Fall Beauty Essentials
I don’t know about where you guys live but in Nova Scotia it is getting a bit chilly and I love it. It’s still hot in the middle of the day but in the morning and the evening there is such a nice crisp to the air. I change up a lot of my beauty items when the seasons change. For fall, I tend to go darker on my lips, nails, and eyes. I also switch up my fragrances (on me and where I live). So, to honour the amazingness that is fall I thought today I would talk about some of my fall beauty essentials. Fall is not complete…

August 2016 Beauty Favorites
Unfortunately summer is coming to an end. It seems like it flew by. But, that makes me so excited for fall. The candles, the sweaters, the scarves, the teas, the dark lipstick, the not wanting to die of heat everytime I step outside. Okay, I’m rambling now. Onto my August 2016 Beauty Favourites! Let’s talk about my go to concealer for this month. This is the LA Girl Pro Conceal and I have mine in the shade classic ivory. I only use this concealer for under my eyes. It has peach undertones which makes it perfect for cancelling out purple/blue. It’s a full coverage concealer but doesn’t feel drying at…

L’oreal Pro Glow Foundation Review
Finally a glowy foundation at the drugstore! After seeing so many different people talk about this and love it I had to go searching. After a couple weeks of searching I finally found this beauty at Shoppers Drug Mart. The description from the L’oreal website: Discover the new pro finish of long wear. Get up to 24hrs of hydrating glow. Lightweight and creamy, the foundation goes on smooth with a glow finish that lasts. Instantly hide imperfections for a clear complexion with this medium coverage foundation. Ideal for normal to dry skin. It comes in 12 different shades. The shade range isn’t great. They didn’t really cater to darker skin tones…

Summer Drugstore Beauty Haul
Who can pass up a little drugstore beauty haul? Not me, thats for sure. I love walking around the drugstore, finding new stuff, and hopefully finding some hidden gems that are just as good, if not better, than high end makeup. On this trip I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and Lawtons Drugs. Here is what I got when I went on a little spree! Simple Cleansing Micellar Water – My favourite cleansing water from the drugstore. Had to restock! Batiste Dry Shampoo – I’ve tried all the scents and the original is the best in my opinion. Can’t live without this dry shampoo. Loreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation –…

L’Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation
I was so interested in this foundation when it came out so, when I saw a display of these at Shoppers Drug Mart I jumped for joy (I actually did). Cushion foundation? Yes please. Luminous finish? YES. Cushion foundations have become a huge phenomenon in the beauty community. They originated in Asia and are unique because all the foundation is within the cushion. You just take whatever applicator you want to use, dab it in the cushion and apply to the face. The claims of this foundation are that it will provide luminous, air light coverage in a tap. You are also able to build your coverage one tap at…

Product Empties – Dec/Jan
It is again that time to see what is in my trash! No but really. I’m gonna be showing you the few products I have used up in the last couple of months. I never seem to go through makeup quickly at all, probably because I’ve got enough for a family of 4. But, here are a few of my skincare, body, and haircare empties from the past could months. First up, the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil. This was the first time I had tried this after hearing so much about it over the years. Well to put it out there immediately, it smells amazing. It smells quite almondy but…
