Pretty In Bronze

I can break this down pretty quickly for those of you who don't want to watch the entire video. First I'll talk about the bad experience and then I'll have a mini review on the actual product.





My bad experience:

• They forgot to ship the hair out in time so it was an extra week and a bit late (ordered 7th of december and didn't receive until the 24th)
• They gave me a $15 credit for being late so whatever
• They sent me the wrong colour (a medium brown when I ordered their dirty blonde)
• When I emailed them telling them their mistake, they kept saying "no that's the right colour. It's just the lighting"
• It was obviously the wrong colour and they didn't want to reimburse me
• They told me that "honey blonde" looked like a better match for me EVEN THOUGH I ORIGINALLY ASKED THEM TO MATCH ME AND THEY SAID DIRTY BLONDE
• I sent the hair back with my own money
• They finally admitted fault when they received the hair and it was too dark (obviously)
• They did not apologize for their mistake
• They sent the correct dirty blonde this time and didn't mention giving me money for my shipping and material costs
• I had to badger them to send me money, which they eventually did
• I got the right extensions at the very end of January, almost two months after I originally ordered
• They sent me 20 AUD (19 something CAD) for the extra money I had to spend and still did not apoligize

Hello all! I made a video rounding up all of my makeup favourites for 2015 and promised I'd upload a few photos of swatches of things that you probably haven't seen swatched on my channel or this blog before (more recent purchases).

Here's the video with ALL of my favourites (not just the swatched ones) and below that will be a few swatches:








  MAC Cosmo, Kate Moss #____, Kat Von D Double Dare, Rimmel London Notting Hill Nude, ABH Brow Pomade in Blonde and NYX brow gel in Blonde as well.

A lot of the lippies are very similar, but that just shows the colours I'm most comfortable with!




 Milani's Luminoso and The Balm's Mary Loumanizer. The shade and light pallette doesn't show up very well because of the flash and the fact that the underside of my arm is super pale but you can clearly see the contour shades while the lighter shades look very light. On my face you can tell I swear!




I hope you enjoyed this post and watch the video to see ALL of my favourites from this year!

 Hello! It's been forever since I've posted on here. November is the busiest month of the fall term for me and I'm finally down to one essay and one section of a group paper left. Two weeks ago I uploaded a video about going to NYX (the new square one location) and have a few swatches to show you! These are all lip products, but I also got one brow product that I'm in love with.

Here are the swatches and the video that goes way more in depth is below! And below that are just little updates in point form of what's going on.

1. We're moving throughout December-February and will be fully moved out on the last day of February so uploads might be very sporadic
2. I will try to upload a "What makeup I'm using to tide me over while I move" video at some point
3. I have an etsy shop called brazilianglamour that you should check out if you like the EC life planner in vertical!
4. Exams are happening from the beginning of december to near the end so check on my twitter @amysousa for updates there
5. This is weird so I'm going to go now!

Hello! This is a blog post I've been meaning to write for a very very long time. So I'm going to do this super informally and just use headings for everything I'm going to talk about

The Planner Itself

This is a daily planner that includes the entire year of 2016. I paid an extra 5 bucks when I ordered it back in July to include all of that month up to the end of 2015 so I could enjoy the planner beforehand.  The planner I got is the Personalized metallic Life Planner in the white with gold foiled designs. This option is $65.00 USD, but you can get a ready to ship planner (without having your name on it) for $50.00 USD.  You can get a rose gold planner, but that's an extra 15 bucks.

What Comes When You Order a Planner

When you order the planner the shipping depends all on where you live. The planner comes with a few stickers, but you can also order a few accessories. These are the ones that I ordered




These first two are weeks that have already happened and obviously I'm awful at drinking water. I need to do that more often :(

   and PlannerStickerPlus here :)


I actually also had a mini september kit from PlannerStickerPlus, but I used it all up so there was no point in keeping the sheet, but you can look up whatever you want on their Etsy pages!


I used PSP for September because I ordered the stickers late and they're coming from much closer to me shipping wise. The stickers for this shop are great for different categories and events such as going to the movies, grocery shopping, periods tracking, and little things like that. For my actual organizing I used PDWD for my to do lists, event flags, full boxes, weekend banners, and all of the more structural stuff. Honestly these two stores are amazing (especially for the prices if you're in Canada and don't want to pay a ridiculous amount for shipping).

Hello again!   This week I'm doing a  TAG video and blogpost. These are a lot easier to write about because it allows me to link everything as I talk about it. The actual video is at the bottom of this post if you would rather watch that :) Remember if you do to watch it on youtube so you can see who's been tagged and all that :)
