Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask Review.

The new Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask ($38, available here) is the brand’s latest innovation. The newly launched range of colour-and-mask-in-one is continuing a trend we’re seeing in the hair colour space; providing fun, temporary colours (remember L’Oreal’s Colorista range?) that also works to nourish the hair along the way. Perfect for Halloween, holiday parties or those days you just want…

5 Highlights from Fairytale Turkey (Including 2 Where I Almost Died)

Turkey has been a bucketlist destination for me for years and a recent mistake fare to Dublin turned the dream into reality! I thought visiting Turkey was going to be easy, given how popular of a destination is it before and even now, with all sorts of geopolitical rumblings around. Although it wasn’t the easiest trip, it certainly is one of the most memorable.

I spent around 10 days in Turkeyan…

Sephora Favorites Super Ingredients Value Kit Review.

The number of Sephora Favorites sets that have landed online have been pretty exciting; probably because the holiday is around the corner. The new Sephora Favorites Super Ingredients Value Kit ($25, available here) doesn’t feel like a splurge but comes with some very really awesome products from popular brands to try out.

The Sephora Favorites Super Ingredients Value Kitcomes in a fun packaging…

Sephora Summer Bonus Event 2019 Haul.

Sephora has hosted quite a few sales this past year so this end-of-summer Sephora Summer Beauty Event is quite a treat to pick up a few items to last until the holidays. Knowing the holidays are just around the corner, I decided to treat myself to a few items and save the rest of that hard-earned moolah for the holiday value sets that I’m going to be buying in bulk in a few months’ time!

Life Lately #18: I Bought a Condo.

The blog has been quiet for months and there’s a good reason for it. Actually, two good reasons for it. Earlier this year, I took on a larger role at work, meaning more hours and just needing to focus on it on the whole. Then, I got around the idea of buying into real estate… a condo more specifically, as I don’t see myself being limited in the GTA area with a house and all the maintenance and…

MAC x @ALLANARAMAA Influencer Kit

I tend to fall in and out of love my list of YouTubers and so when I do come back to a YouTuber, it means they are a solid go to. In the spirit of women supporting women and also supporting homegrown, Canadian-based YouTuber, I was pretty excited to indulge in getting myself the new MAC x @ALLANARAMAA Influencer Kit ($65, The Bay). This is an exclusive set available at The Bay and I believe is a…

Laura Mercier Prime & Perfect Set (Nordstrom Exclusive).

The NordStrom Anniversary Sale is a good opportunity to pick up new items and value sets from brands that I normally wouldn’t splurge on. Laura Mercier is a brand I love to shop for every once in a while as their face products are some of my favourites but the price points mean I typically have to wait until a sale to actually get something. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was the perfect excuse…

NARS Naked Paradise Lip Pencil Coffret (Nordstrom Exclusive).

The only item I knew I wanted from the recent Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was the NNARS Naked Paradise Lip Pencil Coffret ($48, NordStrom). I’m not usually a huge NARS fan, finding most of their range to be average and colour-wise, not as skintone-friendly as I liked for everyday use. But the lip products! Between these Satin Lip Pencils and the Powermatte Lip Pigment, I’m sold on them! So when…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul 2019.

The NordStrom Anniversary Sale is always an exciting time as it offers up a few opportunities to splurge on high-end goodies beyond your usual/favourite stores. I have long been a fan of Nordstrom as I find it less snobby than Holt Renfew and generally more helpful and interesting than Sephora on most occasions.

I dropped by NordStrom the day before the sale became available to the public and was…

Sephora Favorites FreshFace Set Review.

I am a few weeks late in reviewing this and I don’t think this set is available online at Sephora anymore, but just in case it does show up, I wanted to share my review of the awesome Sephora Favorites #FreshFace Set ($36, sephora.ca) as it is one of the better Sephora Favourites sets that have been released in recent months.

For those who’ve been following my blog for some time, you’ll know…

Work Travel Makeup Bag - Summer Edition.

Work Travel Makeup Bag – Summer Edition.

Work travel makeup bag is becoming some of the more common posts on this blog and there’s a good reason why! Given that I haven’t been shopping as much and going through my abundance of makeup/skincare products before they expire means I’m constantly discovering and mixing new and old favourites.

I posted a work travel makeup bag a few months backand since it’s officially summer, I thought I’d…

Sephora VIB Rouge Spring 2019 Sale Haul.

There was a surprise Sephora sale a few weeks months back and I wasn’t sure if I should still post this haul as it’s months overdue now. But, I did buy a bunch of stuff and it would be silly to not post a haul since that’s the kind of post I love reading about.

Dermalogica BioLumin-C Serum Review.

A $120 serum is a little too much to pay for but when I tried out the Dermalogica BioLumin-C Serum ($120, available here) thanks to the Sephora x ProSkin 30 experience back in October, I was instantly smitten. This vitamin c infused serum is meant to brighten and reduce the unevenness of the skin while reducing the appearance of loss of elasticity. Standard marketing-speak in my opinion, but…

MAC Haul 2019.

It has been a hot minute since I last posted on the blog. I thought, why not come back with a bang and a haul with that too? MAC recently had one of its (Annual? Semi-annual? Quarterly? I can’t really tell) 25% off for its MAC Lovers loyalty membersand I thought I’d splurge a little bit on myself since it’s been a stressful few months. A nice 25% from a brand that used to rarely do sales is…
