Song: March was another great month for music and I really had to work hard to narrow it down to my top three. First up is Jennifer Nettles’ new song, “Unlove You”. I’ve been eagerly waiting for Sugarland to reunite as I haven’t been a fan of any of their solo work until now, but this song is amazing. Next up is “Beautiful Drug” by Zac Brown Band and “Colors” by Halsey which are both such fun songs to drive and sing along with.

 

 

 

Read: I’ve been doing terrible with reading this past month, I haven’t picked up my novel since my February monthly favourites post. I haven’t even been reading blogs this past month as evidenced by the huge number of unread posts in my Bloglovin’ feed.

TV Show or Movie: I’ve been rewatching “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” as well as “New Girl” (for the third time!) which means that my productivity is at an all-time low. I absolutely love both of these shows as they are fun, mindless entertainment and they make me laugh aloud which is a fairly impressive feat.

Beauty Product: I picked up a sample of the YSL Touche Eclat le Teint foundation at Sephora back in February and despite the fact that I seem to be in the minority, I have been loving it! However, given the steep price tag, I will hold off until the Sephora VIB sale to pick it up. I’ve also been loving my ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in “Scrooge”. It is by far the most comfortable liquid lipstick that I’ve tried and you cannot beat the price!

Food: Jordan picked up some sushi from Sun Sushi for us last weekend and it was actually my first time trying sushi there. I loved the California roll as well as the salmon roll and I definitely feel like I need to try more from there now.

Purchase: The J. Crew Factory “Teddie” sweater in “Bauble Pink”. I picked this up when I was in Florida and it is the perfect Spring sweater. It is lightweight enough that it could be paired with shorts into summer and the coral color is the perfect pick-me-up this time of year. The huge bag of mini eggs that I purchased on clearance after Easter are a close runner-up though!

Review: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Brow Pencil & Lip Review

Make Up For Ever recently launched their new Pro Sculpting Collection which includes a Pro Sculpting face palette, brow pencil, and lip tool. Combined, these products are used to enhance your features using light and shadow techniques. When I was contacted by a member of the Make Up For Ever team asking if I’d like to try out the products, I didn’t even hesitate to say yes! Make Up For Ever is one of my favourite makeup brands, so I was super grateful for the opportunity.

I opted not to receive the contour palette as I feel like I am fairly new to the art of contouring and it isn’t something that I do on a regular basis. However, for those of you who are interested, the Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette is available in four colors: light (20), medium (30), tan (40) and dark (50). Each palette includes a cream highlight, shimmer, contour and blush shade. After watching Nancy’s and Ashlee’s reviews of the palette, I am totally regretting not getting one to try as it looks super nice and easy to use. For those of you who prefer the idea of cream products as opposed to powder for contouring, this would be a great palette for you to check out. The palette is available for purchase at Sephora and Make Up For Ever Canada for $54 CAN.

Next up is the Pro Sculpting Brow Pencil, which is a 3-in-1 tool that combines a beveled brow color with a bristle brush for grooming and (my favourite part!) a secret highlighter tool for defining and illuminating arches! This product is available in five shades – blonde (10), dark blonde (20), brown (30), dark brown (40), and brown black (50). I received the shade blonde (10) and my only problem with the color is that it looks a bit orange under certain lighting. However, I didn’t notice it once I applied it to my eyebrows, just on the swatch. Due to the waxy formula, this product doesn’t budge on your eyebrows! The highlight shade is a light cream-colored matte which pairs beautifully with the brow color. This product retails for $32 CAN at Sephora and Make Up For Ever Canada.

Last but not least is the Pro Sculpting Lip, which is similar to the brow pencil in that it is a 2-in-1 combination tool, combining both a lip color and highlighter. Make Up For Ever describes this lip product as a satin finish but I find that it tends to look more of a semi-matte on the lips. However, it is super comfortable and not drying at all. The pigment is amazing and the color lasts for hours (it honestly took like three days for the swatch to come off my hand, even with frequency handwashing!). I received this in the color “Rust” (11) but it is available in three other shades – Rosewood (10), Carmine Red (40) and Purple (50). Like the brow pencil, this lip color includes a highlighter on the opposite end and each shade has a different color highlighter. The highlighter with Rust is a white, shimmery color. Make Up For Ever recommends using the highlighter at the center of the lips to create volume, but it would also work well as a highlight at the cupid’s bow. This product is available at Sephora and Make Up For Ever Canada for $32 CAN.

Overall, I am really impressed with the new Pro Sculpting line from Make Up For Ever and I highly recommend that you check it out! I am definitely adding the shades “Rosewood” and “Purple” to my wishlist and I will certainly be checking out the palette during my next visit to Sephora.
