Sephora Haul | October 2015
These products have been sitting in a box, unopened for over a month because I usually wait until I have five new products to share. I know, that’s ridiculous, because then I don’t get to use my new products, but I’d like to take photos before they’re used. However, I couldn’t wait any longer to use the fall lip products! Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleanser – I needed something to spot clean my brushes, so I picked up this little spray bottle. It’s great for people like me that don’t have too many eye brushes, so I can easily switch colours. Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Primer – Casey Holmes…

Drugstore Haul | September 2015
It has been over a month since my last haul post, so I thought it was about time to share with you what I’ve been picking up from the drugstore since then. I have also discovered, in the back of my closet, a couple new photo backdrops, please let me know what you think of this one in the comments. Revlon Nail Polish in 725 Provocative – I love the formula of these polishes, and didn’t have a orange-y red (more orange) in my collection. This polish is kind of like my last tribute to summer, and have been wearing it as much as possible until breaking out the dark…

New Goodies | Drugstore and Sephora Haul
Happy Saturday! This month has been a spendy one! I have a few packages en route still, so expect another haul post soon. If hauls aren’t your thing – don’t worry I also have a few reviews in the works. Batiste Dry Shampoo – This time I purchased my favourite dry shampoo in the Original scent. The Wild scent is still my favourite, but this one is probably runner up. I usually buy Batiste at Marshalls to get it a bit cheaper. Formula X Base Coat – I had run out of my previous base coat, which is shown in my latest empties post. I’ve heard good things about this…

Skincare Overhaul
Hey Guys! I’d like to take you on this skincare overhaul/ journey with me. My skin has always been problematic, starting when I was 11 years old. It has changed many times over the years. I’d think I found a holy grail skincare item, and then my skin would do a 180 on me. It has not always been due to seasonal changes either as it doesn’t always return to ‘normal’ when the seasons changed back. Before re-vamping my skincare routine, my skin was/had: combination/oily dehydrated sensitive cystic acne dark scarring ‘dented’ scarring beginning signs of ageing around eyes and forehead In my mind, the first steps were to get…

Drugstore Haul Plus Tangle Teezer
It’s about that time when I share a few of the items I’ve bought over the past few weeks. Maybelline Brow Drama in Soft Brown – This product is great for those minimal makeup days on its own, or used to add a bit of extra colour after filling them in. It kept my brows in place all day without that stiff feeling. I’m actually preferring to use this over my Anastasia Brow Gel at the moment. Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 10 Light – This concealer was featured in my last drugstore haul post (here), and I’ve picked up another, this time in 10 Light. This is a better…

My First Mac Products | Mac Haul
These are my first ever Mac products. I know, where have I been? It’s not even that I don’t have any higher-end beauty products, but something about entering a Mac store was too intimidating. Even now, I’m cheating a bit because Jeremy bought me these items as a gift. My gruff, country boy mechanic braved the Mac store donning his camo hat and greasy stained jeans. When he returned he said he got some weird looks and giggles, but also a “Wow, you must love her! My boyfriend would never buy me makeup – but he is now!” I have the best man! Enough blabbering – onto the products: These…

All I Needed Was a Toner… | Mini Sephora Haul
Recently ebates.com celebrated their birthday by offering special deals on their site. If you haven’t checked them out before – you definitely should! One of the deals was 16% cash back at Sephora.com – how could I resist? The only product I actually ‘needed’ was a hydrating toner but Sephora offers free shipping for orders over $75 so obviously I need a splurge item as well .. right? Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic – I have heard great reviews on this product and needed a hydrating toner, especially to use before applying my makeup. It contains lavender which calms and refreshes, and serine which promotes softness and moisture balance. So far…

Drugstore Haul | May 2015
Today I’m going to share with you my most recent purchases from the drugstore I’ve made throughout the month of May, as well as two items from Marshalls. The two 3×3 lipstick holder’s are the items I bought from Marshalls for $4.99 each. I thought this was a great deal because I’ve been looking at a 24 piece off Amazon for $20. I will definitely pick up another if I see them again but as I’m sure you know with those stores if you don’t grab it when you see it, it probably won’t be there when you go back. The next thing I bought was the Maybelline Lash Sensational…

ColourPop Haul and Review
When I heard that Kathleen Lights, who is my favourite YouTuber of the moment, was coming out with a foursome collaboration with ColourPop, I knew I wanted to get it. I purchased both her Where The Light Is foursome, and her lippie stix and pencil in Lumière. I also bought the lippie stix and pencil in Frida, which was an older collaboration with CoffeeBreakwithDani, another YouTuber I enjoy watching. The foursome was $20, which I think is a fair price considering their individual shadows are $5 each. Each lippie stix and pencil were $5. In my opinion, these are great prices, even better than many brands at the drugstore, with…

Drugstore Haul
Not that I need an excuse to shop but, Shopper’s Drug Mart was advertising their spend $75 get $25 worth of Optimum Points ‘sale’, ‘event’, I’m not sure what you’d call it. I think this is a pretty good deal, especially because I shop there quite a lot and collect the points anyway. Along with Easter chocolates for Max, I bought a few makeup items for myself, which were all on sale this week as well! First, I picked up a backup of my Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. These are my favourite makeup wipes because they are super gentle on my sensitive skin, and also do a great job of…
