Canadian lifestyle blog
I’m sure you all know by now that I have an obsession with skincare and soap companies. So naturally, I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to try out some products from Canadian company, Rocky Mountain Soap Co.
One of my favourite things that I learned about them, is that all of their products are toxin-free and made with 100% natural ingredients. When I found this out, I was even more excited to try their products out.
Raise your hand if you’re ready for Summer!
We are still getting some pretty chilly days here, but for the most part spring has spring and it’s a lot more sunny around here already, which has made me eager for summer. I can’t wait to lounge outside, hit the beach and go on some weekend getaways!
Now of course, with the warmer weather and sunshine coming my way I needed to add a few new seasonal staples to my wardrobe this year: sun hats (I’m obsessed with those typographic straw hats that are all over the internet, you bet I picked one up for myself!), dresses and of course, sunglasses! Optically.ca was kind enough to offer to send some sunnies my way to help get me ready for the season!
Anyone who knows me knows that I can’t go anywhere without lipstick, whether its a subtle nude, a strong and well defined lip or a bold colour. So naturally, I was pretty excited when I found out that Canadian cosmetic company Bite Beauty was releasing a new line of lip pencils and lipsticks. (Handmade right here in Toronto might I add!)
I knew I had to get my hands on these babies as soon as I had heard about them. Luckily for me Influenester was kind enough to send out some samples in one of their Vox Boxes.
I was able to try out the new products in two shades, along with a Sephora pencil sharpener and two matching mini Amuse Bouche Lipsticks. (Honey comb/020 and Whiskey/044.)
I have an irrational fear of drugstore mascara. I don’t know why.. and it’s totally unjustified – I’ve never really had a bad experience with it before! And then I was challenged to face my fears try a drug-store brand beauty product. In particular, Covergirl’s Lash Blast Mascara Collection. I opted to go for the voluminous waterproof lash blast mascara.
Out of all the drugstore brand mascaras out there, I’m glad that this was the option I was presented with. I have heard a lot of really good things about it before so that definitely had me feeling a little more optimistic and comfortable about trying it out.
In order to ensure that I gave this stuff a fair review, I wanted to make sure that I tried it exclusively for a long enough period. So, I’ve been using this mascara for about a month now. I’ve broken this review down into three main categories to make it a little easier to follow: price, first impressions, after 1-week of use, long-term use and overall ranking.
