Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color Review

Nudestix is a Canadian, cruelty-free beauty brand sold at Sephora. I got a chance to learn about their products at the grand opening of the Yonge and Eglinton Sephora, and sampled the Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color pencils. These eyeshadow pencils come in both matte and satin finishes, isn't tested on animals and is free of preservatives... all the things I look for in cosmetics! I wanted to share my thoughts in a Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color review.

Nudestix Magnetic Eye Color review: application

These products are a traditional pencil, and glide on the skin smoothly. I didn't find it scratchy at all and it was very creamy! The pencils blended easily with my fingers and I found it was best to build up coverage to create the desired look. I would definitely recommend using an eyeshadow primer, and also a matte powder shadow all over the eyelid to help create a blended look. My favourite part about the product? I LOVE that it comes with a custom, dedicated sharpener. I've ruined too many gorgeous chubby pencils with crappy dull sharpeners that are too big or too small for the product. I can feel confident that I won't completely ruin these amazing pencils!

How to wear a romper in the fall

It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end, but you don’t have to give up your rompers just yet. So how to wear a romper in the fall? A daisy print romper and a pair of black booties can be worn right now for a sexy night out look. But with a cool leather jacket and a pair of sheer tights, you can wear a romper in fall months. I love the look of a pair of sleek, black booties and bare legs. However, a pair of patterned sheer tights really can elevate this look. I’m wearing a daisy print romper from ASOS, purple Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, a red mini Emile tote by Alexander Wang and a pair of LAMB booties c/o DSW Canada.

Work wear Wednesday: navy scalloped dress

I find it difficult at times to dress for work when you have life events or parties on the same day. But I think I found the right balance with a cute navy scalloped dress that worked for the office and my sister's convocation. To keep things work-appropriate, I wore the dress earlier in the day with black suede flats. The scalloped dress has a shorter hemline with my height, and I needed to be comfortable as I was researching in a library, so I stuck with flats in this case. I swapped those out for a pair of iridescent holo (any holosexuals out there!? I'm addicted to Cristine's nail videos!) pumps to amp up my look into semi-formal attire for my sister's convocation. I'm wearing a navy scalloped dress from Winners (similar scalloped dress here), iridescent pumps from Vince Camuto, and a medium Harmony tote from Kate Spade.

I’m a huge fan of Bite Beauty lipstick. The Canadian brand is made of natural ingredients and leaves your lips moisturized and soft… the colour ranges are also so unique. I nearly lost it when I got my hands on shades from the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche collection. Featuring six shades for both Savory and Sweet. Inspired by food, this Bite Beauty lipstick collection is completely unique on the market. Keep reading the post to see my thoughts on each colour...and for some Bite beauty swatches from the Amuse Bouche collection.

The collection is divided into two sections - Sweet and Savory featuring six shades for each. The Amuse Bouche Sweet and Savory collection was inspired by contrasting flavours - from sweet lavender jam to hearty kale.
