My Fancy Friday Series!

Hello beautiful people :)
I know my posts aren't what they usually are!
They used to be a lot longer and more in-depth!
I apologize that my most recent ones have my short and quick!

I haven't had the time to sit down and write a long post!
Things have been really busy and when I do have some down time, I end up sleeping or staying away from my laptop.
I have one more week of my summer course left and then I will have a lot more time on my hands!

I don't know if you've noticed but I've missed the past couple of Fancy Fridays.
I apologize once again!
So what I am going to do is put Fancy Friday on hold until my summer course is finished!
Since I've started my YouTube channel, I'm going to feature like my top 5 favourites of the week and then do a larger monthly favourites :)

Here, on my blog I am making a promise to all of you beautiful people!
Starting in the next couple of weeks, my old blog posts will be coming back and I will posting more frequently!
I have a lot of posts lined up and I can't wait to share them all with you!

Thank you guys for sticking around!
I love you all!
Let me know in the comments below if you want to see any specific blog posts from me!
I'd love to hear all of your ideas!

Fancy Friday #8

Hello beautiful people :)
I apologize for my lack of posts this week.
I'm still trying to balance out school and work and finding time to blog in between!
But here's my weekly favourites :)
My first one is a Starbucks drink.
I am addicting to Starbucks and it doesn't help that one of my best friends work there.
She introduced me to this drink last week and I'm obsessed with it.
It actually isn't being sold yet, so I'm pretty darn lucky hehe!
It's a blended lemonade with peach syrup.
It tastes like a liquid form of fuzzy peaches!
Unreal right?
It's seriously amazing!
The second thing that I've been loving are bonfires.
I had my first one of the summer on Canada Day with my best friends and we're planning to have another one tonight (if the rain goes away!)
But sitting around a fire and roasting marshmellows are my favourite things to do in the summer.
I love the smell of fire on my clothing!
The one that I hate is getting the smoke into my eyes...it burns!
Onto my beauty favourites! :)
This is Nyx's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk!
I love wearing this!
It's such a beautiful shade of shimmery pink and I love the cream finish!
I pair this up with my bad to the bronze eye shadow and it makes a beautiful rose gold!
I've been wearing this a lot this week on it's own and I'm loving it!
I'm definitely going to get more colours!
My last favourite is a lipstick.
This is Kate Moss' lip stick in the shade 102.
This is a beautiful everyday colour.
I really like the matte look!
But what I would suggest with this one, is to wear lip balm underneath it because it can be a little drying at times!
Other than that, I love this shade and I really like the packaging.

Those are all the products that I've been loving this week :)

Fancy Friday #7

Hello beautiful people :)
I really need to start planning out my blogging schedule around work and school now!
I promise this will be my last late blog post, unless I have a really good reason.
Haha!
So here it is, yesterday's Fancy Friday!
This is Maybelline's Gel Eyeliner in the colour Eggplant.
When I first used this product, I wasn't a fan of it because I didn't like the way it applied.
But I gave it another chance and I found that the more I used it the more I liked it.
You're really able to control how you want it to look.
The Eggplant goes on quite thinly, but it's very easy to build up.
I'm excited to start using more gel eyeliners.
 This is Clinique's Chubby Stick in the shade 04 Mega Melon.
I've had this for months and just never tried it, until this week. 
I love wearing lipstick, my lips feel naked without something on them.
Since, I've been working at Harvey's I can't really wear a bold lip because that would look odd.
So I gave this one a try.
The colour is very subtle and is a tinted lip balm.
It's almost like a nude/maroon shade.
It's a very nice every day lip product and I quite enjoy it!
I got this for free because I had a certain amount of Beauty Insider points at Sephora.
I don't think I would buy this because I'm sure  there are drugstore tinted lip balms that works just as great.
This is my new camera.
It's a Nikon COOLPIX P520.
I use this camera to take 99% of my blog photos and when I'm going out.
But I've been using this camera a lot this week because my brother had his graduation and other events.
I am so happy that I got this camera because I love the quality of the pictures.
It's a great size and has amazing zoom.
This is my first 'fancy' camera and I think this is a great starting camera for those interested in getting something like this.
The price isn't too bad when you compare it to other cameras!
I'm still learning with this camera, but overall it's amazing!


 My last favourite is very cheesy, but a lot has just happened this week.
These people in the pictures above are my best friends.
I cannot begin to describe how much they mean to me!
They all play such an important role in my life.
These 7 beautiful people accept me for who I am.
They don't try to change me and they don't use me.
They're there when I need them and they give me great advice.
They are all completely different from each other, but it makes it even better!
I don't think I would be who I am today if I didn't have them in my life.
I love them to the moon and back and I know I'll still be friends with them in the future.

Well there it is, Fancy Friday has finally arrived!
I hope you enjoyed it!

Fancy Friday #6

Hello beautiful people :)
What a beautiful day it is here in Ontario, I hope you guys are having nice weather!
Happy Summer :)
If you're still in school, I hope that your exams are going well!

