My Summer Skincare Must-Haves with Beautysense

My favourite time of the year is right around the corner! The vegetables have been planted in the garden, everything has been pressure washed around the house and even the pool has gotten some use with the first heatwave of the season we've been greeted with. Having an early taste of the summer season? This girl here sure can't complain! That being said, with current times, and now more than ever, I think it is important to support local and Canadian brands and companies. I was recently introduced to Beautysense*, an online retailer that is based here in Montreal that offers professional beauty and cosmetic products. I was so impressed with their selection when first browsing their website, with many brands they carry being hard to come by in the Canadian market without going to an actual spa or salon. I am excited to be partnering with them to share the amazing skincare products I've been incorporating into my routine and that I will for sure be getting a lot of use out of in the warmer months.

EPIC EMPTIES | Winter 2020 Edition

These last few weeks have felt very surreal with the pandemic we are currently facing and this new reality we have had to quickly adjust to. It's been devastating, to say the least, and not knowing what the future holds can be unsettling and really have a toll on one's well-being. I decided to take some time away from my platforms to process it all, and it felt good to not pressure myself to put out content when I felt it personally best to take a step back. I am however happy to be back today and wanted to keep with the regular programming that can be expected each season on my virtual space here on the internet. I am sharing my latest epic empties installment (better late than never)! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy at home. Stay strong - we will get through this together!

NEW! Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Collection | First Impressions + Makeup Look

I recently experienced one of those "pinch me" moments when this adorable pink box filled with the entire Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Collection landed on my doorstep. I am such a big fan of both the makeup artist and the amazing cosmetics line she has built, having tried quite a few of her products over the years. Surprisingly though, I had never tried the ever so popular Pillow Talk lipstick, one (if not the) most sold lipstick shade in the world. I saw on social media that Charlotte Tilbury was expanding her line to include not only deeper shades in the existing lipstick, lip liner and blusher but was also adding a bunch more Pillow Talk products to her range, such as an eyeshadow palette, highlighters and eyeliner. I was super stoked to put the new Pillow Talk products to work, and I figured it would be great to not only show you what's new but also have you see in action how these apply in my latest video, too!

This Works Deep Sleep Breathe In and Deep Sleep Pillow Spray | Review

I consider myself lucky as I have had very little trouble falling or staying asleep for most of my life. Lately, however, I have been having more difficulty getting a restful night's sleep. I've been trying to find ways to better set myself up for some quality shut-eye. Taking a hot shower, drinking herbal tea, listening to relaxing music and meditating before going to bed has helped, as has incorporating these two products from This Works* into my ritual to restore a sense of calm before hitting the hay. I have tried similar alternatives from other brands in the past, however, I just had to give these two their time to shine because they have been so incredibly effective in my night time routine.

EPIC EMPTIES | Fall 2019 Edition

It's hard to believe that we are wrapping up another year and that we are about to enter a new decade. As the saying goes, time really flies! As we have just welcomed winter, I wanted to go through all the products I've used up this past fall, a tradition of sorts on this blog! From makeup to skincare, body care, hair care and more, I'm sharing mini-reviews on how I got along with all. Catch my video to hear me talk about each product in more detail.

OSEA Ocean Cleansing Milk, Ocean Lotion and Sea Vitamin Boost | Review

We've all been there - you try one product out, and then you dream about trying the entire range because you've been left in awe by its performance. That would be me + OSEA, a California-based skincare line I have previously professed my love for (evidence here and here). Yet again, I am back with some recent discoveries I just had to share, and while I still have a way to go before claiming I have tried them all, I am inching closer!

Charlotte Tilbury Full Face Of Makeup | Get Ready With Me

Charlotte Tilbury recently came out with new makeup which I was lucky enough to receive, namely the Airbrush Flawless Foundation*, Magic Vanish Color Corrector* and Starry Eyes to Hypnotize Eyeshadow Palette*. As I was sorting through my vanity makeup, I came to the realization that I have collected quite a few of the brand's makeup over the last couple of years, enough to create a full-face look! I love watching one brand tutorials as you get to see what a brand has to offer in action and such videos speak to a product's application performance.

EPIC EMPTIES | Summer 2019 Edition

Another season has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing on this blog! I've rounded up all of the products I've used up over the last few months, ranging from skincare to makeup, body care, hair care, fragrance and more. Discover some of my recent favourites in my latest video and find out which ones I think are worth passing upon. As always, I've included links to any reviews I've done in case you are interested in learning more about products I've featured in the past!

Vegan Food Haul + Taste Test! | iHerb.com

It has been a hot minute since I've shared a vegan food haul and taste test on here and while perusing iHerb.com recently to stock up on some supplements, I also threw in some never-before-tried snacks and meals into my cart! I'm always amazed by the variety of food I find on the website, and these all caught my attention. From fish-free tuna to vegan mac and cheese and matcha latte, I'm taste testing all of my finds on camera with you so you can see my live reactions! While some were definite hits, others were a little disappointing. Which ones should you give a try? I'm breaking it all down for you in my latest video!
