Neutral Smokey Eyes and Rose Lips | Video Tutorial


I've been playing with a lot of new makeup lately while also incorporating some old favourites from the drugstore and a few other places. I've been loving wearing this particular look for work, and for school I skip the black liner since I'm usually short on time when getting ready in the morning! Interested in seeing how I do a full face of makeup in under 10 minutes? Just hit play on my latest video! :)

Amie Bright Eyes Very Gentle Eye Makeup Remover | Review


It is tricky for me to find a good eye makeup remover as my eyes are quite sensitive and have reacted to a handful of removers that I've tried in the past. Even ones that claim to have natural extracts and are oil-free have stung my eyes on multiple occasions. I have resorted to using coconut oil in the last few years (my empties are proof of just how much I love this method for removing makeup) because I just haven't been able to find one that is specifically designed for the eyes that is good enough to recommend. I've recently been trying the Amie Bright Eyes Very Gentle Eye Makeup Remover* and I'm happy to report that it is one I've been thoroughly enjoying!

Cellessence Anti-Aging Skincare & Sugar StripEase All Natural Hair Remover | Review


Being in my early twenties, some might think that using anti-aging products is going a little overboard, but as the saying goes: "you are never too old - or too young - when it comes to protecting your skin." When looking for a new skincare product to try, I don't particularly look for the words "anti-aging" to be written all over them since there are many factors that contribute to aging skin other than the products we use, so I personally focus on the ingredients rather than the product claims by digging deeper and reading about their properties. I was recently introduced to Cellessence and have been testing 3 of their products out, namely the Cellessence Anti-Aging Face Cream*, the NuvaCell Wrinkle Repair Eye Serum*, and the Sugar StripEase 100% Natural Hair Remover*. I had never heard of this brand before so I was really eager to see how these products would perform and share my thoughts with you!

NSPA Luxury Spa Products | Review + GIVEAWAY!


If you know me you know how much I love discovering new beauty brands, and the skincare department is no exception! I have to admit that a few months back, I was stuck in a rut, using the same products over and over again to the point where I felt they were no longer doing anything to improve my skin. In my quest to remedy this situation, I have been trying out various lines, the most recent one being NSPA by Nirvana Spa*, a UK skin and body care line which has just made its way to Canada and is now available at Walmart. The entire range is cruelty-free, with all products being paraben free and dermatologically approved. They are also suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Now here's the twist: despite being luxury products, they are really affordable, with individual products being priced below $16! I have quite a few to share with you, and for the super exciting part: one lucky reader will win all 4 products featured in this post! Keep reading to learn how!

Vain Pursuits Skincare GIVEAWAY | 50 winners for $1000 worth of prizes!


I am a big advocate of proper skincare, and the all-natural route is by far the best way to go. A few months ago I had the pleasure of trying out Vain Pursuits, a non-subscription service that takes the guess work out of skincare shopping by personalizing products to your liking and having them delivered right to your door (read the detailed post about how it works and my experience here)! Basically, all you need to do is fill out a questionnaire by answering a few questions including your skin type and preferences when it comes to scent and texture of creams so that your skincare gal pal can create a custom Vain Kit that you get to put to the test. You also have the opportunity to chat with your skincare specialist who will reach out to you and ask if there is anything you would like changed before receiving your perfected full-size products that you also get to name yourself! Since I can't get enough of their products, I am partnering with Vain Pursuits to bring you a grand giveaway: there will be 50 winners for $1000 worth of prizes!

Spa Eastman Montréal Inaugurates Its First Boutique | Follow Me Inside


I am always keen on discovering new beauty spots in this big city that I call home, so I was overjoyed to get invited to the opening of the first Boutique Spa Eastman in downtown Montréal last week! Spa Eastman has been established in the city for almost 25 years, with the spa being located on the 16th floor of the same building as the newly opened street-level boutique on Sherbrooke Street and where one can be treated to a splendid view of Mont-Royal. The easily accessible new store will make it easier for customers seeking express services when on the go while also offering a handful of beauty brands for purchase that have been carefully selected for their superior performance. Not only do they offer a handful of products ranging from skincare to nail polish, but they also offer manicures and pedicures, makeup application and facials, just to name a few. I was quickly informed that all of their products are natural too, which is just the cherry on top!
