Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation Review
The Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation launched on October 13th and as expected, the hype is real! If you aren't familiar with Huda, she has over 22 million followers on Instagram and has built a beauty empire for herself. If you'd like to see a review I have a Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation Review and Wear Test on my YouTube Channel. 
Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation Review
Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation retails for $40 USD/ $52 CAD. You get 1.18 fl oz, which is 0.18 fl oz larger than the average foundation.  It comes in 30 shades which is awesome, the range is an actual range too, it goes from fair to deep!

I purchased the Huda Beauty Faux Filter foundation in 420 Toffee. I wasn't totally sure what shade I'd be but she has a pretty comprehensive foundation shade finder that compares the #FauxFilter Foundation to popular foundation shades. I think this shade is a pretty great match for me, I could perhaps go down to 410 Brown Sugar come winter but I'm happy with my pick!

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Two Toned Lipstick Swatches and Review

Tuesday, 17 October 2017
Bite Beauty Two Toned Amuse Bouche Lipsticks
Bite Beauty has launched their Amuse Bouche Two Toned Lipsticks. These are limited edition so if you are curious be sure to grab them quickly! There are 3 lipsticks in the range with two shades in each. These shades are a part of their permanent Amuse Bouche line. See more swatches and a review in my Bite Beauty Holiday 2017 Review Video
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Two Toned Lipstick Review 
The Bite Beauty Two Toned Lipsticks retail for $26 USD/ $30 CAD. The same price as their Amuse Bouche lipsticks. They come in the shades Chai/Nori, Honeycomb/Fig and Persimmon/Kimchi. I think these shades are great, especially Persimmon and Kimchi, I LOVE the orange/pink split lip look. I would however love to see another bright lip combo in this collection. 
Bite Beauty Two Toned Lipstick Swatches
I love this idea! It may not be for everyone, but they are a fun twist on a permanent product. If you happen to fall in love with a shade(s), you can repurchase. There is also no difference in the quality from their original format to these. Nothing worse than a limited edition product that is thrown together, not the case here.

Bite Beauty Two Toned Lipstick Persimmon Kimchi

Bite Beauty Two Toned Nori Chai 
Depending on your style or mood there are plenty of ways to use these. You can do a split lip, ombre lip, mix them together or even wear them individually. If you have a lipstick lover in your life, or you are one yourself these could be a great gift! That being said, over time I think they will become slightly less usable. Cross that bridge when we come to it!

Bite Beauty The Perfect Bite 2017
Bite Beauty Holiday 2017 has arrived! If you'd like to see the entire round up and swatches, see my Bite Beauty Holiday Kits Video. Today we're chatting about the Bite Beauty The Perfect Bite Amuse Bouche Lipstick Set. I reviewed the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick set here, I'm also doing a giveaway. 
Bite Beauty Holiday 2017 The Perfect Bite
The Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick Set contains 4 minis, of their permanent shades. It retails for $25 USD/ $29 CAD (value of $68 CAD) on Sephora, an amazing price if you ask me. When the holidays roll around it's really easy to get caught up in buying, whether it's for yourself or someone else. 
Bite Beauty Holiday 2017 Amuse Bouche Lipstick Set 
This set contains the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipsticks in Honeycomb, Sugarcomb, Rhubarb and Cayenne. SO excited that Cayenne, is in here, such a vibrant, red orange! Honeycomb is another fave of mine too.

The quality is exactly the same from the original lipsticks, just in a smaller format. It also comes in a reusable red tin. I think it's a nice touch, not super bulky and totally reusable.

Easy Meal Prep - PB2 Peanut Noodles

Saturday, 14 October 2017

Ingredients 
280g Extra Firm Tofu
Chow Mein Noodles (or brown rice vermicelli) 
Medium Onion 
Broccoli 
Peppers (Red and Green) 
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce 
1/2 Cup Water 
3 Tbsp PB2
1 tsp Minced Ginger 
1 tsp Minced Garlic 
1 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar 
1 Tsp Sriracha
1 Tsp Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp Corn Starch 
Bunch of Cilantro 
Lime Wedges  
35g Roasted Peanuts (chopped)

Steps
1. Cut tofu into steaks and drain between sheets of paper towel 
2. Coat Tofu in 1/6 cup soy sauce and sesame oil - leave for several minutes to marinate 
3. Chop vegetables, you can use whatever variety you like and whatever amount. The more the better! 
4. Add tofu steaks to heated, oiled pan. I like a grill pan. 
5. Add vegetables to wok or frying pan on low heat, add a little water to stirfry. Try to keep vegetables vibrant and with some crisp, do not overcook. 
6. For sauce, combine water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, PB2, corn starch, garlic and ginger. 
6. Cook noodles according to box instructions. 
7. Add noodles once cooked to vegetables and top with sauce, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until sauce has thickened. You can add in tofu here as well if you'd like. I added tofu after for even distribution. 
8. Top with cilantro, chopped peanuts and a lime wedge.
