HAIR - Color Oops and Splat

October 26, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
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.

NOTD - Dare To Wear's Concrete Jungle

October 12, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
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? ...

MAKEUP - Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick

October 09, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
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...

LIFE - PerlaCoco : Oil Pulling Reinvented

October 07, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
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...

BODY - LUSH Limited Edition Halloween Collection #lushoween

October 05, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
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...
