Organic Makeup: A Review


Let me start off by saying I normally don't wear much makeup. I usually only use mascara and I'll fill in my brows with a pencil and some powder. So, you won't see me in anything more than a tinted moisturizer. One that I found that works great is Organic Wear by Physician's Formula and for some added sparkle, their Powder Palette is perfect - especially in conjunction with a soft, fluffy brush.

Eco Tools Buffing Brush
This brush is super soft to the touch. I love the slightly tapered bamboo handle as well. I found that with this brush I don't have to use as much powder as I normally would with a bigger, powder brush. I'm also able to get more control from this brush, which makes blending easier and faster.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Tinted Moisturizer
I have fair skin and went with their "fair to light" shade. It has a nice, light scent as well. At first, it felt a little tacky but once it settles out it is soft to the touch. I love the coverage that it gives, while still maintaining a nice dewy look. I also love that it doesn't add any unnatural colour(s) to my face, which I was beginning to notice with my previous one.

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls
Not wanting to add any bronze to my look, I went with the translucent version of this powder. It is in a compact and comes with a brush and a mirror. However, the brush isn't soft to the touch. This powder is loaded with a natural, pearlescent look. I found that I have to lightly swipe the brush over the powder with a light hand, because it will be a little too overwhelming when applied to the face. I love it.

*Please note I was not given anything for this review. I purchased all items myself. I just really like them.

Through the Lens: DandO

The other day I took some photos of Olive & I. I love the way they turned out and I want to frame each one.

My Must Watch Halloween Films


Halloween is a little over two weeks away now. Jack-o-lanterns are being carved, spiderwebs are being hung with care and your awesome costume is, most likely, all ready to go. But in my opinion, no Halloween is complete if there isn’t an awesome Halloween movie thrown into the mix. Watching some of my favorite Halloween films always makes this holiday a little more fun (and yes, I make sure I celebrate the WHOLE month). I typically go for movies that are from the nineties (can you say relieving my childhood?) and the funnier, the better. Is it just me, or does Mortica & Gomez have the most perfect marriage? Talk about relationship goals...

These films are sure to get you in the Halloween spirit:
  • Hocus Pocus
  • Bettlejuice
  • The Addams Family
  • Evil Dead
  • Young Frankenstein
  • The Hunger
  • Shaun of the Dead
  •  The Craft

What are some of your favourite movies to watch during Halloween?
