Hello my beauties!
I know, I know… it’s been awhile. Instead of giving some lame excuse about being extremely busy (which I have been), I want to be honest and admit that I have been in such a beauty rut! Any spare moment I have had to write a new post, I honestly couldn’t think of anything that truly felt worth writing about.
When I started this blog, my plan was never to have a blog just for the sake of having a blog. My mission objective was always to be completely honest and share with all of you what products and/or treatments I am truly loving. If I haven’t mentioned a product yet, it do ..read more

Hello my beauties! I am finally back after a bit of a much-needed hiatus. But now, I am ready to get back into the swing of things and spread the news about the latest and greatest in the beauty industry! This week, I have a product that has become one of my ride-or-die’s! It is no easy feat to get that title, but this product truly blew my mind and I have become addicted!
A month ago, I received a complimentary VoxBox from Influenster with the new Kat Von D 24-Hour Super Brow Long-Wear Pomade and brush to try out for myself.
As soon as I saw that it was a Kat Von D product, I just knew I woul ..read more

Hello my beauties! It is absolutely dreadful outside, BUT why not cozy up and read the latest blogpost from Y. Beauty? (And trust me, it’s a good one!)
Today, I am talking all about collagen powder. I have been seeing articles and posts about this protein everywhere lately and decided to try it for myself. I have been adding collagen powder to my morning coffee for just over a month now and I have to say, I am noticing some positive changes! My hair just seems to be healthier, my nails are growing like crazy and my skin just looks fresh!
What is Collagen?
One third of your body is made up of c ..read more

Hi my beauties!
If you remember in one of my older posts, I listed my Top 3 Beauty Gurus: Dacey Cash, Huda Beauty and Jaclyn Hill. I still love these ladies to death and watch their YouTube videos all the time, but there have been some channels on YouTube that I have subscribed to over the past year that I feel deserves some love.
YouTube is a great platform to learn just about anything! The YouTube beauty community is no exception. I have learned so much from the beauty influencers on YouTube over the years! One of the biggest things that I absolutely love about the beauty community on YouTub ..read more

Hello my Beauties!
I am so sorry that I was M.I.A. last week! I was suffering from the flu for a good week and a half. And I mean the real flu, like straight-up influenza. It was the absolute worst! I haven’t been that sick since University (so approximately 9 years ago!) It definitely knocked me on my a**. I know that there are so many people that have suffered or are currently suffering from the same bug, as it’s spreading around like wildfire! Since I had a lot of downtime while on the mend, I had a lot of time thinking. Not just thinking, dreaming of a time when I was healthy and wishing I ..read more

Happy Monday my beauties!
I seem to always be on the hunt for a great concealer. I have favourites for sure, but I have never found one that actually does everything I want it to (full coverage, hydrating, not crease, longwear, etc.) Basically, I want my concealer to be so flawless, that it doesn’t look like I am wearing concealer – isn’t that the ultimate goal?!
Guys… I think I may have actually found it. The holy grail of holy grails. The concealer that just blew all other concealers off my vanity, never to be thought of again. I am talking about the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer. This ..read more

Hello my beauties!
Another week has flown by and I am just getting back into the swing of things after a long weekend. This week, I have decided to share with you a recent order I made. I always seem to be testing out new skincare products. I am never 100% satisfied and that’s likely because, with the ever-changing weather conditions and hormones, my skincare needs are always changing.
I first heard about The Ordinary from Manny MUA last summer and was astounded by how inexpensive the products are. He mentioned that he was using a couple of the Retinol-based products and I just had to try the ..read more
