Colourpop is an LA-based cosmetics company that produces high quality makeup sold at affordable prices exclusively online. What makes them special to me is their way of collaborating with bloggers and style-influencers in order to market their variety of lip products, eyeshadows, and so forth.
This is how I found out about Colourpop! I first heard about them through their collaboration with Youtuber ItsMyRayeRaye. Then came their partnership with fashion-influencer Feral Creature, and then another one of my favorite Youtubers Jenn Im. With so much influence from the people I love to watch, I was planning on purchasing some products, but the truth was I didn't know where to start. After having one of their eyeshadows used on me during a photoshoot, I decided to start by ordering what's called their Super Shock Shadows and even a highlighter. After paying only $30 I got six Super Shock Shadows, one highlighter, and two free eyeshadow brushes. What a steal! I usually pay that much for one makeup product in comparison. Because I like using golds and rosy pinks on my eyes, I stuck to that color palette when choosing what I wanted. Here are the shades that I got.
1. Might Be {Highlighter}
2. Tea Party
3. Sequin
4. Cat Nap
5. La La
6. Birthday Girl
7. Amaze`
Cat Nap in particular was apart of their collaboration with the Best Friends Animal Society where all the proceeds go to No-Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) in efforts to save animals from shelters. This shade did discontinue previously but now it's back as a permanent addition to Colourpop's Super Shock Shadows! It even comes separately packaged with a card featuring a cute animal to thank you for the donation, which is a nice touch I might add.
Overall, my first postal order from Colourpop was impressive to say the least. All the Super Shock Shadows are highly pigmented and add a glowing touch to my eyes when used. Additionally, the highlighter makes a statement in and out of any lighting, making it a favorite finishing step in my makeup routine. Being so impressed with a small portion of their products, I'll be sure to check out their Lippie Stix as well as the fairly popular Ultra Matte Lip stains.

When you're on-the-go and the scenery changes from day to night you don't want to have to think about changing your entire makeup look and outfit, especially when you're on vacation. I'm currently enjoying my last winter break as I have just finished my last semester of University. After enduring four years of studies, this 21 year-old college graduate deserves the celebration of a lifetime and what better place to go than Vegas! I've been to Vegas once before as a kid but never as an adult looking to have a good time in celebration of her success. With any vacation comes planning, and being an organized individual I use Vegas.com for the hotel package deals to see what I can get for my trip. My personal favorites are the deals featured for the Venetian, Palazzo, and Bellagio hotels. Being so big, bold, and romantic, I would like to match the scenery with a sweet look for the daytime and something more dramatic for a night out on the Strip. I use the same looks on a regular day in Los Angeles when I'm on-the-go as my scenery changes within just a couple of hours. Here's how I transition from day to night.
During the day I like to keep my look natural and blushed so I incorporate a lot of rosy pinks on the eyes and cheeks. I do this by using the Naked 3 Palette as well as the Lorac Pro Palette for nicely pigmented eyeshadows that reflect beautifully in the sun. I essentially try to achieve a light rose gold. First, I use "Trick" as a base on the entire lid of my eye, then I dab a little bit of "Buzz" on top to give it a more rosy look. One of my favorite things to do with eyeshadows is use a light glitter on the inner-corners of my eyes. "Dust" is the perfect shade for this effect so I go ahead and do so on both corners. I also use the same eyeshadow just below my eyebrows and right above my cupid's bow for a little more highlight. Moving on to the Lorac Pro Palette, I use "Gold" and "It Bronze" on the outer corners of my eyes for more definition. For the finishing touch I use a signature makeup trick of mine which is to use a gold shadow on my cheeks, almost like a blush. After the eyes, I do my everyday winged eyeliner, put on mascara, blush, eyebrows, and my favorite daytime perfume Chloe Love Story. Lastly, I'll decide on what kind of lip I'm going to do to complete the look. I love layering lipstick to achieve different shades so I lightly use Mac's burgundy lipstick "Diva" as a base and then go over it with Mac's "Brick-O-La" which is more of a natural pink. For my outfit, I used cool-toned neutrals to go with my makeup look. This kind of ensemble is perfect for going to my favorite coffee shop Alfred Coffee + Kitchen for my signature hot vanilla latte.

For night time, I like to go for a more daring look so I amp up the darker tones in my makeup and outfit. For my eyes I use the Naked 2 Palette which has amazing shades for a look that makes a statement. Since we're going to be out all night I always start off by using a primer on my eyes and some tinted moisturizer on my face. After that I begin with eyeshadows using "Half Baked" as a base on the entire lid of my eye and then go over it with "Gold" from the Lorac Pro Palette. Then I use "Pewter" from the same palette on the outer corners of my eyes for more definition. Next I go back to the Naked 2 Palette and use "YDK" on the inner corners and finish off with "Chopper" on top. I also use "Chopper" for a little highlight just below my brows, on top of the cheeks, and above my cupid's bow. After the eyeshadows I touch up winged eyeliner, blush, eyebrows, and even add some eyelash extensions to really make my eyes stand out. For lips I solely use Mac's "Diva" for a signature red lip. Since the sun is gone and night is alive, I like to use my favorite sensual perfume Atelier Cologne in Cameila Interpede. I kept my outfit the same and switched out my grey moto jacket for a black leather jacket. I also unbuttoned my top to show a little more skin. This kind of look is perfect for an evening photoshoot with my photographer.

Canadian photography blogger Infinitely Vicki has collaborated with me to bring you our beauty favorites! Even though we live in two different countries, Vicki and I both have a feminine and sophisticated preference when coming to the products that we use. As young women and two girl bosses that have an undeniable love for blogging and photography, it's important that we embrace our beauty. Here are some of our favorite products!
Coveted Eclectic {California}
1. Flora by Gucci
This perfume is one of the very first fragrances I've received as a gift. After finding it hidden in my closet, I decided to start wearing the last bits that were left. It reminded me of why I loved this fragrance so much. Its distinct rich scent with hints of bergamot and sandalwood makes this perfect fragrance for the abrupt transition into fall.
2. Hope in a Jar Cream
This cream has become my holy grail item when coming to skincare. I'm usually not one to use creams on my face but Hope in a Jar has done wonders for my skin. After a couple of weeks of using this moisturizer, I found my skin softer and more defined. I'll definitely be restocking on the full-size version of this product.
3. Caudalie Paris
Vinoperfect Cleansing Water
Vinoperfect Cleansing Water
This cleansing water has become another holy grail item for me when coming to removing makeup. One thing I hate is when makeup removers leave my skin feeling rough and dry. Not only does this cleansing water seamlessly remove all my makeup, it leaves my skin nice and soft. The best thing about this product is the fact that it's made with organic grape water and camomile. The scent adds an elegant touch to the end of my skincare routine.
4. Caudalie Paris
Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Fluid
Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Fluid
This product is life saving when coming to getting rid of dark circles and loose pores. After a couple of weeks of using it around my eyes the bags slowly began to decrease. I especially like how light the cream is as I don't enjoy having heavy product on my face all day. Sometimes I'll use the perfecting fluid as a primer for my makeup but most of the time I'll put it on after cleansing my face in the morning.
5. Caudalie Paris
Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
This has to be my favorite products when coming to skincare. This serum really keeps my skin feeling clean throughout the night as I apply it right before bed. Keeping the consistency of the beautiful scent, it also corrects any discoloration on the face, especially when coming to the darkness under my eyes.
Infinitely Vicki {Canada}
1. E.L.F Cosmetics Bronzer (Color: Gold)
2. Mac Instacurl Mascara
3. Too Cool For School's Egg Mousse Pack
4. Colourpop x Jenn Im- Jenn Ne Sais Quoi-Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick (Color: Dohee)
5. Colourpop x Jenn Im- Jenn Ne Sais Quoi- Lip Pencil (Color: Dohee)
6. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation (Color: Nude Beige 203)
As a California native, I like scents and anything that keeps my skin feeling smooth and blemish-free. Check out Infinitely Vicki's blog for her beauty favorites and what she's been loving to use in Canada!

