I’ve been a real wellness kick lately.  Although I’ve always been one to workout a lot (I do some form of exercise five days a week and move everyday), I’ve been really focusing on nutrition and consuming and using better-for-you products.  This comes to skincare too. Although I do love so many skincare brands, I have been leaning towards more natural products.  One brand that I’ve been intrigued about for a while is Herbivore Botanicals. Herbivore, which started in Seattle in 2011, has skincare products with an emphasis on natural, high-quality ingredients.  Their items ar ..read more

When it comes to serums, Kiehl’s definitely knows what they’re doing. Their Midnight Recover Serum is one of the brand’s most iconic and bestselling products, so when I heard that they released a new line of serums, I already knew they would be great products. The new Kiehl’s Ultra Pure Serums are specially formulated to deliver potent, targeted treatments for various skin concerns, all while being gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types. These serums are made with ultra-pure ingredients, meaning that they are free from a long list of potential irritants, including fragr ..read more

If you read my blog often, you’ll know how much I love Tula products. As you may know, Tula is a brand that I have been a huge fan of for years. Their innovative and effective products have helped me achieve a radiant and healthy complexion. There are many items from the brand I love, but some of my top ones including the 24-7 Day & Night Cream, as well as the Protect + Glow Sunscreen. Because of that, I was so excited to learn that they recently released two new products that both fall within these product families and naturally, I couldn’t wait to try them. Starting first with the Ultima ..read more

Being a beauty and skincare blogger, I am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest to keeping my skin looking and feeling young. Here are the facts though, as much as we try, our skin will age, and no amount of serums, creams, and tonics will reverse that. They might slow down the aging process, but as you get older, your skin will age as well. I currently have a seven- to eight-step skincare routine, something I have been doing since I was 16. Right now I’m 34 years old, going on 35 later this year, and am one to take my skin health seriously. I try to drink lots of water, eat right, ge ..read more

As someone who typically gets dry scalp in the winter and who has a family history of dandruff, I’ve been really focused on making sure that my haircare routine is top notch and focused on scalp care lately. For the past year I have been using scalp oils and have seen their effect on not only how my hair looks and feels, but also on my scalp health. Winter typically is very drying for the skin and in the past I would often get those little flakes from my head that covered my clothes. Well not lately. I like to apply a scalp oil at least once a week (I wash my hair on Mondays and Thursdays), so ..read more

If there is one brand on the lips of everyone right now it’s definitely Fenty Beauty. I have been a huge fan of Fenty since the brand basically launched a few years ago. For the most part, I have absolutely loved every product I’ve tried, and considering the price points of the products, it’s fabulous quality for what you’re paying. I love the brand so much that whenever they launch something new, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. One of their newest launches is the Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipsticks (C$38). Available in five shades, these liquid lipsticks deliver a matte velvet finish with ..read more

When it comes to beauty brands, you really can’t go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury. I have tried numerous things from thing line (probably around 90 per cent of it) and have loved practically every item I have tried. Not only are the beauty products so iconic but the skincare items are also amazing as well. For the holidays, Charlotte Tilbury has a ton of items that are currently available and perfect for just about anyone on your list. Of course, her line isn’t the most affordable one, but you are definitely paying for quality with her products, so if you are looking to treat someone to somethi ..read more

I can’t believe I’m already writing about holiday sets! This year has seriously flew by and once again it’s time to think about the holidays and everyone on your gift list.  I always say that this time of the year is the best for beauty and skincare, both for yourself and anyone on your list.  When it comes to gifts, you really can’t go wrong with skincare or makeup and if you can get it at an amazing price, then even better! Tula is one of my favourite skincare brands, and for the most part, the majority of their items have blown me away.  Tula is now available through Sephora ..read more

Now that the weather is getting cooler, that means my skin is getting paler. Although I don’t usually keep up with tanning, whether that’s in the sun or self-tanning, once the weather gets cooler, I do like to throw on a self-tanning product every once in a while since it helps to boost the mood and I feel like I just look better with a tan (who doesn’t?!). The thing is, right now I’ve shied away more from the darker tanning mousses and gravitated more towards gradual tanners that give you a gorgeous, natural-looking glow. To achieve this kind of tanning effect I’ve been using a lot of St. Tro ..read more

When it comes to must-have skincare products, a good serum definitely makes my list. Serums seem to be one of the more pricier skincare items you can buy but they are well worth the price. A serum is a more concentration product that really penetrates into the skin to help with a variety of different concerns. I have tried a number of different serums throughout the years and love trying out new ones.  I have a few that stand out to me as being stellar products but I’m always on the hunt for a newer and greater ones. I recently got in a ton of new serums and with drier and colder weather ..read more
