Guess what? I was honoured to be featured on iVillage.ca’s article “8 Canadian Beauty Bloggers to Know“! I’m so excited to be included with such a great bunch of ladies.
In hindsight while answering these questions I should have expanded a little more LOL! But please forgive me, I’m not used to being “interviewed” I’m used to being the interviewer!
So since I didn’t expand there, I’ll expand a little here 
Famous person whose make-up you admire?
I picked Emma Stone because I have never seen her look bad. I feel like she is not a “traditional” beauty but she can make so many looks work for her from rocker chic to classic and elegant. I admire that she’s willing to take risks with her makeup without going over the top. Somehow she just always looks fantastic.
Answer this: I could not leave my house without applying ___?
To those that know me in real life it should be no secret that I love mineral powder foundation. When hurrying in the morning it takes only a few seconds to apply and it does wonders to cover all my imperfections!
Beauty trend you adore?
I’m still in love with the bold lips trend. I think for a really long time I was obsessed with the smokey eye but I just love the look of a clean bright eye set off against a bright lip! I’m looking foward to seeing this trend translate to fall with deeper berry and burgandy hues!
Beauty trend you abhor?
I’m not sure why but I just don’t like the look of nail jewellery. Nail art I can appreciate, but adding jewels and bling to your nails just seems strange!
What beauty tip would you give your high school self?
Less is more – a classic sentiment and one that is probably harder to follow as a kid since you’re just getting into beauty and experimenting. I didn’t go ‘crazy’ with makeup but I do recall going heavy on both the eyes and the lips. I’m just glad I never got into that dark lip liner nude lipstick thing. WRONG!
Number of lipsticks in your purse right now?
4 – pretty tame for a beauty blogger right? I have a lip 2 cheek colour from RMS (illusive), an Avon lipstick (plum gorgeous), MAC lipstick (Brave) and L’Oreal Caress (Cherry Tulle)
So there you have it! I hope you’ll check out the feature and learn a bit more about the other fantastic ladies mentioned! It was such an honour to be chosen by iVillage.ca; I’d like to thank them for the opportunity and thanks so much for all YOUR support; it makes me giddy to think how far this little blog has come 
Also check out iVilliage.ca ‘s list of “Fall Makeup We Can’t Wait To Try” where you’ll see one of my picks for Fall
So cool Elaine, congrats!
Forgot to say…love the picture of you on the iVillage site!
Congratulations! I will have to try some mineral powder foundation for the days that I am in a big rush!
Thanks so much Kate! It was such an honour!
Thanks L! LOL that pic was from like 7 years ago, ack! Glad you agree with me about the nail jewellery
Thanks so much Christa
Congratulations!
Congratulations! You look gorgeous in the photo on the website
And I agree, nail jewelry is a little over the top.
Congrats! That’s fabulous!
