MY FAVOURITE LIP COMBO

Hey lovies, I have been on the hunt for the perfect brown lipstick and let me tell you, this hunt has not been easy. The colour that I am looking for is one similar to Lime Crime's "Salem" and is sort of a dark brown colour. If I do get my hands on Lime Crime's "Salem" I will be beyond excited but it is a bit pricey. I have not found a lip product exactly like what I am looking for but I have gotten close. I found that if I combined these two inexpensive products, I will get something that is not exactly the same but close enough for me at least. This combo has become my mostly worn and favourite lip combo of all time!

I first use NYX "829 Hot Cocoa" to line my outer lip, then I apply it all over my lips. This colour is a very dark brown but works perfectly with the next lip product that I use.

I then apply Jordana "32 Milano" -which is supposed to be a matte lipstick but is far from it- over my lips. This lipstick is of a brown colour but with a visible red undertone.

Together these products make a great lip combo and the great thing about them, is that they are both inexpensive and does not cost as much as Lime Crime's products but still gives me a colour almost similar to "Salem". I hope you guys enjoy this new post and thank you so much for reading.

TRIP TO MARIGOT BAY

Hi loves, I've been doing some site seeing and travelling all across my beautiful island (St. Lucia), and I decided to share some pictures from my adventure with you guys to make my blog a little more interesting. I recently went to Marigot Bay with some of my family's closest friends and I had a blast. I had so much fun and many new experiences, that my fingers are so excited and jumping all across my keyboard in typing this.

The sandy area with the tall coconut trees that you see is the part of Marigot Bay that persons go to bathe and enjoy the beach. It looks tiny in the picture, but it is the perfect place if you are someone who does not like crowded, loud beaches. 

Because of where the area is located we had to get a boat to get there. This was my first time stepping foot on a boat. Can you believe that an eighteen-year-old girl, born and raised in the Caribbean has never been on any type of boat? Well not anymore. Since I have never been on one I always feared them, but it was not that bad and felt like I was at the back of a very slow pick up truck.

When we got there, the warm sand felt amazing rushing through the gaps between my toes, the coconut trees made the perfect beach umbrellas and the view of the bay was perfect. This little area was absolutely beautiful.

I got to see so many boats up close, playing reggae music with tourists dancing and partying and some were really calm while they enjoyed the view. Seeing other people enjoy my island is truly amazing and gives me that feeling and awareness that I am blessed to have an island that I call home.

The sea was crystal clear and warm. The way its colour's cascades from clear to green to blue is absolutely beautiful.

In less than no time I had to go for a swim (even though I couldn't), but it doesn't hurt to try in shallow water right? I went in the water twice because I wanted to enjoy every bit of it.

When I got out of the water the first time, I got to see some cool art pieces that other locals like me made. This one is actually a bird feed made out of dried coconut. How creative is this? I even gave him the idea of painting them to give it a more realistic feel. You can even play around with all the different parts because you could move them around.

Excuse my raisin fingers -evidence that I stayed in the water way too long. Of course, I had to eat a fruit while I was there so I opted for a sweet, juicy mango. I ate two in fact cause they were that good.

After eating my mangoes, I stayed in the water for a little bit more but then it was time to leave because the sun was beginning to tell us goodbye. All in all, this was truly an amazing day, and goes into my book of 'Some of my best days ever'. I definitely recommend visiting there but be sure to bring food with you.

HASK DEEP CONDITIONER

Hey lovies, I recently went on a mini shopping spree -even though I bought four items before my money ran out. I needed to get some pampering products for my hair, and what better product to pamper your hair with than a deep conditioner, so I bought two deep conditioners by HASK. They were very inexpensive and I bought them at the M&C Drugstore.

The first deep conditioner that I got is the "HASK Naturals Repairing Masque", this is the first time I have tried this deep conditioner and when I opened the packet I was so surprised. The smell of this is so amazing that I literally stood there smelling it. If you're wondering what the smell or scent is, it is somewhat of a tropical, floral scent. 

