Colourpop Lippie Stix and Eyeshadows

I was lucky enough to be able to try this amazing brand of lipsticks, pencils and eyeshadows. I have to say I am completely blown away by the quality of the product. The eyeshadows pack such a colourful punch and feel incredible. The lipsticks and pencils glide on my lips like butter. The range in colour is amazing. I loved the packaging. And the best part; EVERYTHING is only $5. If you are looking to get some new, fun and good quality makeup this is the brand for you!

Hurraw Lip Balms

This brand makes all natural, organic, vegan, and raw lip balms in so many yummy scents. I always have dry lips and constantly need lip balm on – especially now that winter is in full force! They offer a huge variety of different scents. They are super smooth and long lasting. I wasn’t re-applying nearly as much as I would with another brand. There are even ones with SPF in it! I really like this product, will continue to use them and probably buy more.

Beauty Green Botanicals

This is a beautiful eco-friendly brand that is completely SLS, Paraben and cruelty-free. I love using products that I know are natural and eco-friendly. It is so important to know what we are putting on our skin. This brand has a great range for all skin types. The Ultra Nourishing cleanser was so calm and smooth on my skin. The Oatmeal Exfoliant powder was amazing and made my skin feel incredibly soft. The Antioxidant Toner spray smelled so good and refreshed my skin all day. I like to spray toners on during the day for a little pick me up. My favourite product is the CC Nourishing cream. It soothed my dry skin almost instantly and I felt moisturized for hours. This is another great Canadian brand.

Lipstick Queen

This is a pretty cool website that is dedicated to all the lip products you could think of. I tried the Silver Screen Lipsticks. The packaging was so beautiful and luxurious and the creamy lipstick felt really good on my lips. The Red Carpet Edit pack was a beautiful collection of reds. One was in a sheer wash, one in a metallic and one creamy matte. They were all beautiful. I also tried one called the Ice Queen and, at first, I thought it was going to be very silver, but it just sort of made my lips shimmy and sparkle. I loved it.

Swiss Line - Cell Shock 360º Synchronized Time Reversal Program

This luxury facial treatment is to use at home and it’s all bundled in a one month’s supply of anti‐aging ampoules. The program is comprised of both an AM and PM series: the AM series lifts, fights wrinkles and hydrates the skin, while the PM series simultaneously boosts, brightens and detoxes the skin. It is designed to be used over the face and neck, once or twice per year at a time – ideally during the change of seasons, replacing the usage of your usual serums that month. Products were launched at the Elmwood Spa spring 2014, which continues to be the facial destination in Toronto.”

Nature's Creations

I love trying natural products as you all know and this line takes the cake! This brand is 100% natural, organic, vegan and just all around amazing. The Micro-gel Exfoliant Gommage is my absolute favourite. It feels amazing on the skin – not too rough at all. The Cleansing Milk was so gentle on my skin and made my skin feel super clean and fresh. I especially love that this line is Canadian!
