GlamGlow Plumprageous Nudes Collection Review + Swatches
If you're into full, plump lips, a la Kylie Jenner lips, then you've probably already tried a bunch of the lip plumping products out there or you might even have lip injections. Whatever the case, you'll be excited to know that GlamGlow has expanded their iconic Plumprageous lip treatment to a new range of glosses called the Nudes Collection. It features 10 colours from light nude to dark brown nude that suit an array of skin tones and comes in three finishes - gloss, matte and metallic. To promote the launch, GlamGlow sent me the entire Nudes Collection to try. Keep reading for my review on swatches and to find out if these glosses really give you that Kylie effect.
GLAMGLOW Plumprageous Nudes Collection
The Plumprageous Nudes Collection comes in a range of ten colours suitable for a variety of skin tones and is available in three finishes - Matte, Glossy and Metallic. These are all formulated with the same Triple Plumping Complex and yet I find that the glosses vary in plumping/ tingling intensity from one formula to the next. The Metallic and Gloss Tints have the most tingle/ plumping effect and colour pay off. They give the lips an instant tingle as the plumping formula begins to work. In terms of how it feels on the lips; I find that GlamGlow's Plumprageous is more on the cooling side as opposed to that burning sensation that I've gotten from other lip plumping glosses (like Too Faced Extreme Lip Injection). And even though it's a cooling formula, it's still a very noticeable and strong tingling sensation so if you're sensitive, these might be too intense for you so give them a try at the store first and see how you react. BTW - if you get this formula on your tongue, it will tingle.
Like I mentioned, I find the Metallic and Gloss Tints to have the most plumping effect and colour pay off. Just look at the swatches below and you'll see what I mean. I have the Gloss Tints on the left, Matte Tints in the middle and Metallic Tints on the right. You can see right away that the formula on the Matte Tints appear almost sheer, and this is after layering the colour a few times to build up the colour! You'll also notice the Matte Tints aren't exactly matte either and I found that the formula dries to more of a demi-matte finish. The swatch you see below is after letting it sit for 3-5 mins and I'm wonder if perhaps the reason it didn't dry is because I had so much product layered overtop. With that being said, the matte shades are so sheer that it's best to use a lip pencil underneath to get that full colour pay off because these shades really are beautiful. Finally I noticed that these don't seem to tingle or plump as much as the Metallic and Gloss formulas. I wonder if the plump effect was reduced because I had lip liner underneath so the product wasn't in full contact with my lips, but then again even when wore it on my lips my itself, I found it didn't tingle/ plump as much. Regardless the Matte formula does feel very comfortable on the lips. I don't even mind that it's demi-matte but I just wish the colour pay off was more intense.
GLAMGLOW PLUMPRAGEOUS Gloss Tint (left), Matte Tint (centre) and Metallic Tint (right).
Finally, these Plumprageous glosses don't open in the traditional manner and feature a twist top wand that's actually very sleek and modern looking. The wand applicator features a flat silicone wand head, which for me isn't the easiest to apply the gloss onto the lips. I have a tough time staying within the lines and drawing a smooth line with this flat silicone applicator head so I need a) more practice and b) a lip liner to help me colour in the lines. I always overdraw my lips anyway so really, I don't mind.
PRICE: Each tube is $30 CND.
PACKAGING:
- Sleek chrome lip gloss tube.
- Twist off applicator.
- Applicator wand features a flat rubber head.
WHAT'S IN IT:
- Triple Plumping Complex (I couldn't find what this means in terms of ingredients on either the GlamGlow or Sephora sites.)
- Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Cupuacu and Murumuru Butters.
THE VERDICT:
As far as lip plumping glosses go, I find the GlamGlow Plumprageous Nudes Collection has a very comfortable to wear formula. The tingling sensation from these is nice and cooling and continues until the gloss comes off. (As a comparison, I find Too Faced Extreme Lip Injection to have a burning effect for about 20 mins and then it eventually fades and you can't feel it anymore.) The Plumprageous glosses have an array of nude shades that are super flattering. I'm not a big fan of nudes and even I found a few shades that I love - A List, Screen Kiss, Triple-X, Stacked, Body Double and Suggestive. In terms of wether or not it actually does a good job on plumping the lips: yes and no. Yes, it smoothes out fine lines on the lips and it does appear to make them look plumper but no, it's not gonna give you Kylie Jenner lips. I would recommend over lining your lips to get the best results from Plumprageous.

