I love finding local makers for my beauty supplies. You can find some really unique handmade/indie products plus what you save on shipping buying locally, you can spend on actual stuff! The upcoming Craftadian show at McMaster Innovation Park on Saturday 27th August featured a couple of beauty makers that I was keen to check […]

Avon Mark. Touch and Glow Cream Shimmer Bars
My pale skin sticks out in summer. In winter, no one really notices, everyone else is paler so you don’t seem quite so pale. But in summer, Irish skin is so noticeable. So I try to add as much colour as possible while still looking natural but it can be hard adding multiple products which […]
The Body Shop Summer Essentials
Last week I shared some of The Body Shop’s Summer Essentials for your face and today I have some of my favourites for the body to share. Summer is all about fresh looking skin and since I am pale and need to fake tan, major exfoliation! On top of that, spending the summer in sandals […]
The Body Shop Summer Essentials For Your Face
We all have things we can’t live without and while some are staples for us, others change by the season. Bronzer for example is a summer must have for me so I don’t look like a ghost while all year round, I look for anything to help my skin which likes to take combination to […]
Avon Skin So Soft Firm & Restore

We have all heard the reports of how microbeads are bad for the environment. The Canadian government recently added microbeads to their list of toxic substances under the Environmental Protection Act. Many brands were already pulling microbeads from products or plan to over the next few years as they reformulate their products and bring out new […]

June Favourites
I skipped empties last month since we dumped a lot of close to empty stuff ahead of the move and while I have some to share, thought I would talk about some of my favourites this month first. A few of these are press samples (marked *), but ones I truly loved and will buy […]
Don’t Fry – Wear Sunscreen
If you didn’t know, today is Don’t Fry Day because as the weather warms up, we need a reminder to slather on that sunscreen. As a pale girl (ghostly pale to pink), I will burn in minutes without at least SPF30 so I layer it on from sunscreen to SPF additives in makeup or skincare. […]
