I’m still working on those fine lines around my eyes but the Collagen Gel is my absolute favourite from the whole skin care line. I even use it after I have my micro needling. La Maison Clayton Shagal has followed the premise that the true essen ..read more

Helena Lane Organic Skincare is still of my top three favourite choices for organic, natural, green beauty skincare. They are also CertClean certified(yay!) and I cannot stress how beautiful it is to find a line that works so well for your skin.

I know a good thing when I see it. If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas present for that special person who l ..read more

In addition to deep hydration, facial oil can also boost your skin’s natural glow and protect it from damaging free radicals. I love their eye-catching packaging and their products are also affordable and extremely effecti ..read more
