for brows.<br />

For my brows:<br />
I always use a matte brown eyeshadow that I have had forever, a really good dupe for it is MAC 'Espresso' eyeshadow. I lined and filled my brows with the matte eyeshadow and a small hard-angled brush with a spool on the other end. I use the spool once I'm done filling to blend and make the brows look more natural. Once I have my shape that I want, I corrected any mishaps with my Benefit 'Boi-Ing' concealer in medium with a small concealer brush. I then highlighted my brows using MAC 'Orb' eyeshadow and an angled shader brush.<br />

For my eyes:<br />
I started with applying 'Naked' by Urban Decay on my crease and above my crease with a tapered blending brush. For the colour, I started with my inner and outer V, which I used a pencil brush to apply Urban Decay's 'Creep'. I also applied this on the outer corner under my lash line. Again, using a pencil brush, I applied MAC 'Palace Pedigree' (Indulge LE Collection) in the crease and outer lid, and blended that with a fluffy blending brush (224), and also under the lashline in the center. As my transition blending colour, I used MAC 'Haux' eyeshadow and blended that above the crease with my blending brush. I also applied some of this colour under the black and purple, under the bottom lash line. For the colour on my lid, I used MAC 'Vex' because I really like the pink pearl it has and I think it goes well with the purple shade. For the inner corner, I went back to my Urban Decay Naked 1 palette and applied 'Half Baked' eyeshadow with a shader brush. As finishing touches - concealer pencil in the waterline, Clinique High Impact Mascara (2 coats) and Ardell's 'Demi Whispies' lashes.<br />

For my cheeks:<br />
I like to apply my concealer after I'm done my eye makeup, to clean up any messes before highlighting. I applied my Benefit 'Boi-Ing' concealer in medium, to my undereye circles, blemishes and anywhere else it was needed. Blush is next. I used my MAC 'Prim & Proper' Blush (Liberty of London LE Collection) with my Duo Fibre blush brush, and topped that off with my MAC 'Adored' Mineralize Skinfinsh highlighter.<br />

For my lips:<br />
I kept it nice and simple, just some primer - I used MAC Prep+Prime Lip, and then my MAC 'Feed the Senses' Lustre lipstick (Indulge LE Collection). That's it! I love this nude shade for fall, it's becoming an absolute favourite!<br />
<br />
<br />
And there you have it! My Indulge look! Are we loving? I'm LOVING! These pictures don't do the makeup justice!<br />

September was a great month for Julep Mavens, there were plenty of great fall shades to choose from and the beauty products looked great. Making it very hard for an indecisive girl to choose which box I wanted, almost opting to not look and have this month be a complete surprise. That seemed a little extreme, so I bit my lip and chose the "Classic with a Twist" box and didn't look back!<br />
<br />
Honestly, I don't think I could have made a better choice now that I have my items, all my doubts are now rest assured, it was tough to choose with so many lovely colours. I got two great fall limited edition nail colours with a full sized beauty product - the 'Bare Face Cleansing Oil'. Here are the products in more detail:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Padma Nail Colour - on the website, this colour is described as a "Royal Plum Cream", however there is a subtle purple shimmer so I don't know if I would count it completely as a cream. It goes on as a deep eggplant purple, and is mostly opaque with one coat - two coats might be needed for more even colour. It's very dark and vampy, perfect for fall! It's an almost black-purple, when you quickly glance it could be mistaken for black.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Florence Nail Colour - on the website, this colour is described as a "Classic Camel Cream", and is true to its description - this is the perfect neutral nude. It goes on a bit streaky with he first coat, two coats are definitely necessary to get an even colour across the nail bed. I love this nude, it's not too warm, it's not too cool or grey - just right! Fun to pair with fall colours!<br />

<br />
Bare Face Cleansing Oil (with Power Cell Complex) - this cleanser is described on the website as a "lightweight, antioxidant-rich cleanser that gently and thoroughly dissolves makeup, dirt and excess oil without over-drying skin, then rinses clean with no oily residue. Recommended for all skin types." I'm excited to see how this will measure up to MAC's 'Cleanse Off Oil', and I will be doing a future review post on this product to see how, and if, it holds its own. The only negative thing that I have to point out... From my first initial impression, right off the bat - the colour of the product is a little off. It's urine yellow and a little unpleasant to look at. But that's just me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
I do have to point out that the Nail Colours came in some new and different packaging than it usually does, a little more environmentally friendly which is much appreciated. And it looks super fresh and cute!<br />

