THEFACESHOP Advent Calendar Days 1-6

TheFaceShop Advent Day 3

So only a week in and I already suck at the Blogmas goal of a post a day until Christmas, this should have gone up yesterday but someone has man flu and needed looking after all day.  You know, because when normal people don’t feel great, they still have to get things done.  But when […]

Birchbox November 2015 Sample Choice Unboxing & Review

Birchbox November 2015 - All Products

I really should get to reviewing my subscription boxes earlier, but at least I did it before the next one arrived this time.  This is my November Birchbox, the first time they had Sample Choice in Canada, which I jumped on.  The Sample Choice item was one of Birchbox’ house brands, LOC curated with Tati […]

November Ipsy Glambag Unboxing

Ipsy November 2015 All products beauty blast

I am still not sure how I feel about my November ipsy glambag.

Mariposa Nail Polish – The Coloured Foils

How Many White Nail Polishes Do You Need?

White Nail Polishes essie essence sally hansen

As I took photos of the latest Essence Mountain Calling collection, my boyfriend asked me “how any white nail polishes do you need?”. While I am impressed he can even tell that the bottle is not the same each time, the answer is, not as many as he thinks I have but a few.  I […]

My 2015 Advent Calendars

Beauty Tea Advent Calendars TheFaceShop Benefit Hard Candy DavidsTea

Last year was my first year with beauty advent calendars.  I got the advent calendar from The Body Shop and enjoyed having a whole month of beauty stuff to open.  This year, it has doubled in price so I decided against getting one and picked up the DAVIDsTEA 24 Days of Tea instead.  Then I […]

My Annabelle Favourites

Annabelle Faves

Annabelle (and their sister company Marcelle) are offering a massive 40% off for Black Friday, so I thought I would share some of my Annabelle favourites to help you decide what to buy. Annabelle True Skin Foundation: While this is not my all time favourite foundation, I use it a lot for daily use.  I love […]
