Winners Haul | Discounted Makeup, Nail Polish and more!

Are you a bargain hunter? I certainly am! Winners is one of my favorite places to find discounted beauty products, and I am the first to admit I can spend a little too much time looking through their displays. I thought I would share the items I picked up on my last trip and decided to make a video out of my little shopping spree. Hope you enjoy!

Amie Petal Perfect 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner | Review

What can be kind of unappealing about skin care is that there are so many different steps to doing it right: first we reach for the cleanser, followed by a toner, apply a bit of serum, layer on the moisturizer, dab on some eye cream... and I'm probably leaving some steps out. I'm always curious when companies come out with hybrid products meant to cut down on time spent on our skin care routine, so when I heard about Amie's Petal Perfect 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner*, I was really eager to try it out and see how well it performed. I've tried a few other products from the line and was super impressed, so expectations were definitely high!

My Current Hair Wash Routine | LUSH I Love Juicy and Veganese

One thing I've learned over the years is that the longer I can go without washing my hair, the better my locks look and feel. Let me explain: I used to be a firm believer that washing my hair daily was best to keep it ultra clean and luscious. I could not stand not washing my hair for longer than a day, and could not even fathom stepping out of the house without a freshly washed mane. I was the one who said to others: "How can you only wash your hair every other day? One extra day of no-wash and my hair looks so dirty and greasy!" Boy have I proven myself wrong! Funny how things change... I now find my hair to be unmanageable when it is freshly washed, and much prefer it on its second or third day following washing since it is so much easier to style! With time, my hair has become less greasy between washes, and with the help of my trusty baby powder (more on that here), I can stretch the amount of days between washes. I've been using a shampoo bar for a while now, but as I ran out it was time to try something new. I've recently been smitten by a hair care duo from Lush, namely the I Love Juicy Shampoo and Veganese Conditioner, which were kindly gifted to me by my lovely sister over the holidays. I will go as far as saying they are the best I have ever tried - here's why.

A Day at Spa Eastman | Health and Wellness Retreat

There comes a time when we all just need to get away, clear our thoughts, and enjoy a bit of serenity. And when a beach vacation isn't an option (hello university, work commitment and poor student status), your next best bet to decompress and get away from fast-paced living is of course treating yourself to a day at the spa a short drive away. Now, I was what you may call a "spa initiate," as I've never had the luxury to treat myself to one before (let's face it - spas can be quite $$$), but I was lucky enough to receive a gift certificate at the inauguration of Boutique Spa Eastman Montreal (more on that event here), which helped bring the price down quite a bit. Of course I had to invite my sister to come along, and to my great pleasure, there wasn't a hint of hesitation on her part. We called to book a massage treatment at the Eastman location the day before, and were told we had access to the site from 9 to 6, so we decided to make a R&R day out of it!

Burnt Copper Green Eyes | Everyday Makeup Tutorial

In today's video, I show you how I make eye shadows that can look quite scary and intense in the pan super wearable, even for work or school! Sometimes just experimenting and playing around with what you have (and usually tend to stay away from) can end up creating a look that you did not expect to come out so nicely. I show you step by step how I transform from "I just rolled out of bed" to polished and ready in just a few minutes, ready to take on the day. As you will see, the key to this look is to blend, blend and blend some more to create that copper burnt effect with the duo chrome crease shadow I used.

Make Up For Ever Tease Me Berry Lip Trio Set in Passionate | Review

Oh Valentine's Day... some dread it, some love it, and then there's those of us who really look forward to it to see what makeup brands come up with *raises hand*. I'm sure by now you've all heard of the Fifty Shade of Grey trilogy, but what you might not know is that Make Up For Ever is the official makeup partner of the hottest movie to hit theaters this year on Valentine's Day. Now, I haven't read the book or plan on seeing the movie, but upon hearing about the Fifty Shades of Grey limited edition spring collection, I knew I had to share! Make Up For Ever is known to make stunning long lasting lip products, so I decided to give the new Tease Me Berry Lip Trio Set in Passionate* a try.
