Post by Pooja Sharma FabFitFun Winter  Box 2019 – What’s in my Box!  I have vivid memories of days long past when I would go into Ardene with my mom. These trips would always be so exciting for me because it was an opportunity to pick out one of the $5 mystery bags at the register. I found a fascination in these mystery bags because for only five dollars I would go home and open what felt like a never-ending bag of goodies. Mind you, even though some bags were way better than others, it was the experience that I enjoyed the most.  Now, in my twenties, I have found this same allure in subs ..read more

If you know me, you know how much I LOVE Chanel! and of course you know that I just had a big birthday happen. On October 31st I turned 50 and I gave myself the gift of Chanel. This was my first Chanel purchase, (aside from makeup,skincare or fragrance) and believe me it will not be my last. I wanted to start my Chanel collection with a classic pair of CC earrings. I visited a few Chanel boutiques, including the Yorkville Boutique and took a look at the earrings and found the perfect pair at the Holt Renfrew Bloor st Chanel Boutique. Silver CC studded earrings. The whole experience ..read more

Raise your hand if you religiously remove your makeup at night and wash your face?? Working in the retail beauty industry for over 20+ years now, it always shocks me when I hear how, why and why not people do not remove or wash off their face at night. From excuses like I’m too tired, I don’t wear makeup, I don’t have time to wash my face, I don’t even wash my face in the morning...to the opposite extreme cleansing, where everything and anything is used like oils, scrubs, masks, devices and acids..and don’t let her me started about home remedies to clean the face.  I'm hear to tell y ..read more

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show took place on September 2019 at the convention centre. This year the show was very scaled down and it felt very underwhelming. The hall was small and not all vendors that we were accustomed to seeing where present. No long line ups, not much of a selection (I found no lashes!!) and the main part of the show is the artistry which was noticeably missing this year.  No battle of the brushes! Or any type of artistry other from what I saw just the pleasure of seeing Larrisa P doing her thing with special FX demo.  The speakers where ok, the bargains ..read more

Put the Pads Away!  Alright, I think we can agree when I say all of us think our periods are the WORST! Not only do you feel cramped up, bloated and uncomfortable in your own body but, it ends up consuming your mind. It’s a traitorous week (more or less) of being constantly distracted of leaking through your pants or debating if it’s time to change your tampon. In reality, it’s time to turn that stigma around and recognize how powerful our periods are. Periods are a natural part of our reproductive system that allows us to do something so beautiful – create life! Though it is a little bit ..read more
