Wear- What's in your makeup bag?

I'm a beauty minimalist. I love a few really good products. However on the other side I love shopping at Sephora. I get all giddy over the outrageous eye shadow colours and those big compacts they have out right now for Christmas with 56 lip glosses and 97 eye shadows and 34 blushes, you know the ones. Not like I would ever buy one but I sure do like looking at them!

Got me thinking about the products I do use and wondering if you're like me?

My favourites:

1. Viva Glam Cyndi Lauper lipstick.

2. Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for my eyeshadow

3. Givenchy Matissime powder foundation

4. Clinique Acne solutions three step

5. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream

6. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer

7. Benefit Bad gal brown mascara

Or maybe you're more like my Aunt Ann? She's all about hair, everytime I'm at her house I use all her awesome shampoos, conditioners, styling products and sprays! 

 Aunt Ann's top seven:

1. Mary Kay lipstick in Apple Berry

2. Joico pink mist hairspray

3. Biosilk Thermal seal

4. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume

5. Olay total effects face moisturizer

6. Maybeline great lash mascara

7. Smashbox Healthy FX foundation

My Mom is serious about her skin routine. I always hear people commenting on how clear and soft her skin looks. I say it's genectics but she swears by Dr. Renaud products. A little pricey but worth every last penny according to Mom.

Mom's Beauty picks:

1. Cover Girl professional mascara

2. Sephora shimmer gloss in Cranberry

3. "Wedge" shadow by Mac for brows and crease

4. Daily cleanser and moisturizer by Dr. Renaud

5. "Sparkling Cider" blush by Mary Kay

6. Mineral foundation by Bare Minerals

7. Favourite tool is Mac angle brow brush # 208.

Now it's your turn, what can you not live with out? Have you figured out how to use that crazy fushia eye shadow by Urban Decay yet? Or are you a dove soap kinda girl?

Do- Make yourself a pumpkin mask

So you got a lot of pumpkin around the house and you're kinda broke? Sound familar? Well you could make a pumpkin face mask if you like? Let's let Erica and Allison show us how.

What's makes pumpkins awesome is that they are packed with vitamin A! Which works like a charm in smothing out your skin and kicking those wrinkles to the curb, stupid wrinkles.

You will need:

2 tsp pureed pumpkin

1/2 tsp honey

1/4 tsp heavy whipping cream

Then mix it all up and apply with a fancy fan brush if you have one to make it even more spa-like. You could even heat it a little in the microwave so it's not too cold going on your skin.

After 10 mins rinse and admire your gorgeous glowing pumpkin skin!


Just another reason to love Autumn! Are you going to try this? Or does the thought of pumpkin on your face freak you out? Well then maybe you could make this Pumpkin-Smores cake from Desserts for Breakfast instead? oooooor do the mask while eating the cake?!

I know I'm bad. ;)
