Love Letters and Lace

If there is one brand that I just cannot resist browsing (and ordering) from, it has to be Colourpop. A while back Colourpop was having free international shipping, which in other words means I couldn't help myself. Of course, I had to share everything I got because I'm SO excited! I picked up a little bit of everything, and I'm really happy with everything. One of the Super Shock Shadows I ordered came in damaged unfortunately, but thankfully the texture of the shadows makes it really easy to just press it nicely back into the pot. Not the prettiest, but still works just as well. Anyway, Here's what I picked up!: Lips:  Ultra Satin Lip in Chandelier Ultra Matte Lip in Donut Ultra Satin Lip in Cozy Ultra Satin Lip in Bare Necessities Ultra Glossy Lip in My Jam Ultra Glossy Lip in Bestie (not pictured, I keep that one in my purse!) I also got Mini Ultra Satin Lips in the shades Frick N' Frack, Prim, Dopey and Strip. Really excited to play around wit

 Happy Friday everyone! I got a lovely package a while back from the lovely folks at M Squared Brands  full of products from Weleda. For those of you new to the brand, Weleda is a brand that has tons of amazing, high quality, all natural products, including, skincare, body care, hair care and even products for babies. I was super excited to receive this box because this is definitely a brand I've been wanting to try out more from. I'm currently trying out these products, and full reviews will be up soon! Without further ado, here's what was in the box!  The first thing that stood out to me in thebox was the Calendula Intensive Skin Recovery cream. This is the one Weleda product I've tried in the past, and I'm in love with it. I'll be posting a full review about it soon, but trust me, this stuff is miraculous.  Next up are these 3 Evening Primrose products; The Age Revitalizing Day and Night Creams, as wellas the Revitalizing Body Wash. I'm very ex

Hi everyone! I wanted to do some kind of haul since I bought quite a lot of new makeup this month, so I figured I'd just do a monthly haul showing you everything I picked up this month! Let me know if you like these and maybe I'll make it a monthly thing! During the spring break, I made a little road trip to the US where I got to pick up some drugstore products that we don't have here in Canada, specifically Wet n' Wild and Milani. The CVS I went to didn't have the biggest selection, but I'm still really excited about the things I picked up! From Wet N' Wild I picked up the PhotoFocus Foundation , which I've heard great things about. I'm most excited about the highlighter I picked up in the shade 'Boozy Brunch' . I mean, how gorgeous does that look???  I also picked up two of the Liquid Catsuit Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Nudist Peach and Give Me Mocha. You can see swatches of them on my Instagram here ! The Milani sectio

Have you ever gotten so frustrated with your current makeup or skincare situation that you frustratedly purchase a bunch of new products hoping to find something to make it all better? No? Just me? I was having the absolute worst time trying to deal with my skin lately. It's just been so incredibly dry and flaky, nothing in my current routine could fix it. My skin looks and feels terrible and my makeup looks just as bad. So I decided to purchase some new skincare things to help fix this issue.  The first things I picked up were the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask and the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. I bought them in the smaller travel sizes since I never know how my skin is going to react to them and I didn't want to make a big investment in a product that would cause me to break out. I also picked up the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil because my skin is painfully dry and everyone and their grandma has raved about this stuff.  I also decided to pi

 A couple of weeks ago, I made (believe it or not), my very first Colourpop order. I put off ordering from Colourpop since International shipping can be pretty pricey, but I couldn't put it off any longer so I finally decided to pick up some things.  I wanted to try a little bit of everything I've heard a lot of hype around, so I picked up some of the Super Shock shadows, a matte liquid lipstick and a lippie stick. (Of course, with my luck, their pressed single shadows were released 2 days after I placed this order... so you know what my next order is going to be!)  The shadows I picked up were Weenie, KathleenLights, Sequin and Eye Candy. The liquid lipstick is in the shade 'Instigator' and the lippie stick is in 'Topanga'.  I put off ordering these for far too long, so I am incredibly excited to try them out and see what the hype is all about. They all look so incredibly pretty and they've got me so inspired to create gorgeous looks. I'll

Those of you who know me know that I love a good free sample. I love buying sample sizes of products before committing to the real thing. So this is something I was VERY excited about.  Awhile back, Shopper's Drug Mart was having a Fall Beauty Bonus where with a $120 purchase of beauty products, you received a tote bag with a TON of sample sized products, primarily higher end skincare.  Personally, I like to save up my Optimum points for events like these.  I haven't gotten around to trying any of these products yet (because God knows, I have enough products to try that I'm covered for a lifetime), but I thought I'd post about what was included in the bag and see if there are any products in particular you'd like me to review first!  Here's what I got!  Clinique City Block Purifying Charcoal Cleansing Gel (I'm super excited to try this one out!) Benefit Gimme Brow Eyebrow Gel Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery C

Hey everyone! So not too long ago, I went on a little road trip to Toronto and went to the NYX store which was super exciting for me. The NYX selection in the drugstores near me is pretty small and there are so many products I've wanted to pick up but just haven't been motivated enough to order them online (shipping to Canada is often crazy expensive and just not worth it). Being able to go to an actual NYX store was such a treat because I could finally find the stuff I've wanted for a while now. I definitely had to restrain myself a bit though, because my mini haul could have become a huge, expensive haul very quickly. So even though I didn't get much, I'm pretty happy with my little selection of products! What I picked up: Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in the shades "Exotic", "Ruffle Trim" and "Embellishment" Dark Circle Concealer Correcteur HD Blush in "Rose Gold" Prismatic Eye Shadow in "Mermaid" Let

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been super busy doing all sorts of cool stuff, so look forward to seeing tons of blog posts about what I've been up to coming soon! :) I've picked up some cool things over my past few shopping trips and I thought I'd share them! Bath & Bodyworks Warm Vanilla Sugar body lotion  MAC Amplified creme lipstick in Impassioned  Just about the most gorgeous bright fuchsia!  Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation Lise Watier Eau Miscellaire  L'Oreal "The One Sweep" sculpting blush duo Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen  Rimmel Moisture renew lipsticks in Coral Queen, Diva Red and Funtime Fuchsia  From left to right: Coral Queen, Funtime Fuchsia, Diva Red.

So... I went to Lush the other day and thought I'd show you all some of the goodies I picked up from there! I had never actually been inside Lush or tried any of their products before, but I had heard such good things about them that I decided to change that! Here's some of the things I picked up! 1) Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo (or as the lady in the store called it, "their famous beer shampoo") I was a little on the fence about getting this but I decided to give it a shot. I'll probably give it a full review later on. I got the 100mL bottle which was $9.95 2) Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze Hair Treatment I got this in hopes of finally finding a good hair treatment that will tame my thick, wild hair. What sold me is their claim that it will "smooth and soften fluffy, frizzy and dry hair". I've used it once so far, and it seems to have made a little bit of a difference. I'll write up a review of it once I've fi
