Brand Collection: Wet n Wild 2017 Collection Favs

wet n wild

Hi friends! I recently got the chance to go to a Wet N Wild 2017 launch party and was gifted most of the new collection. Wet n Wild is a major drugstore favourite for me just because of the quality coupled with their unreal price point. The brand is cruelty free and PETA approved which also gets major brownie points. I’ve been trying out some of the products, and there are some definite wins that I wanted to share! There are face products, lip products, and a product to take it all off!

I recently found out I was picked for the BITE x Influenster campaign revealing BITE’s new lip liners! I was ecstatic to say the least! I’m excited to share my thoughts!

Bath Time with Zoella Beauty

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!

Review: belif the true cream – aqua and moisturizing bomb

belif

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!

Too Faced Sweet Peach Collection

Too Faced Sweet Peach Collection

Hi friends! So if you haven’t heard, peaches have taken over the beauty world. Back in March, Too Faced released their Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette. People went bananas (or should I say peaches?) over the palette. It was so popular that Too Faced brought it back including a slew of other products. I actually did a full review of the palette (which you can read here), so I’m just going to chat about three other products in the collection I was gifted: The Sweet Glow face palette, the Papa Don’t Peach blush, and a Creamy Peach Oil lip gloss.

Philosophy Skin Care: Bits and Bobs

philosophy skincare

Philosophy is a brand that I’ve started to really love thanks to a gift set that I got the Christmas before last. It’s a brand that I always sort of saw (anyone remember the Sephora Philosophy shower gel birthday gift?) but never really dove into. I’m going to do a short post today with mini reviews of the items. (Only been a year in the making….haha!)

Brand Overview: Maison Jacynthe

Maison Jacynthe

It’s always a treat when I can feature a Canadian brand. I was approached by Maison Jacynthe, a Quebec based company, to try out some of their cosmetics and I definitely jumped at the chance! I have three products to showcase/ review: an eyeshadow, blush and lipstick. I’ll be reviewing all three and also show how I managed to put all the products into a cohesive look.

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.

Best of Beauty 2016

Hello friends!! It’s pretty unreal to believe that it’s already the first day of 2017. As with all years, there were ups, downs, peaks and valleys. This can especially be true of the beauty world!! Today I thought I would do a recap of some of my favourite items throughout the year. These aren’t necessarily products that came out this year, but items I’ve been loving/ discovered during 2016!
