Brand Collections: This Works

This Works Skincare

An age old, but rarely focused part of beauty is sleep. It is called beauty sleep for a reason! There’s so many different studies and recommendations on the value of a good night sleep. The thing is, with busy lives and even busier beauty routines, it can be hard to make it a priority. This Works is a newer brand to Canada that focuses on 24 hour skincare solutions to get you feeling your best throughout the day. I have two products that I’ve been trying out and would like to share my thoughts!

Brand Overview: The Green Beaver Company Extra Dry Skin Therapy

Hi there! So winter seems to be FINALLY packing up it’s bags and spring is coming in to stay. Even though you’d think that the driest skin would be in the harshest of climate, my skin has been going a bit haywire. I looked at my legs recently, and was treated with a not so nice sight. My skin has been flaky, especially on my legs, and I needed relief! Lucky for me, I was sent some products from The Green Beaver that specifically cater to dry skin!

I was sent a few pieces in the collection and I thought I would share some thoughts!

I recently purchased some skincare from The Ordinary and I have been trying some items out. One of my goals for the year is to not only learn more about my skin, but also try and get into a better skincare routine. The thing that I find the hardest is being consistent with it. The Ordinary has been a hyped brand due to the rock bottom prices so it seemed like a good place to turn for to a routine. I thought I’d go through my thoughts on four items that I’ve been trying out.

Brand Collection: Veil Cosmetics

Of course, I’m always down to try new brands, and I was recently introduced to Veil Cosmetics. Veil Cosmetics was created by Sebastien Tardif, a makeup artist who thought that makeup should enhance and not mask. Veil had a booth set up at IMATS this year and I actually met Sebastien himself. He was enthusiastic to share how his products are different from others on the market. I was sent some products to try as well so I thought I would give you the lowdown.
