Dance Legend Melange Collection 270 Swatches & Review



Hello readers,
Today I have a new-to-me brand to share with you, Dance Legend.  I snagged a few different shades back when Llarowe closed up shop but somehow I didn't use any of them until now.

Aqua and Gold Wave Nail Art Featuring Born Pretty Store Black Stamping Head


Blue and gold nail stamping

Hello readers,
Today I have a nail art look I did using the Black Stamping Head from Born Pretty Store.  This silicone stamper is the same size as the Moyou London marshmallow stamper, and I used the same holder with this one.  As far as squishiness goes, it is not as squishy as the Moyou marshmallow head but squishier than the large head of a more traditional double ended stamper.  I didn't have do any priming to get it to pick up images.

Left to Right: East (Wu Xing), North (Wu Xing), The Pretties in the World (Visage Extra),
My Lips But ... Better (My Lips But ...) and My Lips But ... Berrier (My Lips But ...).
Hello readers,
Today I have swatches of all the lipsticks from my most recent Hello Waffle Cosmetics order.  There are a couple shades from the My Lips But ... collection, a couple from the Wu Xing collection and one Visage extra.  The lip colour formula from Hello Waffle is very moisturizing and creamy.  I did find that most of these shades left a stain on my lips as well which makes the colour last even longer.  Let's take a look at swatches.

Birchbox Canada February 2016 Unboxing & Review



Hello readers,
Today I have the last ever Canadian Birchbox to share with you.  A couple weeks ago they announced that they were suspending Canadian operations.  I'm pretty disappointed since this is a sub I had liked enough to renew for another.  This month we had a sample choice for which I chose the OCC Black Metal Dahlia lip tar, a shade I have been coveting for a long time.  Let's see what else accompanied it in this month's box.

Hello Waffle Cosmetics Visage February 2016 Swatches & Review



Hello readers,
Today I have my first ever monthly visage subscription from Hello Waffle Cosmetics to share with you.  I made it to the top of the wait list just before Birchbox Canada announced it was shutting down Canadian operations so the timing was perfect.  This month's theme was the novel Bluebeard by Charles Perrault and focused on a bolder look with strong colours.  Let's take a look at what was inside the February installment.
