A while back I got the chance to go to a private Lights concert hosted by Kiehls and L’oreal in support of a charity called Music Counts. Vernice was invited as press, and she brought me along as her plus one. The event was hosted at Studio Records on the Granville strip. Kiehls did an amazing job setting the place up and making us feel extremely welcomed and appreciated.

All the Press and VIPs got to enjoy the concert from upstairs, where there was a open-bar and servers constantly circling the place with plates of finger food. We got to meet and take photos with Lights who was actually such a genuine and friendly girl. Not to mention her live performance was freakin’ AMAZE-BALLS. You usually wouldn’t be able to tell from her very electronic pop songs, but oh man can that girl sing. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous; Not to mention she sang a variety of songs, from acoustic versions of her own singles, to covers of Sam Smith’s hits and she NAILED every single song.

It was an amazing event overall that supported a great cause. Kiehls even hooked us up with three of their full-sized products (which I will review for y’all as soon as I use them a bit longer). 

Also, what do you think about my new hat? I’ve been looking for a black floppy hat that looks good on me for THE LONGEST TIME. I think I finally found the perfect one from Oak and Fort. The brim is the perfect in-between too floppy and too stiff. So far I’ve only worn it once, but I think I’ll get a lot more use of it when it gets a little colder. 

Not to mention I feel pretty stylish when I wear it. 

Until next time !

FAVOURITE PRODUCTS OF 2014 https://speakoftheangel.com/favourite-products-of-2014/ https://speakoftheangel.com/favourite-products-of-2014/#respond Mon, 26 Jan 2015 05:58:27 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=146 tumblr_nib1bfi5FN1tfcow7o1_1280

 

I know I’m slightly over due with this post, since it is already nearing the end of January, but better late than never right? At least that’s what I always say.

I feel like 2014 was definitely a good year when it comes to beauty products. I think this was the first year I actually dabbled into higher end brands, all paid for by your’s truly … myself.

Sure I’ve had the occasional palette here and there that were gifted to me. But in 2014, I actually stopped being a girl, and decided to be a woman…. and purchase my own high end make up. (WOW)

MOTD : EVERYDAY MAKE UP https://speakoftheangel.com/motd-everyday-make-up/ https://speakoftheangel.com/motd-everyday-make-up/#respond Tue, 13 Jan 2015 23:55:30 +0000 http://theangeldossier.wordpress.com/?p=39 OCT

I hate getting sick. But for some reason I’ve just been getting sick so easily this past little while. I swear I just got better from a cold about 2 weeks ago and all of a sudden I’m sick again ) : . Pretty sad start to a new year.

One thing I hate about being is of course how I look. That sickly colourless skin, the dark under eye circles, the whole lot. So being the first day of school for me, and being someone who thoroughly enjoys looking fabulous almost all the time, here’s my make up of the day (MOTD).

IMG_2375

I started off with my CoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation that I’ve been loving lately. It applies and blends easily, leaves a matte finish but isn’t drying on my exceptionally dry skin. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this foundation for that specific reason, because my friend who also loves it has oily/combination skin. But I decided to give it a try anyways because I needed to try some new drugstore foundations, and I ended adoring it.

To cover my under eye circles I used the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy duty concealor. This stuff really is HEAVY DUTY. It is truly a full coverage concealer, which is something you don’t usually find at the drugstore. This tube has lasted me AGES. you literally need the littlest drop of this concealer for your under eyes. I even use this concealer to highlight my under eye / cheek bone area, which means I use a little more than you would just covering up your dark circles, and it still has lasted me a lifetime. For the price, this concealer is amazing and definitely worth checking out.

On my eyes I used my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. On days that I just want a super neutral look, this is always the palette that I grab. I LOVE matte eyeshadow looks, so this palette really is right up my alley. Today I used Faint (which is the medium brown colour) in my crease and outer V and then W.O.S. (a matte light pink) all over my lid. Oh and of course Venus (which is the only shimmer eyeshadow in the palette) in my inner corner and on my brow bone as a highlight.

And then you can see my little Anastasia Beverley Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Medium Brown in the corner there which is the only product I use for my brows now. I’ve only got two words for it. HOLY. GRAIL.

For my bronzer, I used the NARS Laguna bronzer from my Virtual Domination Palette. I originally thought that this palette would be limited edition palette, but to my surprise, they still have it for sale on the Sephora website. So if your looking to try some NARS products, definitely give this bad boy a try. I think it is well worth the money and I’ve used it pretty much every day since I’ve purchased it.

For a cheekbone highlight, of course I went with my trusty Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki. Amazing highlighter and I think it only cost me under $6 to buy.

And of course I had to moisturize my terribly chapped lips with my Blistex Lip Medex. This is the only lip repair treatment that works on my super chapped lips in the winter; my tried and true.

Lastly, I of course had to wear my brand new MAC blush in Melba which I had purchased just a few days ago. If you want to see a close up of it and a swatch, check out my Itty Bitty MAC Haul post. It was my first time trying it on the cheek today and I am already obsessed. Dare I say that it even trumps my ex-all-time-favourite, The Balm‘s Frat Boy blush? What I love about this blush is that it is matte, and it warms up your cheeks beautifully, while looking super natural. The Frat Boy blush has a bit of a sheen to it, while Melba is completely matte. And if you’ve met me, you’d know I love me my matte make up…

And of course I finished off my eyes with my good ol’ L’oreal Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner, and my Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Mascara.

Hope you guys enjoyed this MOTD post. Think I might do some more of these just because I can give you guys my thoughts on the products that I’m wearing, and not just show you guys it on my face.

Let me know what your favourite everyday make up products are! I’m always looking for new products to add to my collection.

More soon,
