I’m loving some of the colours in the OPI Scotland collection which was new for the fall season. 
You’ve Got That Glas-Glow is a perfect neutral mauve and I’m really reaching for this a lot.
Here’s Edinburgh-er & Tatties which is a warm peach.
Available in salons now and The Bay. $13.
I love seeing myself illustrated. What an honor to have met this bunch.

I’m not much into holiday collections anymore because I feel like there is so much out there, but I did enjoy this one because of the packaging. And I think that bringing out a collection of best-sellers is awesome. 
This year, MAC is rolling out its holiday collection little by little. There are so many great things to look forward to! One is that the palettes that sell out likethat every fall, are now in beautiful metallic cases. Another thing is that some of the products that MAC will be releasing are best-sellers from previous years! I’ve already had a look at one of those, and there are three pretty golden-pink products from a summer collection: a blush, a lipgloss, and a lipstick.

Dry shampoo foam is a thing now, people, and I first saw it from the Ouai, but then I got this OGX Green Tea Fitness Dry Shampoo Foam, so I thought I would try it… but on video. And then I ran into a little hurdle and kept the camera running, because I thought that the pump would start running any minute.

I did manage to get a good amount of foam out, enough to put through my roots and get them un-greased, but I never really got the pump working again, so I had to throw out the bottle. Oh well.
Available at drugstores and mass merchandisers.
$7.99.
The shampoo is sulfate-free and the conditioner is silicone-free, and honestly, if I didn’t see the writing on the package, I wouldn’t have known.
The Maui Moisture is line of haircare products available at the drugstore. This was the first time I had tried their shampoo and conditioner, and I am pleasantly surprised. The shampoo doesn’t have sulfates, but still foams and lathers and really cleans! The conditioner, is slippery and heavy enough to detangle your hair, but this one didn’t weigh it down.
They are also paraben free and vegan!
$9.97 each at drugstores and mass merchandisers.
Look at how amazing my lashes look with the Revlon So Fierce Mascara. I apply it in this video, and then tell you how I liked it. I really wanted to like it, but…

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, @makeupforeverca Ultra HD foundation is now available in even more colours. They just added 15 more colours to their range and so if you were mixing to get your colour, chances are that you don’t have to do that anymore. This foundation is available in 50 colours!
I gotta say it: although I keep trying tons of different foundations, and have two on the go right now, Make Up For Ever HD Foundation is my holy grail foundation because it has a colour that matches my skin perfectly. It’s yellow, but not too yellow, and has just the right amount of warmth for my skin tone.
The consistency of this foundation is light and not thick. You can build up to medium-full coverage, but this foundation just doesn’t layer to be full coverage. I don’t like full coverage and don’t usually need it, so I’m thinking that they want you to turn to a concealer for the parts that need more coverage.
On the plus side, it’s extremely light and does look truly like skin. I forget I’m wearing foundation (although my skin looks great) and it sets to a satin matte finish that looks very natural. It’s not long-wearing and oily parts need to be primed, set well or will need another application of foundation. The foundation goes on so smoothly and has just the right amount of slip to glide on to skin. It is oil-free but not oil-absorbing so works well with a primer. I use my finger-tips to apply because it’s so fluid. I pat on to my face, and then quickly blend all over, focussing on the centre of my face.
People with normal or dry skin will really like this foundation because it won’t move throughout the day, but if you have oily skin, you may find it doesn’t last that long. It doesn’t have SPF and of course, because it’s Ultra HD it photographs beautifully!
I’m using this daily – but if I have an evening event, I reapply or even wash my face and do it all over again.
All said and done, because the colour is so great, I love love love this foundation. I even think that every person of colour should try to find a match with this foundation and try it against what they normally wear. It’s that good and you may find that you’ve been wearing the wrong colour all along!
$57 at Sephora or The Bay. There is also a stick version of this foundation (in fewer colours) that also works very well – it’s emollient and spreads evenly on the face and is more pigmented so gives more coverage.
Did you guys know that Diptyque’s L’Ombre Dans L’Eau is the perfume version of the popular candle Bais? I just found that out. Turns out that I own L’Ombre Dans L’Eau and I’ve gone back to wearing it.
Diptyque’s L’Ombre Dans L’Eau which smells more like rose leaves than actual roses. The scent is intensely green and almost astringent at the opening. The rose notes pervade and smell fresh and lovely. Diptyque’s website describes it as “The rustling of petals and the leaves of bushes heavy with fruit in an English garden,” and I get the English-ness of this scent. It’s so cool and herby that it reminds you of a rainy day, which occurs so often in England.
Available at Holt Renfrew in 50 and 100ml bottles.
$135 for 50ml.
I absolutely love skinny brow pencils because they make it super quick to fill in my brows. I use one every single day, and right now I’m using Revlon’s Colorstay Brow Creator. 
Spooly brush on one end, long-wearing pencil on the other end, and then it twists open and there’s brow powder on a foam applicator on the other.
Oh, and because it’s from the Colorstay line it lasts all day on your brows. Really, it’s everything you need.
Available in drugstores now. $12.97.
