  • Why You Shouldn’t Make New Year’s Resolutions

    Year after year, we find ourselves persuaded into making New Year’s Resolutions. That January 1st means a clean slate; new year, new you. Year after year, we forget about them by the end of January, if not sooner. We’ve been doing it wrong! In my opinion, resolutions are too general, and not easily measurable. In 2019, I am making GOALS! Smart goals are well thought out, easily measurable, and have a specific end result. By making goals instead of resolutions, you’ll be able to set a clear path to success, and be able to track your progress throughout the year. I’d now like to share a few of my goals…

  • January Favourites | 2017

    I can’t believe this is the first favourites post of the year (if you don’t count my Best of Beauty video). I try and either do a blog post, or a YouTube video containing my favourites each month. If you’re not subscribed to my YouTube channels, be sure to head over there and do that – I’ve been posting a ton lately *pats self on back*. For more beauty content like you see here you can go to emilynmax, and if you’re interested in more mommy style videos/ vlogs you can go to emilynfamily which is a new channel I’ve started. Enough PSA’s already, onto my January favourites! IT Cosmetics…

  • 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. I don’t usually link the products in my video descriptions, but I always do in my blog posts, so I guess you guys are special 😉 Products Mentioned: Vichy Normaderm Corrective Anti-Acne Treatment 24h Hydrating Lotion Beauty Blender Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Pasadena…

  • Casey Holmes Made Me Buy It

    My first post in this series featured KathleenLights and you guys seemed to like it, so I’m coming at you with another post. The second YouTuber I wanted to feature in my “YouTube Made Me Buy It” series is Casey Holmes, who’s channel used to be called ‘itsbl0ndie’. Casey has 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube, and posts a variety of beauty and lifestyle videos on her channel. She’s always changing things up, recently adding ‘Test It Out Thursday’ and monthly ‘Hits & Misses’ as opposed to the standard ‘Favorites’. I really love that she switches things up, not just posting the same old videos all the time. She has an…

  • KathleenLights Made Me Buy It

    Hey guys! If you’d like to know where I’ve been,  you can check out my last post here. I’d like to start a new series on my blog, similar to the ‘YouTube Made Me Buy It’ videos that have been floating around on YouTube for quite sometime now, but with a twist, I’d like to focus on one YouTuber at a time. I watch so many amazing ‘beauty gurus’, ‘makeup artists’, ‘makeup junkies’, whatever you’d like to call them, (or what they like to call themselves), that convince me to buy a product for one reason or another. I follow them all for different reasons, whether it be personality alone,…

  • December Favourites

    Happy New Year everyone!! I feel like I’ve grown so much in 2015 as a person; making leaps and bounds in my personal and professional development. I’m excited to see what 2016 brings my way. I’m thinking of doing a posts on a 2015 recap/ 2016 resolutions, comment below if you’d like to read that. Anyway, these products have gotten my through the Christmas season and I’m super excited to share them with you! Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Shampoo – Due to the dry winter air, my scalp has been super irritated to the point of losing handfuls of hair each time I washed it. I always though Head…

  • Top 5 Autumn/Winter Lipsticks | 2015

      Today I wanted to talk to you about my top five lipsticks for autumn/winter this year. I had a bit of a hard time coming up with these five, because many were too similar, or were not available anymore, and I wanted to share ones you could still pick up if you wanted. I’ve chosen 3 standard lipsticks, and 2 liquid lipsticks. The four starting on the left are matte, and the last one on the right is and cream formula. The matte lip trend has definitely continued into fall, and I much prefer the matte formula on darker tones because they are more long-lasting, and I’m not worried…

  • Drugstore Haul | October 2015

    Much like the items in my last haul, these have been waiting around for awhile. I’ve been picking these up here and there for the last month, and am pretty happy with the items I’ve used so far! The two nail polish purchases are heavily inspired by Kathleen Lights. OPI in It’s a Piazza Cake from the fall Venice collection is the nail polish version of Ofra liquid lipstick in Miami Fever, which I also have and love. Essie in Leggy Legend, also from their fall 2015 collection, is a beautiful metallic bronze with a bit of gold and green reflects. Both polishes are stunning for fall, and all I’ve…
