MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick
I was pretty excited to get these MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liquid Matte Lipsticks to try out. I have always been curious about a certain someones other matte liquid lipstick but definitely did not want to pay that or dare I say support them, haha.
I tried out a few colors from their range: Warm Beige, Rosewood (one of my all time favourite lip colors from MAKE UP FOR EVER), and Neutral Beige.
This first color is Rosewood (Color 105). It's more of a pinky plum color.
This color is Warm Beige (Color 103). It's more of peachy nude color. It's a little more subtle and on the natural side.
The last one I tried out is Neutral Beige (Color 107). This one is the boldest, more on the brown side and darker.
I found these MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liquid Matte Lipsticks to dry a little bit darker then they initially go on. The applicator is really easy to use, which is good because you want to be pretty precise lining your lips with these. I would start in the centre of your lips and work your way outwards. What I really loved about these is how long they last! I've worn them to a couple events in the last week, which included eating some yummy appetizers and the lipstick stayed on perfectly. I didn't have to reapply or anything. I was worried it was going to feel a little heavy but it's actually the opposite. Super light weight feeling!
If you are a little nervous about trying out a matte liquid lipstick, I would try out these ones and start with the Warm Beige color. Have you tried out any matte liquid lipsticks before? Let me know your favourites!

Panago Pizza
I can't believe it is almost May! That means that this new baby will be here before we know it. It also means that this Mama will be very tired, especially having a toddler to look after on top of this new babe. Making meals is going to be low on my priority list and anything that makes my life easier sounds good to me, so ordering Panago Pizza is a must!
We ordered Panago Pizza on the weekend, which was so nice after a long week of being super sick to have a break from cooking. Panago Pizza has actually been one of my number one pregnancy cravings too, so this Mama was extra happy!
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Panago now offers 100% Organic Italian tomato sauce which is made with organic tomatoes, herbs and spices. I also learned that their Ham, Italian sausage, pepperoni and salami are made from pork raised without the use of antibiotics. I always try to buy meat products that are made without the use of antibiotics, so that made me really happy. Especially when feeding my little toddler. They also don't use artificial colours or flavours, everything is natural.
Pizza made this Mama and her girl very happy!
Emery was so excited to have her own little box of pepperoni pizza to eat. She was also pretty jacked about the Organic juices they carry. Such a fun treat for her to have her own pizza and juice box! Aaron and I might have stolen the other two juice boxes from her, they were just too good! I think the organic lemon was my favourite.
Panago Pizza is made with fresh dough in store daily, and they also use 100% Canadian wheat and cheese. I love companies that support Canadian products! I also love that you can order other things with your pizza like salads (you can even create your own salads), wings, desserts and breads.
We will definitely be ordering more Panago Pizza in our future! What's your favourite kind to order?Let me know!<3 Kastles

Easter Basket Books
I can't believe that Easter is just around the corner! I remember thinking that baby would be so close to coming after Easter, so crazy! As you might know, we love books around here. No Easter Basket would be complete without a few cute Easter books. I'm sharing a few of our favourites below.
The Flora Book series is one of our favourites. Flora is the cutest little character and each book is filled with the most beautiful illustrations. This one is a great one for helping your little one to count. Emery can count past ten but sometimes likes to skip ahead. I like that on each page I can get her to count all the chicks. She's also totally obsessed with how cute the little chicks are.
Oh George! Such a curious little monkey. This story is about how George wants to play Hide & Seek with a Bunny but ends up losing it. Spoiler alert- he finds the bunny! E is obsessed with playing Hide & Seek lately so she was really into reading this book. It's a good length of story as well, not too long and not too short.
This is the first time we read a Pout Pout Fish book. I didn't realize there are other books about this fish. Emery thinks the fish is super hilarious. It's a pretty simple book about an Easter Egg Hunt. Emery enjoyed looking for the eggs throughout the book. It's a great starter book for Seek & Find.
I hope that this gives you, I mean the Easter Bunny a few ideas of some books that can go in your little ones Easter basket.
Also let's just talk about this amazing dress Emery is wearing from Allegra and Luca! She has the most beautiful hand embroidered dresses, tunics and more for little girls and for us Mamas! I have a matching blouse in black, and I'm obsessed! Follow her on Instagram to see her latest goodies.
I hope you are all having a lovely week!

DSW Kids Launch
We could not be more happy that Spring finally seems to be here! We can tuck away our boots and mitts, and slip into some new shoes. If you have kids, you probably know how fast they seem to grow out of things. I always seem to be scrambling to make sure Emery has shoes for the next season.
Thankfully DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse just launched DSW Kids in 8 locations across Canada and online, so it made it super easy to find her some new kicks for Spring. I just popped over to my local DSW in Sherwood Park to find her some new shoes. I even picked myself out a pair! I love that you can shop for the whole family there. When you are a busy, working pregnant Mama with a toddler, anything that makes my life easier is always a bonus.
DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse has an amazing selection of brand name shoes including Vans, Nike, Adidas, Birkenstock, BCBG and Nine West (just to name a few) at the most amazing prices. It's crazy, each store has over 20,000- pairs of shoes. It's pretty much heaven for a shoe lover like me!
They also carry the must current trends, including a favourite trend of mine: Athleisure. I picked us out some matching Vans because who can't resist matching with their little one? I love these Vans for Emery because they are black (always a good call to get darker clothing items with messy toddlers) and they are velcro. This way she can learn to put them on and off herself.
Emery is so obsessed with these Vans and loves matching with her Mama. I know she won't want to match with me forever, so I'm enjoying it while I can.
Make sure to go check out your nearest DSW for new spring shoes for the whole family! If your nearest location doesn't carry kids shoes, check out their online store. You can ship them to your home or local store for free, which is awesome!
Let me know what awesome shoes you find!
