Cleansing oils have become quite popular and why not? Who doesn't dread removing their makeup at the end of a long day? Cleansing oils work double time by removing dirt and makeup while keeping your skin hydrated. At this year's L'Oreal Warehouse Sale, I managed to snag two bottles of Garnier's Nourishing Cleansing Oil for the price of one. Without the deal, it is still a super affordable cleansing oil. This cleansing oil contains jojoba and macadamia...

I was invited to attend the Maille Flavour Studio at Taste of Toronto (June 23-26). Here, you can sample their many mustards (Dijon, Honey Mustard, Original, etc.) or their gourmet ones (Truffle and Wine, Noix, Blue Cheese, etc.) as well as the option of purchasing these mustards. Mustard Sommelier Harry Lalousis was a guest at Maille and hosted workshops on the hour about different topics such as dips and marinades.  For a small fee of...

TRESemme has completely changed how I wash my hair with the Beauty-Full Volume Collection. This collection uses a "Reverse Wash" system where you condition prior to shampooing - I know it sounds a bit crazy but it works and I don't think I can go back!

(Of course I totally forgot what it was...) But it really made me realize, who cares if what I...

I found that this colour took a bit longer to dry and needed thicker coats to prevent streakiness - both of which I do not have patience for. It took about half an hour for both coats to...

Thierry Mugler’s Angel Eau Sucree (1.7 fl oz / $78) comes in a gorgeous blue star shaped bottle with textured points. This scent is supposed to be the sweeter version of the original Angel fragrance. It has notes of red berry sorbet, caramelized meringue, patchouli, and vanilla.  Although the description and notes of the fragrances sound very sweet, the fragrance itself is actually pretty musky. I’m not sure if it’s the patchouli because I’ve never...

I'll admit, I cheated a little bit this month. I'm currently in Ottawa until mid June, studying French via Explore, so these are products I finished and tossed before I left.
