Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil FACE | Review + Giveaway (5 Winners!)

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know how much of a fan I am of facial oils. I remember being extremely hesitant to use them at first as I have combination skin and feared they would make my face even oilier. After doing some research and discovering their benefits, I finally took the plunge, and have never looked back! I'm excited to share a new product in my routine that has been really helping soothe my skin which is one the drier side now that the cold has settled, and that is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil FACE*. Best part? Five readers will win one for themselves - so keep reading to find out how to enter!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Ruby | Review

There comes a time when our lips are in great need of intensive care, and my lips have been in definite need of a rescue these days! With temperatures quickly dropping and the chilly wind picking up, my chapped lips couldn't be more thankful for the new Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Ruby* which has been welcomed into my life with open arms. I am no stranger to the Fresh line as I have sampled the Original and Rosé Sugar Lip Treatments a couple of years ago as part of Sephora's Beauty Insider Birthday Gift, and I have to say, they left me feeling quite impressed!

NEW La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+ | Review

Now that the colder months are upon us, it's time to bring out the heavy duty dry skin saviours! My skin becomes especially dry during the winter months, so I make sure to take the extra step of applying some kind of cream or lotion from head to toe once I step out of the shower to lock in all of that moisture - and whenever I forget to do so, I always regret it! La Roche-Posay has recently come out with Lipikar Baume AP+*, an anti-dryness, lipid-replenishing balm. What's really nice about this particular product is that it can be used both on the face and body and is suitable for babies, children, and adults alike. Since my skin is often dry on my arms and legs, I've been testing it out specifically on those areas. But does it perform as well as it sounds?

Rocky Mountain Soap Company Shampoo Bar with Rosemary | Review + Alberta Travel Pics!

In my effort to incorporate more natural products into my beauty routine, I've been on the hunt for toxin-free hair care products, and while vacationing in Alberta this past summer, my sister, cousin and I stumbled upon a lovely shop in Banff called the Rocky Mountain Soap Company, which offers 100% natural bath and body products. Sadly we do not have this store on the East Coast, but the good news is that the company is expanding and there are now 10 locations across the West Coast. It was actually my first time hearing about this company, and the beauty blogger in me obviously could not not go in. As soon as I set foot in the store, I was overwhelmed (in a good way of course!) by the variety of products that they carry and the invigorating scents that immediately put me in a state of zenness. All their products are handmade in Canmore, Alberta and include ingredients such as essential oils, herbs, real grains and natural fruit bits. I've never tried a solid shampoo, so when I saw the Rocky Mountain Soap Company Shampoo Bar with Rosemary (C$5.25), I knew I had to put it to the test.

Hair Styling Products | My Top Picks (Video)

Let's talk all things hair! I thought I would share some of my favourite hair styling products on camera with you today. I'm actually very low maintenance when it comes to my hair since I don't use hair styling products every day, but these are the ones that I reach for the most when wanting to make my hair look extra polished!

My Shift A Shade Fall Makeover with Clairol | Photos and Video Reveal!

A few weeks ago, I posted about the great opportunity I had to travel to Toronto to participate in Clairol's fall Shift A Shade program. I wrote all about the anticipation leading up to the big day here, and today I finally get to share my experience at Hair On the Avenue with you! I've never been treated to a makeover before (let alone had my hair professionally coloured), so the chance to consult with a team of beauty experts (including a hair colourist, a makeup artist and a fashion stylist, with a camera crew present to document the entire transformation) was beyond anything I've ever dreamed of!
