JOUVIANCE HOLIDAY MAKEUP

It’s a rare occasion that I leave the house without makeup. Some may call me high maintenance, but I call it a self confidence booster! There is nothing better than nice clothes and good makeup to make a women feel like she can conquer the world! And the holidays are no exception, in fact, this is the time to go bold. I love a red lip for the holidays and no night time look is complete without a smokey eye. This holiday season, it’s my 1st time trying out the Jouviance brand. What I love about the company is that…

SACHIKA

What a discovery! Sometimes the best hidden gems in Montreal are truly hidden! A few weeks ago I was invited to celebrate Sachika‘s 1st year anniversary & it was my 1st time at this store (I guess that were two 1st-s for me, lol). This boutique, located on the upper side of St-Laurent street, carries beautiful & affordable clothing from L.A. And when I say affordable, I mean it! You can get a stunning dress for $50 or this grey cardi for $69! I fell in love with the selection as well as with the setup of the store. I…

JACYNTHE RENE BEAUTY PRODUCTS – 100% NATURAL

I turned the dreaded big 3-0 at the end of October, and I was looking for a new beauty routine for nighttime. Like the rest of women on this planet, I’m terrified of wrinkles, even though some people still think I’m 19-21 lol! I just want to keep looking that young for a while ;) Needless to say, I welcomed Jacynthe Rene’s beauty routine with open arms, as I was intrigued by the cool apothecary look & the fact that the products are 100 % natural; no preservatives, no fragrance, no chemicals & not tested on animals! I tried the…

SEPHORA HOLIDAY GIFT SETS REVIEW

Sephora does makeup like it’s nobody’s business! It’s the 1st time I tried Sephora Collection brand eye shadows and I must admit the quality is impeccable! Not to mention the packaging – cuteness overload! But let’s back up to the beginning when I came back home from Vegas to a huge box filled with Sephora goodies to try out and review! The timing could not be more perfect since it was my bday :) and of course I felt like a kid on Christmas day opening it! Honestly, getting makeup makes a girl giddy! I had already presented some of…

MENSWEAR WINDOWPANE

Windowpane is just as trendy for men as it is for women this season! Different cuts of course, but same idea. This windowpane shirt is perfect to dress up or dress down an outfit. My working gent paired it here with beige pants & sneakers for a casual look. Pair it with navy or black trousers, throw on a blazer & accessorize with a bow tie for a dressed up look! Easy :) We took these pics at the Grand Canyon, which I told you all about in a previous post HERE. Below (last pic) you can see some of…

ANNIE YOUNG COSMETIQUES

I admire strong, hard working women! I watched my mom raise me & my sister by herself in a foreign country, where she did not know the language yet provided for us nevertheless, making sure we are fed, clothed & got the best education. She also taught us an amazing set of values; be kind, be independent, be strong, be humble. In my eyes she is a hero, an idol, someone I strive to be everyday. She, and so many other independent, strong working women are the reason I write this blog. Faith took its course a few weeks ago, when I 1st stepped…
