This season, Quo has released 27 gifts sets that everybody can enjoy - and here is a look at 4 of the 27. These gift sets are sold exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart across Canada.

This Fall, GOSH Cosmetics launched a bunch of new products for their core line and keeping up to date with the matte and highlighting trends! Because they launched quite a bit of products, I'm going to cover eye and lip products in this post. First up is the new 9 Shades To Be Cool in Copehagen ($20) eyeshadow palette. This palette features nine matte shadows inspired by the Nordic Lights. The nine shadows are cool toned and...
Back it again with another Mani Monday! This Mani Monday features Essence's Gel Nail Polish in Be Awesome Tonight!, a pretty light pink polish. This colour was released for this Fall and this Fall only. I've previously expressed my love for Essence's gel polishes, but this one just doesn't cut it for me. I find the application streaky and uneven - like most white based polishes. How do you even out streaky nail polish? I...
Elle Canada hosted their Style Wrap Party (tickets were $40+tax each) last month in Toronto at District 28 with a special appearance from Estee Lalonde. I was particularly interested and excited to meet Estee because I’ve been a fan of her YouTube channel for quite some time now. Upon arrival, guests were greeted to an open bar featuring Girls Night Out wines and Vita Coco waters as well as a photo booth and makeup touch-ups...
In this month's Topbox, I received: Marcelle 3-in-1 Lumi Power Anti-Age and Anti-Fatigue cream (7 ml $4.54) Make Up Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 117 (5 ml $8.66) I love MUFE's foundation, but this is far from my skin tone. Maybe I can use this as a highlight. BVspa by Bon Vital Body Lotion in Pink Grapefruit (30 ml $1.52) Gorge* I'll make you look amazing daily spray (1 oz $8.11) I'm excited to try this conditioning...
With school starting in September, my month has been crammed with studying, working and emptying! Here's what I managed to finish off this past month! Rating Guide: ☆ - All aboard the nope train! ☆☆ - Meh... It's okay ☆☆☆ - YAAASSSSSS!! Sample Size TRESemme Platinum Strength Shampoo & Conditioner ☆☆ Full Size LUSH Nightwing Shower Jelly ☆☆☆ I love, love, LOVE this shower jelly! It smells exactly like those gummy coke bottles. At first I wasn't quite...

This is my first time trying the Essence Gel polishes, and I've got to say I'm pretty impressed. Retailing at $2.99, these gel polishes are probably the best deal out there. They dry fairly quickly, apply smoothly, and lasted about a week for me. I'm wearing the shade Grey Zone, which is a gorgeous light grey. This is not yet in stores but will be released as part of Essence's Fall/Winter 2016 Collection and this...
This month was a slow month for empties, but I managed to finish some full sized items! Rating Guide: ☆ - All aboard the nope train! ☆☆ - Meh... It's okay ☆☆☆ - YAAASSSSSS!! Sample Size Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Retexturizing Pad ☆ This is like a toner pad, but I found the formula stung my skin so I'm not a fan. Full Size Onyx Professional 100% Pure Acetone ☆☆ LUSH Cup O' Coffee Face and...
This end of Summer break is near, and I thought it would be a great idea to share my favourite Quo products that I’ve been using this Summer! First up is the Summer 2016 Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette in Sea Sun Sand ($18). This palette is a gorgeous neutral and compact palette – great for everyday and on the go wear. Most of the shades are matte, with a slight shimmer to three dark brown...
Earlier this Spring (I know,,, I’m super late…), Sephora released the Chic It Easy set. This is my first purchase from the Sephora sets and I'm pretty happy with it. Through the enablers and deal finders of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers Network, I was able to get this set for only $33 due to a mispricing on their website. This set was worth it even without the discount, retailing for $56 and containing two full...
Micellar water is a great way to gently cleanse and refresh the skin – and to combine micellar water with cleansing wipes is kind of genius. I was a bit weary to try the Simple Micellar Make-Up Removing Wipes because for some reason the Simple Eye Make-Up Remover burns my eyes, but these wipes were a-ok! These wipes do the job and don’t leave that sticky feeling that tends to happen with make-up removing wipes...
School starts again in two weeks and I’m actually so excited! I’ve been spending my Summer working, so going back to school will be a nice little break for me. One thing I don’t have to worry about in preparation for school is make-up, because Quo has me covered with their Back to School Collection. This limited edition collection contains: Daily Beauty Palette ($42.00) This palette is huge, containing 28 eyeshadows, 7 eyeliners and 3...
I am a huge fan of Korean food, but one dish that hasn't quite won my heart yet is bibimbap. Bibimbap is literally translated to "mixed rice", and is usually served in a hot stone bowl with various veggies, a sunny side egg and gochujang (a Korean hot sauce). Enter Bi Bim Bap, a restaurant that adds a twist to this Korean staple. Bi Bim Bap provides various Korean dishes and allows diners to choose what...
I can't believe it's already August! I don't know about you guys, but my summer just flew by - especially since all I've done so far is work... And catch Pokemon... But that's besides the point! Another month by means another Topbox - woohoo! In this month's Topbox, I received: Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Foundation Primer (7 ml $11.66) I actually have a wedding to go to this weekend, so YASSSS to this product!...
After a couple months of tracking my empties and tosses, I feel like I should only buy sample sizes of products now. It feels so satisfying knowing that I used something up rather than letting it sit in a corner forever. With that being said, there a some more sample I've used this month, so let's get into it! Rating Guide: ☆ - All aboard the nope train! ☆☆ - Meh... It's okay ☆☆☆ -...
Another year, another birthday and another gift from Sephora! This year, members can choose a gift from either Marc Jacobs or Fresh. I decided to go with the Marc Jacobs set because I have already tried the Fresh Soy Cleanser. The Marc Jacobs gift comes with a deluxe sample of the Highliner Gel Crayon in Blaquer and Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Based on the weight, the Lipstick is worth...
