Dior 5 Couleurs Designer 508 Nude Pink Design Palette*

Dior 5 Couleurs Designer 508 Nude Pink Design swatch review

The Dior 5 Couleur Design Palettes 508 Nude Pink Design* ($63CDN) is probably one of my preferred shade combos from the range ( I also like Purple Design). There's more contrast in the shade selection and the mix of the pink and light brown/taupe works well. I tend to mix colors and neutrals on my lids so this combo spoke to me more than the other options I've tried. Here is my general opinions of these palettes.

L'Occitane and their Labels


There's something very unique about L'Occitane's packaging. You may not have noticed but the majority of their products, prettily packaged, expertly labelled, also has Braille.  While I was playing around with some my deliveries, I noticed bumps on a body milk. It didn't quite register but when I started noticing other bumps I realized what it was and was impressed by my discovering. I don't know of any other beauty/skincare brand that makes this attempt at accessibility.

Blindly Buying Glasses Online - A Firmoo Experience*

*Press Sample

firmoo buying experience glasses review

I've long avoided buying glasses online. While everyone else can score free first pairs and low priced frames, there were many fears for my very high prescription that kept me from trying. 

For someone with a -6.00 and -6.50 prescription, I'm practically blind without glasses. When I misplace them, its not a simple activity to find them again. Its a nose to the ground and senseless groping of the floor type activity where a mild panic can settle into my heart as I contemplate never being able to see a Korea drama on my computer screen again. On top of that, having such a high prescription means that I need the thinnest lenses possible and the awkward symmetry of my head means I always need help adjusting the frames to my face. 

There were many reasons to avoid blindly buying glasses online.

*I did not purchase this

CoverGirl TruBlend Foundation M3* review

The Covergirl Trublend* liquid foundation is supposed to seamlessly blend into your skin for a flawless look. I can't seem to find much else about its claims so there you go.

The Little Things


Shrink anything and you will instantly get a few likes just for being so adorbs. (Take Steph, for example. Hahaha! Sorry.)

Mini horses? Frickin cute.
Mini human? Oomgz
Mini cake on sticks? Get into my tummy now.

(Mini Pashli? One day you will be miinnnesss...*edit*...have since bought this bag)

Not only do mini items get points for aesthetic but I've been loving a few miniatures in my beauty stash for pure functionality.