My Milk Makeup Sephora Haul + Review!
Milk Makeup is trending crazy hard these days. For us in Canada who don't have the much sought after Glossier line, we're gonna happily settle on Milk, the latest minimal makeup brand to come out of New York. While Glossier is more focused on the no-makeup makeup look and, dewy, radiant skin, I feel like Milk is all about looking like a holographic alien creature. Seriously. Just have a peak on their YouTube channel and you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, I went on a little shopping spree and picked up some items that peaked my curiosity. A cooling water stick that looks like deodorant and soothes tired yes? Yes please! A face gloss that makes you look super glam and editorial? Gimme! And how about that Holographic highlight that everyone is talking about? Yes, yes, yes!
Keep reading if you want to know what I think of Milk Makeup. Heads up, I did my homework for you guys and used these products for about a month before reviewing them for you here. You're welcome! ;)
MY MILK MAKEUP HAUL
I picked up four items from the New York based makeup line - one skincare and three makeup items for a total of $111, all purchased at Sephora with my own hard owned money. #NotSpon With tax (HST in Ontario), that comes to a final price of $125.43. Damn!
I felt compelled to pick this up after trying it in store at Sephora. It just felt so good when I swatched it on the back of my hand, like cold liquid water gliding over the surface of my skin. I wanted to see what it would do for my tired eyes in the morning and if Milk Makeup could would actually succeed as a skincare and makeup brand alike. I've been using it for about a month now and honestly, it's one of my favourite things to do in my morning skincare routine.
Price: $29
What's in it: Caffeine and marine minerals.
The verdict: It's soothing and feels incredible! It's a gel stick that feels like you're gliding cool water over your tired eyes and I seriously love how it feels. Honestly, I use it every morning and run it under my eyes a few times to de-puff and hydrate. I hear caffeine is supposed to get rid of dark under eye circles as well, but maybe I just need more sleep because it doesn't seem to be helping me in that department. (Then again the product description doesn't claim to.)
Cons: Honestly, it's pricey. Garnier makes a similar product for literally a third of the cost (here).
Would I buy it again? Probably, but this stick has a whole lot of product so I have a feeling it'll last me a long time.
The product that turned me on to Milk Makeup was their Eye Vinyl. I typed the words “eye gloss” into the Sephora search bar and this was one of the items that came up. After carefully reading the description of Kevin Aucion and Surratt Beauty's “glossy” eye products (more like shimmer from what I could tell), I decided Milk's Eye Vinyl was the way to go. I was looking for a product to give me an editorial glossy eye with minimal creasing and high shine. BTW these vinyls come in four shades and I bought mine in the colour Bridge, which is a super sheer nude shade.
Price: $24
What's in it: Natural oils and rice bran wax.
The verdict: It’s exactly what I was looking for! Super high-shine, editorial, glossy eyes! It's so much better than using lipgloss on my eyelids since this stuff is made safe for the use on eyes. The consistency of this product is thicker than their Face Gloss (below), therefore, it doesn't crease nearly as much.
Cons: Best used on it's own without shadow or liner. Creasing is to be expected when used with an eyeshadow. Smudging is to be expected when using eyeliner. To minimize creasing when used with other eye makeup, dab a little dot of gloss on the centre of your eyelids.
Would I buy it again? Yes! It’s my new favourite thing to add to my no-makeup-makeup look and it looks so fresh!
Being inspired by the whole glossy eye lid thing, I decided to take my look a step further and add gloss to my entire face. That’s right. I’m intentionally choosing to look shiny for the sake of having interesting makeup. Now in case your wondering if you can use this as an eye gloss, sure go for it, but I will tell you now that the Face Gloss is thinner in texture therefore it will run and crease on the eyes. The Eye Vinyl is made for eyes, therefore the formula is thicker to with stand that part of your face. Of course everyone’s skin is different and what works for me, might not work for you.
Price: $24
What's in it: According to the Sephora site, this is a vitamin rich formula. What vitamins you ask, it doesn’t say.
The verdict: Not exactly what I expected. Don’t get me wrong, this product is great! The problem is my skin, which to my dismay, is lightly textured. Adding a gloss to my cheekbones only amplifies my skin texture, therefore aging me. Wah! This product is best left for those lucky folks with a smooth complexion.
Cons: Not for textured skin. Beware, it will amplify the slightest skin texture.
Would I buy it again? No. I might return this one.
