First Impressions: Fenty Beauty Moroccan Spice Palette

August 4, 2018 No Comments

I don’t even remember the last time I’ve bought something from Sephora. The releases just used to come and the wallet just used to be out. After buying the house though, I’ve just naturally stepped it down a bit. I will have to say though, I haven’t seen any launches that really excited me to push the boundaries of my finances. The Fenty Beauty Moroccan Spice Palette definitely has been the one thing to catch my eye in the last little bit. The flow of the colours just really got me excited. My boyfriend (with some strategic help) surprised me with the palette for our anniversary gift! I thought I’d show you some swatches and my first impressions of the palette.

Review: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Acne Skincare Routine

July 24, 2018 1 Comment

One thing that I feel like I’m always battling with is acne. I’ve mentioned in a couple of posts about my adult hormonal acne that doesn’t seem to want to leave! When I was sent the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Acne line, I was curious about how it would work. I’ve used this now for around a month and was pleasantly impressed!

Review: Fancii Rhea Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush

July 3, 2018 No Comments

Facial cleansing devices are everywhere in the market, but it seem to be only populated with a couple of key brands. Fancii, a new-to-me company, reached out wondering if I’d like to try a few items! I was instantly drawn towards the Rhea Facial Cleansing Device. It’s deep cleaning with two different sides (one for deep pore cleansing and one for a regular facial cleanse) and no brushes to replace! I’ve been using it for a few weeks and happy to share my review!

Hello! It’s been some time since my last empties! (I feel like I’m always saying that haha). I have the usual suspects such as face wipes and cotton rounds, but a few really great face masks, hair items, and cleansers to show you as well!

First Impressions: Supergoop But First, Sunscreen Kit

May 25, 2018 No Comments

My last review was from my Disney Springs haul, and I’m continuing the trend. Today I have a first impressions of the Supergoop! But First, Sunscreen kit. I picked this up mostly because I’ve heard so many good things about the brand and they don’t sell it in Canada! 🙁 I was curious to test if the hype was real or not and this little kit seems like a great way to see!

Review: Drunk Elephant T.L.C Sukari Babyfacial

May 23, 2018 No Comments

During my trip to Disney Springs, the one thing I knew I wanted was the Drunk Elephant T.L.C Sukari Babyfacial. It’s only sold in the States so that made it all the more alluring. I’ve been back from Disney for a little over a month and have been trying this for about the same time. I’m excited to let you know if this is really worth the hype!
