Working with Walter Gretzky

Last week I had the opportunity to work on Walter Gretzky for a commercial pilot. Walter Gretzky is the father of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. Walter was a dream client with his easygoing personality, vast knowledge, and amazing sense of humor. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him.


Nude Detox Review

While shopping at my local Sephora, I came across some facial cleansers. I asked  a beauty adviser about which one she would recommend and she directed me to Nude Detox. The way she was talking about this product made it seem as if it was the best thing out there, so she sold me in to purchasing it. Mind you, this product comes up to almost $50.00 CDN, and I am VERY thankful that I am able to return it. I have only tried it once before bed and it felt alright on my skin while washing my face, but when I woke up the next morning I had a nasty rash on my face. I am not one for writing nasty reviews about products but I felt the need to warn other people about it. I do NOT recommend this product what so ever. My skin is not too sensitive but Nude Detox gave me a terrible skin reaction that took a few days to settle down.

I'm terrible at blogging!

Okay okay don't kill me I know it has been quite some time since my last post, but I've been busy! and I also hate blogging. Alright so HATE is a really strong word, let us just blame my laziness which is the number one culprit in this whole situation. It is often extremely difficult for me to form proper sentences to write on my blog. I am either very passionate about something, or completely aloof. There is no middle ground to my human which is a crappy situation because I do not get motivated to write about silly products or things that have been reviewed a bajillion times already all over the world wide web.

I just need a little kick in the butt every now and then. I promise I will make more of an effort. Perhaps even get arse in to gear and start making videos also. So much to do So much to do!

Thanks for sticking around lovelies. <3

Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette

I have had the Kat Von D Contour Palette for over two weeks now and I believe enough time has passed that it is suitable for me to write an honest review about this product. While looking for a contour palette with cream bronzers and highlighters, I  came across the Shade + Light Palette. The product itself is not cream but promises to be very blendable and silky at contact with the skin. The Palette comes with 6 different matte powders in three dark and 3 light.

 The dark shades are: Sombre, Shadowplay, and Subconscious.The light shades are: Lucid, Lyric, and Levitation. All darker shades shades are approximately 0.16 oz and the lighter powders are 0.08 oz.







I did not get the applicator brush that is supposed to be used with the powders but I get an illustrated  card tutorial, illustrated by Kat, that shows step by steps on how to:
  • Define cheekbones
  • Slim your face
  • Shape your nose






I must say I absolutely LOVE this palette. It does what its supposed to do. The powders are smooth on the skin and do not make me look cakey or dry, and they blend very well. The only thing that I did not like about the palette is that the powder is so light that at the stroke of a brush, it flies everywhere and to me that's a waste of product. The price for this is around $55.00 Canadian, which is an amazing price for all the shades you get.
