This month I managed to finish quite a bit of product and am so proud of my slowly diminishing stash of beauty products. Hooray to a great way to end 2015! This month's empties post has full size and sample size empties as well as tosses - onto the list! Full Sized Items: Garnier Fructis Style Curl Calm Down Anti Frizz Cream I don't have curly hair, but my hair definitely does get frizzy. I...
I saw this Broken Glass Manicure tutorial by CutePolish on Youtube and decided to try it myself. I think these would be the perfect nails to ring in the New Year and they just look so cool! To achieve this look, you'll need: Clear Polish Pieces of cut up translucent/opal cellophane Thin stick - I used a small dotting tool I used black and white nail polish as the base for this look. Once the...
LUSH has a huge selection of cosmetics, making it the perfect place to shop for gifts - especially last minute ones. For Christmas, LUSH has quite a bit of limited edition products starting from $4.95 and pre-wrapped gifts from $14.95 to $329.95! Among the many festive products, here are the ones that really caught my eye. Joy To The World Wrapped Gift - $19.95 Joy To The World contains a tub of Love and Light Hand Cream...
Essence hosts a lot of social media giveaways and I recently won one via their Instagram! Due to a very long delivery time (like 3 weeks), Essence sent me two prizes which include: Metal Glam Eyeshadow - Chocolate Jewelery All About Eyeshadow - Chocolates Silky Touch Blush - Adorable XXXL Shine Lipgloss - Just Georgeous XXXL Nude Lipgloss - Just Nude Long Lasting Eye Pencil - Hot Chocolate Long Lasting Lipstick - It's Nude Time...
Eep! I finished TWO full sized products this month! AREN'T YOU PROUD OF ME?! (Sorry for the photo quality, I'm still trying to figure out why it's so different!) Full Sized: Softsoap Body Butter Coconut Scrub This is one of my favourite body washes! It doesn't leave you that dry feeling you have when using soap, and it has exfoliating apricot seed powder. Covergirl Ink It! Perfect Point Plus Pencil Eyeliner Very easy to use...
Here's a small recap of LUSH's amazing Christmas event that I was able to visit last month. This event was so fun, filled with activities and treats. There was a Soap Bar with so many pretty and fragrant soaps. Vanessa from Citron and Guavaberry pointed out that they looked a lot like cheese wheels, which turns out to be the inspiration of Yog Nog, Snowcake and Old Father Time. Others soaps included Reindeer Rock and...
Here is Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel polish in Red Eye. It's an glossy candy apple red and applies super opaque - I used 2 coats, but one will do it too! Let's be friends! Bloglovin' | Instagram | Twitter ...
Last month, Chick Advisor hosted a Shop Crawl at Dufferin Mall in Toronto. Tickets were $20 and included a free tea from David's Tea, a $10 gift card to Winners/Marshalls and a stamp card, sort of like a passport, with discounts at participating stores. Honestly, I didn't think I would buy anything, but I found so many good deals, especially at the Gap Factory Store ($30 jeans?! Say whattt!!!). The stamp card encouraged attendees to...
I have been dying to get my hands on one of Urban Decay's Naked Flush palettes, and when Native went on sale I jumped at the opportunity. Urban Decay's Naked Flush palettes contain a bronzer, highlighter and a blush to create the perfect travel palette. The colours in this palette compliment each other fairly well. The powders are pressed together, so there isn't a separation barrier between the three powders. The bronzer is a beautiful...
One of Bzzagent's most recent campaign was the CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara, and just in time as I was deciding which mascara to use for the Fall! Covergirl's LashBlast Clump Crusher is definitely one of the most raved drugstore mascaras, but I decided to pick Fusion because it's supposed to provide volume and length - exactly what I need for my short straight lashes. I'll be honest - I have yet to find much of...
October has gone - which means an empties post! I'll admit, I got REALLY lazy with my, erm, maintenance this month. I didn't finish any full sized items, but I got through a couple samples. PROGRESS! Samples: Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash Clinique Step 3 Clarifying Lotion Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo & Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask Sampar Ultra Hydrating Fluid Salvador Dali ItIsDream...

These boxes are $19.99 a month (with $3 shipping across Canada) and are packed with essentials as well as chocolate, tea, bath and body products and other treats. The best part is that these boxes are customizable to your preferences and any food allergies you may have. Onto the box! I'm a pads kind of girl, so that's what...
I finally got a chance this month to test out Color Oops and Splat in Lusty Lavender! I'm familiar with Splat because I often pass by their product line in Shoppers Drug Mart, but this was my first time hearing of Color Oops. Just a note: although this isn't recommended, I did this whole dye job on the same day, I just changed my shirt throughout the process. Color Oops is a hair colour remover that honestly...
Halloween is just around the corner, and nothing completes an amazing costume like a pair of amazing eyes. Spooky Eyes has got you covered with their HUGE selection of Colored Contact Lenses, and all for under $30 a pair! I was lucky enough to receive the Glimmer Gold contact lenses. I thought these would be great for my Mystique costume this year, but I was a bit worried about how and if the colour would show on dark brown eyes....
This week, I chose Dare To Wear's Concrete jungle, a blue toned grey. I've noticed that not many polishes come in grey, so I went on a hunt at IMATS last year and this was the closest to a true grey that I could find. In honor of Pink October, I decided to paint a pink ribbon on both my ring fingers. What do you think about grey polish? ...
I have been dying to get my hands on Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks for a while now, but unfortunately they are not sold in Canada. I finally picked some up in the States at Macy's for $20 each. At first I was a little gobsmacked at the price - $20 for this tube of lip gloss?! But then I had to remind myself, they're lipsticks, and matte ones at that. It took me forever...
Oil pulling has been around for a very long time, but has now gained popularity. Oil pulling is basically when you swish coconut oil in your mouth, which traps things such as bacteria or tiny food particles stuck between your teeth and gums, and you just spit it out. It helps whiten and clean your teeth. Not only is it all natural, but it doesn't damage your teeth like mouthwash does, so it's a great...
This October, LUSH is releasing Limited Edition Halloween Collection nationwide and online! I was drawn to the Pumpkin Heebie Jeebie and the Nightwing Shower Jelly. The Pumpkin Heebie Jeebie is so cute - and I think it's a great gift for a Halloween lover or a party prize. It contains the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar and the Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb. The Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar has such a strong but pleasant grapefruit scent...
