My Final Target Haul | Sonia Kashuk & Pixi

A few weeks ago, Target Canada closed its big red doors for good.  I went in on its very last day to see if there was any Sonia Kashuk or Pixi left-- these brands will be difficult to find in Canada from here on out.  Lucky for me there were bins full of Sonia (not much in terms of Pixi).  However...

My VIB Rouge Beauty Before Brunch Haul

Last weekend I went to Sephora with my mom and took advantage of their week-long 15% off sale.  You can read more about the experience, and see what I got in my sample bag here.  I had a blast spoiling myself and picking up a few products I have had my eye on for a while, and a few products just...

My Top 10 Pastel Picks for Spring

I love the theme of this month's Canadian Beauty Bloggers (CBB) guest rotation so much that I couldn't decide between two posts. You can read about my Top 10 Pastel Polish Picks for Spring on Miranda's blog.  Here, I will be talking about my Top 10 Pastel Picks for Spring, including everything from...

Guest Post | Pastel Smokey Eye

Hi everyone! I’m Jodi and I write about beauty with a side of tea over on Up the Rollercoaster - come say hi! Alanna is letting me take over her blog today as a part of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers guest post series with the theme of the month - pastels! When I first saw the theme my brain instantly went...

Dior Star Review

Foundation is one of the most personal pieces of make-up a woman can own.  Think about it:  It has to be the perfect mix of finish, colour, and undertone.  Recently Natalie from Ivory Avenue posted about her top foundation picks for super pale ladies.  I really enjoyed her post, and couldn't...

101 Empties | A Mass Review

I have a secret to share with you.  When I manage to gather this many empties it takes me a few days to write the post.  I will write a paragraph here and there until I reach the end.  Sometimes writing this many mini-reviews is daunting work.  There is only so many different ways to...

Sephora | Beauty Before Brunch Event Re-Cap

I am a huge fan of Sephora.  I shop there much more than I really should.  I love nothing more than wonderful deluxe sized samples to test and to take on trips with me.  I love events that really do feel special.  And while this event was nice, it was not amazing.  I should note...

ipsy | April 2015

The theme for this month's ipsy bag is "Beautifully Bohemian", but they might as well of called it "Cochella".  I am pretty far from being anything close to a Cochella fan (more of a Cape Cod girl myself!), but I love my ipsy bag this month!  I started off not terribly excited, but after getting...

Julep | Light On Your Lips in "Tutu"

I am such a sucker for lipstick.  Seriously, I was looking through my collection and I swear I only own about five different colours, just from a bunch of different brands.  I'm looking at you, dusty rose and red-orange! I fell in love with Julep's Light on Your Lips formula with both "Chit Chat"...

Sale Spotted at Shoppers Drug Mart: Nails Inc.

Target may have closed up shop, but there are still great deals to be found!  Yesterday I was at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Princess Street in Kingston when I came across this bin at the beauty check out.  ...

Review | Smashbox Photo Finish Primer in "Light"

For the longest time I ignored the other seven or so primer options that Smashbox has, in favour of their original clear primer.  However as proof that samples actually do work, I received a deluxe mini sample of this product a few month back, and fell in love.  Now, it took me a month or two to...

Sunday | Get To Know Me

I came across this little get to know you quiz this afternoon at The Cosmetic Critic and decided to modify it a bit.  I don't really feel up to tagging a bunch of people-- but if you want to answer these questions I would love to see your answers!  I am just on a train right now and am out of Netflix...

Essie "Butler Please"

First off, what girl doesn't want a nail polish called "Butler Please"?  I picked up this colour because it is a bight, summery take on my favourite colour: navy blue.  I am thrilled with this polish, and can't wait to wear it once the weather gets a tiny bit warmer!  I'm already starting...

Sephora VIB Rouge Event | Sunday

Tomorrow is Sephora's "Beauty Before Brunch" event, taking place at Sephora's across Canada (and maybe the States?) from 9-11 am.  Snacks, lessons, samples, and 15% off everything in store.  Yes please!  I am going to be going with my mom to the Bloor Street location in Toronto.  I'm hoping...

Fresh Sugar Advanced Moisture Lip Treatment

Winter is (thankfully) winding down which means chapped lips are soon to be a thing of the past.  However that is no excise to lighten up on lip care!  Recently I made a large order from Sephora.com and used code "FRESH" to get this deluxe mini for free (order must be greater than $35).  However,...

Julep Paradise Collection | April 2015

Every time the 20th of the month rolls around, I can't wait to log on and select my Maven box.  I'll be honest, at first glance I was not too excited about this month's selection.  I tend not to lean towards the brighter colours, so...yeah. However, I was really excited about the brow product,...

Bonus Point Redemption Haul | Shoppers Drug Mart

Shoppers Drug Mart has a fantastic points program.  If you do it right, you can get away with spending about $500 on products to get up to $200 in free products.  I tend to shop at Shoppers for everyday items, from household supplies to nail polish remover, birthday cards to hostess gifts.  By...

Revlon Lip Butters | My Picks For Spring

One of my favourite things about spring is the transition from heavy lipsticks to lighter balms and glosses.  What better to get me into the spring mood than some bright coloured Revlon Lip Balms (that I got on sale for $4.99 each!)?  Keep reading for my top three picks for Spring! ...

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in "Luxembourg"

I heard somewhere through the beauty grapevine that Taylor Swift often wears this lipstick.  Given that she and I both share a very pale, pasty skin tone I generally feel that what works for her will probably work for me. What I did not expect was to fall in love with this product in the way that I...

Julep | The Pop Collection March 2015

Nothing has the power to brighten up a day quite like getting a package in the mail.  I was thrilled when this box arrived because I was very excited to test out the lipsticks and the new "soft focus finish" polishes.  Keep reading to find out what I thought of my March box!...
