When I saw Zoya Lake in person, I knew I had to have it, Lake appears almost grey in some light and more blue in others making it very wearable. Zoya Lake is part of the 2016 Whispers collection which arrived in stores in early February. When I saw the press release for this collection, […]

Zoya Beatrix Pixie Dust – Mariposa Glitter Dupe
As I mentioned when I reviewed the rest of the Mariposa glitter polishes recently, the orange would be featured separately and here it is. On swatching it, I realized that while not a dupe, it is very close to Zoya Beatrix, one of their Pixie Dust polishes. Both have a similar tangerine tone, Mariposa is […]
My March Empties
I always think to myself that I should keep my empties to do an end of month empties post, but our place is tiny and keeping the extra clutter doesn’t make sense. For March, I put a bag on the inside of my closet to remind me to keep them, so here it is – […]
Keeping Skincare Simple
I love Bioderma’s micellar water but am always on the hunt for cheaper alternatives to my favourites. It gives me more money to spend on things I love, like nail polish! I tried Simple’s micellar water a few months ago and really liked it so when Chick Advisor had a product review club opportunity for […]

Mariposa Glitter Polishes – Dollarama Find
I was quite impressed with the original set of Mariposa polishes I tried, even though their long wear polish was not great so I thought I would give them another chance. This latest Dollarama find is their glitter polishes. A set of 6 mini polishes for $3. These have a sand/pixie dust type feel to […]

Prevent Your Nail Polish From Chipping and Peeling
I have probably mentioned this hundreds of times, but I am hard on my nails. Yes, I love my nail polish and probably change the colour and design 4 times a week but part of this is necessity. My nails and I do not always get along and no matter how careful I am, the […]
Palette Bingo Nail Art – Mi Vida Loca Palette
Some of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers are playing palette bingo. Over the last week, they created looks with the Kat von D Mi Vida Loca palette. Since I don’t own it, I decided to join in the palette bingo challenge with a nail look using similar colours. The chosen colours were: Destroyer (red), Echo (bright purple), […]
