I've been too swamped with work and school to continue my blog, but I'm going to try and juggle all three. With that being said, I missed out on last month's Ipsy post so I will combine both the May and June bags here! So let's get started :) May Ipsy Bag Pacifica | Luminizing Body Butter (Coconut Crushed Pearl) Full Size: 58 ml ($7) NuMe | Finishing Serum Size: 10 ml ($4.92) Full Size:...
Another monthly beauty box that started out well, but... Well, you know the rest. I'm sad to see Glossy Canada disappear and was hoping they would make a big comeback this year. Unfortunately, it won't be happening any time soon. After a month of payment issues and lack of shipping or tracking updates, Glossy subscribers were sent this email: A Glossy Goodbye Dear customers and friends, We apologize sincerely for the recent lack of communication...
As per my last post, Glymm has declared bankruptcy. With this happening, I'm sure many beauty box subscribers have doubted the reliability of such companies, but there is one who would like to save the day. Nail Polish Canada has introduced an Anti-Glymm Box Box for ex-Glymm subscribers for free! All you need is proof that you have been a Glymm subscriber within the past 4 months (receipt, subscription confirmation email, credit card statement etc.)....
Just a quick update for those who are wondering what the heck happened to Glymm. Glymm has finally posted that they are shutting down their company for good. We all knew this was coming with their horrible service and delayed boxes. Unfortunately, Glymm has cut off all ties to social media sites and can only be contacted by email. Glymm did not address whether refunds will be issued or not, so for those who have...
Flare and H&M recently had a little event in Toronto and I was lucky enough to win tickets to go from Flare. One of the Toronto H&M's were closed to the public for the evening while those who were invited to the event got to go and shop with a 15% discount on regular priced items. This event was to promote the new program H&M launched which gives you the option to donate clothing (in...
I wasn't sure if I was getting a box this month because I unsubscribed in January and didn't know when they charged for the next box. I received some emails regarding shipping but still haven't even received the tracking information for this box. I went to get the mail anyways and there it was! Here's what I got in this month's Luxe Box. Bourjois | Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation (53-Light Beige) Full size: 30...
I've decided to try and attempt chevron nails without using tape because it can be hard cutting tape without it sticking together. I looked around my room and found those hole punch stickers which I never ever use. Turns out that they're really good because you can use the edges as a guide to cut the corners and will almost always end up with the perfect V. I finally remembered to take pictures along the...
My boyfriend recently purchased a Julep gift card for me when they had the buy $50 for $25 promo so I was waiting to spend some of it in the Secret Store since the gift cards are not valid on subscriptions. Julep's Secret Store is open on the 1st of every month an contain a lot of good package deals. The catch is that the store is "supposed" to be only open for those who...
This week I kept it simple with Julep's Lynn and Sally Hansen's Golden-I for my accent nail. When I initially saw Lynn, I wasn't very fond of the colour because it seemed like a sheer and shimmery pink. I hate polishes that go on sheer because it looks so nice in the bottle but takes 10 coats on the nails for the same colour. Lynn proved me wrong, I only needed 2 coats of Lynn...
Spring is right around the corner and I think transitioning from deep to vibrant polishes is the best way to start off the season! Here I am wearing My Lifesaver by OPI which is a beautiful opaque mint blue. On my ring finger, I drew a cherry blossom branch, mimicking Arizona's Green Tea design. These are all the polishes I used to create this simple look. I used Revlon's Calcium Gel Hardener as a base...
Last week, Pink Beryl emailed Loose Button past and present subscribers and offered a free pair of stockings for 24 hours. I jumped on the chance and was amazed that when they meant free, they literally meant free! No shipping charges or additional monthly purchases needed. For those who don't know, Pink Beryl is a monthly subscription for stockings where you can choose 1 pair a month ($12) or 2 pairs a month ($20). To...
