Hello people!
So as most of you know I live in Canada and sometimes I can't help but feel like the we're the underdogs in the beauty industry. Our makeup is ridiculously mroe expensive here and we don't have as many brands as the US does and there aren't as many beauty events that happen outside of Toronto. It kinda sucks but I came across the CBB (Canadian Beauty Bloggers Network) and I realized how many Canadian beauty bloggers there were out there and they had built such a cool happy place to talk and share advice and sales and tips! Its been so nice talking with all of the lovely people on it and I've gotten some great tips already! One of the beauty bloggers on the network made this tag called the CBB tag! So here it is :)
1. What was the first makeup item you ever purchased?
1. What was the first makeup item you ever purchased?
Probably my lip smacker lip balms! Love those little things, they bring back good memories!
2. What colour/type of lipstick is taking over your collection?
Right now anything matte is taking over my collection but I would have to say I'm really into the fig/purple/mauve/brown type shades and they have taken over my collection!

3. What is the best drug store brand item you have ever purchased?
I love Maybelline in general and their matte lipsticks are probably my favourite purchase yet! Aside from that my fave drugstore item in general is the the Rimmel eyeliner in nude! Great liner for the waterline!

4. Name one high end item that is at the top of your wishlist and why.
Right now I really want the Kat Von D monarch palette. Thats about as high end as I get :)

5. Which beauty item do you have a hard time saying "no" to?
Lip products always get me, I have the most of them in my collection and I can never say no!

6. Show us a picture of an item from your stash that has the best packaging.
This is so hard for me but I'm choosing this foundation because the packaging is functional and phenominal. It's rose gold, it has a pump and every time you pump out foundation theres this platform thing that pushes the foundation up so there is no product wasted. It litterally cleans the bottle completely! This is my second bottle and I love the foundation to death but if you look at the bottom of the glass part, you can kinda see what I mean with the platform. Theres a little space where you can tell I've already used some of the foundation.

7. Which beauty technique would you like to master?
I would have to say cut crease eye shadow looks. I feel like its hard with my eye shape for some reason.

8. What does your beauty storage station look like?
It's coming along, I dont really like it so much right now and once I've changed what I want to change about it, I will do a post on it!

9. What is the best part of being a CBB?

10. Which brand do you wish was available in Canada, but isn't?
There are so many I wish were sold here but I would have to say Lorac.

11. Explain your one beauty discovery that totally changed the makeup game for you.
Contouring and highlighting really changed my makeup game. I feel like I can do it in five minutes now and that my makeup is incomplete if I dont highlight and contour my face! Doing it has really changed my makeup game!

12. Pick one palette from your collection - Show us a picture and tell us why you love it!
Aside from my makeup geek shadows, my favourite palette EVER is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette! I love this baby so much!! It is very pigmented and its a great neutral palette with some pops of colour. You can get so many looks with this palette on its own and the best part is that it smells like chocolate!

13. Name some of your favourite youtube beauty gurus.
I watch sooo many youtube beauty gurus and I usually like subscribing to anyone with the same skin type as me, the same foundation shade or the same eye shape. I love Jaclyn Hill, Nicole Guerriero, Dani from Coffeebreakwithdani, Kathleenlights, NikkiTutorials and Makeup Geek. These people are all my favourite! I also love Teno Penosian, Casey Holmes and Lustrelux!

This question is so hard!! I honestly don't know what to say. I guess maybe my Makeup Geek eye shadows. Those shadows are holy grail status for sure!

ReplyDeleteIt's really cool that you did this tag, it's lovely to see what products you chooses for each question. I'm also listed in CBB and I should really be more active in it.

ReplyDeleteGreat tag, fun to read. To be honest I haven't come across that many canadian bloggers. I love that EX1 foundation, great packaging and product. I feel like here in England we also don't have a variety of products, it so sad. haha!
ReplyDeletexoMadiha
Thanks so much! And yayy, im so glad you've tried the EX1 foundation! Its basically unheard of here! It really sucks that we dont have all the brands of makeup like the US. I guess thank god for online shopping!! Thanks for your comment!
