30 Day Lipstick Challenge: Summer Edition

                                           Check out my latest YouTube video!

It's time to take on a beauty challenge!

The 30 Day Lipstick challenge is exactly what it sounds like- 30 days, 30 different lipstick shades. Every day is something different, and it gives you a good excuse to play around with shades you wouldn't normally reach for.

Do you normally rock a red lip? Try changing your makeup look with a more dramatic eye and a matte nude lip. Are you obsessed with pink lipsticks? Try a brighter or bolder version, like a fuchsia or hot pink. And if you're anything like me, who lives and dies by nude lippies, try a bright purple or even a coral!

You can learn so much about your makeup likes and dislikes by taking on this challenge. You may just surprise yourself and find a new favourite combination.

And if you have a lot of lipsticks, you might be able to decrease your collection by tossing (or giving away/selling) lippies you find don't work for you.

For a complete list of the 30 lipsticks I'm going to be rocking for the month of July, check out my YouTube video!

Oh no! I went to the drugstore!

Hello friends!

I apologize for neglecting my blog.
I have been trying to update my YouTube channel more frequently (I think I'm due for a new video sometime this week), and in the process I haven't put the time into this blog that I should.

I have abandoned my previous Project Pan because it was a tad too ambitious. I am now working on completing a 10 product Project Pan.

I've been trying to do a low-buy, and I think I have been suceeding.

However, I went to the drugstore today and bought a few products. All on sale. The total of which, for 5 products, was around $15 Canadian dollars. I'm pretty impressed!

My sister is coming to town next week, and we're hitting Sephora, MAC, and Lush. We only see each other about once a year, so when she comes to town we SHOP. And it's a lot of fun. So I am not going to restrict myself there.

Then, a week later, I am hitting the States! 4 of them, to be exact. And I cannot wait to go to the American drugstores and places like Ulta (I've never ever been!). So no restricting there either.

But when I get back home, I am fully committing myself to a "No-Buy July" which I will talk more about on my channel.

Okay-- enough of the boring stuff.

Project Pan- Foundations!

Hello everyone!

I’m back again with Project Pan- Foundation edition.

I’ve been trying to choose a mixture of high-end and drugstore products to use and talk about. I’ll probably select a few items to do reviews on- so if there’s any specific item you’d like to hear my thoughts on, please leave a comment.

My lucky 7 foundations are:

Dior Skin Nude in 010 Ivory

A brief intro + Project Pan (Lip Product edition)!

Hello everyone! This is the Beauty Blog for YouTube user ShadowSmoked (aka Elle S). 

Suggestions are very much welcome for what you’d like to see here. Leave a comment with any ideas, comments, and/or criticism. 

I’m going to start this blog with something that’s been on my to-do list for a while- Project Pan.

Although I’m doing my PP a little differently. I’m starting off first with only lip products. I must finish all of my chosen 7 before I’m allowed to purchase anymore lip products (and even then, I might try to do a second round). 

My lucky 7 are:
