I.C.O.N. India 24K Richly Exotic Masque | Luxurious Detangling Conditioner


When it comes to hair care, I tend to keep things simple. I have the kind of hair that gets extremely weighed down when I use too many products all at the same time, so I usually stick to 1-2 products on top of shampoo and conditioner. Speaking of conditioners, I've been trying a new conditioning mask by a brand I was recently introduced to, and it is the I.C.O.N. India 24K Richly Exotic Masque*. Let me start off by saying, this product is basically a pot of gold for your locks. If you are looking to give your hair a burst of shine and bring it back to health, this stuff is exactly what you've been looking for! Let me break down to you why this product has worked such wonders for my hair.

NEW La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo [+] and Purifying Foaming Gel | Launch Event + Review


One product that has gotten a fair amount of recognition when it comes to spot treatment is La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo. I have never gotten around to trying it, but the fact that the brand came out with a new formula in the Effaclar Duo [+]* certainly got me interested all over again. I was lucky enough to attend the launch of this new product, where I learned all about how it is formulated and how it targets problem areas. With a new active ingredient known as Procerad, this new and improved treatment is designed to treat active breakouts but also redness due to hyperpigmentation from scarring that those pesky acne spots often leave behind. Along with this product, I have also been using the Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel*, so I will be sharing how these two products have been working on my skin.

What's In My Travel Makeup/Beauty Bag?!


Going on vacation can only mean one thing: having to narrow down what beauty items are a must to bring! I thought I would share with you what I took with me while vacationing in Western Canada earlier this month. Hope you enjoy the added footage from my trip at the end of the video, the views were absolutely breathtaking!

NutraLuxe Lash MD Eyelash Conditioner | Review


I am one of those unlucky people who was born with pin-straight short lashes, but thankfully a good mascara and an eyelash curler are always a quick fix for us ladies. I will be completely honest and share that I often notice when even men have longer and curlier lashes (insert a small hint of jealousy) and this true fact makes me want to try everything to get them to grow nice and strong. I have only tried one lash treatment in the past by Mavala (reviewed here), so I thought it was about time I give another a try. After doing some research, I went for the NutraLuxe Lash MD Eyelash Conditioner considering it had pretty rave reviews. After using it for a good couple of months, I am here today to share with you how this NutraLuxe product has been working for me.

Omorose BB Foundation Stick and Satyn Superfine Finishing Powder | Review


I have tried countless makeup lines over the years, and nothing excites me more than coming across a new brand to try that is unknown to me and might not be to most. Even more intriguing to me is when the brand in question has its roots in Asia, their products which we beauty lovers know have started a pretty big craze here in America. BB creams are now so common ever since they were launched by major cosmetic companies and have had their fair share of spotlight, and this often entails comparisons with 'the originals,' aka their Asian counterparts. When I was asked if I would like to give Omorose Cosmetics a try, I jumped at the opportunity since I have only tried one Asian BB cream from Lioele (reviewed here) and wanted to see if this one would be as good of a hit. I hence decided to try the Omorose BB Sunscreen Foundation Stickand their Satyn Superfine Finishing Powder*. It did not take me long to realize just how wonderful these two products are. Let me break down to you why.

Lavender Lovin' | Bleu Lavande Products and Visiting an Organic Lavender Farm


I wanted to share with you a few products I purchased last month when visiting the Bleu Lavande organic farm in Stanstead, Quebec, located near the American border. It is Canada's largest lavender farm and second largest in North America, and this year marks their 10th anniversary. Not only do they offer a wonderful tourist attraction, but they also make their very own products that are available to the public on site or through their website. I am a nature lover so getting to see with my own eyes how lavender is grown was such a treat. I headed out with my family on a beautiful sunny day, and upon arrival we had a picnic-style lunch since we brought our own food, which they invite you to do as they have many picnic tables on the estate. They also have a quaint cafeteria which we later visited, where they even serve lavender beer (although I did not try it since I don't drink alcohol, but I was told it was very good).
