Last year I bought a few items from the Inkey List to test and review. I heard about this brand being affordable and ingredient-focused much like The Ordinary and I thought, hey why not give them a try. I ordered items from the line that I knew I would use and based on the description would (hopefully) work for my skin. After testing them out for many months, I think I have a pretty good idea of whether I like them or not. First things first, I have to point out some things I really love about the packaging and labelling. I like that it’s black and white and simple. I like that there are sun ..read more

I’m someone who takes vitamins and supplements every day as a convenient way to ensure I’m getting my daily requirements. When Nature’s Sunshine reached out to send me some of their items I knew that I wanted to give them a try. Nature’s Sunshine changed the world as the first company to put herbs into easy-to-take capsules. This year is their 50th anniversary of bringing the healing power of herbs to millions of people across North America. This is the first time I’ve learned about Nature’s Sunshine and with 200+ products they have something for everyone I’m so excited that I get to test them ..read more

This post is a bit late coming but I guess it’s better than not posting it at all. I used a good number of items over January and February but I also did some purging which is something that I’ve been doing a lot lately. I’ve been more focused on using the products that I have and I’m constantly going through my overflow stash of products to pull out new items to use up. It’s actually been satisfying to use up items that have been sitting around for a few months. Here is what I used up ; Skincare Dr. Lipp Nipple Balm. I got this balm a really long time ago but it’s lasted me. This is a good e ..read more

My birthday was in early February and I did quite a bit of shopping to celebrate. I bought myself the Dyson Airwrap (review coming soon!), some coats that I needed for winter, and new skincare and makeup from Sephora. To be honest, I really didn’t need anything from Sephora but I was really drawn by all the Lunar New Year items. I ended up putting in two separate orders and was able to snag a few really good Beauty offers each time so it made it worth it to me. Here’s what I purchased; Sephora Favourites Year of the Tiger Set This set is filled with so many great brands and all are products t ..read more

While it does take a lot more work to manage my long hair I still love it. Over the last year, I’ve been finding ways to keep my hair healthy and strong and it’s meant re-visiting my haircare routine. In the past, I used to just pick a shampoo and conditioner off the shelf and as long as it could deep clean my hair I was happy. I’ve come to realize lately that a lot of these products have just been leaving my hair feeling drier and more fragile. I was very excited when Keratinworks reached out to me to try their haircare line. Since changing up my hair regime and using the Keratinworks PURE ha ..read more

Happy New Year! Can’t believe we are already a few days into 2022. Last year was such a whirlwind, it was bad, then it was ok, then it was good, then it was bad, again! I don’t know about you, but Toronto has been on a pandemic rollercoaster. I’m really hoping that this year brings light to the end of this tunnel. I’m really looking forward to hopefully travelling this year. I’d love to go somewhere out of the country, but if not I would like to at least see more of Canada. I was thinking Montreal and Halifax for sure. Any Provinces or cities you would recommend? Over the last two months, I ha ..read more

When it comes to gifting I actually love Kiehls. I find that no matter who the person is or what the occasion skin and body care are always great options. They have a great range of products that are great for everyone or you can get specific skincare if you know what that person likes. During the holidays they also have so many great sets. I also love it for myself, I actually bought myself the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate on my birthday (you can read that post here). I’ve been using and loving that product! Now, I know that skincare can be personal, so I always gift items to people ..read more

I mentioned in my previous post that I ended up doing a second order on Sephora that was mostly makeup so today I thought I’d share that haul with you. It wasn’t my original intention to have two purchases, but as I was going through my makeup and items started to get low or go empty I figured now was a good time to get it while I could still use the percentage off. Plus, it’s so easy to get lured into the Sephora website because of all the cute holiday sets and new releases! You can see what I ordered in my first haul here Here is what I purchased; MAC Cosmetics Studio Radiance Sheer Face &am ..read more

I was really excited to shop for the Sephora VIB Sale. There were a lot of skincare items that I wanted to pick up and try for myself. Lucky for me, my sister is at the top tier so I was able to use her account to order and score 20% off all the items listed below. I ended up doing a second order of some makeup items so I’ll share those items in my next post. Here is what I got in the first order: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution I’ve really been making an effort to add toner to my skincare routine. It’s great after cleansing to ensure that no makeup is left behind. As the price ..read more

These last few months have certainly flown by. September was pretty strange, it felt like one day it was super hot and humid and the next we immediately went into Fall and the temperature dropped. It’s a bit cooler now but I actually love when we roll into the colder months. October was fun, I went on a trip to Niagara Falls and Niagara-On-The-Lake and enjoyed wine-tasting, relaxing at the spa and playing some slots at the casino. This is the first real trip I’ve taken in a long time and I’m so happy I did! As I was prepping for this post I must admit I’m pretty happy with how many products I ..read more
