Revlon's Colorstay Gel Envy nail polishes ($6.99 each) are one of the few gel polishes in drug stores right now that don't require a curing light, but do need both a colour base and a top coat for the salon look. Thanks to recommendations from fellow bloggers, I got a couple and I'm in love. Today, I will be rockin' Wild Card. The base color Wild Card is a muted royal purpleish blue - it's one...
Another year gone, another year older, another Birthday Gift from Sephora! This year’s birthday gift for Beauty Insiders contains two mini NARS Lip Pencils. To be honest, I have never tried any of NARS’ lip products so this was a great way to start. The two Lip Pencils in this year's Beauty Insider Birthday Gift: Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella – scarlet red Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien – rose pink I love that...

A little background on my acne: I’ve always struggled with acne since I was in Grade 5 and it’s been an ongoing battle.

You have until the first day of fall- September 23 to make as much progress as you can...
I was browsing the aisles in search of a dry shampoo and noticed the new Pantene's Root Reboot Dry Shampoo ($4.96). Unfortunately, this dry shampoo didn't reach my expectations. (Sorry for the stock photo, but I was pretty upset at the product and threw it in the trash right away LOL). The first time I used this, it worked really well! The scent was fresh and it made my hair look less greasy, but it left a...
Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes ($7.97 each) launched quite some time ago and I received a couple, courtesy of Influenster. I love minty greens and blues on nails, especially for Spring and Summer, which is exactly what Jaded is - a muted mint green with blue-grey undertones. I decided to pair this with a clear and sparkly accent nail. I found that Jaded goes on pretty sheer - my nails have 3 coats applied. This isn't...
