PET PEEVES | Shopping The Cosmetic Counters

We've all been there - a casual browse at the beauty counters and shops only to come away with a WTF? moment. Nine out of ten times the experience is awesome, but every once in a while someone doesn't get the memo that leaves shopping for makeup a touch frustrating. 

MASCARA MONDAY | Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara

Dior's Mascara offerings are often loved and raved about, but at the $35 CND price tag I just couldn't justify the splurge. Then recently I got my paws on a mini version of it and instantly whipped out the camera to do a first impressions review...

SUNDAY STEALS | The $5 Eyeshadow Palette

I'll admit it, I am a total high end makeup snob a lot of the time, but I love a good bargain as much as the next girl! Recently in the drugstore I noticed the Essence stand had been updated and snatched up a six shadow packed palette not much bigger in size than a credit card... for five bucks!

CONDITIONER FOR YOUR SKIN? | Lush's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

The post wherein I wish smell-o-vision existed, because this stuff smells ah-mazing.  After falling in love with Lush's Rose Jam Shower Gel with annoyingly is a holiday time only product (seriously Lush, I need this all year round) I was desperate to get my hands on anything else that had that juicy genuine rose (ie not old lady rose) smell to it. Enter in a unique product that kills two birds with one stone (I promise no birds were actually harmed in the discovery or making of this product!)

REPURCHASES # 2 | So Good I Bought Them Again

I'm a self professed makeup junkie, but sometimes I come across something that is just so good I don't want to try anything else (er, ok maybe I want to try, but I also want to repurchase the product I know I love) Let's chat about five recent purchases I loved enough the first time to go another round with....

STOCKING STUFFERS SORTED | Bite Beauty Mix N' Mingle Lip Minis

It's painfully hard for me to buy beauty bits for my friends for the holidays, I just seem to want to keep everything for myself. #greedy, right? I snatched up a couple of these adorable little tree hanging stocking stuffers at Sephora the other day thinking they'd make the perfect gift...

WINTER WARDROBE | 5 Beauty Essentials

I know I know, I am gonna mention the 'W' Word : Winter. It's coming (all Game of Thrones kidding aside, it actually is, in this neck of the woods anyways) Here's 5 picks for winter beauty staples I am reaching for this year, even if Autumn is still full on...

EVERYDAY PINK LIPS | BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Speak Your Mind

I'll be the first to admit that bareMinerals isn't the first display I head for when I shop for beauty bits. Besides their Ready Eyeshadows (which are ah-mazing for the most part) I find the range not really striking a fancy in me. So when I got a chance to try a half pint version of one of their Marvelous Moxie lipsticks I took it, knowing I probably wouldn't have bought it on my own. Sometimes however, I am wrong....

SEPHORA VIB SALE | Top Beauty Picks

It might just be one of my favourite times of year; the leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and Sephora does their annual 20% off VIB/VIBRouge sale. Seriously, it's worth waiting all year for! Here are some top picks to put on your shopping list this year...

HOLIDAY 2014 | Laura Mercier Mini Caviar Stick Eye Colour Quartet

It's that time of year when all the holiday cosmetic sets and bundles hit the shelves, and I just can't resist picking up one or two to play with. Mini's and gift sets are a great way to try products out, usually at a great value. I recently took a peek at what Laura Mercier was offering this year, and happily walked away with this set of gems... 

FAVOURITES | October 2014 Monthly Favourites

Every month I pick a handful of products that made heavy rotation in my day to day routine. Sometimes they are new loves, sometimes they are rediscovered gems. 

Here's five that not only made the cut, but went above and beyond.
