Review: Sephora avocado sheet mask

October 17, 2018

I recently picked up three sheet masks from Sephora: avocado; pearl and green tea. I’ve never tried a sheet mask before and to be honesty I’ve always been a little nervous to do so because I have very sensitive skin so I usually stick to the clay masks that I know work for me, but I’ve always been curious and have wanted to try it.

I thought the masks at Sephora was a good place to start and then if I liked them and my skin reacted okay to them I would then venture out to try some of the more popular K-beauty brands.

Repair damaged hair with Fructis 3-in-1 treatment

October 12, 2018

Not too long ago, I raved about this product on my Instagram and shared my first impressions. I’ve been using it religiously every week for about two months now, so I thought I would report back on my hair’s status.

I was sent the Damage Repairing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask + Papaya Extract to try out and first things first – it smells amazing. Like I wanted to eat it. The other thing I really liked about this product line is that 98% of the ingredients are naturally derived.

Custom-made canvas prints with Canvas Champ and a giveaway

October 9, 2018

I’ve always loved the idea of getting a custom canvas print, but with so many different companies offering them these days it’s honestly so hard to know where to go and which ones are good quality. So when Canvas Champ reached out to me about test-driving their custom canvas print option, I immediately jumped at the opportunity!

And (as much as it pains me to say it) with the holiday season (aka winter) right around the corner, one of these babies makes for the perfect gift.

Jumpsuits for transitioning your wardrobe from Summer to Fall

September 17, 2018

If you’re anything like me, you always struggle a little bit with figuring out what to wear this time of year. It’s technically Fall (ok, not quite yet but it will be as of September 22), it’s still hot outside and all you want to do is wear your fall clothes, am I right?!

Jumpsuits are my new favourite item for this time of year. Why you ask? Well, the fabric can be pretty light weight so even though they are length pants, you’re still not overheating on those hot days that we always seem to have until October, making them the perfect fall-fashion item. They’re also easy to layer up with a faux-leather bomber or jean jacket if it does get a little chillier at night. They are also the most comfortable thing in the world, I swear.
