BB Cream and a little update!

Working in the beauty industry, I always find myself wanting to try new products and see what works and what doesn't! Of course, I spend most of my time trying hair products since hair is my thing, but lately I've been contemplating trying some new makeup products too!

When it comes to make up, I'm actually a huge snob. Generally speaking, I only use MAC products, and I adore them. I've been using MAC ever since I started wearing makeup (minus one or two adventures as a young teen!) but it's what works best for me, and so I usually don't like to stray to far from what I know works for my skin type and makes me feel comfortable.

All that being said, MAC products really add up - I don't even want to think about the amount of money I've spent on the stuff, and lately since I've really been pinching pennies I've been thinking about venturing into the realm of something like a BB cream to give me some light coverage that I can layer a light coat of powder over and go. I also find that in the summer and on my days off I really hate wearing a heavy coverage makeup, but that I don't really feel comfortable going out without anything on my face!

So last week I got a sample of Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB balm and I thought that I would give it a try today and see how it feels on my face. I actually really like it. It's light, moisturizing and matched my skin super well with the light/medium colour. I layered a light coat of my MAC studio fix over it to cut the shine down a little, and my face feels great and it definitely gave me just enough makeup for a more natural looking day!

Since I liked it so much I took a run down to the drug store and actually managed to buy it on sale for 7.99$! A 5 dollar savings off of it's regular price (not to mention about a 25$ difference from my usual purchase of MAC!) I'll give it a go over the next little while and see how it goes, I figure for 8 dollars I might as well give it a try, right?


As for the rest of my life, just busy with work and trying to keep myself on track with my goals (which is always way harder than it sounds!) However I did have a great Valentine's day with Alex... we went to a spa and had a couple's massage which was fantastic, and went for a delicious dinner at Onyx Steak house which I love! If you live in the Vancouver area and have never been to Onyx, you are missing out! The food is fantastic, and the staff is always beyond helpful. Love it! It was a great day!

Speaking of fantastic days, today is amazing outside. It's warm-ish, sunny and a wonderful day for a drive! I spent mine running errands and being outside, and I hope all of you get a chance to enjoy a small bit of it! =)

Oh, and I can't forget, Go Canucks, Go!

Blog, and be happy!
