Soooooo…. This beauty blogging world that I’ve surrounded myself with over the last two years… it’s absolutely filled with talented bloggers who are unbelievable enablers. We’re all friends, so this entire post is said with love, but goddamn it you jerks, you make me spend money because everything looks so freaking good on you! *shakes fist*
Here’s a roundup of recent products that some of my blogging buddies have forced my hand into buying!
- Product: Guerlain Météorites – Flocons Enchantés
- Culprit: Steph of Fun Size Beauty
- Blog Post That Did Me In: EVENT: Guerlain Neiges et Merveilles with International Makeup Artist Maxime Poulin // Holiday 2015
- My Reasons: As if I was going to say no to little stars mixed amongst a shimmering face powder. When I saw Steph’s post on these special edition meteorites, I became absolutely obsessed with them. Even the $89 CAD price tag wasn’t going to keep me from buying them! I lucked in to getting them from The Bay since I already had a $50 gift certificate. Phew!
- Product: Clinique Cheek Pop in Cola Pop
- Culprit: Jen of Vibrant, Vivacious, Veracious Beauty Blog
- Blog Post That Did Me In: Currently Obsessed: Clinique Cheek Pops in Cola Pop and Heather Pop
- My Reasons: I actually get a little bit scared when I go to Jen’s blog… she has a way of putting colours together that make me want EVERYTHING she’s thrown on her face. A while back I saw her apply Clinique’s Cola Pop to her cheeks and I was blown away by just how wearable it is given how ridiculous the pan colour looks. This has quickly become one of my favourite blushes in my collction!
- Product: Colour Pop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks
- Culprit: Kaitlyn of Kaitlyn Elizabeth Beauty
- Blog Post That Did Me In: New In: ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Lips
- My Reasons: I held off on ordering the Colour Pop Ultra Mattes when they were released but Kaitlyn was on that train so fast that it made my head spin. She not only got her order quickly but also got lip shots up within what… a day? Maybe two? Regardless, it was LIGHTNING fast. I ended up referring to her post a lot to help me decide between some shades that seemed very similar. I ended up getting Tulle and Trap based on her lip shots (*love* those colours) and although the formula isn’t quite what I love in a matte lip, I still got some awesome colours thanks to her post!
- Product: Colour Pop Super Shock Shadow in Coconut
- Culprit: Julie of Swatch and Review
- Blog Post That Did Me In: Colourpop Super Shock Shadow Coconut review
- My Reasons: Julie was wearing this when we went to the Charlotte Tilbury launch at Holt Renfrew, and it freaking BLEW ME AWAY. The colour and pigmentation were second to none… the colour just SCREAMED from her eyelids and I placed it in my next Colour Pop order immediately. Of course, like most new products, this has fallen to the back of my single eyeshadow drawer… but since I had to photograph it for this post it’s back into the front row again! I’m still not the biggest fan of the super shock formula (it’s just not brush friendly), but there’s no denying that colour!
- Product: NARS Matte Multiple in Siam
- Culprit: Oh hey look… JEN AGAIN
- Blog Post That Did Me In: Vibrant Blush Week #1: NARS Matte Multiple in Siam
- My Reasons: I’m not TOTALLY positive that was the right post that got me hooked on Siam, but I know for sure it was Jen that pushed me over the edge on this one. I ended up getting it for a discounted price from a Winners near Montreal. It’s such a gorgeous vibrant red-orange shade that I just could not resist it. (And Jen makes everything look amazing!)
- Product: Marcelle Liquid Dip-Pen Eyeliner
- Culprit: Sarah of Workaday Beauty
- Blog Post That Did Me In: Review: Marcelle Waterproof Liquid DIP-PEN Eyeliner 10H+
- My Reasons: Sarah knew I was after a liquid eyeliner that was actually matte (and not glossy like most of them are), so she was excited to tell me about the Dip-Pens she’d discovered by Marcelle. And they’re waterproof to boot! In the end, the formula IS amazing, but I’m not in love with the brush which is a damn shame. But for those of you looking for a matte black, waterproof liner from the drugstore in Canada – you may want to look into this one!
That’s it for this roundup of people who make me spend my money! I may turn this into series every few months since I don’t doubt there’ll be even more enabling going on as time passes! I’d love to hear about who has made you buy what products and why!
I love this post! And those are still my fav liquid eyeliners. I’m still pushing them on everyone!

It was a fun post to put together! And I’m sure I’ve left out tons of people, I just couldn’t think of anymore products off the top of my head!
I’m eventually going to try dipping another brush into the Dip-Pen and see how that goes!
Oh my gosh that Colour Pop Super Shock Shadow 😍😍

Isn’t it amazing? I don’t think I have any other shadows in that shade that can get that kind of POW on the lids!
Thanks for the shout-outs! I will totally own up to both Cola Pop and Siam and don’t regret a thing- they’re both amazing (and look awesome on you)! 🙂
Jen recently posted…Look of the Day: Berries and Champagne
I think I had more enabling products from you, but I had to cut you down a bit otherwise the whole post would be “THIS IS ALL JEN’S FAULT” lol
Glad you spread the blame around 😉

Have you tried NYC liquid liner? I swear by it and it’s the reason why I have my eye liner on point. Mind you I hated it when I first try it because the formula was so damn wet but now that I’m used to it, it’s one of the best liquid liner I’ve ever used.
I still want to get my hands on Nars Multiple, maybe I should stalk Winners eh?

Winners has turned up some amazing NARS deals. But if you’re in a high traffic area they tend to get snatched up pretty fast.
I have not tried the NYC liquid liner… is it perfectly matte? My ideal liner is the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner… but matte. I just wish I could find it!
I live in Comox Valley where it’s majority retirement folks so our Winners here is usually empty. Haha! Yes, NYC liquid liner dries down matte and it last all freaking day too. You need to try it, it’s so freaking cheap too.

AMAZING! Okay, I’ll have to give that one a shot for sure. Does it have a particular name? Or do they only have one liquid liner?

This one! I hope you like it as much as I do….I should do a review on it, I guess but it’s an old product and I’m not sure if others want to read it…
Shireen L. Platt recently posted…REVIEW: TelomErase Serum, Triple Telomere Targeting 6-in-1 Multi-Corrective
Thank you! I would love to see a review on it. Especially since you love it so much! I know as bloggers we focus so much on new products, but there are some gems out there that we never discuss because we figure everyone’s seen them before, but that’s not always the case!
I’ve heard so many great reviews of colourpop! As well, that first face powder is absolutely adorable. However, I can gladly say that the price tag will keep me away! (hooray for broke student life!)
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Yeah the price tag on the Guerlain is astronomical.
ColourPop is a fairly awesome brand. Their cheap prices are fantastic and their colours are amazing!
Hahaha I love this post – I think Steph’s post almost made me pull the trigger on the Guerlain too, but thankfully I can’t stand the scent.

The scent is awwwful. I really, really do not like it. It’s not obvious on the skin, but I just wish it smelled nice when I open it, you know?
Yup, I hear ya. For something so luxe it’d be better if they didn’t put any scent in.
