When this mask first came on my radar - the one thing that intrigued me the most was the vibrant violet colour. It's not everyday that you see this colour in a face mask.  So when I saw it at Sephora I made a impulse decision and picked up a tub!  One thing I love about this mask is the consistency. It's very creamy when applied and dries down a bit but nothing that leaves your skin feeling tight. I use my fingers to apply all over my face while avoiding the eye area.  I tend to use this mask once a week or before a night out. I leave it on for 15 minutes as directed and t ..read more

It's been a long time since I last had a subscription box. I found that I was getting products I never used or didn't really like. But when I received a promo email from American Express offering to purchase the December box, I thought I'd give it a go.  This box had an assortment of products both high and low end.  Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Daily Serum: This is a deluxe sample size. I gave this product to my mom as I'm currently not using anti-aging skincare.  Deborah Lippmann nail polish in the shade Let's Go Crazy: Always love a new glitter polish. I was happy ..read more

Today's post is all about the For Beloved One Hyaluronic Acid GHK-Cu Moisturizing Surge Cream. I hadn't heard of this brand before being contacted to try out the product. I was lucky to receive a tub of this to try out.  Find out my thoughts on this below!  This cream comes in a 30mL tub and retails for $94.99 - very pricey for the amount of product. But the price must not deter too many people it was  as it was awarded the Best Moisturizing Day Cream over $40 in the 2017 ELLE Grand Prix Beauty Awards.  First, I will say I have combination skin. My skin does ..read more

I first heard about essences in 2017 when more and more companies started bringing them out. I was skeptical but wanted to try one out to see if I could see a difference. I opted for the Tatcha Essence as my first dip into the essence world.  First up - what is an essence and why should it be incorporated into your skincare regime? From reading other posts, the main benefit of an essence is that it will soften the skin and open your pores to allow the next product you apply concentrate deeper into the skin and as a result, provide you better results.  I was curious to see if thi ..read more

Glossier has been on everyone's radar in 2017. I first discovered Glossier when I heard about them in my favourite YouTubers' videos. When I first heard about them they hadn't started shipping internationally yet. Once they started shipping to Canada and did their Toronto pop-up my Glossier collection grew significantly.  Below is an overview of my thoughts on the products I've tried out.  Let's do skincare first. The first product that I knew I had to order was the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. I had to try this from all the hype it has received. After testing this for a some ..read more

2017 has come to a close and this year I've discovered some amazing products that have been on constant rotation.  First up, let's talk about makeup. Early this year I had the chance to go to the states and managed to check out Ulta to finally pick up the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. I finished up that tube and I'm onto my second tube. The hype is well deserved and it's a great cc cream but has the finish of a foundation. It medium coverage and lasts throughout the work day. This is my daytime foundation as it allows me to skip the SPF step. Thankfully, this is now available in Sephora Canad ..read more

I recently had the chance to try out a few products from Rocky Mountain Soap Company. I was curious to see how these products would work as they're all made from 100% natural ingredients.  Find out more below!  First up - the Deep Cleaning Face Mask. Whenever I get a pimple, I use tea tree oil so I was curious the results this mask would provide. The mask itself comes in a powder form and you have to mix it with water to create a paste. When I first read the instructions I thought it would take a few tries to get a good consistency - but I was wrong! The first time I tried thi ..read more

Since the time I shared this post on my The Ordinary collection, I have accumulate more products from the brand. Clearly I can't be stopped - I must have at least half the range by now.  But when I saw they came out with a marula oil I put myself on the waitlist and impatiently waited until it was back in stock.  I tend to go for oils as moisturizers in the summer time as they are light and tend to absorb quickly. I had pretty high hopes for the 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil as it's not the cheapest product on The Ordi ..read more

I've been gravitating to the same makeup products over the past couple of months. During the day I like to have a more natural look and these products have been on rotation.  Urban Decay Shadow in Riff - I first heard about this shade when Laura mentioned it a while back. Anything that girl loves is a must-buy for me. So I headed off to Sephora and bought another brown shadow that I didn't really need more of. I've been liking this for the summer as it's a warm medium brown with slight shimmer in it which isn't that apparent on the eyes.  YSL Touche Eclat in D ..read more

Lately I've been trying to take better care of my skin and I've been testing out new brands. One of which is Nip + Fab.  I hadn't heard much about this brand before I was contacted to test out the products below. So I was pretty curious to see how they would pan out. Find out more below!  First, let's talk about the cleansing products From the Glycolic Fix Range, I tried out the Glycolic Cleansing Fix and the Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Facial Pads. I enjoyed using the cleansing fix and the cleanser had a thicker gel consistency. I found that this cleanser worked be ..read more
