MY STYLE: VALENTINE’S KISSES

Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovely Peaches! Today’s post comes to you from my very warm and cozy living room. As much as I wanted to frolic in the snow and snap some shots in a wintery wonderland, it is bitter cold this weekend and my couch, a blanket, and a hot cup of tea have been calling my name. So I’ve changed things up from my usual outdoor shoots and have put together a comfy, around-the-apartment, weekend look that’s sure to please on this day of love.

I wanted to have some fun with this look, and the red lip motif on this shirt was the perfect place to start! From there, I added a bold, red beaded necklace and a flirty rose ring, and finished off the look with some playful pink and red lip socks. Even my manicure got some love with a simple red crystal heart accent on my ring finger (if there’s an excuse to add something red and glittery to my look, I’m all over it!).

Whatever your plans may be this Valentine’s Day, have fun with your look…and enjoy a chocolate or two for me!

theBalm Cosmetics Mr. Write (Now) Eyeliner Pencil
I was thrilled to see another item by theBalm Cosmetics in my bag. A few months ago, I received one of their matte lip colours, and they quickly became one of my favourite cosmetic companies. This time around, I received their eyeliner pencil in Jac – a shimmering copper liner. It goes on smoothly and lasts all night, making it another slam dunk from theBalm!

City Color Eyeshadow Trio
This trio is the perfect combination of colours for an effortless, neutral day look. The shadow lasted all day, and had just the perfect hint of shimmer. And I loved that this colour trio was exclusively offered to Ipsy bag subscribers.

Beau Gachis Paris Smudge Brush
Makeup brushes are always a welcome addition to my collection! This handcrafted beauty is super soft and blends my eye shadow with ease.

Skyn Glacier Cleansing Cloths
After rocking your favourite makeup all day, don’t forget to cleanse your skin so it stays fresh and has time to breathe! These cleansing cloths not only smell great and do an amazing job at removing your makeup, but they don’t require any water so they’re easy and fast to use. My skin feels smooth and refreshed after using these babies!

Mitchell And Peach Body Cream
I’ll be honest – when I saw another body cream in my bag, I was a little bit disappointed. I have received so many creams from ipsy that I simply cannot use them fast enough. But then I tried this softly scented version, and rejoiced! Finally, a body cream that didn’t leave a greasy residue on my skin (nothing makes me squirm more that greasy creams). Absolutely loving this one!

Jesse’s Girl Nail Polish in Pin-Up Girl
This is the second Jessie’s Girl product that I’ve received in my Ipsy bags (the last was an eye shadow primer that you can see here). I was a big fan of the primer, so I was excited to see their name on another on of my goodies. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite polishes – it’s super shiny, and this shade of pink will look good on anyone! I’ve had it on for about a week now, with very minimal chips (score!),

Pacifica Power Of Love Lipstick in Nudie Red
Not only does this lipstick slide over your lips like a dream, this little tube packs a powerful message. With the idea that lipstick can change the world, for every lipstick purchased, Pacifica will give one to a woman in need.

Peony Cosmetics Shadow Trio
I was hoping this month’s bag would yield something sparkly for the holidays, and this shadow trio definitely delivered! The bronze shade adds the perfect touch of glimmer, and the kaolin clay helps absorb excess oils, so your party look will last all night long…dancing and all.

Lather Honey Moisture Mask
Truth be told, I have yet to use this mask. After indulging in treats over the holidays, my skin has been breaking out. When that happens, I go for something with astringent properties. But I’m excited to have this mask in my arsenal for when the cold winter weather starts to dry out my skin. I’m sure it will work wonders! Have you tried this mask yet? Let me know if you liked it!

Klorane Floral Water Makeup Remover
I can always use more eye makeup remover – it’s one of the products I use in my daily cleansing routine, so I go through it very quickly. I swapped this product for my regular version, and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t greasy and it removed my mascara with ease. I’ll be using this one until it’s all gone!
