Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara – The One With The Bendable Wand!

Givenchy Noir Interdit Mascara - Review

So, a $38 mascara with a bendable wand?  Can Givenchy’s Noir Interdit mascara live up to the hype and actually get all of those lashes?  Is it worth $38? Don’t get me wrong, I will splurge on something that works for my lashes but with a short shelf life, $38 is high for mascara. I […]

Color Club Serene Green Mood Polish Swatches and Nail Art

Color Club Serene Green Nail Art

Possibly my favourite from the collection, Color Club Serene Green is not very serene nor green.  This thermal mood polish transitions from teal when warm to indigo-purple when cold.  As you can see on the brush, a nice opaque formula.  Still needs two coats for full opacity but it is beautiful.  Unlike some of the […]

Color Club Mood Polish Feelin' Myself - stamped with BMXL17 - transition

I seem to be on a bit of a pink kick lately which is weird for me as I rarely wear pink.  But Color Club Mood Polish in Feelin’ Myself changes to purple and you know I love a good purple.  This shade has a great formula, none of the brush stroke issues I experienced […]

Burlap & Twine (Hamilton Independent Business) Bath Bombs

Burlap & Twine Bath Bombs - All Types

I love supporting local businesses so am a big fan of Burlap & Twine.  It is near downtown so I can easily grab some bath bombs or other beauty goodies without a special trip to the mall.  They recently celebrated four years in Hamilton and bath bombs were half price, just $3 so I stopped […]

Wild Heather Campfire Smores Tea

Wild Heather Campfire Smores Tea - Loose Tea

I realize that lapsang souchong is not for everyone.  The smokey smell, the strong flavour, definitely an acquired taste.  But if you have ever wanted to try one, Wild Heather Tea Company’s Campfire Smores is a great starter.  With a sprinkling of cocoa nibs, chocolate chips and sugar the sweeter taste makes it the perfect […]

Craftadian Made In Hamilton Fall 2017 Show

Craftadian Made In Hamilton Fall 2017 Show

If you have been reading for a while, you will know that I love Craftadian shows.  For most things, we need to go into Toronto but Hamilton has a thriving indie maker scene and several craft shows a year.  Craftadian’s Made in Hamilton is the next one and less than a week away.  So what […]