I feel like everyone right now is talking about 1) The Milk Makeup Blur Stick or, 2) The Milk Makeup Holographic Stick (pictured left). I couldn’t NOT pick up this up especially since I’m so obsessed with highlights right now and this one is supposed to be holographic!! OHEMGEEEEEE.
Price: $34
What's in it: Mango butter, peach nectar, and avocado oil for hydration.
The verdict: I read a few reviews on the Sephora site that this product isn’t the best for warm skin tones. I find it deposits a cool-lavender colour, but honestly, I love the contrast against my olive-y skin. Sadly though, it doesn't have that cool holographic effect like the name and packaging suggest.
Cons: It’s not exactly holographic as the name states, but more of a cool-based, lavender-toned highlight. When it comes to lavender highlights, I like the purple-ish one from Kat Von D’s Alchemist palette and Becca’s Amethyst highlight so much more. Milk’s Holographic Stick also doesn’t last long, which is disappointing considering all of the hype and the hefty price point. I don’t know if it’s because of the gel formula that it fades throughout the day, even when I use a setting spray in hopes of locking it into place. I haven’t tried it on top of full coverage makeup but I’ve seen a few YouTube videos (this one in particular from Jeffree Star) where it appears to actually take off foundation when applied over top of a full face of makeup. With that said, this product is best used on bare skin or, on top of light foundation. Regardless there are plenty of good reviews for this product out there. I suggest you try it if you're still intruiged and judge for yourself.
Would I buy it agin? No.

Style Inspo: Alison Mosshart
Alison Mosshart's style screams "I don't give two f*cks", which is what I love about her. She is a legit rockstar (unlike musically challenged me), and fronts the Kills and The Dead Weather. Imagine if Kate Moss and Mick Jagger had a style baby; that's Alison Mosshart. I love how she layers; how she mixes and matches patterns constantly and how she makes all of her own rules in the fashion game. In my eyes she is the quintessential queen of cool and she inspired me to look my own closet and pair things in an unexpected way. The look I ended up with is a bolder version of myself, but still never much me.
So, I want to know what you think of Alison's style - are you as obsessed as I am?
Leave me a comment below and let me know who your style icons are and how they challenge you to step outside of the norm. Mine are Kate Moss, Harry Styles, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Emmanuelle Alt and of course Alison. Can you see how their style infuluences my own? ;)

Do I look like Gigi Hadid yet? Trying the shredded denim trend.
Spotted: Gigi Hadid killing it in shredded denim.
If I'm gonna try my hand at a trend, you better bet that I love it! I recently picked up this extremely distressed jacket from Zara. It kinda looks look it was run through a paper shredder which is why I dig it so much. It's also a pretty affordable update to my spring wardrobe at $50. It's easy to wear and super versatile and pairs easily with everything I have.
The shredded denim jacket is meant to be wore like every other denim jacket (that you already own), but this one packs more personality and punch. Keep the rest of your look polished so you don't run the risk of looking like you just rolled out of bed. A red lip, a glossy quilted handbag and silk polka dot blouse are all very lady like in nature but they take on an edgier look when paired with la shredded jacket.
Warning: Comments from grandparents are to be expected like, "You actually paid money for that?" or "You could have paid me to tear your clothes!"

10 Statement Sneakers To Buy Now: glitter, metallic, neon, white canvas
I recently got a pair of amazing bronze coloured Vans hightop sneakers that I've had my eye on for a while now, but I haven't been able to find the until now. Of course this is after I publicly declare my shopping ban so now I look like a quitter but I digress. I also grabbed a pair of pink sparkly kicks in the same SK8-HI style because they where on sale and yolo!
As soon as I posted them on my Instagram Stories, you all started DM-ing me wanting to know where I got them. (I love that you guys are as shoe crazy as I am!) Well, I've been wearing them non stop ever since so they're already proving to be a worthwhile investment so far.
If you haven't tried a pair of Vans yet, I dare you to get out there and try a pair on. They have a ton of styles from classic canvas to more statement fashion forward styles. Because the brand is all about skater/ lifestyle culture, the shoes are supremely comfortable and don't need any breaking in so you can wear them straight from the store and into the weekend.

Does natural deodorant really work?
Story by Diana Aldea.
Gonna be totally honest, I couldn't do 4-weeks of detoxing my pits. I really love the idea of getting rid of toxins - and I'm even O.K. with smelling bad for the cause - but when things get really bad in your personal life, it's just not the right time to sweat it all out.
