I’m used to these types of cleansing brushes, but what intrigued me was this Flawless cleanse could double as both for washing your face AND applying serum. I find myself using this exclusively for applying my serum as I find my cream and sunscreen apply much better. I find this brush definitely helps with keeping my face feeling clean and I do find I have less breakouts with consistent use to help apply my serum now. -

I like this dry shampoo as it contains sustainable ingredients. I find it has a pleasant scent and does provide some texture to my hair. My one gripe is it doesn’t really absorb the oil. Although it leaves hair feeling refreshed, I can still feel and see the oil. I still like it and I will use it, but it’s definitely one of those “use the day after you shampoo your hair” and not much past that point. -

Butterly and Covergirl sent me the new Covergirl Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara to test out in exchange for my honest review. I love that this mascara contains Hyaluronic Complex and Bamboo Serum. This mascara also doesn't cause itchy eyes. Although this contains Hyaluronic Complex, I found it smudged easily. I really wanted to love this, but it just smeared and it was also tough to get off. I found I needed to use a heavy-duty oil balm and let it sit to avoid finding mascara on my eyes the next morning. I did see a bit of improvement in terms of it helping strengthen my eyelashes. I've been using it for almost 3 weeks and although they feel hydrated, I'm going to have to pass. The intent is there, but I feel having hyaluronic acids in mascara only spells trouble for smudging as the mascara won't dry and bind properly. I would be curious to see how this worked in the winter when it's drier and not humid; I feel that launching in the summer didn't give this mascara a good start. -

I received a coupon from Canada Dry and Butterly to test out and review the new Canada Dry Triple Berry Club Soda. Surprisingly I find myself liking this, as I was initially put off by the club soda aspect. This ranks up there in flavour with other sparkling water beverages. What's great as well is that it's low in sodium, unsweetened, and naturally-flavoured. As someone who doesn't drink sugary pop drinks, Canada Dry Triple Berry Club Soda gets my approval - I'll definitely be repurchasing this again! -

I got this in the Sephora Vacay all Day set. I am actually surprised how much I enjoy this product, as I am not a fan of cream blushes. However, the trick is to apply some on the back of your hand then use a stippling brush to gently work it onto the cheeks. I love that this colour (Werk) is neutral and can work with a wide array of looks - from bare face to full foundation. It doesn’t break down when stippled on top of foundation, and it does hold well. I find the colour is still there after 8+ hours of work and commuting. Although this is considered the mini size, you will definitely get bang for your buck if you apply a bit to your hand and then work it in (in place of applying directly to the skin). You can also build up how saturated the colour is with no issues. I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out! -

This primer is worth the investment. A little goes a long way and I love that it comes with a disk to help measure the product needed to scrape out. This is by far my favourite primer as it covers the face with ease, doesn’t break down, and it doesn’t cause my skin irritation or breakouts. It works well under foundation and it helps keep everything locked in place. On days where I don’t want to wear foundation, this primer is great because it helps smooth the skin and protect any face creams under it in order to promote product absorption into the skin. -

The Bobbi Brown peach colour corrector is my secret to cancelling out my dark circles. Don’t let the size fool you; a little goes a long way. One of these will last me almost 5 months, and I use it until I can’t dig any more out! I have been purchasing this since I discovered it in 2016 and is haven’t turned back. I apply it with my finger and pat it under my eye and onto my lid, as I have very dark circles and light skin (thanks, genetics). The first time I tried this was with a sample from Sephora. I had been struggling for 4 years since I got into makeup to find a way to neutralize my dark circles while preventing creasing. Enter Bobbi Brown peach colour corrector. I tried bisque on one eye and the peach on the other… bisque normally would’ve concealed, but I still had the castoff of the dark circles peeping through. The peach side not only canceled, but I immediately went to my local Sephora the same day to buy it full size. It also sits very comfortably under almost every concealer I put on top of it - if my eyes aren’t set, I know it’s the concealer and not my beloved colour corrector! -

I have been repurchasing this since I started getting into makeup in 2013. This setting spray is a holy grail for many makeup lovers for a very good reason: effectiveness. It helps to lock in your makeup without causing breakdown or greasiness and it can be used with certain glitter or shimmer shades to create a foiled or wet look. It’s also readily available for purchase and comes in mini/travel size, jumbo size, and sometimes in a set of two! -
Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer

I love this concealer because it’s one of the few that covers my dark circles. I use this on top of a colour corrector and I’ve had no issues with blending or it creasing once I put setting powder. Like any concealer, the trick is to put a bit on, then wait about 20 seconds before you blend it out and set it. I took off a star for quality because I do find that it oxidizes and pulls warm during the day. -

I bought this back in 2017 when my hands were extremely dry and cracking because I was washing a lot of dishes. I had tried so many lotions, but nothing was helping and I was starting to get a rash. A family member happened to have a small tube of this salve and immediately my skin was soothed. Within five minutes the rash was less inflamed, and the itchiness had dissipated. I went to wash dishes about 20 minutes after I put it on and I was impressed that it didn’t feel greasy! For once the product absorbed into my skin - something I’ve never really had in a salve or lotion. I went to purchase a tub and I used it every winter when I was doing holiday baking and washing dishes, or at night when my hands needed some extra care. This product will last you a loooong time! It’s worth investing in! -
