  • January Ipsy Bag | 2017

    The first Ipsy bag of 2017. I was expecting another knock-out bag, but this month left me wanting more. The theme this month is Metropolis. I love the sporty vibe of the bag this month, the metallic mesh overlay reminds me of the 90s for some reason. Global Beauty Care Dead Sea Mask – I love a good deep cleansing mask once a week, more if I’m breaking out really bad. This claims to draw out dirt and impurities, peel away dead skin cells, restore elasticity, and fortify with essential moisturizers. It’s strange for this type of mask to claim to be moisturizing, so I’m excited to give this a…

  • Top 5 Posts of 2016

    Just like last year, I was curious to see what my most viewed posts were over the past year. My blogging game was seriously lacking in 2016, but it was for the best as I made so much progress in other aspects of my life. Here is a round up of the posts y’all liked most this year: 1. Top 5 | Spring Polishes, May 2. KathleenLights Made Me Buy It, February 3. Review | Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Treatment, May 4. Review | L’Oréal Hair Expertise Arginine Resist X3, March 5.  Casey Holmes Made Me Buy It, May Compared to this post last year, I can see such a…

  • Winter Beauty Wishlist | 2016

    These are the top five beauty items I’d like to add to my collection this season. The last few months, I’ve been really expanding my collection because of all the new launches. Just when I thought it was time to slow down, there were three launches I got super excited about, a skincare item with rave reviews I want to try for myself, and a recommended blush. My poor, poor wallet. LA Girl Pro Coverage Foundation – There’s nothing I love more than discovering new affordable foundations. This has the stamp of approval from both Tati Westbrook and Kathleen Lights, both whose opinions I trust. My skin has been extremely…

  • December Ipsy Bag | 2016

    The last Ipsy bag of the year. Ironically, the last Ipsy post on this blog was the first bag of the year. This month’s theme is ‘carpe p.m.’, a clever play on words. As loud and not me this month’s bag is – I kind of love it! It would be a great party clutch if you were in a pinch. It’s texture reminds me of faux pony hair, like that on leopard print shoes. Benefit POREfessional Primer – This is one of my favourite pore filling primers. It provides a smoother base to apply foundation. Having a sample size will be great for if I travel anywhere. Nip +…

  • ColourPop Haul | KathleenLights Collab & More

    When ColourPop sent out the email promoting their amazing Labour Day sale, I immediately jumped online to place an order. I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to pick up the latest ColourPopxKathleenLights products, and because I patiently bided my time, I got two free Ultra Matte Lips which is a fabulous deal! Crème Gel Liner in Mr. Bing – Ever since these liners launched I’ve wanted to try them [I feel like I say that about every ColourPop launch], especially the bright shades. I picked up Mr. Bing to try out the formula first before I went all crazy and bought ten shades. Mr. Bing is a beautiful warm…

  • August Favourites | 2016

    Hey guys! I know I’ve been a horrible blogger, and haven’t posted some new content for you guys in a long time. I’m really sorry about that! If you’ve missed me, I have been posting on my YouTube channel, and have decided to start posting them onto my blog as well. Today I’m sharing my August favourites with you.

  • BoxyCharm Unboxing | July 2016

    This is the second BoxyCharm to ever ship to Canada! I unboxed the June one over on my YouTube channel HERE if you’re interested. I would have filmed this as well, but I received the box super late last month, and then early this month so there was only one video in between. But, I still wanted to share with you what I got, so I’m throwing up a blog post for you :), told ya we were going old school over here on my blog. I couldn’t have been more excited when BoxyCharm announced they were expanding into Canada, and I have not been disappointed with the subscription thus…

  • MAC Whirl

    Lipstick must be one of my biggest makeup weaknesses. I own more than I have space for. I’ve rediscovered MAC Whirl, which I hauled HERE and HERE. I’ve owned the lip liner for over a year, and the lipstick is a more recent purchase. Although this may be considered a bit more of a Fall/Winter shade, I’ve been loving it recently! The dirty rose shade is a step outside my usual brown-y toned nudes that I wear almost daily. The matte formula is not uncomfortable or drying like some other lipsticks I’ve tried. Because, in my opinion, this still falls within the nude colour family, this shade goes with every…

The brights looked daunting to me at first, but this…
