FOTD & OOTD | Yeah you've crossed the line, I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')

Hi ladies! I recently attended a party and of course, I did not get to take proper pictures even though, for once, I was free all day and I took plenty of time to pamper myself... oh well, I was browsing through the pictures in my camera yesterday and I realized I did have a few pictures, although they might not be the best ones, but I figured out I had not posted a FOTD or OOTD in some times so I thought, why not?

Benefit The POREfessional | Marcelle BB Cream 'Light to Medium' | Clarins Poudre Multi-Eclat Mineral Loose Powder '01 Light'| theBalm Time Balm Concealer 'Light' | PUPA 4SUN Bronzing Powder SPF 15 | Annabelle Blossom Blush 'Peachy'

I was delighted when PUPA 4SUN Bronzing Powder landed on my doorsteps since I am a huge lover of bronzers, especially when they are as big as this one! This bronzer includes four shades to suit every skintone, but I prefer to simply swirl my brush on all of them at once and dust lightly in a '3' shape on my face (temples, cheekbones and jawline). Full review to come!

Dior Diorshow Extase Mascara 'Black' | Marcelle Velvety Eye Shadow + Primer 'Primer Rose' | theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow Palette ('Matt Gallangher' and 'Matt McDonald') | MAC Eye Pencil - Ebony* | Wet n Wild Color Icon Liner Brow & Eye Pencil - Taupe | Revlon ColorBurts Lip Butter 'Cupcake'

Reviews of theBalm Mett Matt(e) Eyeshadow Palette kept popping on my blog reading list recently and they made me want to dig mine out of my stash and use it more. Since I kept the rest of my face neutral, I decided  would do a dark green smokey eye, and 'Matt McDonald' turned out to be perfect for this since it is the darkest green in my collection - it is almost black! Let me know if you are not sick of reviews of this palette, and I will add mine to the bunch.

leopard print tank - Ross | cardigan - San Francisco | Sqin jeans - H&M | oversize glasses shape metal ring and multi-spike charm layered necklace - ROMWE | nail polish - Barry M Nail Paint 'Peach Melba'

I really did not have a specific outfit in mind but I knew I wanted to show off my leopard print tank, so I decided to keep the rest of my outfit pretty basic - I wore my favorite distressed jeans and a comfy cardi. I originally planned to wear my spike necklace from ROMWE but I decided it was too much with the animal prints, so I slipped on my current favorite ring and I was good to go!

Tag | I ♥ Fall

source

I have been tagged by the lovely Angela at The Beauty Belle to do this super cute and fun fall tag! Now I have never been a fan of the colder weather because well, it's cold! I prefer summer, the sun, the beach... but yes, fall is beautiful, and I do love to wear cozy clothes and relax wrapped in a hot blanket with a cup of tea, not to mention that the good thing is that there is no snow - yet!

1. Favourite Fall Lip Product?

If you have been reading my blog for some times, you should know by now that I don't abide by any rules when it comes to makeup and the seasons - I wear what I like, when I like it, and even if it's Fall, I'm not particularly keen on dark and vampy lipsticks. Would I be boring if I said that my favorite fall lip product is lip balm? I can't get enough of NUXE Rêve de Miel and Carmex!

2. Favourite Fall Nail Polish?

As stated previously, I am as likely to wear bright shades as much as dark ones, because hey, what is better than painting your toenails yellow to cheer you up on a dull, cold and snowy or rainy winter day?

3. Favourite Fall Drink?

The original question was 'Favourite Starbucks Fall Drink' but since I have stepped foot only once in a Starbucks - and I don't even remember what I ordered, but it was certainly none of their 'fancy' drinks - I am just going to answer with my favorite fall drink, which is probably hot chocolate with marshmallows... or tea with marshmallows... or coffee... pretty much everything with marshmallows ahah!

4. Favourite Fall Candle? 

Anything with peppermint or cinnamon and I also associate sweet fragrances with the colder months. I don't have a favorite candle but I do really enjoy Time & Again Crackling Wick Scented Candles in Sweet Peppermint which smells fresh yet not overly sweet, and it makes that comforting sound that if you close your eyes, you can easily imagine yourself sitting next to a fire - how genius is that?

5. Favourite Fall Scarf or Accessory? 

This cropped faux-leather jacket that I got for only $20 at Ross during my trip to Wildwood -  I have a thing for motorcycle jackets, and it's even better if it's cropped and if it has zippers! I bought it in Small and even though it does run small and it's not very stretchy, I will be sure to make the most out of it while it's not too cold outside - I especially like to wear it with an oversized scarf.

6. Haunted House, Haunted Hay Ride or Haunted Corn Maze? 

 I'm not exactly sure what is an 'haunted hay ride' and I don't think haunted corn mazes are that scary - at least, the ones I went to - but I'm way too easily scared to even enter an haunted house so I would say, neither of those!

7. Favourite Halloween Movie?

My favorite horror movie series has to be Saw - of course! - and horror movies are my favorite ones, especially the ones with ghosts or spirits because I am a firm believer in ghosts. I am not a big fan of those silly demons, zombies or supernatural creatures movies though. 

8. Favourite Candy to Eat on Halloween? 

I prefer chocolate over candy - Caramilk, Mars, Oreo - yum! - but I do enjoy my share of sour candies too!

9. What Are You Dressing Up As For Halloween? 

I am still hesitant between being a sexy sailor or a referee - which one would you recommend?

10. What Is Your Favourite Thing About Fall?

Definitely the cozy clothes, warm blankets, hot chocolate and bonfires!

Wildwood Shopping | Ross and Walmart

I enjoyed a much needed holiday in Wildwood, NJ, last week with my mother and my boyfriend and even though our hobby of choice is to relax on the beach and "play" in the ocean - my boyfriend and I almost drowned, but that's another story - we do like to wander around at night, especially in shops that we don't have here in Canada.

I did not really need something in particular when I stepped foot in Ross - which is the US equivalent of Winners, if I'm right? - but of course, some pieces of clothing catched my attention and at these prices, I simply could not pass them up! I did not go crazy though and I only left with two items, which go amazingly well together!

If you know me, you are surely well aware of my love for animal prints, so when I spotted this $5.99 leopard print tank, I did not even hesitate because, yes, it's a very basic tank, but still I don't have any with animal prints! Plus, it just goes so well with everything and it can easily dress up any outift.

Then, I fell in love with this $19.99 red faux-leather (of course!) cropped jacket - I have a thing for motorcycle jacket, and it's even better if it's cropped and if it has zippers. I bought it in Small and even though it does run small and it's not very stretchy, I love it and I can't wear for the weather to get a bit colder to wear it out!

Of course, we had to stop by Walmart! Honestly, the only reason why I really wanted to go there is because I remembered they sold Revlon ColorSilk hair color for less than $3, which is not even readily available in Canada for some stupid reasons, and having already tried this hair dye in Brown Black 20, I could not wait to try it in Burgundy, so I picked up the last two boxes. I also noticed that their packaging has changed and the formula seems to have been improved because it now features UV Defense. I even already used one box - you can see the results in the picture of me modelling my purchases - but of course, I will write a complete post about it.
