Squeaky Clean Skin

Hello my lovelies, hope that all of you are having an amazing day! This past weekend has been a bit of a tough one, however I'm making it through.

Change is a funny thing. Humans don't adapt well to it. Even if its a good thing or bad. Not to mention that its extra stress that really we don't need. But change is inevitable. We must learn to deal with it, and come out the other side as a stronger person. No matter what.

Anyways.. thats my little ramble for the day.

Today I wanted to share my absolute favourite skincare product that I've been using for the past year and achieving great results.

Most of you have probably heard of the Clarisonic. Either the Original, Mia, or Mia 2. Now when I first heard about this product I kind of thought it was a fan fad. Meaning that its just popular because a few select individuals said that it was a great tool.

I was mistaken. This skincare tool is something I will never go without.


The Clarisonic Mia claims to deep clean 6X better than just using your hands, clears pores and reduces pore size, cleanses thoroughly so other skincare products are better absorbed, and noticeably healthier looking skin.

This system is going to benefit you regardless if its for anti-aging, acne, radiance, brightening, uneven skintone, pore size, you name it!


And for the record, yes it does all of this. There is a selection of different brush heads that range from cashmere (for the super sensitive) to normal (non sensitive skin types).



Simply put whichever cleanser you typically use on the brush head, or put directly on your face, dampen the brush and then press on! Ta da! You're on a one way road to beautiful skin, friend!

Honestly this is one of those tools that once you start, you'll always want to use it.

Keep in mind though, when you first start using it, you may notice that your skin is breaking out a bit more. Don't be alarmed though, that is because this system cleanses so deeply, that its grabbing all that gunk and bringing it to the surface. The breakouts will clear in a few uses.

You're skin is going to feel soooooooooooo soft and just look greater. Trust me when I say, you'll be addicted ;)

I honestly don't even know what I did with my skin prior to this. Besides the price point being a bit high, this system is a clear 10/10. 

My favourite way to use this is with the Philosophy Purity Cleanser. Its a very gentle cleanser for my sensitive dry skin.

Following that I use the oil that I mentioned in my previous post HERE

And of course Kiel's Eyecream

Thats all my loves,

Stay tuned for more posts coming!


Love, Love

Facial Oils: The Benefits & Why You Should Be Using Them

Facial Oils have been a non-stop trend that came out last year, and most of us jumped on the bandwagon. The biggest misconception that we have all believed is that oil is going to clog our pores. And really who wants that? Because clogged pores lead to, well breakouts. But alas, facial oils aren't just like regular greasy oils. Dry skin, aging, and even.. oily breakout-prone skin can all benefit from facial oils. The oil provides balance to whichever skin concern you may have.

Review: LUSH Mask of Magnaminty

Hello all,

Today I wanted to talk about facial masks. I myself, love doing mask treatments. My skin is always so happy after, and my makeup glides on that much easier. We all know that what you put on your skin, (and of course diet) are the major predictors of how your skin will look on the outside. Once in awhile, your skin needs a treat to get rid of makeup clogged pores, dry dead skin, and promote cell turnover. 

Cell Turnover?? Whats that you ask?! Well this is the process of when your new skin cells can reach the surface. Ever wonder how babies have smooth, plump skin? Well its because babies cells turnover about every 14 days. Now if your in your twenties, such as myself, you can expect your cells to turn over ever 30-40 days. and trust me, it continues to just get worse from there. Besides masks, regular exfoliation, or even microdermabrasion if you can afford it, promote the cell turnover process by getting rid of the dead cells, making way for the new cells to come to surface. 

Okay after that little skin lesson, lets actually get into this.

I'm Kinda A Nudist

Hello all my loves,

Hope that this week started out beautifully for all of you. For me, today is a day of relaxation after a quite hectic weekend. First of all, I need to just say, putting together a camp for 22 children is a lot of work. Holy, who knew that 8 year olds would want to, let alone actually, stay up till 4:30AM. I swear I could barely do that in my prime partying days. HA. 

Okay lets get into it. By this title, you may be confused, that is if you are not an avid lippie lover such as myself. Nudes, I love em all. Glosses, lipsticks, chap sticks, you name it. If it comes in a nude, I'm probably going to buy it and obsessively put it on my lips. So I decided to share some of my favourite nudes with you guys today. Swatches and all!



Welcome to the nudist resort ;)

Quick Tips: Making Your Lipstick Last

Oh what a tiring weekend it twas. 
Minus the fact of working the entire weekend, the weathers drastic change back to gloom has got me having a case of the blues. However, one thing that always makes me think of how quickly the summer season is approaching, is bright lips. As you guys probably already have seen, if you follow me on any social media, bright lips are becoming a favourite of mine. For so long I had it in my mind that redheads simply cannot wear bright lip colours without looking, well, clown lip. I soon found that was a myth and since then have stepped out of my comfort zone many times to experiment with what colours look best. Ya know, some days you just don't want to put the effort into doing a dramatic, or smokey eye. Bold lips make you look put together, even if you aren't. Now after my ramble, I'm going to share some quick tips to make your lipstick look great and stay great all day. 

So lets go, lets channel the warm weather with our lipsticks ;)

Scrub those kissers!
Lips need exfoliation just like our face, without this it can leave lipstick looking cracked and streaky. And that ain't cute girl.
