ROC SKIN CARE DUO


ROC HYDRA+ ANTI-FATIGUE

As you may know, I have been well into skincare products as of late. I swear I can feel myself being drawn to the skincare section anytime I walk into a drugstore.  Lately, I have been hearing really great things about the quality and effectiveness of ROC products so I thought I would try a few products out. The Hydra+ Anti-Fatigue promises to reduce signs of fatigue for a more radiant skin. With lack of sleep and stress I often see changes in my skin and so I have been looking for an effective anti-fatigue product. I am so impressed by this product; the cream is rich and leaves my skin feeling well hydrated.  This face cream also absorbs into my skin fast which is great when you’re layering products. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a quick pick-me-up on those tired and stressful days. 

ROC DOUBLE ACTION EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

This product… is unreal! I have long been searching for a good waterproof make-up remover and I finally have. This makeup remover is very gentle and ideal for anyone with sensitive skin. This makeup remover is for eye makeup, but I use it to remove all of my makeup. It is a touch more expensive then the removers I usually use, but it is so worth it. It removes all traces of makeup so easily, it is almost unbelievable. Get this product, seriously!

SPRING SCENTS


In my opinion, perfumes are one of those products that you get what you pay for. I used to love body sprays and mists as a kid. Maybe I over did it, but I cannot stand these smells any longer. I feel as if you can sense if a perfume is cheap from the smell. Or perhaps, I just don't like the way these perfumes settle and smell on myself. Anyways not to over complicate anything, I just enjoy a higher end perfume product. More specifically, I like a light, flowery perfume scent. Check out my top three scents for Spring below!
Light Blue by DOLCE&GABANNA

This is the perfect scent for Spring/Summer. This clean, crisp perfume is by far my favourite at the moment. This scent will definitely last you the work day and you do not need a lot of product. The packaging is pretty basic, a frosted bottle with a blue lid. I like to display my perfumes so I prefer a 'prettier' bottle, but this scent is just too good to pass up. 


Si by Giorgio Armani

I would consider this perfume to be quite heavy. The one thing about this perfume that stands out the most is its longevity, it lingers forever. It's a very feminine and classy smelling perfume. I prefer to use this perfume for special occasions opposed to everyday wear. 

Chance By Chanel 

This a a beautiful light, floral scent. I find it to be very feminine and mature. This is an nice scent for everyday wear due how airy and light it is. Chance by Chanel is really a classic perfume.

Quite the combination of items on this list, but I hope you enjoy!

THE PALETTE POST

NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette


First off, I am extremely pleased with the quality of this affordable drugstore product. This palette offers a really good range of shades to accommodate different skin tones. There are four highlighting shades and four bronzing shades within this palette. I find the included shades to be quiet pigmented, you certainly do not need a lot of product for desired effect. The offering of colours helps to ensure a well blended and natural looking face. Overall, I think this is a great product fro beginners and experts alike! Oh, I also appreciate that you can refill the different shades at a really affordable price!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette


Most of you are probably sick of people raving about the Naked palettes. But I have just discovered Naked 2 and I am so impressed. I love the range of shadows offered in these palettes and specific to Naked 2, I love the pinky hues. The eye shadows are extremely pigmented and you do not need to use a lot of this product. This is always important to me when I invest in more expensive, higher-end products because I want it to last.

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes


I love this cute little portable eye contour kit from Benefit. The eye shadows are really pigmented, they last all day and do not crease. The shadows are also really easy to apply and blend beautifully. I love that you can use this palette for a light natural look or build it up for a night out. The only flaw with this palette is that it comes with one shade of concealer and it is way too dark for my skin tone. It feels wasteful that I can't use the concealer for this palette, so it would be awesome if there were more of a selection.
