ULTA Beauty Fall Haul
I was lucky enough to purchase some items while ULTA beauty was having a 10x the points offer online a few days ago. This means that I will receive 10x the points for the items that I purchased since they were part of their selected items for the offer. What an awesome deal and those rewards points add up fast and can be used to save money on future purchases.

Contouring and Highlighting
Makeup has existed to enhance and beautify the appearance of the body. Cosmetics have been around since the beginning of time and have evolved drastically depending on the fashion and beauty trends of the decades and centuries that have gone by. Most makeup nowadays consists of products made out of creams, liquids, powders, pencils, or rouge. After YouTube came to be, many girls and women started creating makeup tutorial videos and became self-proclaiming “beauty gurus.” They started developing nuanced makeup techniques, one of the most popular being contouring and highlighting.

Tips on Maintaining & Growing 4c Natural Hair
Having 4c hair can be a struggle for some people, but once you understand it, your life will be much easier. Well, caring for your hair. Out of 4a, 4b, and 4c hair, 4c hair is the kinkiest and most tightly coiled hair in its section. Like I stated before, it can be difficult for some naturalists to care if they have 4c hair. Trust me, I know since I have 4c hair as well.

5 Favorite Korean Toners
Korean skincare products are taking the world by storm. Stores like ULTA and Sephora are starting to carry these skincare products that come from overseas. There are many different brands to choose from online and also in stores. It may be a difficult choice on which toner to purchase with so many different brands out there to choose from. Korean toners do not have alcohol in them like American toners do, because of this Korean toners won't strip or dry out your skin like their American counterparts do.

11 Eyeshadow Palettes and My Tift with Them
Disclaimer: All information was gathered from @trendmood, an amazing Instagram account that makeup junkies need to follow, stat. Constructive criticism is not someone being negative and hateful. It comes from a positive place and intention in wanting someone to improve and better themselves. Because if I “hate” something, I’m not going to waste my time and energy talking about it (most of the times). So if you are sensitive to constructive criticism, you are welcome to leave. Watch my video on YT but this is better. Datum, I wrote Part I not even a week ago. Brands need to chill with this pumping out of MU.

11 Luxury MU Brands at Shoppers Drug Mart
Disclaimer I could be completely wrong (so whatever I say = grain of salt). But I do feel that a lot of Canadian makeup consumers do not know that Shoppers Drug Mart also carries quite a few luxury or high end makeup brands, which we see at Sephora. And I would urge people to pay attention to putting their money at Shoppers Drug Mart because the point system is (absolutely) so much better, hands down. And the rewards are endless, comparatively to what Sephora offers (which is kind of embarrassing for Sephora, but obviously they are not bothered). I also do think that Canadians supporting a Canadian business would be nice (unless it’s not Canadian, like Tim Hortons), but that’s just me. Also, you can buy both drugstore and high end makeup at one place, maximizing the reward system. Granted there are two cons with SDM.
