Decided I’m going to do a segment called Friday’s Favourite Five, where yes you guessed it I tell you lucky friends what my five favourite items where during the week.(wow, I’m so original…haha) Most likely there will not be a specific category of item as I am all over the place, so look to see things like food, drinks, make up, songs…or maybe places who knows!! Now it will be my own personal struggle to not include ice cream every week…because let’s have a serious moment….that is just a LIFE necessity. So without further due, let’s see what I was liking this week shall we.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ($39.99 CAD)
Now if you didn’t grow up with the Harry Potter series…What type of childhood did you have? This has got to be one of the most anticipated books. Me being the HP geek that I am raced over to pre-order it when I heard the news. This weekend the book was launched and I got my hot clammy hands on my copy. I started my wonderful relationship with this book by sitting in the walk-in doctors office for 2 hours head deep into the pages. Needless to say I managed to get some good reading in. In all I am loving the book so far, and the fact that it’s a script makes it so different and unique to the other books. All I can recommend is STAY AWAY FROM SPOILERS!!!!. (Tip: Check your local Wal-Mart or chapters, most stores are currently offering 40% off book cover price)

Sephora’s Liquid long-lasting eyeliner in #13 Fancy Blue ($15 CAD)
This past long weekend in Toronto was VELD Music fest a two day music festival where some of the word’s biggest DJs come to perform. Now these festivals do not fall short of flower bras, gems glued onto the face, beaded bracelets, little clothing for those scandalous ravers and bright fun makeup. I decided to go in on the fun with a nice pop of colour for the eyes with this cobalt blue eyeliner. Here is how I styled it for each day, one as a main focus and the other a simple accent. I also used in on my BF’s sisters makeup for day 2 and she had tons of girls coming up and complimenting it

Tea with lemons slices
I think it is a safe assumption to say that having lemon slices in any type of tea is very underrated. It could be my sick tendencies of wanting to nurse this hella annoying cough away but it is absolutely deeeeliiiissshh. The fresh citrus slices and I nice punch and kick to the flavour of your tea. I tried it in a green tea with honey to sooth my throat, as well as in a black orange pekoe tea cold with honey as sweetener (basically a makeshift iced tea)

AKON
I have always been a fan of Akon ever since back in the days, all of his hits and collabs are always such catchy tunes. It’s been said that Akon is making a come back and releasing 4 albums (now don’t quote me here) in different genres. Well Hypnotized, Stick Around and Heatwave have been stuck in my head and on repeat basically everyday. With the catchy cute lyrics about love, and the tropical beats it gets you dancing around your room like a little girl again. Here are the links to give them a listen for yourself..I highly recommend it!!!

Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid Lipstick in shade “CARINA” ($26 CAD)
Soooo I need more shades of this liquid lipstick in my life. First of all it is not messy when applying it to the lip with the wand. Secondly, what I like most is the formula it’s so creamy and non drying to the lips. Unlike most matte lipsticks or liquid ones where you have flaking or dry lips, this one stays smooth the whole time. Now when it comes to reapplying: I managed to get through eating pasta, drinking wine, and multiple smooches before I realized a bit of separation in the normal areas of the lip (your corners, and middle of the pout where both lips meet). In all it is one of the best liquid lips I have tried and will be eyeing some new shades to add to my collection.
Until next time…xo
