FAVE BEAUTY PRDUCT OF THE WEEK! - KAT VON D CONTOUR KIT

Hey there! Welcome to my first Fave Beauty Product of the Week post!
This weeks fave beauty product is the Kat Von D Shade + Light contour palette + contour brush!

Let me just start off by saying that I am not a professional nor am I trying to pass off as one, I am simply here to share products that I truly love using and that have worked really well for me and I hope that these posts can help some of you girls out when you're looking to buying new beauty products.

So, I'll be honest I haven't been that into the whole contouring trend simply because I couldn't figure out how to do it properly. A few months back I had purchased the Smashbox contour kit and personally I didn't find it all that great. So I had kind of given up on the whole contouring thing but I recently decided to try it again so I went out and bought myself the Kat Von D Shade + Light contour palette and contour brush. 
Before testing out my new contour palette I went on the Sephora website and watched a contouring tutorial. After testing it out I have to say I am really pleased with this contour palette. I don't like to wear face makeup that's too heavy and thick which was he result I was getting with my Smashbox contour kit, the Kat Von D contour palette was light on my face but still gave the contour effect I was looking for. 
I would definitely recommend this palette to everyone I know as well as the contour brush! The brush has two sides and comes with a case which makes it perfect for travelling cause you don't have to carry two brushes around and don't have to worry about it getting squished and ruined. 
So if you wanna start contouring that lovely face of yours I would definitely recommend this product as well as the Sephora tutorial! 
Hope you guys enjoyed this post and stay tuned for next week's fave product!

UPPERGROUND 13


Artist: Chloé Sabourin

Artist: William Sabourin

Friday night we had the pleasure of going to check out this wonderful pop-up art gallery.
We could not believe how talented some of these artists really were nor the amount of the time they must have invested in making these amazing paintings. The event coordinators Isabelle Grégoire and Chloé Sabourin did a really great job. The exposition had little bites, drinks and great music. Most importantly, it gave the opportunity to several university students from Montreal to show off their work.
We wanted to wear some simple yet classy outfits for this event.


I kept my outfit easy with black trousers, a white blouse and one of my new favourite bralette's. 
I wore my new Zara booties that I'm obsessed with. They're perfect to throw on with pretty much anything. Despite the cold, I refused to put on my huge winter coat and wore one of my favourite Unif leather jackets to top everything off.

I stuck to what seems to be this seasons trend; turtle necks! This Six Crisp Days turtle neck is absolutely perfect to wear with anything and its super comfy! I decided to spice it up with a fur vest that's been sitting in my closet for quite some time now. Paired it with simple high waisted black jeans and a cute pair of black heels!

SUNDAY FUNDAY


We wanted to do something that was easy going this Sunday and decided to go back to do our favourite childhood activity, ceramic painting!! Don't you party people worry about your pounding heads, it can even be done hungover. We know, you're reading this saying "oh my god! I used to do that all the time as a kid!" Yes, as did we and yes it is still as fun... well sorta, as long as you're patient and don't care too much about little details (which does not apply to the two of us). 
We went to the Ceramic Cafe on St-Denis, it's super cute and has great food and warm drinks. 
Since we live in Montreal, we are still awaiting the nice spring weather. However, in the meantime we have no choice but to plan outfits that consist of layering and winter boots. 
We always love a nice jean shirt to throw under a fuzzy sweater, its a fun look that can never go wrong on weekends.
