Winter Style Wishlist
It’s that time again; the time I share with you the top five items I would like to add to my wardrobe this season. Let’s get into it: Columbia Shimmerlicious Jacket in Blue Macaw – I’ve been wearing the same handful of winter jacket for many years now. I usually wear items until they absolutely need to be replaced. However, I think it’s time to get a new one. This jacket is a beautiful colour, looks nice, and has a fur hood which I love. Living in Canada, I have to sacrifice a chic looking coat for something a bit more practical, unless I want to pay a ton of…

Review | Too Faced Born This Way Foundation
The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation has been hyped up in the beauty community over the past few months. I jumped on this bandwagon as soon as I could ‘justify’ *cough cough* a high end foundation purchase, and have been loving it since.

Coverage so undetectable and skin so naturally radiant, they’ll think you were born this way.” 100% said this foundation blurred their imperfections98% said this foundation made their skin look absolutely perfect97% said this foundation provided natural coverage Beneficial Ingredients Coconut water to delicately replenish skin’s moisture levels.Alpine rose to brighten skin’s appearance and promote…

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…

Review | Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo
The Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo was featured in my most recent drugstore haul, in which I made a big claim. I may like this slightly more than my beloved Batiste. Claims “Refreshes between washes. Absorbs oil between traditional washes so hair looks and feels refreshed. Weightless formula cleans to transform lifeless hair, so you can enjoy fresh, volumized hair, even when you skip your regular wash.” Product Overview The packaging is sleek and classy. Quite a lot bigger than the Batiste, but still not bulky. The scent is clean and fresh, much like other Dove products I have used in the past. It does linger all day in your hair.…

Ipsy November 2015 Unboxing
This months theme is Beauty Blast; The Stars Are Aligning. I personally am not a fan of the bag again this month. But, Maxwell was super excited when he saw it because it’s outer space. So I’m sure it will be used in some form. Luxie Eye Shadow Pan in 290 – This is not very pigmented, doesn’t swatch well, and is very hard in the pan. It is a matte aubergine color. I wish this wasn’t just the pan as well. Personally, my Z palettes are full, and am not going to buy another. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara – I haven’t heard too much about this mascara. I’m not…

Sephora VIB Sale Haul | November 2015
I was beyond excited to finally be eligible for the VIB sale at Sephora, as this was my first year as a VIB. I set myself a limit of 5 items, so I wanted to ensure they were all products I have been wanting for ages, and that were highly rated in the beauty community. Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser – I have used up a couple cleansers and was in need of something new to try. This claims to remove all makeup and deep clean pores, which is definitely what I need. I like a cleanser that is gentle, yet still cleans my skin well. I will update in…

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…

Review | Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion Treatment Toner
The Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion Treatment Toner was featured in my most recent skincare overhaul post. I mentioned in that post that I wanted to post a full review, and after using it for almost two months, I have a good feel for what this product does. Claims “Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Instant Infusion is proven to provide 24 hours of moisture and significant protection from environmental stressors while evening skin tone and refining skin texture. The radiance-boosting formula also softens the skin which allows ingredients to penetrate more deeply, enhancing the efficacy of your complete skincare ritual.” Beneficial Ingredients Black tea, blackberry leaf extract, and lychee seed…

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…
