VanDusen Botanical Garden

Hello Lovelies!
So I recently went to the VanDusen Botanical Garden here in British Columbia, Canada. It was still cold at the time, so not all of the flowers had bloomed yet. But it was still beautiful! I have taken some pictures that I would like to share with you! They are not the best pictures, but I really like them.
 So Enjoy! ♥

























I hope you enjoyed these pictures! 
I am reviewing 3 products in the future, so look out for that! 
Thank you ♥

(And please ask me if you ever want to use these photos. I wouldn't want anyone stealing them for credit.)

Highstreet/Drugstore Make-up Haul & Review


Hello Lovelies! 
Just a few days ago I went to the drugstore in search of a few items, and I found quite a bit! Now, some of these things were on sale, which helped a lot. I hope you enjoy. ♥




 Fix&Perfect: $12
Quo Eyelash Curler: $6

First off, I have a foundation primer in 002, from Rimmel London. It claims to do many things for your skin such as, smoothes, resurfaces, brightens, mattifies and protects. After a few days of use, i can say that it does do all of that! I has especially helped my dry skin become more smooth. It is way easier to apply foundation without flakiness! 
I also bought a Quo eyelash curler. Its not the best, but I definitely needed a new one! It does work well though. 





Gel Eyeliner: $4
Eyeliner Brush: $2  

Yes, I know they sound cheap, but they actually work very well! The brush is perfect for thin lines. It is a brush by Essence, as well as the eyeliner. This particular eyeliner is waterproof in the shade 01 Midnight in Paris. It truly does stay on all day, it is a bit difficult to take off. Which is good! I wouldn't want it smudging off throughout the day!


Clinique Liquid Liner: --
Essence Eyeliner: $2



In the first photo, I have the Clinique liquid eyeliner. Now I apologize because I have not tried this product yet! Tell me in the comments if you have tried it :)
In the second photo, I have an eyeliner pencil in 04 White by Essence. I have used this everyday, since I bought it, and it stays on for quite a long time! I use it on my lower waterline to help my eyes look bigger and more awake. It helps a lot, especially for those tired mornings before school!



Rimmel London Eye shadow: $6

I normally go for a natural looking eye shadow when doing my make up. This set of eye shadows is in 019 Sun Safari. They are quite shimmery, but does not make you look to sparkly. They are gorgeous colours and I absolutely love them so far! 



Essence Lip Gloss: $3
Rimmel London Lip Balm: $6

If you read my last blog post, you'll know that I love wearing soft pink and red coloured lipsticks. So since it's Spring time, I thought I'd try something a bit brighter! ♥
From Rimmel London, I purchased a Long Lasting Intense Colour Balm in 610 Sun-Kissed. I just thought this was a gorgeous colour! I'm stepping a little out of my comfort zone with this colour, since I don't wear bright colours like this. But when I put it on it didn't look too bright, it was perfect! It was definitely worth it!
I also purchased a clear lip gloss from Essence. I wanted a non-tinted one because I wanted to be able to apply it over anything. I just love the look of glossy lips in Spring!
