Caring for my Dry Feet ft. Footlogix Medical Intensive Care Moisturizing Mousse + Pamper Giveaway!


Talking about feet in general can be a touchy subject. While some might not be phased by it, others might find it a bit odd and unappealing. I have been lucky in the sense that my feet haven’t really been a major source of pain or embarrassment for me, although I definitely go through worse “foot days.” My reoccurring issues are mostly dryness (and sometimes peeling) and the occasional calluses and rough skin. I do not really wear heels (find out why here), however wearing sandals and flat shoes also has its disadvantages. I know first hand how hard it can be to find a product that can make a noticeable difference in your foot health and prevent the same issues from reoccurring. From trying an electronic foot file, to thick creams and pumice stones, I’ve had my fair share of trial and error. I was recently introduced to Footlogix Medical, a foot care company that specializes in healing problematic skin. I was really intrigued by their Intensive Care Moisturizing Mousse*, said to treat common foot problems and prevent further damage. I have been putting it to the test for the last few weeks, so if you care to read about my experience as well as participate in a fun giveaway, make sure to read until the end!

iHerb.com Haul + Unboxing | Vegan Snacks + Taste Test, Brushes, Vitamins and more!


A few weeks ago, I had a little shop around my all-time favourite online store, iHerb.com. If you've been following me for a while, you've probably heard me mention them a ton both on my blog and YouTube channel. What I love so much is that they have an amazing selection of natural products, in categories such as food, makeup, skin care, supplements (and the list goes on) and their international shipping rates are very affordable. I usually always place an order to replenish what I'm running low on, but it's also a good excuse for me to try out new products that peak my curiosity. Being a muncher at heart, I wanted to give some of their vegan snacks a try and do a kind of first impression/taste test. Since I picked up other random things such as makeup tools and supplements, I'll be sharing those too! As always, you can use my coupon code FFM227 or shop through this link to save at checkout.

blinc Box Discovery Collection | Life Proof Makeup for All Day Wear?


I absolutely love coming across products that are not like the rest - whether it's due to their funky packaging, unique formulations or even the brand's overall message. When an introduction to blinc cosmetics landed in my inbox, I couldn't help but be intrigued by their claim to be "better than waterproof". Not only that, but their eye products are also said to be run-proof, smudge-proof and flake-proof and cannot come off solely with water or an oil-based makeup remover. Instead, it is the combination of warm water and gentle pressure, for instance from a soaked washcloth, wet fingertips or a streaming shower, that will make these products melt away, without leaving a mess behind. Neat (and quite unusual) isn't it? I was pretty skeptical to use long-wearing and waterproof eye products that do not require a makeup remover, which is why I decided to put the blinc Box Discovery Collection* to the test. Are these just as long-wearing and water resistant as they claim?

Odylique Organic Skin and Hair Care | Review + Giveaway!


Odylique is one of those natural brands that I would often hear about, especially from UK beauty bloggers and vloggers. I believe I may have even taken a peek at their products online after seeing them on social media a few years ago, but when I found out they were based across the pond, I knew the shipping rates could not justify a purchase. Lo and behold, I was recently informed by the brand that they have launched a website in North America - you can imagine how delighted I was to hear this! To top it off, they also asked me if I would like to give some of their products a try, namely their Balancing Citrus Super Tonic*, Lemon & Tea Tree Purifying Wash* and Gentle Herb Shampoo* which I have been testing out for the last month. Better yet, one of my lucky readers will also have the chance to discover this wonderful line, so if you would like to enter the giveaway, just keep reading!

EPIC EMPTIES | Winter 2016 Edition

Epic Empties

Being as a new season is upon us (can you believe we are already in spring? I sure can't!) and keeping with tradition, I will be diving into all the products I've used up in the last few months - EPIC EMPTIES style. In case this is your first time stumbling upon an empties post, it is basically a 'show and tell' of beauty products that were finished up, where the good, and well, not so good is revealed. I am seriously addicted to seeing what others have in their stash, which is why I started sharing mine years ago. I have a variety of products to talk about today spanning categories such as skin care, makeup, personal hygiene and more, so without further ado - here we go!

Say Goodbye to Itchy, Flaky Skin with Nature's Pure Bliss Alligator Butter | Review


As someone who tests many skin care products out (and often at the same time), when I manage to practically finish an entire tub in just over a month, it says a LOT about how truly amazing a product is. I am a huge, and I mean HUGE fan of body butters - actually, they might just be my favourite body products to apply. Granted, they may be thick, they may feel greasy, but they truly work. I recently had the opportunity to try out the Nature's Pure Bliss Alligator Butter*, which you may have guessed was created to soothe extremely dry, scaly skin. While I may have combination skin on my face, my body tends to be flaky and become itchy if I forget to tend to it, even just for a day. I recently raved about this body butter, but honestly the Alligator Butter would have to take the cake in terms of my current favourite body product. Here's why.