Eyebrows!
How many of us have gone through the struggle of trying different products looking for the ones that make up our everyday brow routine? I sure have. But I can tell you one thing, a girl boss never gives up especially when coming to her makeup. Being an avid blog reader and Youtube subscriber, I've done my fair share of research when coming to perfecting my eyebrows. With the new incorporation of Glossier's Boy Brow, I finally have a complete set of holy grail products that give me smooth and seamless brows every time. Here they are!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz {Color: Dark Brown}
Glossier Boy Brow {Color: Black}
Benefit Cosmetics Ka-Brow! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color w/ Brush {Color: 05-Deep}
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisterizer {Color: Cuba-Medium 3}
As a girl boss, I'm constantly planning, working, and most importantly making decisions. But one thing I like to put off before starting my day is doing my makeup. When I'm on the go, I simply don't have time to sit down at my vanity and carefully engage in my daily makeup routine. I want to beat that LA traffic and skip the long line at my favorite cafe before heading to work. So with a minimal look, I go to Alfred {Coffee + Kitchen} and order my signature vanilla latte. After getting my coffee I sit down, turn on my computer, and open Photo Booth so I can start doing my makeup. I lay out all my products in-order and follow an easy 4-step routine that never fails.
1. Shape The Brows
I gently brush my brow hairs in the direction that I want with the spooly on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. I then turn it around to the other side for the the easy-to-use retractable pencil and start adding small strokes in the direction I brushed my hairs. This creates the overall shape of my brows so I can use it as a guide for the steps coming up.
2. Tint
With the Glossier Boy Brow, I use the small applicator brush to tint my eyebrows black as a match for my dark hair. I mainly focus on the middle part of my brows when coming to my strokes as I like to keep that part nice and thick. I make sure to brush in the direction that I set my hairs in Step 1 to keep the look I'm going for consistent. Sometimes this pomade is all I need for a natural look, but on a busy day I like to keep my eyebrows prominent and long-lasting. This product keeps its color throughout the entire day and the best part, no residue or fading.
3. Brow Gel
The Benefit Cosmetics Ka-Brow! Cream-Gel is the best I've used out of all the products I've tried in the past. With the convenient angled brush on top, I'm able to sharpen and define my brows in seconds. Starting of at the end of my eyebrow, I define the tail so I can determine the length before filling them in. I like to get them as identical as possible but as we all know eyebrows are sisters, not twins. Once I get that right on both ends I start filling in the open spaces left after step 1 & 2. I like to keep my brows faded at the beginning for a more natural look so I make sure to brush lightly and carefully in that area.
4. Seal The Deal w/ My Secret Weapon
After my brows are complete, I seal the deal by using a small amount of NARS tinted moisturizer along the edges. This gets rid of any mistakes I made and makes my brows look extra smooth. At this point, my eyebrows are completely done but I like to use a secret weapon of mine. Q-tips! Sometimes I have some wonky brush marks around the parts I may have messed up on and it can get messy without having something to wipe it off with. Q-tips are the perfect thing to have on-hand as they can get to the spots I'm trying to fix without having to start all over.
That concludes my eyebrow routine!
Doing my makeup on the way to my desitination is the most convenient way to make myself pretty on the run. If you're a girl boss too, then this is the perfect routine to follow for your eyebrows.

Yes, the one and only Glossier Boy Brow! I was so excited that I literally screamed after seeing it at my front door. I have never been so thrilled to try a beauty product. I immediately took it into my room with a pair of scissors and opened the box. I was pleasantly greeted with the prettiest packaging I've ever seen! The box was baby pink on the inside featuring their motto "Skin first, Makeup Second, Smile Always". How cute! My beautiful Boy Brow was there in a chic hot pink packaging and was acquainted by stickers and a double-sided poster. I was so impressed with Glossier's product presentation that I had to take out my camera and take a couple of shots. But what made me buy the Boy Brow in the first place?
Well, after sadly running out of my Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel, I've been looking for another one to take it's place. Being in love with Glossier lately, I've been looking at the beauty products on their website. I also know that some of my favorite bloggers Rachel Nguyen, Chriselle Lim, Christine Nguyen, Cali Vintage, and many more use this product. All of that gave me the extra push to purchase the infamous Boy Brow. Overall, I look forward to using it and seeing it in action myself. I'll be sure to let you know how I like it in a special post coming up!
How'd you like that mail time? After coming across such beautiful packaging from Glossier, I named this "Postage". As an avid online shopper, I tend to purchase more stuff online as opposed to in-store and in result get a ton of packages. I'm thinking about continuing to do posts like this one and show you the products that I get in the mail, like an unboxing. I love watching unboxing videos on Youtube and it would be fun to do something like that here! Let me know what you think!

I love watching unboxing videos on Youtube and it would be fun to do something like that here! Let me know what you think!
