5 Korean beauty skincare products I love

March 1, 2020

In the past year, I switched over most of my skincare routine to Korean Beauty (K-beauty) products and let me tell you, my skin is glowing! I’ve always been sort of skeptical whenever I heard people rave about how life-changing K-beauty products are, especially considering many of the price-points, but I finally bit the bullet and tried some out myself and I’m never going back.

So, I thought I would take the time to share some of my favourite products in case you’re looking to try something new.

As for where I buy my K-beauty products, I’m lucky to have a couple of stores/malls nearby where I can access these products: Innisfree, Sukoshi Mart, The Face Shop and some items are even available at Sephora. You can also get a lot of these products online. For reference, I’ve included my skin type as well!

Review: Sephora avocado sheet mask

October 21, 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.

Review: The New Lip Pencil by Bite Beauty

February 26, 2017

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.)

7 Face Masks That Are Top Notch

May 19, 2016

It’s no secret that I have problematic skin. I’m generally pretty careful about the products I use since I break out really easily, get rashes and my skin tends to dry out with certain products. Face masks have always been a go-to beauty product for me to help control my skin and keep in some moisture.

So, with this in mind, I thought I would share 7 face masks that are pretty great… at least in my opinion!