This week's favourites ended up being a lot of body and face products.
I guess I'm just loving body products this week!
My first favourite is Victoria's Secret Charm Deep-Softening Body Butter in the scent honeysuckle and jasmine.
I've had this product for about five months or so and I love it.
After a few days of wearing it, I noticed a large difference in my skin.
It does an excellent job of softening it.
I've used about half of the jar.
I like that it isn't very thick and my skin doesn't feel slimy after I apply it.
I use this after I get out of the shower and my skin just absorbs all of the moisture.
On top of that, it smells great!
It's a flowery scent and smells like it could be perfume.
The smell isn't too over powering either.
This is Aveeno's Intense Relief Hand Cream.
I love Aveeno products, I have their cleanser, their moisturizer and this hand cream.
My body responds to these products amazingly.
They are a little pricier than other drug store body products, but they are definitely worth the price.
So, I started my new job at Harvey's and I wear gloves a lot of the time whilst I am garnishing people's burgers.
The gloves really dry my hands out and I can't stand dry hands.
My hands are always moisturized and are very soft.

My dad came home at the beginning of the week with this and I had to try it.
I come home from work and the first thing I do is put this on.
They are instantly soft again and it doesn't feel dry at all.
My favourite thing about this hand cream is that it isn't greasy.
95% of the hand creams that I own or have tried leave me with greasy hands.
But this one doesn't at all!
The cream is absorbed immediately :)
This funky, little brush made an appearance in my haul post that I posted two hauls back.
It is Goody's Tangle FX brush and it works wonders.
My hair is a rat's nest when I come out of the shower and it hurts my head to brush through it.
So since I bought this brush, I've been using this and my L'Oreal Detangle Spray when I come out of the shower.
There is no pain when I brush through my hair.
I'll run this through my hair and I literally don't feel any tugging or pulling.
This is so gentle with my hair and I love it!
The bristles feel sharp when I run my finger along them, but they aren't like that when I brush my hair!
I love this little guy!
My last product favourite is Rimmel London's Wake Me Up concealer.
Before this I was using a concealer from E.L.F and I wasn't impressed.
I bought this to replace my other one and I love it.
 It provides excellent coverage and brightens underneath my eye!
I have the shade light/medium and it blends in very nicely!
If you guys are looking for a great drug store concealer I recommend this one!
My last favourite is a video.
So, let me get this out of the way...I love One Direction :)
They did a Skype Scavenger Hunt with Jimmy Kimmel.
This is honestly hilarious and my stomach hurts every time I watch this!
They are so funny and good looking ;)
This is definitely worth watching, I guarantee you will laugh and you will laugh harder if you love One Direction! :)

 That's it for this week :)
Let me know if you've tried any of these products or if you recommend any products that I should try!

Fancy Friday #5

Hello beautiful people :)
It's time for another Fancy Friday!
I apologize, I didn't include a lot of products this week.
I don't have a lot of time to write today's post, so I wanted to keep the products small.
My first favourite is a hair product.
I love using hair products and I love trying new ones. 
This one is L'Oreal's Total Repair. 
It replenishes and detangles hair.
It has a weightless leave-in.
This product repairs and strengthens hair to its' silky touch. 

Everything that this product says that it's supposed to do, I agree.
This product is amazing.
It's the first detangle spray that I've used in a while, but I don't think I need to switch products.
I love this one.  
I'm not fighting with my hair to get all the knots out after I shower.
I spray my hair with this and brushing is so much easier. 
There's also a massive difference in how soft my hair is.
Sometimes, my ends look really dry, but I haven't had that problem since I started using this.

It has a nice fruity smell and it feels like I'm just spraying water in my hair.
It doesn't feel like I'm putting product in my hair.
It's very light and my hair just soaks it up.
I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a detangle and replenishing spray.
The next product is a make-up favourite.
It's Stila stay all day liquid eyeliner.
I use this product so much, the label on here has rubbed off.
I've had this product for a while and it is the best eyeliner that I've tried.
Other eyeliners that I've used have smudged or i don't like the way that they apply.
This one doesn't smudge at all and it goes on very smoothly. 
As you can see, it has a very fine point which is great to apply thin and smooth lines.
I really like to do wing eyeliner because it's so easy to use.
The other day I rubbed my eye, forgetting that I was wearing makeup and my eyeliner didn't move.
I'm definitely going to be sticking to this eyeliner, I find it's worth the price.
I bought this at Sephora for $23, I believe.
My last favourite is another Iphone App,
It's called Wunderlist.
It's an app that allows you to make to-do lists.
I am a very organized person and i live on to-do lists.
I use this app every day and my lists are organized by personal, work and blog.
Then, I have lists of music that I need to download or movies that I have to watch.
I really like this app and it's free :)
So if you're an organized person like me and you're looking for a great to-do list app, this is it!

This is all for now :)
