When They Can't All Be Winners : Products That Just Didn't Work For Me

As a beauty blogger and all round makeup hoarder (the first step is admitting a problem...) it's in my nature to want to try all the latest and greatest, hyped up products out there. There are times where I've bought things because others loved them, only to be left disappointed, and other times products have been panned in reviews and I adore them! That's just life, and let's face it - they can' all be winners can they? Today's post is spotlighting five products that just didn't work for me.

Getting the Glow | Tanning Innovations from Hylamide and St Tropez

There's been some serious innovations going on in the faux glow world as of late. Orange skin and tell tale tanner smell are becoming a thing of the past and we're moving into formulas that develop faster, last longer and look more natural. I for one am always interested in adding a little glow, and there have been two recent additions to my face self tanning routine that stand apart from traditional tanning products.  

10 Bad Beauty Habits You Should Kick to the Curb

We've all got a bad habit or two, or cut the odd corner every now and then. When it comes health and beauty though, there are just some bad habits you really should cut to the curb. In fact, here's ten of them...

Online Beauty Shopping | Where to Buy What

The other day my bff asked me where the best online sites to buy makeup and beauty goodness were, and naturally I started rambling off a list of my favourite haunts. I had no doubt I overwhelmed her when she said' "maybe you can just email them to me?" which got me thinking -"Maybe I should blog about it?" So here you have it, my favourite places to shop makeup and beauty online and highlights that are worth looking at before you click, "Checkout"...

FLOPS | Beauty Letdowns for July 2014

With every month of new found, or re-found favourites, there are bound to be some flops, it's the nature of the game when you try so many new products all the time. July was no different and I have 5 beauty products just just didn't do it for me. Here's why...

FAVOURITES | 5 Favourite Beauty Products for July 2014

July seemed like one of those "all over the place" months for me, and I found myself getting a bit routine with my makeup. Not that routine is bad, but it is easy and when your other half says, "hey, lets go to Las Vegas!" and its 42 degrees outside (that upper 110's for you Americans) then routine, easy, and quick are all words that play into ones vocab. Let's take a look into the five bits I didn't want to be without this past month, shall we?

WANTED | Hard to Get Beauty Bits

Every once in a while I fall in love with reviews or raves over products, right them down on my wishlist and drool over them online, only to realize they aren't available to me here in Canada. It's a real bummer! Sometimes they make their way here eventually, and other times they never do. Here's a little list of some of the talked about bits I'm really wanting to get my hands on these days...

SEPHORA VIB | Things You Also Might Like

So in yesterday's post I waxed on about the things I hauled in the Sephora VIB sale, but here's a run down of some other recent purchases (I know, I clearly have a problem) that I am loving and wouldn't have purchased had I not already bought them... 

SEPHORA VIB | What I Bought

Sephora's annual Spring VIB sale started the other day, and you can bet your shirt that I was in there on the first day (what can I say? I hate shopping when the stock is picked over...) Stay tuned for a post about the goodies I purchased, and tomorrow about recent purchase loves that I also recommend picking up at 15% off...

CUSTOM SELF TANNING | Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster

Made to measure tanning? Why hasn't this been a thing before now? When I heard Clarins was coming out with a new tanning product I was on board before even seeing it. After discovering Clarins skin care as well as their Liquid Bronze gradual face tanner last year, I knew the brand kept their promises when it comes to easy to use affordable products that pack a punch.
