NYX Glam Shadow Review: Aurora & Over The Top

Hello Beauties,

How are you all today? I hope your enjoying your day and every moment of your life. Fall is on its way and I am really excited because fall is my favorite time of the year! Today I will be reviewing two NYX Glam eyeshadows that I picked up last month.

First of all these are really cute tiny little things. I love how compact they are, and fit into your makeup bag very easily. And very easy to travel with, and great for touchups. I found these at Ulta and instantly fell in love with them because of the shimmer. They are perfect if you are doing a heavy smokey look. Lets get into the shades!

Aurora: The most beautiful dark golden brown eyeshadow I have used in my life. It is fine golden and red glitter. It goes on perfect on your eyelids. I create my glitter glam smokey eyes with this shadow. 

Over The Top: Is a beautiful gold shade with lots of glitter in it. I use this with Aurora and it makes the most beautiful shimmer and glam look. 

 

Over all I really love these Galm eye shadows! They are also great for travel, and the pigmentation is just amazing. The one bad thing about these is that, they have a lot of fall out. But I just take a makeup remover wipe and remove the eye shadows off my face. Let me know in the comments below if you have any of the Glam shadows from NYX. I hope you all enjoyed this post. Talk to you soon! Have an amazing weekend! :)

Niagara Falls Canada 2013

Hello Beauties, 

How are you all today? Hope you all are doing wonderful and enjoying the last few days of summer! Today I have a really different post for you all. I am gong to be sharing with you some pictures I took on my recent trip to Niagara Falls Canada. This is my first time visiting, and I loved each and every moment of this trip. 

Niagara Falls has always been on my list, and this weekend I was there. The Falls are just beautiful, I love the crystal clear water. We took the Maid of the Mist boat tour too, which was just breath taking. The weather was nice, and we got to do a lot of walking near the falls. 

Towards the end of the day, we went on to the American side of the falls to watch the amazing fire work. Here are some pictures:

If you ever have a chance to visit the Falls don't miss it. Also I forgot to mention that when we were on the Maid of the Mist Boat Tour, I saw two rainbows in the water. It was just an amazing experience which leaves your speechless. Let me know in the comments below if you have ever visited Niagara Falls. I hope you enjoyed this quick trip post! 
                        Have a great day!

Skincare September: 5 ways to keep your skin healthy and fresh!

Hello Beauties, 

How are you all today? First of all Happy September! I just can't believe this, August is over and also the year is almost over. This year is going way too fast! But I just can't wait for fall. 

As you all know that I love makeup products, and my blog mostly consists of reviews of makeup. For this month I wanted to do something new and different. So with that said, I am introducing to you SKINCARE SEPTEMBER! In this month I will be posting twice a week. One post will be related to skincare and the other post will be a makeup/beauty/tag post. 

I am really excited for this. I struggle a lot with finding the right skin care products. So this month I will be discovering new products and also showing you the products I already use. My skin care routine is very simple, and soon I will share with you what it is! 

So lets begin with Post 1 of Skincare September. In today's post I will be sharing with you five ways/things I do to keep my skin fresh and healthy. 

1. Moisturize: I have really dry skin. I always keep my skin moisturized. Either it is my face or my body, I always have to have lotion on. Usually I use my Clinque Dramatically Different moisturizer for my face. These days it has not been working on my skin really well, so I am on a hunt for a new one. For my body I use body butters from Bath and Body Works. They smell great and really moisturize you knees, elbows, and everywhere else on the body. 

2. Drink Lots of Water: This one is hard for me. But I still try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Water is just not only great for your skin, but it is great for you health. If you drink the required amount of water everyday, it will leave your skin very glowy and fresh. If you don't like plain water, just add a little flavoring to it! 

3. Remove all makeup before bed: I know this is a hard one for some of you, and trust me for me it is the hardest thing to do! After a long day, I really don't want to stand there and remove my makeup before bed. But what I usually do is, after I brush my teeth, I start removing my makeup right away. Removing your makeup makes your skin breathe all night long. Your skin also needs rest, like you do, after a long day. Makeup can be really bad for your gentle skin, so make sure you remove it carefully and thoroughly. 

4. Scrub: I love scrubbing! It just feels great, I usually do it while in the shower. It removes all your dead skin cells, and makes your skin smooth. Scrubbing two to three times a week, is great for you skins health.  

5. Mask: My favorite thing for my skin is masks. I love all sorts of masks. These days I have been using my Lush Fresh Masks. I love that they are natural, and make my skin feel really glow and fresh. I use the masks about twice a week. I love pampering my self, and my skin.
