Holiday Gift Ideas

Gift Ideas

Gift Ideas by eyefourstyle

Ahh, it's the most wonderful time of year again ain't it? While your wallet may not think so hopefully i'll change it's mind with these gift ideas under $100! To be completely honest I was creating a Christmas wish list for myself when I then realized a lot of these gifts can be pleasing to some other ladies and fellas out there as well. If you're a last minute Christmas shopper like myself (that's when you get the best deals anyway!) hopefully these items give you some inspiration for that special someone.


Panama Hat - Urban Outfitters $39 // I've been on the hunt for the perfect wool fedora. Ideally a brim that's structured yet partially floppy like a sun hat. Luckily I spotted this baby last time in store and fell in love. The leatherette band with a buckle just adds the right amount of oomph to this piece.

Belkin Armband - Best Buy $25 // If you know anyone who likes to workout in the gym or on the street, an armband can come in handy for them. Not only do they hold your phone while listening to music, but many can store cards and cash while you're on the run.

Beanie - Aldo $12 // Whether it's for a girl or guy, beanies are an essential simply because they keep your noggin toasty. Since many of us live in black during the colder months, a heather grey beanie is a nice way to break up a constant monochromatic look.

Olympic Mittens - The Bay $10 // The first time I came across these statement mitts were during a game of greedy grinch (the dirty version of secret santa). I had stolen them from someone and sadly later on they were stolen from me. Since then I thought that they would make an amazing gift for fellow Canadians as we support our team for the 2014 games in Russia!

Sam Edelman cheetah booties - Little Burgundy $90 // If you are searching for a statement piece for someone look no further! ....Okay, okay these booties may not be to everyones liking but I find that many girls have at least a slight attraction toward cheetah print. Personally, I like my cheetah print in small doses. Accessories such as phone cases, scarves, and lingerie satisfy my girly side (and are also great stocking stuffers!). From the low heel to sleek almond toe these booties will add an amazing touch of femininity. 

Sam Edelman Circus booties - Little Burgundy $70 // I know, I know, again with the booties? Let me quickly just express my love for these shoes. They provide you with that closed toe warmth essential for this time of year and spice up your denim whether it's skinny or boyfriend. These booties also give you a bit of height but yet are comfortable enough for everyday wear. While they are a classic black leather, the elasticated back keeps things interesting.

Stila in the Light Palette - Sephora $50 // A neutral eye makeup palette is an amazing gift for makeup beginners (such as myself) and those who like a basic everyday look. Personally I prefer this than the highly coveted Naked palette (gasp!). It is $12 cheaper, the colours are well pigmented, and it includes an eyeliner! Now for my fellow winged eyeliner ladies you'll definitely love this.

Seaweed Cleansing face wash - The Body Shop $13 // If you or one of your friends have oily/combination skin like myself this should work wonders. I've been using this gel cleanser for 3 months now and it has definitely normalized the oils in my skin, alongside my increased intake of water. 

Vitamin E nourishing night cream - The Body $20 // As the months get colder, many of us may suffer from dry skin. Treating it at night with a thick night cream should have you waking up with super soft and nourished skin. Just like the seaweed cleanser, I've been using this for 3 months and it is currently my favorite product in my skincare routine. This cream is a bit pricey but keep an eye out for 50% off skincare sales which The Body Shop does regularly.

Moto pleather Pants - H&M $35 // Leather pants are so sexy (my boyfriend begs to differ). If you know a certain someone who loves a good leather jacket, they may also love these trendy pair of pants. The zippers add that extra bit of edge and the button closure makes it dressier than a leather legging. Even though my mother has already beat me to it, hopefully I get to style a pair one day.

Maxi Cardigan - H&M $40 // Basic cardigans hit your waist, while statement cardigans hit the floor! This cardi is a stylish way to keep warm this winter and would look amazing with that panama hat above! Oh and keep an eye out for the latest H&M magazine because there's a coupon at the back, wink*.

Hope you all enjoyed this!

