One Brand Favourites: Nyx

Hi guys!
So today, I thought I'd talk to you all a bit about my favourite products from Nyx.
Nyx only became available in Canadian stores this year and they have quickly become one of my favourite brands. While I still haven't tried all of their products (I have my eye on the Lip Lingerie liquid lipsticks that are only available online!), I have tried a good amount and I have many favourites that you all NEED to add to your collection!

1) Soft Matte Lip Creams
There is no surprise here. I am pretty obsessed with these. As far as drugstore matte liquid lipstick goes, these are the best. They also come in a great variety of colours, so whether you're looking for a vampy, dark mauve or a subtle nude, they have what you're looking for. The lasting power is great, and I don't find them to be overly drying. Overall, they're a must-have if you want to up your matte lip game without spending a ton!

2) Prismatic Eyeshadows
For me, these were love at first swatch. They are everything you want in an eyeshadow. They're buttery, smooth and insanely pigmented with little to no fallout. Bonus Tip: The shade "girl talk" also works as an amazing highlighter.

3) HD Concealer
This stuff works wonders, especially under the eyes. It's been described by many as a dupe for the Nars Creamy Concealer and with good reason; it gives great coverage, it's creamy and it isn't drying at all. I'm so glad I purchased this because it has been my go-to concealer ever since.

4) High Voltage Lipstick
I hardly ever hear people talk about these and I think that's such a shame. The pigmentation on these lipsticks are insane. They are so creamy and feel really hydrating on the lips, but also give such a great colour payoff. They also come in a huge variety of colours, you're definitely likely to find one that you like.

5) HD Blush in "Taupe"
When you first look at this product, you wonder why they would sell a blush in such a weird grey-brown colour. But this is the perfect contour shade: it's not too warm, it's not muddy or orange, it's perfect. I've seen this work fantastically on girls with darker complexion and it also looks great on me, and I am very fair skinned. It also has insane pigmentation so you need to have a light hand with this product. Highly recommended.

What are your favourite Nyx products? Let me know!

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
