June Beauty Favourites
Finally summer is upon us in Halifax. We’ve had a good week of nice ish weather and I feel like summer is finally here. So, I’ve busted out all of my coral makeup items and I’ve been loving it.

So today I’ll be talking about a couple beauty products I have been loving this past month! I love a good face mist and what it adds to my skincare routine.

Naturally Well Co | Review
As a beauty blogger I have begun to reach out to brands to see if they would like to collaborate for a review. When it’s a local, Canadian brand it’s even better. I recently reached out to a brand called Natural Well Co (or cynthia_aesthetics on insta) because they looked like they had amazing bath and body products. This is an Etsy shop and can be found here. The owner of the company was super sweet and we exchanged a few instagram DM’s before she sent me some products. She wanted to make sure I received exactly what I wanted in the scents I wanted. She would respond to my…

Pamper Evening Go-To’s
There is nothing I love more than having a little bit of self-love. I absolutely love spending a night pampering myself and doing but things I love to do. This usually includes eating chocolate, watching serial-killer documentaries, and doing the most skincare I can do. If you want to know some of the things I do on my pamper nights, keep on reading. Some people do pamper nights on specific nights of the weeks or on weekend nights but, since I work shift work I do them on completely random nights of the week.

HUGE Ulta Haul
I just got back from Miami a couple days ago but I couldn’t wait to post this haul so I can start using all of my new products. My hotel was less than a 10 minute walk to Ulta so of course, I went 3 times in 3 days. I was honestly like a kid in a candy store. I felt bad for my poor boyfriend because he had to endure me going to Ulta 3 times. If you don’t know what Ulta Beauty is, it’s a beauty store that is only in the states. They carry drugstore and high end makeup, skincare, and haircare. They have brands that you…
