best of 2018: makeup edition

Image
Last year I did some posts on my favourite skincare and makeup products of 2017 so I thought I'd do another for 2018! One of my goals from last year was to step out of my comfort zone with my makeup and I definitely feel like I was able to do that by incorporating more colour into my looks! Primer Glossier Priming Moisturizer I didn't really know whether to include this product in my skincare or makeup post but since I usually use it as a base for makeup I thought I'd add it here. I really love how moisturizing this product is and it also helps to reduce any redness I might be having. Foundation Cle Cosmetics CCC Cream I included this in my favourites from last year but it's so good that I had to include it again! I love how it gives the skin such a dewy skin-like finish and gives light to medium coverage without feeling heavy. Concealer Glossier Stretch Concealer This concealer is amazing! Like the Cle CCC Cream, it gives t...

a last minute gift guide

Image
Exams are almost over and I've been watching lots of Christmas movies and listening to my Christmas playlist on repeat for a few months now so I thought I'd put together a last minute gift guide! I always love scrolling through other peoples gift guides and find them super helpful so hopefully, this one will give you some ideas! Under $25 One of my favourite lip products is the  Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb   (C$23). It comes in three different colours that are all super flattering for all skin tones! They look really good by themselves and also layered on top of other lip products! Candles make such a good gift and the  Gourmand Candles   from Urban Outfitters (C$16) are amazing!  I would be happy with getting anything from Glossier as a gift but the  Balm Dot Coms  (C$15), in particular, are really amazing! Especially coconut and birthday cake!  ps, you can get 10% off your first Glossier order with my link...

I can't believe it's almost the end of the semester already, exams are coming way too fast! I'll definitely be posting a gift guide soon but in the meantime, I thought I'd share a few things I've been loving from this month! ps, t his blog post was sponsored by EOS and Her Campus Media! All opinions and thoughts are my own as always! Beauty I've been doing a lot of face masking this month and my favourites have been the  AHA Brightening Mask   from Dr Roebuck's and the  Mega Greens Galaxy Pack   from Glossier. They're such a good duo to detoxify and brighten! Keeping my skin super moisturized is super important to me in these colder months so I've been relying on a few products from EOS to do that! The  Vanilla Bean Lip Balm   and  Tropical Mango Lip Balm   both smell amazing and are super easy to throw into my bag or pocket when I'm heading out. The  Pomegranate Raspberry Shaving Cream ...

a few products i've been loving lately

Fall is finally here and I can't believe it's already midterm season! To procrastinate studying I thought I'd put together a post of some things I've been loving lately! Fragrance Glossier You   is my go-to scent for the fall season! It smells really clean, warm and super subtle which I love! Lazy Sunday Morning  is a scent that I unironically love to wear on Sundays. It truly smells exactly how the perfect Sunday feels! Another scent I've been loving lately is  Pistachio Brûlée   from Urban Outfitters! It smells really sweet and warm so it's perfect for sunnier days! Makeup My makeup lately has been pretty simple! Usually, I use the  Clé Cosmetics CCC Cream ,  Glossier Cloud Paint   in puff or haze,  Glossier Lidstar   in lily or slip and the  YSL Tint-in-Balm   in 01. I've also been obsessed with the  BH cosmetics ItsMyRayeRaye Palette   from Urban Outfitters! ...

june favourites

I kind of can't believe it's already July and summertime! I've been off from university for a few months now and I've been doing a lot of relaxing and also preparing to move into my first apartment in August which I'm super excited about! I've been picking up a lot of cute home decor pieces so I'm planning a post for that but in the meantime..here are my June favourites! Beauty I've been really into blush and highlighter lately, more specifically the Milk Makeup Blush Oil in Crave and the  Liquid Strobe in Aura  . They blend super easily and the colours are so pretty! My favourite summer fragrance is  Beach Walk   since it reminds me so much of being at the beach. It smells like sunscreen and sunshine (if sunshine had a scent lol). My skincare favourites from June are both Caudalie products! The  Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet   is so hydrating and smells amazing and the  Grape Water   is perfect for s...

stylekorean: glowing clover review

Image
I recently got the chance to try and review some products from the website  Stylekorean   who have a huge selection of korean skincare and makeup from various brands! I have been slowly getting into kbeauty recently so this was a great chance to try out some different things! Benton Tea Tree Cleansing Water I really like using this cleansing water since it is super soothing and hydrating! I use it after cleansing with Glossier's Milky Jelly to make sure all my makeup is off. It also smells amazing (as does pretty much everything in this post haha) Hyggee All-In-One H2 Soap I wasn't a huge fan of this soap mostly because I don't think bar products are the greatest thing to use on your face (it just doesn't seem that sanitary) although my skin did feel super clean and soft after using it. Heimish All Clean Green Foam Cleanser This cleanser is one of my new favourites! It's great for the morning since it leaves my skin feeling hy...
