Saturday, 14 October 2017


Ingredients - Modified Recipe from Table Party of Two (I added and subtracted a few things but credit to them!)
  1. 9 lasagna noodles
  2. 300g extra lean ground beef 
  3.  egg
  4. 1 pack (300g) frozen chopped spinach 
  5. 1 cup pasta sauce
  6. 300g fat free ricotta cheese
  7. 1/2 + 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  8. 1 tsp oregano 
  9. 1 tsp basil 
  10. 1 tbsp minced garlic 
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cook extra lean ground beef breaking into small pieces, add oregano, basil and garlic half way through. Season with salt and pepper 
  3. Thaw or microwave and drain spinach, mix with 1/2 cup parm, egg, ricotta salt and pepper.
  4. Boil large pot of water and cook to box noodle instructions 
  5. Lay out cooked noodles onto baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking, and pat noodles dry.
  6. Add ricotta mixture thinly over each noodle, cover boths ends the ricotta acts as "glue". Then add ground beef over top. 
  7. Cover the bottom of your baking dish with pasta sauce and lay all rolls in. 
  8. Top with More pasta sauce and remaining 1/4 cup parm. 
  9. Cook in oven for 30 minutes covered in tin foil. 
  10. Remove tinfoil and broil on high until the top gets crispy.
  11. Feel free to top with a little more parm like I did, once cooked. 
  12. Let cool slightly before adding to meal prep containers, and cool fully before covering and putting in fridge or freezer.

The Bite Beauty Liquified Lip Set contains 4 minis, of their permanent shades. It retails for $22 USD/ $26 CAD (value of $68 CAD) on Sephora, an amazing price if you ask me.

Benefit Punch Pop Liquid Lip Color Swatches

Monday, 9 October 2017
Benefit Punch Pop is the latest edition to Benefit's line of lip products. These are a super juicy, glossy "liquid lip color",  kinda like a pigmented gloss. 
The Benefit Punch Pop retail for $24 CAD at Sephora. They come in 7 beautiful shades, perfect for summer but let's be honest - you can wear these whenever you want! They are quite full of pigment, but not sticky.
I generally don't gravitate towards pigmented glosses but I really like these. You can wear them full on glossy or blot them. They don't have super long wear time, they do slightly stain the lips and wear off nicely. 
As to be expected from Benefit the packaging is super cute! Comes in a squeezy tube but you still get a doe foot style applicator that allows for easy application. They are slightly scented but nothing overwhelming. 
Benefit Punch Pop Strawberry - juicy red 
Benefit Punch Pop Watermelon - hot pink

Revlon YouthFX Concealer Swatches and Review

Tuesday, 3 October 2017
Revlon recently released their YouthFX line which features a foundation, concealer and several targeted primers. As a huge fan of the Colorstay Foundation I was super excited to try this. The being said, it seemed to be marketed towards a more dry, mature skin type - of which I have neither. If you'd like to see them both in action with a wear test, check out my Revlon YouthFX Foundation Review
The Revlon YouthFX concealer is available anywhere Revlon is sold and retails for around $18 CAD, which is steep if you ask me. Drugstore products continually get more and more expensive. That being said, if the quality is great it still costs less than something high end. My biggest issue with this concealer is the shade range, 6 shades is not enough. If you are going to do only 6, at the very least include a good range of shades, from light to deep. I wore the second deepest shade (medium deep) as an undereye highlight .. not okay. 
As for the actual formula, I like it. It has a sponge tip applicator for easy application, it's creamy and blendable. I would say about a medium coverage, always let your concealer set a bit before blending it out to get the most coverage possible. I will say it needs to be set on my skintone, I don't find it too emollient but it's getting there. If you have a more dry skin type I think you'll definitely like this.
