Review: MyChelle Clear Skin Line

MyChelle Clear Skin

Hi friends! It’s been some time! Coming at you today with a review of a skincare line I’ve been trying out. MyChelle is a relatively new brand to Canada, but I’ve tried a couple things from them that I’ve really liked! (a few items I reviewed can be found here). They have a line specifically for oily/acne prone skin that I’ve been lucky enough to try out!

Event Recap: Inglot Aquastic Launch + Swatches

inglot aquastic

I recently had the privilege to attend a launch event at Inglot. If you’ve never heard of the brand you need to fix that ASAP. I discovered them in 2015 when they first opened up a store in Toronto. I wrote up a blog post at the time (apologies for the shoddy pictures) based on some of their eyeshadows! Definite loves!

The launch event was for their new Aquastic line of creme eyeshadows. I have minimal experience with creme eyeshadows, but I’m in LOVE with metallics so I was excited to check them out!

My Green Beauty Travel Picks

Hello friends! As some of you may know, I’ve been travelling up north for work. During the summer it wasn’t so bad, but during the winter?! Eek. Cold and snowy are an understatement. Even as we (somewhat) move into spring, they keep the hotel so DRY. Dry to the point I actually got a nosebleed and my skin was cracking. I recently received some samples from green beauty brands, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Most products are moisturizing-focused, so I was able to let out sigh of relief! I have definitely tested these under some harsh conditions and wanted to share!

Bath Time with Zoella Beauty

Up until about last year, I thought baths were a waste of time. I remember taking one thinking….so this is it? I just laid there for a bit thinking….so….what do I do now? After discovering Lush and their bath goodies though, I soon changed my tune. I now use baths as a way to unwind and actually meditate for a bit.

Since I’m a bath-convert now, I’ve been looking for items to spice up my time in the tub. I was given the opportunity to try two items from the Zoella Beauty Sweet Inspirations line. Both bath-centric items piqued my interest as they seem different compared to a straight bath bomb. I’m excited to share my thoughts!

Hello friends! Today I have an exciting post on the Korean skincare brand, belif. After a recent trip to THEFACESHOP, I got a foil packet of the true cream – aqua bomb. The sample left such an impression on me that I immediately started looking into the brand. I received two true creams, the aqua bomb and the moisturzing bomb to try out. Can’t wait to share what I think!

First Impression: Too Faced x Kat von D Better Together Palette

Too Faced x Kat Von D Better Together

Too Faced and Kat Von D are both heavyweight brands in the beauty world. When I first heard that these two brands were doing a collaboration back in August, I was definitely intrigued. I would say I’m more familiar with the Kat Von D brand compared to Too Faced, but with the Sweet Peach Collection, I can definitely say I’ve dived right into the brand with no looking back!

The Better Together kit includes two separate palettes that can be combined with magnets in the spine including a full sized KVD Tattoo liner and Too Faced Better than Sex mascara. I took some time deciding if I was going to get this kit at $80 CAD. I finally caved because I’m a sucker for limited edition sets. Do I think it’s worth it though? Lets get on with the first impressions.

Haul: ColourPop Black Friday Sale

colourpop haul

One of the frenzied Black Friday purchases I made was from ColourPop. It’s been quite a while since I purchased from the brand just because the Canadian dollar has been so bad lately (my last ColourPop haul can be seen here). I wasn’t planning to make a purchase on Black Friday, but I got the sale email and couldn’t resist. The lip products were 20% off  and I have been eyeing their metallic lips for some time. So…perfect excuse amirite?
