SEPHORA FOR CHRISTMAS

Sephora did it again! Their Holiday Collection is so on point! This store has always been my go-to for all things beauty! Yes, I have earned their VIB Rouge status (don’t judge, lol), as I am a little bit makeup obsessed and so are my mom, sister & girlfriends – bottom line: between the 3 of us + gifts, it’s easy to spent that $1K/year. Especially that Sephora carries a wide range of products from so many great brands, including their own Sephora Collection (Ad). That collection is always so well packaged & the price/quality ratio is unbeatable. Below are…

Jouviance Hydractiv Coconut Melting Balm

Jouviance Hydractiv Coconut Melting Balm

The best beauty products are made from natural ingredients & one of those ingredients is the coconut! It’s not just a fruit that makes Pina Coladas extra delicious! It also contains a ton of amazing properties: it’s anti-inflamatory (due to essential fatty acids), antioxydant & hydrating. So, when I heard that Jouviance launched the Hydractiv Coconut Melting Balm, I needed to partner up with them to help my skin recover from the dreadful winter we had! After using this product for a couple of weeks (twice a day: morning and night), my skin got a lot smoother & softer! Lets…

SKINCARE & MAKEUP ROUTINE

In this New Year, I decided to try some new additions to my skincare & makeup routine! Ok, that’s not completely true, I adopted these products a month ago, so that I could begin to see some results before I reported them to you!  Here are my thoughts:  1- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair: Never go to sleep without washing your face, removing your makeup and applying a serum. Mark my words! Skin naturally renews at night, which means that it absorbes whatever is on the surface. So what do you rather your skin to absorb: old makeup clogging pores or…

ARTIS BRUSHES

When I heard that the Artis brushes were finally hitting the Canadian market, I was beyond ecstatic to try them out! And, they surely did not disappoint! First and foremost, I think it’s important to mention that the fibres are 100% Animal Free! They’re actually made of CosmeFibre®. I tried out the brushes to apply foundation and concealer, and I found them to be super soft. The results of the application were smooth, even & uniform – absolutely flawless!!! Not a single patch of foundation showing. Honestly, artist worthy results, if I may say (did I just call myself an artist?…

STOCKING STUFFERS

Exactly one week left till Christmas! I don’t know about you but I feel like time has simply flew by. I cannot wait for some time with family & friens, but until then it’s time for one last sprint. Here are some last minute stocking stuffers ideas:  1-EOS soft lip blams: Lips get chapped during winter, there is simply no other way of escaping it except to hydrate the lips 24/7. EOS soft lip balms are made for exactly this reason. They’re enriched with shea butter & a blend of moisturizing oils, not to mention they are paraben & petrolatum-free.…

FRAGRANCES FOR CHRISTMAS

FRAGRANCES FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s true that fragrances are very personal and each individual is unique, but if you understand the simple principles of ‘notes’ you can easily find the perfect fragrance. Notes are simply descriptions of scents and there are 3 classes: head notes, heart notes and base notes. Don’t worry, I did not know or understand any of this until I started working with a lot of perfumes! :P Head notes are the ‘1st impression’ scents that evaporate quickly. They are fresh or sharp and most commonly: citrus or ginger. Heart notes are the scents that pretty much cover up the initial…
