Colour Pop | Puppy Love

Colour Pop recently released a new eyeshadow: Puppy Love ($5 USD).  Not only is the colour beautiful, but all of the proceeds go to a good cause.  I have purchased from Colour Pop in the past (review here and here) and have been keen to order again-- if it weren't for the CAD and shipping charges....

Sephora Favourites | Give Me Some Nude Lip

Who doesn't love a good nude lip?  As you have probably come to see, Sephora Favourites are some of my favourite  kits to buy.  A few months ago they released "Give Me Some Lip" which came in the same pretty pink lip box and contained a mix of full size and deluxe sized products.  They're...

Products to Finish in 2016 | Project Pan

I was really inspired by how many products I hit pan on in 2015, so in 2016 I want to keep up the good work!  Keep reading to see what products I am going to try to finish off in 201...

Empties & Tosses | 2016 Volume 1

This year I am going to try to do a better job at posting about my empties and tosses.  Why?  Well because if I was able to use up a whole product I probably have something worthwhile to say abut it. Rather than try to do it by month I will just make a post every time my empty bin looks full-ish....

IPSY | January 2016

I'm playing a bit of catch up! Yesterday I shared my (generally positive) thoughts on my December 2015 bag.  Today I am here talking about January's "All Eyes On You" bag.  Keep reading to see what they sent me.  As always, if you would like to sign up I would love love love if you would use...

IPSY | December 2015

The theme of IPSY's December 2015 bag is "For You With Love from IPSY" and I must say, it has been my favourite bag in a while.  See, every few months I think about leaving IPSY and then they give me a bag like this!  IPSY costs $10 USD, with free shipping in the United States.  For Canadians,...

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani

B-A-N-A-N-A-S...every time I have to spell that work, I sing it to myself. So I can't say I have ever been really into Gwen Stefani.  I was always more of a Hilary Duff sort of girl (hint hint Urban Decay), but with all the hype around this palette I knew I had to get my hands on it.  I don't approach...

Project Pan 2015

I didn't kick off 2015 with the goal of hitting pan-- but I did!  Six times!  I'm pretty impressed if I do say so myself.  Hitting pan is a huge accomplishment for a beauty enthusiast like myself-- it means that despite my hoards of products I loved these enough to give them some serious attention....

Travel Photo Diaries | Photos from Cuba II

Last New Years my family went to Cuba.  You can see photos from my trip here. Well, we had such a great time that we came back, and that we decided to go again next year!  My parents were kind enough to let me bring my boyfriend, and we have all decided that next year his family will come too,...

Rinse Beauty Bar | An Introduction*

Winter Blues got you down?  Feel like you need a touch of the Caribbean, but can't book a flight down south?  Might I suggest that you book yourself an afternoon at Rinse Beauty Bar in southern Etobicoke?...

Vacation Empties

I had an idea when I saw how many products I finished in Cuba that I would bring each empty home and include it in some mega post that I will eventually finish. But then I realised that literally bringing garbage home from my vacation wasn't the best idea. Also writing an "Empties" post with only six...

John Frieda Beach Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner

Nothing like the perfect shampoo and conditioner to make every part of your vacation feel like summer, and to wash out all the sale and chlorine from a day in the sun...

My Custom MAC Palette | A 2016 Monthly Project (Yogurt, Jest, Star Violet and Blackberry)

Last month (technically... year!) I had a fun idea.  What if I bought myself a 15 pan custom MAC palette and then each month I picked up a new shadow to create my own custom palette over the course of the year?  In basically every palette have ever owned there have been colours I don't love....

2016 | The Best is Yet To Come

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible --St. Francis of Assisi As I look forward to this year, and the next few that are to come, I know I have big dreams.  But sometimes getting from where I am now to where I want to be seems so daunting....

The Best of 2015

Do you ever find that as you get older that time moves faster?  That's how I feel about this year. Seriously.  Where did the time go?  It felt like just yesterday that I was stressing over essays and counting down the days until graduation.  Well, I graduated.  I'm here.  I'm...
