Well hello there! It’s been awhile! I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since my last post. My interests have ebbed and flowed, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to continue with my blog. It just might contain some different things versus my regular makeup and beauty features! With that thought in mind, I wanted to do a roundup of the best Canadian book subscription boxes that I’ve personally tried!
Dr. Belmeur has been a fave since I first tried it a couple of years ago. At the time I was dealing with combo-oily skin. In the last couple of months I have noticed my skin has changed! My T-zone has been a lot less oily and I’ve been dealing with drier skin in general. I thought I would give my review/ comparison on the two different lines of Dr. Belmeur: Clarifying (oily/combo skin) and Daily Repair (for normal – dry skin).
We’ve got a new player in the skincare game, and they’re making a splash already! The Inkey List is a British skincare brand whose aim is to break down the confusing jargon that is the skincare industry. Their prices are affordable, packaging clean, and ingredients simple. Remind you of another brand on the market? I was lucky enough to get a few products to try out. How does The Inkey List compare to The Ordinary?
One thing that I think the drugstore has an abundance of is eye makeup removers. They’re a staple pretty much through all drugstore skin brands, but how do they actually fair up to high end ones? I have three that I put to the test. I’ve used one before (Neutrogena), and the other two are new to me.
Hi there! My last post was about the new Wet n Wild Goth-o-Graphic collection. You can read all about my thoughts (along with swatches) there, but today I have a Versus post featuring one of the items from that collection. Right when I saw the Mega Glo Highlighting Stick in Hell-o Darkness* the first thing I thought was it looked EXACTLY like the Milk Makeup Holographic Stick in Supernova. So as one does, I have a full comparison of the two!
I remember recently writing that I haven’t been to the drugstore in awhile. That has seemed to rectify itself as I feel like a LOT of the products I’m reaching for are actually from the drugstore! I thought I would put together a guide of some of my favourite drugstore products that I think perform as good as high end!
It’s been a long time coming, but I FINALLY managed to get my hands on both The Ordinary Serum and Coverage foundations. If you’ve been living under the non-beauty rock, these foundations had some major hype last year! It’s mostly due to the crazy price at around $7 a bottle. I wanted to do a Versus post not only to compare them, but to also share my thoughts on both of them!
If you’ve read my Versus post comparing Urban Decay All Nighter and Deslick, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of Deslick. I’ve tried a lot of setting sprays over the years, but none have really stood up to Deslick. A place I really haven’t searched for setting sprays is the drugstore. The drugstore has been impressing me more and more lately, and I was sent three different setting sprays to test out! Let’s take these babies out for a spin!
A palette that has taken the makeup world by absolute storm is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. When I first got it, I was a bit hesitant, but after owning it for awhile now, I’m SO glad I made the purchase. It’s one of my most used palettes!
At the Wet n Wild 2018 product launch event, they were showcasing the repackaged and reformulated Color Icon eyeshadow palettes. One of the 10 pan palettes, Rose in the Air, looks SCARILY similar to Modern Renaissance. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do a versus post on them.
Something I’ve been into lately is foundations. I feel like I’ve been accumulating a lot of them, and genuinely enjoying trying all of them out. Today I wanted to pit an old favourite against a newcomer. The Make Up For Ever Ultra HD (and prior HD foundation) has had a fantastic place in my foundation lineup. I’ve actually done a Versus post on the Ultra HD and old HD formula here. At IMATS, I ended up picking the Inglot HD Perfect Coverup foundation. I mostly bought this cause I’m getting low on the MUFE Ultra HD. The claims are similar though, so I thought I might as well see how they fair against each other!