<br />
I decided to do a regular manicure this time with a transitional nail (of course!) with the two colours I've received. Here's how I gave myself a cute and sexy fall manicure with my new Nail Colours from my Maven box!<br />
<br />
First, as always, I make sure to prep my nails by scrubbing and washing my hands and nails. Then I apply some Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) around my nail beds to ensure I stay in the lines and makes clean up easy later.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I apply the first coat...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And the second...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3vwkvRM-a_uPV_mz-QLQq5ObXfX7wIqE5PMtb9FsrUVpQQmuSvqyMGrCEghCP63bMjD4lggEImBGYuL2vWmoEq4wKLNKg-JKluVD1R2w0sLLF8HWz2Sp7RvlesRFLvTpopLv4e4i4V1w/s1600/A781B0FC-B524-44D0-9147-0A027C4B7499.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3vwkvRM-a_uPV_mz-QLQq5ObXfX7wIqE5PMtb9FsrUVpQQmuSvqyMGrCEghCP63bMjD4lggEImBGYuL2vWmoEq4wKLNKg-JKluVD1R2w0sLLF8HWz2Sp7RvlesRFLvTpopLv4e4i4V1w/s400/A781B0FC-B524-44D0-9147-0A027C4B7499.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Making sure to let each coat completely dry before applying the next, will help even out the colour and prevent streaking. Once both coats were complexly dry, I apply the final coat of top coat to seal it all in and give it a nice shine. I had recently broken my OPI Top Coat and replaced it win this cute little bottle from my local beauty supply. It's a deal at $.95!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once the top coat was applied, I made sure to give myself sufficient time to let it all dry completely before doing or starting any tasks. I like to "smudge-proof" my manicures this way!<br />
<br />
And voila!<br />

I absolutely had to do a review on this eyeliner pen because I am a big fan and advocate of this type of eyeliner. I was (too) excited when I got my September Ipsy Glam Bag, (to see the full product list of what I got, <a href="http://makeupmasochist.blogspot.ca/2013/09/i-heart-ipsy-my-september-glam-bag.html" target="_blank">click here</a>) I was hoping at I would get this product in my Glam Bag when I saw that it was a possibility and my wish came true. Now I get to play with this baby and review it for all you dolls out there, hope you find this helpful!<br />

As per 'Jesse's Girl Cosmetics' website; the "unique Japanese calligraphy-style brush allows for precise, super-fine application that let's you create lines as small as one millimetre thickness! Combined with a formula that dries super-quick (for a waterproof, smudge-proof application), our liquid eyeliner glides on smoothly without pulling or tugging."<br />
<br />
Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner Pen is sold online on their website and other retailers and affiliates (I will list the websites at the bottom of this post), for a steal of a price - $6.99 for 5ml/.017oz of product and it's only available in black. Too bad, I would definitely be interested in different colours for this product! Hoping they come out with more colours in the near future. This is also a waterproof eyeliner, which is just amazing!<br />
<br />

<br />
I have never had or tried a product from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics before, but I have heard of the brand before and their amazing 'Glow Stix' lip glosses that glow in the dark, well, like glow sticks. I've seen them on some Makeup Artists' social media and everyone couldn't say more good things about them, so I was really excited to try out this eyeliner by this brand!<br />
<br />
<br />
First initial impression was great, I love the packaging - sexy and sleek, and there's a little bit of weight when you hold the product. I think this is because of her pretty metal packaging and I really appreciate it, I find I have more control because of the weight of the product. The application tip is really impressive, long and pointed and the brush is clean and sharp. Perfect for making precise, sharp lines and angles. I did a quick test on my hand when I initially got it and it glided on my hand nice and smooth and I had to remove it with makeup remover as soap and water didn't rinse it off.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I finally got my hands on some time to play and really see what this eyeliner can really do, I tried a few different designs to really see the variation on thickness (or thinness) and to see if there are any limitations on what eyeliner designs can be achieved by using his eyeliner. Here's a photo of my eye without make up:<br />

Using this eyeliner is truly a pleasure, glides on smoothly and opaque with one swipe along the lashline and is a true black colour. The applicator brush tip is super easy to use, the longer brush gives some more control but also doesn't limit you to what you can do with this eyeliner. Setting time is super quick, only a few seconds so smudging is almost impossible and the fact that it's waterproof makes it a great go to option for everyday and everywhere wear.<br />

What I do really love about this product is that it's super quick and easy to use. If you're running late or don't have much time in general for makeup, this product should be part of your 5 minute routine. It's perfect to keep in your purse to turn 'office makeup' into 'happy hour makeup' and it's the best way to add drama and polish off any eye look.<br />
<br />
Product Grade: A+<br />
<br />
Although this is my personal opinion of this product, I really think its a great product and will surely<br />
be the star of any makeup look or collection. I love pen-type eyeliners and have tried many different types from different brands(MAC, Sephora, Stila, Kat Von D, Hello Kitty) and I didn't think it could get better than MAC's Penultimate Eyeliner pen. Until now. I. Love. This. Eyeliner. I know I will be reaching for this eyeliner everyday for all my makeup looks and to do makeup art with. It's a favourite in my collection and I will be repurchasing this eyeliner in the future, for as long as I possibly can!<br />

Something that always gets me through the day, week, month - are my lovable and loyal companions. These girls stick with me through thick and thin and I am so grateful to have them to cheer me up and remind me that life is beautiful!<br />

We like to take full advantage of summer and the good weather, especially when its not too hot out. Evenings are our favourite time to take the girls out for walks and to the parks because when its too hot out, they wont have a good time. We are lucky enough to have a wide range of awesome places that we can take them to in the city, but our most favourite places are around the corner from home.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the girls doing their Puggie thang this summer in the city!<br />

Well if those faces didn't make you smile - I don't know what kind of small-black-hearted person you are! There are some truely special and cherished memories that I will hold on to forever. These angels that God lets us borrow are only with us for a small percentage of our entire lives, but leave the biggest mark on our hearts that lasts for eternity. I love my little fur-babies as much as my heart can hold, and they bring such joy to my life. I love spending time doing things I know they love and making special moments together!<br />