Mini Haul







Muscle Tee - H&M $6.95
Graphic Tee - Old Navy $8.00
Plaid Boustier - XXI $16.50
Fringe Necklace - H&M $14.95
Stud earrings - XXI $1.80
Cuff - XXI $6.80
Chain Necklace - H&M $3.00
Candle - Bath and Body Works $5.00 

Hey Ya'll
Here is a mini haul of some amazing bargains I couldn't pass up. My favourite thing here has to be the fringe necklace as I've been looking for a similar tribal fringe necklace which had sold out from Forever 21 and Nasty Gal long ago. I've also been obsessing over silver jewelry as its simple enough for everyday outfits and easy on the eyes when piling on rings or bracelets. The Candle smells amazing! Unfortunately when I light it, the smell is not that strong but hey it was only 5 bucks.
Hope you enjoyed!

My Everyday Makeup Routine


My "Everyday" Makeup

Hey there! Today I thought I'd share my basic makeup routine for the days that I feel like wearing a full face of makeup. It is beginning to warm up in Toronto therefore on hot days I skip the foundation and powder then continue with concealer, brows, eyes, and lips. I wont go into too much detail about the products but if you would like me to review something specifically, please let me know. Hope you enjoy!





The Base
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer
L'Oreal True Match in shade Cappuccino (N8)
Elf Powder Brush

After I moisturize I apply the primer on my nose, chin, and a small area of my cheeks. This primer has a cream consistency therefore should be good for normal to dry skin. Unfortunately my skin is combination to oily in the summer so I am on the hunt for a good gel based primer.
Afterwards I pour a nickel size of foundation on the back of my hand and evenly dot it all over my face with my finger. Then I blend it out with my favourite foundation brush. The Elf powder brush is very inexpensive and blends very well due to its flat top and density. The L'Oreal true match is lightweight and has a runny consistency therefore great for blending and building up to a light or medium coverage.


Concealing
NYX HD Photogenic concealer
Real Techniques pointed foundation brush
Covergirl Queen lasting pressed Matte Powder in golden medium
Elf Complexion Brush

When concealing I focus on covering up dark spots rather than blemishes. I apply the NYX concealer underneath my eyes, eyelids, and chin. To blend it out, I pat in the concealer with the Real techniques brush. This concealer is lightweight and illuminating but does not last a full 8 hours with my skin type. 
To set my foundation and concealer I powder my T-zone and concealed spots with the matte powder and fluffy Elf complexion Brush.


Brows
No.7 spooly and brow liner
Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set
Elf small angled brush
Maybelline Clear Great Lash

I get my eyebrows threaded once a month because I do not get many stray hairs. But my brows do grow long and curve downwards therefore a brow gel or wax is necessary. First off I brush my brows upwards with a spooly, mix the 2 shadows for the perfect colour with the Elf angled brush, then outline my brows. I sweep the outline I created upwards into the rest of my brows to distribute the colour. I then brush my brows upward again with the clear mascara. Although it is mascara it holds my brows in place without leaving them hard. 


Eyes
Essence Liquid Eyeliner
L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara

When It comes to eyes I am very simple. I start off with a medium sized winged liner, then apply the lengthening primer and volumizing mascara to my lashes. If I want my lashes to really pop I will add a second coat. I only apply mascara and liner to my top lashes and lash line for a wide awake look. I also gently bend the tips of my lashes backward to achieve a desired curl.


Lips
(Frosty Nude)
No.7 Lip Liner in Melon(25)
Burt's Bees lip balm in Original
Revlon Super Lustrious in Mink
Mac Shy Girl

(Dark Pinky Nude)
Rimmel Lip Liner in Enchantment
Revlon Super Lustrious in Velvet Teddy

(Bright Pinky Nude)
Rimmel in Asia (with above Rimmel lip liner)

Ok so I love Lipstick! I have 3 combinations for my everyday routine. The first is a nude with a frosty finish, then a dark pinky nude, and last a bright pinky nude. I first go in with Burt's bees lip balm which provides a thin layer of moisture making a great base for lipstick and liner. Then depending on my mood and outfit I will choose a nude or pink lip. I have separated the combinations when listing the products above.

(Frosty Nude) No.7 Lip Liner in Melon// Revlon Super Lustrious in Mink// Mac Shy Girl

(Dark Pinky Nude) Revlon Super Lustrious in Velvet Teddy// Rimmel Lip Liner in Enchantment

(Bright Pinky Nude)//Rimmel in Asia 


The Look
Here's the final look! I went for the bright pinky nude here with a blush from WetnWild. I did not post the blush as I hit pan and it is almost finished so if you have any blush recommendations please let me know. Oh and sorry that my hair is covering my liner but I am always wearing it in my youtube videos if you'd like to see!
