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!
Brand Collection: Gummiband Hair Cords
There’s a new hair cord company in town! If you’ve never heard of them, hair cords are pretty much the hair elastic killer. They look like a land line phone cord (remember those?) that work so much better than a traditional hair tie. Gummiband is a new hair cord brand and I was sent a very generous supply to try out and give my thoughts!
Brand Collections: Wet n Wild Goth-o-Graphic
It’s been no surprise that Wet n Wild has quickly become one of my favourite drugstore brands. The quality is top notch and they seem to introduce new collections similar to that of high end brands. Wet n Wild’s newest collection is Goth-o-Graphic which combines the pastels of spring with the 90’s gothic grunge. I was sent a few pieces in the collection and I thought I would share some thoughts!
Brand Collections: Mary Kay Spring 2018
It’s almost comforting thinking about spring, especially when winter still is in full swing! One way I get my mind on warmer thoughts is through new makeup launches! Mary Kay has a couple of new items out for spring so I thought I would share!
Brand Collections: The Ordinary Skincare
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 Collections: Hard Candy Holiday Collection
Christmas is almost here and if you’re like me, you’re just finishing up your holiday shopping. If you’re looking into some inexpensive stocking stuffers or just need a small item to finish off your list, Hard Candy has you covered. I’ll show you some of the items I got sent from their holiday collection! I haven’t tried a lot of these (since I actually plan to give them away to friends and family as well), but hope they give you some ideas for your shopping list.
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.
Brand Overview: Hard Candy SS17 Collection Hits and Misses
Hi folks! Hard Candy is a pretty new brand to me, but I’ve seen the MASSIVE hype over the years about their Glamoflauge Concealer. I’ve never tried it, but it’s supposed to be amazing! I was lucky enough to try some of their items in the Spring Summer 17 collection and thought I would share my thoughts. Some items are great, and others miss their mark a bit.
Brand Collection: Maybelline New York
A staple brand in the drugstore is Maybelline New York. They carry everything and are well known for their foundation and mascara. I mentioned recently that I really need to get back to the drugstore and try out some products. ChickAdvisor must have heard my calls cause I recently got chosen to try out a Product Review Club opportunity with Maybelline.
