Makeup Removing Dream Team
I’ve tried countless makeup removers in the past. None removed everything they were supposed to. That is, until I started using these two products together. They work so well as a team, to remove every last bit of makeup, including mascara! I first apply The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter to my dry face. Working it in until is all melted into my skin. I then wet my hands and work it into a lather. I bring this right up into my lashes to begin breaking down the mascara. This does not remove all the mascara on its own, but it does most of the work. For the second…

February Favourites | 2016
Sorry my favourites are a bit late this month! But I hope the fact that I have a ton to share with you this month will make up for it 🙂 L’Oréal Hair Expertise Arginine Resist X3 – I’ve written an entire post about these three products, which you can read here. My hair hasn’t been in this great of a condition since before bleach two or three years ago. My hair is stronger, healthier, and falls out significantly less! LUSH Mask of Magnaminty – I’ve been suffering from terrible breakouts over the past month. Using this super cleansing mask all over once a week, plus overnight on my targeted…

Winter Skin Essentials
As the winter months are finally upon us, it is time to integrate more moisturizing products into our routines. Today I’m sharing with you my favourite winter skin essentials for your body, hands, lips, and skincare. Body The Body Shop Body Butters – Every winter I dig out all my Body Shop Body Butters. They smell amazing and are super moisturizing. As they are so thick, I only apply these before bed. When I wake up the next morning my skin is so lovely and soft, and it stays hydrated all day. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil – This shower oil smells amazing!! It cleans your body just as well as…

Empties | Products I’ve Used Up | 4
After stating in my last empties post, that I’d be doing them monthly… I skipped last month. Oops. In my defense, I only finished around 3 products, so I didn’t feel it would be worth sharing. Over the last two months I have finished 7 beauty products. Body LaVanila The Healthy Body Butter in Pure Vanilla – After seeing this product featured in one of Kathleen Lights favourites videos, I had remembered I received a sample in my Ipsy bag. This smells like a grown up version of a sweet vanilla scent, so yummy. It was incredibly hydrating and is made with all natural ingredients. I would definitely repurchase. LaVanila…

Empties | Products I’ve Used Up | 3
Since my last empties post, I’ve decided to try to do one monthly, if I have enough products to share with you. Skincare Lush Tea Tree Water Toner – I only used about 2/3 of this product, but it has expired. I thought this was a great toner for my acne prone skin, but not for everyday as it can be a bit drying. I won’t be repurchasing anytime soon as I’m trying out a few others. The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask – Another product I didn’t get to finish completely, but it has dried up. It was time for it to go anyway because I’ve had it…

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…

The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea
(Source) I was quite intrigued by The Body Shop’s release of the Fuji Green Tea range, mostly because of the Bath Tea. It seemed like a strange concept, that as the bath lover I am, I just had to try it. The bath tea itself is essentially bath salts mixed with real green tea leaves. The scent is truly wonderful, I felt so relaxed. You have to buy the Fuji Green Tea bath infuser separately for $5, which is kind of annoying. You put a scoop of the bath tea in it and let it ‘brew’ in your warm bath. The infuser allows the bath salts to dissolve into your…
