Sephora Spring Savings Event
The Sephora Spring Savings Event starts April 5, 2024. Use the code YAYSAVE to redeem your discount according to your rewards tier. This code works both online and in store. Do you use the sale as an opportunity to stock up on your essentials, or to try new releases? I tend to do both. There are five items I hope to grab: The Essentials: I desperately need a new tanning mitt because mine is NASTY. I have the Isle of Paradise Hyaluronic Mitt $13.50 in my cart. Isle of Paradise is one of my favourite tanning brands. The other essential on my list is the Cinema Secret Brush Cleanser $43.50.…

Milk Makeup KUSH Hydrating Sheer Lip Oil
NEW Milk Makeup KUSH Hydrating Sheer Lip Oil. This is a sheer, non-sticky lip oil made with hydrating oils that deliver an intense hit of hydration and shine for smoother-, fuller-looking lips. Why is it that every single lip oil release has me 👀? It’s interesting that each shade in this line up also has a different flavour. All of them sound good! I don’t know which I’d choose. I will say, these do feel a bit pricey for me. They’re $36 for 5.5mL. Milk Makeup is a high-end makeup brand sold at Sephora, but this is nearing a luxury price point in my opinion. Lip oils have become my…

Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer
NEW Kosas BB Burst Tinted Moisturizer Gel Cream with Copper Peptides. Kosas is releasing a clean, tinted gel cream that’s a fresh take on tinted moisturizer—it delivers a refreshing burst of active skincare, light buildable coverage, and a smooth, hydrated, natural finish. How amazing does this look? This tinted moisturizer looks so fresh on the skin, and perfect for every day wear. I personally have more combo skin, but I do love a fresh, healthy finish on the skin. The real test for me will be whether it lasts all day. I have never tried a GEL tinted moisturizer. I am very intrigued by this formulation – it seems very…

NYX Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer
NEW NYX Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer. NYX Cosmetics have been killing it with the new releases lately. I’ve added so many of them onto my makeup wish list [cries in makeup low buy]. My number one primer need is to blur my enlarged pores so I was automatically intrigued. Add in super cute packaging, and SPF – I’m there! This is 3-in-1 blurring primer for up to 18h wear and helps protect skin with SPF 30 protection. I definitely recommend still applying your daily sunscreen underneath, but we love the added protection against the sun’s rays. This claims to blur and grip, protect all skin tones with no white cast…

Calling all my fellow Canadian indie makeup lovers! We have a new indie makeup retailer to make ordering indie makeup more accessible.

The brands they currently offer are: Adept Cosmetics, Gourmande Girls, Blend Bunny, and Wicked Widow with more being added all the time. All four of these brands are high on my indie wishlist, and I’m now even more motivated to make a purchase from a Canadian retailer. The owner is also very option to suggestions made based…

Hydrating, buildable coverage, crease resistant with a natural finish ticks all of my boxes. This new concealer is high on my wishlist! Fenty Beauty is a brand that consistently grabs my attention.
