Jouer Tint in Honeysuckle

Jouer Tint in Honeysuckle

This post starts out on a sour note. The ONLY spot I know of in Vancouver to pick up Jouer products just switched from a retail store to online only, and they dropped Jouer from the lines they carry. Jouer is one of those brands that for whatever reason I am just drawn to, so it bums me out that I won’t be able to purchase from them anymore. While the store, Wishlist Boutique, was having their…

Recently

It’s been a while! This whole adult thing really leaves you with zero free time. Having real bills to pay, including some pricey mechanic bills have really take away any sense of disposable income, so having material for this blog has fallen by the way-side. I’ve been busy plugging away and learning as much as I can in my first job that’s in my chosen career path, and of course spoiling my cat…

Fall Favourites Tag

I’m alive! It’s been a while and I won’t make excuses. Between moving and adopting a cat, I’ve had my hands full. Downtime seems to just disappear, but when I saw that my lovely friend April from Blushing Biddies tagged me to do the Fall Favourites Tag, I knew this would be the post to bring me back! Fall is my favourite season by far. It’s filled with so many lovely things. So without a…

Control Freak

Since eyebrows have been all the rage for some time now, I find it really important to use brow products that are not only good quality, but easy and straightforward to use. If you’re asking me there’s nothing worse than having to spend 10 minutes filling in your eyebrows. What a waste of time! I recently ran out of my brow gel, and I have brows with super long hairs, so a gel is an absolute…

Graduation

As some of you may or may not know, I graduated with my Bachelor of Communication Studies – with distinction, in December. I honestly never saw myself as being someone who got a degree, not because I’m not book smart or incapable, but I just never pictured myself as someone who spent 4 years in University all to get a piece of paper. I’m one of those people who constantly runs high on the anxiety…

Honey Bee

@lushcosmetics' Honey Bee bath bomb is up for review today.

Back in March, I hit up a Lush store to have an amazing bath while I was in Seattle and had the luxury of a beautiful bath tub. As with most vacations, time completely slipped away from me and I never got to enjoy my purchases from Lush. Well, I finally got around to using the thing in my tiny cramped bath tub, and I can now review the Lush Honey Bee bath bomb.

  Nails Inc by Victoria Beckham Bamboo White – $28.00 CAD

The fact that this even comes in a massive box just proves you’re mostly paying for packaging. Do I care? Not really…

Too Faced Better Than Sex

Too Faced Better Than Sex

All aboard the hype machine. Everyone and their dog obsesses over the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. I had always wanted to try this mascara, however when I hear everyone singing its praises I always become skeptical. Tie in my suspicions with the hefty price tag and there was just no way I’d shell out 30 dollars to try a mascara. Luckily for me there was a sample size as a 100 point perk at…

FAB Cleanser

For a long time I was unsure of First Aid Beauty’s animal testing policy. I was pretty sure they were cruelty free, but I never saw any other CF bloggers talking about the brand. It wasn’t until I was absolutely certain that First Aid Beauty is cruelty free that I took the plunge and tested out a few products. One that I’ve been particularly fond of is a cleanser.

Tarte Showstopper Palette

The Tarte Showstopper Palette, my Sephora VIB splurge is up on the blog today!

Today I’d like to share with you a splurge product I picked up during the Sephora VIB sale. I had been eying up this palette online, and I honestly thought it was an Ulta exclusive, meaning us lowly Canadians were out of luck. When I saw this palette on the Tarte shelves in Sephora I snatched it up. And I’m so glad I did. Spoiler alert I have been using the heck out of this palette since I picked…

Vitamin E Moisture Mask

The Body Shop's Vitamin E Moisture Mask review is up today on the blog

If you’re like me, your skin is feeling more reptilian than human lately. I’ve never had issues with dry skin in the past, so when all of the sudden my skin switched from oily to dry, I had no idea how to combat it. I would exfoliate, but still be left with dry patches on my nose and in between my eyebrows. I finally decided it was time to amp up my moisture game.

Kristen

Kristen, my first crack at @ZoyaNailPolish!

I’ve been on somewhat of a nail polish tear lately. I really have been into finding long lasting, good quality polishes that are… obviously, cruelty free. I finally got my first try at Zoya polishes.

Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Kristen – $9.00

Zoya polishes have always interested me because they’re 5 free, meaning they’re made without nasty chemicals like formaldehyde, among others. The…

5 MORE Tips for Going Cruelty Free

Almost two months ago (!!) I put up a blog post with some tips for going cruelty free. I had a lot of fun writing that post, as well as a lot of positive feedback, so I figured I’d keep it going with some more tips for going cruelty free. This will be a continuation of my previous post, so if you haven’t seen that one, catch up HERE. I also would like to totally break down my definition of…

April 2015 Favorites

Another month in the bag! Time flies while you’re having fun, and I guess I had a lot of fun because I’m not really sure where this month went. It’s been a very busy month for me, and a very makeup-y month for me as well! I addressed a lot of ‘needs’ (lets me real… they’re all non-necessities) in my beauty collection, and I’m really happy with this collection of favorites.

Face of the Day - Simply Spring

Is anyone else just totally inspired by the fresh new season? I don’t know what it is but this Spring feels like the first time I’ve seen sunlight in my life. I was inspired by the sunshine to do a quick and simple face of the day.

FACE & LIPS

Once the weather warms up I like to try and use the fewest amount of products possible. My skin was behaving so I just used the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint

Spring Polish Picks

I feel like this post should be named Spring Pastel Polish Picks because that’s pretty much all you’re getting from me lately on the nail polish front. For whatever reason this Spring all I want to wear on my fingers and toes is a beautiful pastel shade.

What I really want to emphasize in this post is that you can get awesome cruelty free nail polishes at pretty much any price point. You love…
