OOTD: A Visit To The Toronto Zoo

Hey Everyone,

Long time no talk on here! Today I had an exciting day with my family at The Toronto Zoo. The Toronto Zoo is approximately 710 acres and is the largest zoo in Canada. My favourite zoogeographic regions were the African Savanna; exhibiting animals such as the Cheetah, the Grevy's Zebra, the Masai Giraffe and the African Lion, and the Americas which included animals such as the Jaguar and the Polar Bear. 

Take a look at my outfit featuring my leopard print headscarf:

Ombre Denim

Even though summer is not officially here yet, it sure felt like it today in Toronto. I wore these high waisted Topshop dip-dye shorts that I'm really into at the moment. High waisted shorts have always been one of my favourite things to jump into in the summer and the ombre effect on these is definitely the icing on the cake :P I paired them with a white, sheer shirt from H&M and salmon Shoe Dazzle wedges  to add some colour.

CHANEL PERFECTION LUMIÈRE FOUNDATION

Hi Everyone!

This is my first time trying out any Chanel makeup product and I'm happy to say that my experience with the Perfection Lumiere Foundation turned out pretty great. Chanel calls this foundation their long-wear flawless fluid make up and their just right about that. This oil-free foundation comes in a diverse range of over 20 shades to choose from with shades for yellow, rosy and warmer complexions. The sale associate matched my skin with the colour 50 Beige and it looks just perfect, not too orange or pink. 

The Perfection Lumiere  is sort of a liquid to powder foundation but gives a semi - matte finish. I absolutely love that it isn't completely matte but at the same time it does not give a duey finish either. It gives a little glow from within which allows your skin to look healthy without being oily or dry.  

The coverage, I would say is light to medium and I find it a bit difficult to blend. However, if you have imperfections such as dark spots, like me, a dab of your favourite concealer will do the trick. I apply the foundation with my Elf powder brush instead of a standard foundation brush - which may leave lines/seams, and it feels as though i'm buffing away my imperfections. It is pretty light weight but long-lasting at the same time, it almost feels as though i'm not wearing any foundation at all. It gives an even tone and there is no need for powder to set.

A night out with Perfection Lumiere

Current Favourite Makeup Picks

Hey Everyone, hope you all are having a great day. I decided to share some of my favourite makeup products with you and I also added mini reviews and comments about each. I hope some of you find it helpful and keep in mind that these are just my personal opinions.

Mac Chatter Box (left) & Kinda Sexy (Right)

 Lately I've been liking the Mac amplified lipstick in Chatterbox (left) which  is a really pretty pink, kind of a darker barbie pink. The colour is vibrant on the lips and there is no need for a lip liner or gloss.

 My favourite Mac lipsticks are the matte ones and Kinda Sexy (right) was one of my picks that I would never regret buying. It is a kind of a pinky-nude colour that I think would be suitable for many skin tones. It is very long lasting as well. 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Eden

Having oily lids, primer is definitely a must before applying eyeshadow. The Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden allows your eyeshadow to stay on throughout a hectic day and gives a pop to vibrant eyeshadows without any creasing. 

Mac Rice Paper Eyeshadow

This is my most used eye shadow, great for everyday. It is a gorgeous golden colour thats works well as a base and is very easy to blend. It can also be used a subtle highlight on the brow bone or tear duct. 

Urban Decay Naked Palette 

This is definitely one of those products I have a love-hate relationship with. Although I don't use every single colour in the palette, there are some that I cannot live without. I usually reach for the matte shades and I mostly use Virgin, mainly as a highlight and Naked and Buck as transition colours. Sin, Sidecar and Toasted would be my shimmer picks. 

LOréal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black

If ever you see me wearing eyeliner, it will definitely be winged eyeliner and this is just perfect for that. It gives an intense, perfectly shaped line with a glossy finish that is sure to get you noticed. The felt tip allows for very easy application. This is surely my favourite liquid eyeliner.

LOréal Voluminous Smouldering Eyeliner in Black

I use this mainly for lining my waterline, tight line, and sometimes to create that dramatic cat eye effect. I find it really bold and creamy and so it applies very smoothly and I don't have to apply a lot.

LOréal Telescopic Mascara (Top)
Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara (Bottom)

The LOréal Telescopic Mascara lengthens your lashes like no other. Although my natural lashes are fairly long, I use this to add an extra kick. With a very slim brush, barely any product goes a very long way. For a bit of volume I like to use the Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara along with  the LOréal Telescopic Mascara. These two combined creates my desired look: length + volume.

Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer

 For just $5, I could not go wrong with this face primer. After hearing so much about it, I just had to try it out. After applying, it allows your foundation to glide on smoothly and makes it very long lasting. However, I would not recommend this to those of you who have oily skin. 

Mac Mineralized SkinFinish Natural Powder in Medium Dark (Left) 

Mac Pro LongWear SPF 10 Foundation in NW40 (Right)

The Mac Pro LongWear Foundation has become one of my holy grail makeup products, even though the colour I have is a bit too warm for me. It gives a great, medium coverage and is not heavy or cakey, although I don't think I'll be wearing it in the hot summer days. It is very long lasting if set with light or translucent powder. I chose to set this with the Mineralized Skin Finish powder and this gives a  flawless, matte finish. 

Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Power 

 I've learnt that this is a great dupe for the Nars orgasm/laguna duo which I find to be very overpriced. For just around $3, I decided to try it and I am very impressed with the colour payoff even though I have a very warm skin tone. 

Revlon Nail Enamel
Make Mine Mango 920 (Left)
Minted 85 (Center)
Bewitching 620 (Right)

I've been reaching for these three colours over the past month or so after discovering Revlon nail polishes. For a drugstore brand that is not at all pricy, I must say I was very impressed with the finish of them. My most favourite is the Minted and I have gotten a lot of comments while wearing it. 

Warm Hues

 I decided to head downtown to have lunch, do a bit of shopping and mainly just to stroll around and enjoy the beautiful sunshine we were having in Toronto today. It was a perfect spring day to end my exam period and to bring out these bright trousers. I paired it with a denim vest that I thought would be ideal to bring out the colour. Here are a few shots taken before I left:
