I have been looking forward to the new releases of polishes. While there are some outstanding shades in the winter/holiday collections, very few of them screamed buy the whole collection to me. So when this picture of the new Zoya Whispers collection showed up in my inbox with pretty but everyday wearable shades, I was happy […]

December Birchbox Inspired Nail Art
My December Birchbox arrived just as I was about to sit down to do my nails. The packaging was so cute, I decided to do some nail art inspired by my Birchbox. The outside of the box is white with a silver embossed design. Not really sure what the yellow is about, I think it […]

Crabtree & Evelyn Festive Favourites Nail Polish Swatches
As much as I love nail polish, I am always coming across brands I never knew had polish lines. I recently received a press release for Crabtree & Evelyn Festive Favourites, four new nail polishes for the holidays. Since the store near me had closed down, they are not as visible, but it turns out […]

Essence Mountain Calling Nail Art
Last month, Essence’s Mountain Calling collection finally made its way to Canada. I always want new Essence collections because they are amazing for the budget price tags and always such cute colours, but this collection came with socks, so I stalked my local Shoppers Drug Mart stores until my favourite cashier said they were in the […]

The colder weather just screams for warm baths, but my Lush obsession gets a little expensive so I thought I would try a few alternatives. I picked up Barefoot Venus Wild Flower Bath Bliss without really reading any reviews and expected a bath bomb or something with bubbles and “stuff”. Opening it up, I found […]

My THEFACESHOP Advent Calendar Days 7 to 12
Last week, I posted the first six days of my THEFACESHOP advent calendar. I was fairly impressed with the samples from the first six days, with the exception of the nail polish (I like their polish, just not that colour) they are all items I would have picked up in-store. Now I have the […]
Steel City Reflections Winifred Sanderson Swatches
When Sarah from Workaday Beauty posted a swatch of Steel City Reflections’ Winifred Sanderson, I had to have it. Not only is Steel City Reflections local, but blue and green holo is beautiful. Steel City Reflections made The Sanderson Sisters based on the Hocus Pocus movie. I have had them for a while but only just […]
Almay Makeup Clearance Haul
It has been a while since I posted a Thrifty Thursday post, and Blogmas is the perfect time to get back into it. Shoppers Drug Mart is clearing out Almay Cosmetics. They are not going to carry it anymore (rumour is that they are making space for NYX which is awesome but my local store […]