I started using the Takesumi Detox from Kaia Naturals in late January and the results were exactly as I expected. It seemed to be working wonderfully during week 1 (minimal sweating and no odor) and during week 2, I smelled pretty horrific. This is common since your underarms are beginning to detox from built-up toxins, bacteria and other chemicals - they call this the "purge phase". During week 3, my life began to unravel at the seams. My dad had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few months prior and his health was on the decline. My mom and I were in-and-out of emergency rooms with him, we weren't sleeping much, and eating was sparse and generally pretty unhealthy. During the third week of your pit detox, you're supposed to be less smelly but sweating more. Considering I was a complete wreck, my pits were constantly damp and I smelled absolutely horrific. I caught a whiff of myself and felt like I was going to vomit, so I caved and started wearing my "normal" drugstore deodorant. I felt pretty terrible considering I'd made it so far, but honestly it just wasn't a good time for me. After using my old deodorant, I was hyper aware of how thick it felt, as if it was clogging my pit pores. I began to alternate between regular deodorant and the Takesumi Detox, which isn't ideal, but that's what I could manage. Week 4 is when you're supposed to see real results, but I'd messed up and would need to do it all again.
My dad passed away in mid-February and I started using my old deodorant exclusively. I did it out of habit and didn't want to run the risk of smelling terrible as I planned my dad's funeral and had to interact with family and friends. It's been a month and while I'm still pretty bummed out, I think I'm almost ready to start focusing on me again. This includes taking care of myself and trying to detox my pits (again). I think you've got to be in a good place mentally and physically to complete any detox successfully, and I'd highly recommend the Takesumi Detox under the right circumstances. My dad placed a huge focus on good health. He was always looking for ways to improve himself and Kaia's products are similar to those that he would use and approve of. I'm gonna try the Takesumi Detox again pretty soon, I'm sure my dad would be proud of me for smelling awful.

Hold me I’m scared! Tales of my nightmares & other neurotic mishaps.
This week on the blog I’ve been focusing a lot on wellness and I’m happy to announce that I have something really cool coming to the blog next week, but you’ll just have to wait and see.
Today though I want to focus on another one of those “story time” posts that y’all seem to like. So here’s whats up. I haven't been sleeping lately. It’s 3 hours here, 5 hours there and I am tired AF. When I do get to sleep I’m having nightmares. Like ridiculous, I’m-afraid-to-admit-them-out-loud nightmares about weird ass shit.
Anyway, after a week straight of stupid scary dreams and waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night, I finally told Geoff and Diana (My bff. Hi, you guys should know who she is by now.). I gave them vivid details about all of the weird dreams that I’ve been having. They both said the same thing, I’m probably anxious and stressed about something. The more I thought about it, the more that I realized that they’re probably right. I’ve been working really hard on expanding WoahStyle into a lifestyle brand. I’ve been analyzing my blog hits and everything is going in the right direction but with that, I’m putting in a lot of hours and I don’t know when to shut my brain off. In yesterdays post, 10 Tips to RELAX and De-Stress right now, I confessed that I’m the kind of person who gets stressed out easily. Trust me, it suuuuucks but it’s who I am. So I guess while I’ve been feeling alright in the day time, I’m subconsciously stressed out. Then I go to sleep and have nightmares about vampires and zombies and the end of the fucking world. OMG! It’s so twisted I know.
So here’s what I’m doing to keep the boogie man away. First up, I’m trying to eat better. Take away on a nightly basis is no beauno for my body and my mental health. I’m also thinking it would be a good idea to start writing down my nightmares. Like a dream journal, except more dark?! LOL I’ve always been big horror films, so it could be fun to write short stories about the weirdo scenarios I dream about. (BTW - There’s a difference between horror and gore. I can’t stand gore films like Saw, they make me queasy.) Finally, if dream journaling and eating better don’t work, I always reach for my good friend melatonin. Oh yes. I keep a bottle by my bedside because I’ve always had a shit time getting to sleep.
Now I have some questions for you guys. Do you also have vivid dreams that you can recall clearly when you get up? Geoff can’t remember his dreams for the life of him and he’s always surprised that I can remember so much. Also, do you guys have any tips for me on how to get a better night’s sleep? I’m grasping for straws at this point so any advice you have would be greatly appreciated! As always, thanks for reading and if you like this post, make sure you share the images on Pinterest!
