Spring Favourites
Today I’m going to share with you the 10 products I’ve been loving this Spring. Olay Age Defying Instant Hydration Eye Cream – Not that I’m overly concerning myself with anti-aging products, but this was a nice, hydrating eye cream, and I’m almost through the whole tube. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear nail polish in Lacey Lilac – I’ve talked about this before, here, so I won’t go on about it again. Great colour, wore it on my nails a lot this spring. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer in 60 Brightener – Brightens beautifully, blends like a dream. Not the biggest fan of the sponge, I prefer doe…

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…

Review | Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chisled to Perfection Face Contouring and Highlighting Kit
I hauled this contour kit in my last post, and promised a full review – so here it is! I bought this palette at Sephora (here) for $50CDN The reason I chose this particular contour palette over say, the Anastasia one, or the Kat Von D one was because it was cheaper, and contains the shades I would get the most use out of anyway. Also, the individual powders contain more actual product (per shade, not entire palette). These powders are super blendable, which is exactly what I look for in a contour and bronzer powder. You don’t want to end up with a muddy looking streak under your…

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…

Review | Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Frizz Defy
I’ve been using this hair oil for about two months, and I thought I’d share my opinion. To start, the packaging is quite nice. I love the bright orange bottle (it’s my favourite colour), and the pump gives the perfect amount of product to where it doesn’t leave your hair greasy with one pump. The bottle is made from a thin(ish) plastic, and I feel that if you dropped it from any height, it may crack open – now that would be an awful mess! This product claims to be a “treatment for frizzy, unruly hair, with custom-blended Amla & Jojoba oil, smooths and tames frizz.” Now, my hair…

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…

Sally Hansen Cuteapillar
I went into Walmart on the hunt for a beautiful mint polish and I think I succeeded. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 140 Cuteapillar is from the limited edition Butterfly Kisses collection. I’ve talked about the formula of these polishes before (here), so I won’t go into it again. This colour is exactly what I was looking for, I’ve been seeing it everywhere and really didn’t own a polish this colour. I also think it suits my skin tone quite well. I will definitely be wearing this on my nail loads as we come into summer! What have you been wearing on your nails lately? ♥

Summer 2015 Bucket List
(Source) This past week I’ve been getting excited for fun summer times ahead. I thought it would be a nice idea to share some of the (realistic) things I’m hoping to do during the summer months. Here’s my current 12 ideas in no particular order: Upper Clements Park. This is the only good amusement park in the province in my opinion (that I know of). Now that Max is old enough to truly enjoy a trip down to an amusement park, I thought this would be a great day trip for us to make. Camping at Kejimkujik National Park. Max loves the outdoors so we’d love to make a few…

Review | Pantene Pro-V Root Reboot Dry Shampoo
Last night I had a product review post just about ready to publish, finishing up the links etc. when I came across an announcement (or whatever you’d like to call it), stating that the product had just been discontinued. Dammit!! I didn’t see the point in doing a post on something that will no longer be available once the shelves clear. So, sorry for the lack of a weekend post this past weekend, but here’s a bit of a replacement review for you. Today I’m talking about the Pantene Pro-V Root Reboot Dry Shampoo. I’ve had this product for many months now, just trying to love it, but I can’t…