The next deep conditioner that I got is the"HASK Monoi Oil Nourishing Deep Conditioner". This one also has an amazing scent. The scent for some reason reminds me of Coconuts. HASK doesn't seem to disappoint with scent. I've used this once before and it made my hair feel so soft and easy to detangle. My hair felt moisturized and soft for an entire week, which is rare with my natural hair, and it made my hair smell like coconuts too. This is why I repurchased it and decided to try out some more HASK Deep Conditioners. I have used other deep conditioners like the "Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intense Conditioning Treatment" and it only made my hair feel dry which caused my hair strands to snap and break off. I'm loving HASK Deep Conditioners and I don't see myself using anything else.

MUST HAVE TUESDAYS

Hey everyone, welcome to 'Must Have Tuesdays' where I post every Tuesday items from makeup, food, jewelry, nail polish, etc, that I cannot live without or that I have been loving. This is first out of many ideas that I have in store for you guys and I'm really excited to post and express my love for each individual item and many more items to come. If you haven't noticed, I become obsessed with things very easily. So for the first 'Must Have Tuesdays', there are 3 things that I just cannot let go of or I find myself repurchasing and they are:

Dove Orignal Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

This is the first spray deodorant that I actually like, I have tried or used some other brands and by half way through the day I'm back to being a sweaty, smelly mess, which is why I have avoided spray deodorants for the stick versions instead. This deodorant actually lasts all day even to the next morning/afternoon when I have one of those days where I take a bathe at 3pm. I love it sooo much that I only used it for special occasions, that's how delusional I am but also that's how much I'm in love with it.

Ruby Kisses Lightning Top Coat

The next amazing item that I love is the 'Ruby Kisses Lightning Top Coat'. I have repurchased this twice and keep on loving it. This is the product that helps my nail polish last for a really long time, like an entire week. Although it enhances my laziness for doing nails, but that is something that I cannot be upset about. This product is actually one of two Ruby Kisses nail polishes that I own.

Tea Tree Oil

The last item is 'Tea Tree Oil'. My skin has been on a roller coaster lately and this helps my skin ALOT. I tend to break out more above my upper lip and this product is like magic. It doesn't get rid of the pimples immediately, but it helps to get rid of it faster, and it's all-natural so that's a plus.

That's all for my 'Must Have Tuesdays' lovies. I hope you guys enjoyed it! Feel free to comment and please subscribe to my blog for updates and follow me on my social media outlets, you can even email me to provide me with blogging ideas and I might just post about it.

I hope you all had a wonderful Good Friday and Easter, God Bless and see you in my next post!

BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE HAUL

Did a little damage to my wallet today well my parents wallet since I'm still in school but these are the items that I bought from a local beauty supply store called "Wings of Love" and drugstore called "M&C Drugstore". Can you tell that they are my favourite stores? Here are the name of the items that I purchased:

Kleancolor Iconic Eyebrow Gel in Dark Brown. I haven't tried it out yet since I haven't done my eyebrows (I'm growing them out), but I promise that when I do I will definitely do a review.

Jordana Best Length Extreme Lengthening Mascara in 303 Black. I love this mascara, one coat of this and my eyelashes look amazing, it is definitely not waterproof and rub off very easily, which is a good thing when it's time to take off my makeup but a horrible thing when I'm having a really busy, sweaty day. Other than that they work great in lengthening my eyelashes.

NYX Lip Liner Pencils

1) 809 Mahogany 

2) 839 Dolly Pink

I don't really need to explain my love for lip liners anymore, but I really do like these colours. Dolly Pink is different from all the lip liners that I own since most of them are nudes, so I am a little big excited about trying it out. Mahogany is like a brown but with a redish undertone which I didn't like at first but I am slowly falling in love with it.

Santee Plus Nail Lacquer in M62A Baby Pink. First of all I'm horrible at applying nail polish but other than that I really enjoy this colour and I'm thinking of putting it to great use for Easter.

Sacha Lipsticks

1) Maroon Glaze

2) Matte Me Coral

Love love love these lipsticks and I definitely will be speaking about them more in an upcoming posts so stay tuned for that.
