NYC Challenge: Fresh Winter Look

November 29, 2014

Today I’m bringing you my November NYC Beauty Pro challenge! Better late than never right? 😉 And how appropriate of the “Ice Skating at Rockfeller Center” theme with the snowfall we had last night.

For this theme, I wanted to create a natural flushed look appropriate for the chilly weather.

Look at the snowfall! It’s quite impressive for Vancouver

I was really excited by the package this month because we got some products that are new to me! The details of the items in the picture are:
Show Time Volume Waterproof Mascara $3.99
-Black
Cheek Glow Blushes $4.99
-652West Side wine
Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms $3.49
-353 Pink Lady
-354 Apple Blossom

Swatches: Pink Lady, Apple Blossom, West Side Wine
The lip balms have a cute apple design in the center and smells really fruity. Don’t expect too much color pay off but it’s perfect for younger girls to swipe something on their lips or even for makeup junkies having a natural day.

For this look I swiped a beige color eyeshadow all over the lid and applied the NYC Show Time Mascara. I dusted a bit of powder all over just to even out my skin and then applied NYC Cheek Glow Blush in West Side Wine. Although in the swatch, it was pretty pale, on my cheeks it’s a nice healthy flush of color. Lastly I finished it off with the NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm in Apple Blossom.
The whole process definitely took less than 5 minutes and would be a great daily routine for the winter time!
And a silly picture with my red mittens! Sorry NYC, got to add some Canadian pride 😉
Hope you enjoyed this easy look! Have you tried any of these NYC products? What’s your go to winter look?

🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @t 🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @tatcha! Inspired by the changing fall colors of the Japanese maple, this beautiful kissu lip mask now has a berry red tint. I love the moisturizing squalane and Japanese peach extracts. My dry lips have never felt so hydrated and soft. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for a smooth and plump lip with a hint of color. 

🍮 The packaging is also stunning with the maple motifs on the lid that makes this display worthy in any bathroom or vanity!

It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two weeks with a newborn have been full of challenges and adjustments. But it's nice to take a break and go through some of my beauty products as a break 🤭.

Here are my top three face creams for the changing weather especially if you have dry skin!

Swatched from left to right: clarins, drunk elephant, aestura 

👌  moisturizing face creams for dry skin

Clarins Extra Firming: I love the day and night version of this cream. The night is even more heavy duty and creamy so sometimes I use the day version only 💫

It's got a beautiful scent and amazing collagen technology to plump the skin!

Aestura Atobarrier Lotion: this is a newer korean brand thats available now at Sephora. Part of the amorepacific family, so you know it'll be good!

The packaging is very simple and unassuming but I love how this soothes the skin! Its quite lightweight in texture but I used this when I was sick and it saved my nose after blowing into tissue a gazillion times a day! 🩵

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier: im always a big fan of drunk elephant. This one is my favorite face cream from the brand. I love the pump packaging and this is perfect if you want hydration and barrier support!
