Fall Wishlist

I love fall! I love layering up when the weather is chilly, but not too cold. It's the time of year for scarves and sweaters and dark reds. It's the time when your house smells like apple cider and freshly baked cookies. I mean, summer is ok, but I'm definitely ready for some autumn weather.

I made a wishlist of things that I'm pretty excited to try and buy this fall. I might not be able to get all of them (the Valentino shoes!) but I'm definitely trying some tea.

1. RED Valentino Snow White Disney patent-leather pumps - $650

I can't even tell you how much I love Disney. I am all about it. I dream about being a Disney princess all day long. These shoes are just amazing, and I'm in love with them.

2. Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Ruby - $25

Too Faced is hands down my favourite makeup brand. Their packaging is just so cute! I have seen people loving this lipstick all over the internet, and I am dying to try it. Definitely picking it up on my next trip to Sephora.

3. Forever 21 Fuzzy Plaid Sweater - $28

Loving the colours in this sweater! This looks perfect for fall, plus I don't feel like I have enough plaid going on in my closet. And Forever 21 is so affordable, I mean there's no reason not to buy it.

4. Tom Ford Black Orchid - $83 - 175

This fragrance looks like luxury. Black and gold just seems so classy to me. This perfume has notes of bergamot, citrus, mandarin, black gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lotus wood, orchid, spicy floral accord, patchoili, sandalwood, incense, and vanilla. I mean, who doesn't want to smell like that?

5. Bath & Body Works Fireside Candle - $22.50

With leather, sandalwood, and rich amber, I definitely want my house to smell like this. Everything about this candle is fall. And I feel like my candle collection needs a serious upgrade anyways.

6. David's Tea Pumpkin Chai - $7.50 for 50g

This black tea includes cinnamon, cloves, lemon peel, carrot, caramel bits and pumpkin candies. I am so ready to drink this. Plus this sounds healthier than a pumpkin spice latte (no hate). And you can get it in a cute little tin!

What are you guys excited to try this fall?

Hard Candy "Take It Off" Makeup Remover Review

I bought the Hard Candy Take It Off makeup remover the other day for around $5 since I ran out of my other makeup remover. I thought it was interesting that it came in a tube, instead of in a bottle like most makeup removers do. Plus the label is pretty cute. Since it was so cheap, I wasn't really expecting much.

When I went to use it, I was surprised that it actually came out like a cream. I had never used a makeup remover like this before, but I actually really like it. The scent is really nice, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling like I need to wash it ASAP like other makeup removers do. I will definitely be purchasing this product again, it is definitely the best makeup remover I've ever tried, and it's so inexpensive!

I rate this product: 5/5

The Balm "Liquid Timebalm" Spot Concealer Review

I went to London Drugs yesterday and found The Balm's Liquid Timebalm concealer for $8.99 (previously $26) and, obviously, I had to buy it. I haven't heard anything about this product but I've tried other things from The Balm that I liked, so I thought I'd give it a try.

The Liquid Timebalm concealer is a spot concealer with tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is an essential oil that kills bacteria, so it helps treat your skin even while you're wearing makeup.

I applied the concealer mostly to my nose, which is oily. I have never found any makeup that actually stays on my oily nose, and the Liquid Timebalm is no different. It goes on pretty pigmented, but it definitely did not last the whole day. I think it's my new favourite concealer though. Even though it didn't stay all day, it does a really good job of concealing imperfections. And it smells pretty good.

Overall, I give this product: 4/5
