Two Ingredient Pancakes

One + One = Pancakes.

All you need in this recipe are two ingredients. There are a bunch of add ons if you'd like but if you're in the mood for pancakes and don't have all the items for the traditional sort, two eggs and one banana will get you very far.

FOTD #14: Because Matching isn't a Bad Thing (ft. Pur Minerals Epic Illusion Palette)

*Press Sample

Thought process while trying out the Pur Minerals Epic Illusions Palette* ($32CDN):

- I don't like palettes with multiple formulas. My preference is for either all creams or all powders, never a mix. 

- Getting a face palette where every shade is truly multiuse means a lot pinks (and variants) and browns (and variants).

- I wasn't convinced that such a matchy matchy palette would really work (even though I should have learned by now that it does).

Making Mistakes (ft. Born Pretty Lomeou Makeup Remover Pen)

Though much less impactful, makeup errors can be as annoying as some other life mistakes. Nearly perfected makeup needs only a slip of liner or a lid imprint of mascara and all your efforts just go to shit. In that moment, I usually go with two options: wash and redo, or the wet-finger-rub. Neither ideal but, in life, you've got to roll with the punches. Thankfully, a thir (and much better) option has recently presented itself, the Born Pretty Make Up Remover Pen* ($5USD, 1.5g). 

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation*

I'm finally writing about the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation* ($50CDN, liquid: 30ml, stick: 12.5g)! So many people have fallen in love with this foundation and it won an Allure Beauty Award in 2015. I'm a fan of light coverage foundations but this medium foundation option is checking off a lot of boxes.

That Party in My Heart

I'm so cool, I wait until the end of the year to listen to all the cool music. As I sat on my couch last night perusing list after list of top 10, 20, 50 albums, songs, new releases of 2015, I laugh at myself for how 'with it' I am. 

Pretty Awesome (ft. a Born Pretty Eyeshadow Palette)

You won't believe how good this is. Seriously.

There have been times when I've cut finance corners by finding the cheapo version of something off Ebay. Why pay $9 at My-Partner's-Name-Tea-Shop for a tea steeper when I can buy the same thing for $2? Why buy Fruit-Branded-Tech-Store charger cords for $40 when I can get the exact same thing for less? Ebay is my friend. Ebay saves me money. Though I like a bargain, I am equally likely to splurge on items and make up can be one of them. But when I touched the Born Pretty Make Up Palette* ($7 on sale), I was like 'Woah' and, I was humbled....you know, just a little and reminded that good quality makeup doesn't always come at a price.
