Throughout the winter, I am pretty loyal to Marcelle’s Ultra Gentle Cleansing Gel but once summer hits, it just isn’t enough for my oily t-zone and I have been trying out several skincare lines to find something that is gentle but will help remove waterproof makeup and clogged pores from sunscreen and sweat.

Stronger Healthier Nails With CND Rescue Kit
After boasting last week that my nails were growing really quickly after breaking several in the move, I managed to break two nails in the space of just a few hours and had to file them all down again. So it was the perfect time to try out the new Rescue Kit from CND. I […]

It is one of few polishes I have used the whole bottle and purchased a second. There are several polishes that I have bought a second bottle, but usually because they […]
Quo by Orly Color Amp’d Best Dressed

UNT Ready For Takeoff Peel Off Basecoat
I have wanted to try UNT Ready For Takeoff Peelable Basecoat for ages. Simply Nailogical recommended it as the best peel off basecoat (see her comparison video here) but it is not available in Canada so I held off ordering it while trying various other peel off base coats and glitter bases. Since my no-buy/low-buy […]
