Todays Face #3

I havent done one of these in a while, so I thought Id show you what I wore to work. A very simple look for everyday. I'm trying to finish off my Korres Vitamin E Primer, so I prepped my skin with that. Its an okay primer but definitely not a favourite. I used a fuller coverage on the skin than usual- a mix of Nars Sheer Glow and Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. I find the Tarte one to be a bit drying and clings to areas of my face, so with the Nars mixed in it gives a perfect balance of glow and coverage. I used my favourite Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer under the eyes and set it with Rimmels Stay Matte Powder. 

I've been venturing into the world of bronzing and contouring lately and The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 01 has been my go-to. I use the RealTechniques Sculpting Brush to apply it and try to enhance my cheek bones a little bit. This colour isn't too bad for my skintone but I'm sure there's a better option out there. I then applied a little of The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer to my cheek bones, down my nose and under the brows to give a nice glow to the skin. 

To keep my wild brows in place and slightly fill them in, I used the Rimmel Brow This Way tinted brow mascara. I bought this after using the Maybelline one for a while and having trouble with the odd shaped brush. While this one picks up a lot of product that I need to scrape off, I must say it works a lot better for me. On the eyes I just used a little bit of Mac Naked Lunch all over the lid, and Omega through the crease. This was just enough to enhance my eyes. A little bit of Revlon Grow Lucious Plumping mascara and the eyes were done.

Finishing touches of Mac Blush All Day, a gorgeous pinky mauve shade, on the cheeks and Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 03 on the lips. I havent worn this lipstick in a while but it's a great nude shade for fall. It leads a bit on the brown side so it's perfect for paler skin tones. Love.

Colab Sheer Invisible Dry Shampoo

I was super excited when I saw this available here in Canada. Youtuber, model and blogger Ruth Crilly is the name behind the brand and another reason why I wanted to try it. I've been a Batiste fan for years and its the only ones that ever worked for my hair, so I was interested to see if this one made the cut. The range has five scents and an original Sheer Invisible and Extra Volume option available. I went for the original formula in Rio, a tropical fragrance. I've found them in drugstores and even in Winners if you want to save a few pennies.

One of the great things about this dry shampoo is that its pretty much invisible in the hair. You cant see it, you cant feel it. Nothing. Theres nothing more annoying then spraying your roots and having that horrible white powder that you cant get rid of. Not a problem here. I leave my dry shampoo in for about two minutes to soak up the oils, and then brush it through. I was quite impressed with Colab, as my hair had some oomph aswell as a clean, fresh look. I found this did enough for me on the volume front, so I'm not sure if ill be a user of the Extra Volume. I always found the volume options to leave an awful residue in my hair and I cant stand that, so if you've tried the Colab one let me know how it is.

The verdict? I'd very happily use Colab again. I love the results it gave and have even used this in clean hair just to give extra body when my hair has fallen throughout the day. This would be a great dry shampoo for all hair colours as it literally is invisible. In comparison to Batiste, I'm still not sure which I prefer, but they are both awesome in my eyes. Definitely will be repurchasing and trying the different scents.

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil

After hearing and reading rave reviews of Body Shop's Camomile Cleansing Oil I had to give it a try. This is the first cleansing oil I've tried, so I don't have a anything to compare this to, however I did use the balm version previous to this and may do a post comparing the two in the future.

The product comes in an easy to use pump, and does not require a lot to remove even tough mascara or eyeliner. I found one to two pumps enough for my eyes and face, sometimes a third if I went overboard on the mascara that day. I gently rub into my lashes and remove with a warm wash cloth. While I found it still felt like mascara was on my lashes, after wiping away with the cloth, everything was removed. Its an easy to use product, with a light barely there scent, and most importantly didnt irritate my skin or eyes. I follow up with my usual cleasner to remove any leftover residue and get a good cleanse, but if I was really lazy and wanted to leave it at just this, I don't find that it leaves my skin oily after washing away.

At $16, this is a affordable cleansing oil that is also easily found for most people. I am not someone who likes to spend a lot on something that is used just for makeup removal, so I found this to be a decent price. With the several sales they have, its easy to get it cheaper or as a free product in their buy one get one deals. I am a fan and can see myself purchasing this again when its all gone.

Are you a fan of the cleansing oil? Have you tried this one? Leave my your thoughts, or product recommendations below!
