Hair Mask: H'SUAN WEN HUA Review

My lovelies,

Hope you all are having an amazing week. For all my fellow Canadians, hope that you all enjoyed Canada Day and had a blast. To my American followers, hoping you all have a fun and safe July 4th weekend!!

Now lets get into it,

So today I'm going to be talking about this new product that I am pretty excited about. 

Now my hair is extremely dry, like reallllllly dry. 

But I think I have found a new product thats been helping me out a ton.

The H'Suan Wen Hua Hair Mask from Lush (don't ask me how the hell you pronounce that, sheesh) 

Now this mask claims "A nutritious mask to improve the strength, shine, and condition of your hair and scalp", continually it states its a "intense moisturizing treatment with fresh eggs, herbs, and oils for out-of-condition hair". Which ya'll know I got.

Anyways the first thing I noticed about this mask is the smell. It is defiantly a warm smelling product that is relaxing for myself. It reminds me of gingerbread on Christmas. For some odd reason. 

The consistency is thick and creamy and it glides onto your hair without making a massive mess, which was a plus for me. 

Now, the feeling of this product on my scalp was amazing. When I first applied it, it didn't feel like much, however when it began to soak into my scalp it it had a nice cooling sensation. I left it on for a total of 25 minutes, just to make sure it was able to really soak into the hair follicles.

After rinsing it out in the shower, I went along with my normal hair care routine, minus the deep conditioning at the end. 

When I styled my hair after I instantly noticed how soft, smooth and silky my hair was to the touch. I could not stop playing with it! My scalp felt hydrated and nourished and was not left itchy or dry.

This product helped my hair retain its moisture between washes. 

In all, I was extremely pleased with this product. It was a tiny bit pricy (at $21 for 225g) , and I did have to use quite a bit because my hair is so long. However, it is completely worth it. The people at Lush continue to impress ;)

Whats your favourite hair mask treatment!

REVIEW: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette

Hello lovelies!

So I cannot contain my excitement that I finally have been able to get my hands on this palette! I have legit been waiting since it came out, checking the website frequently, just to see its always sold out. So a few days ago while casually looking at instagram, I saw someone post how it was at sephora. Now my heart pretty much dropped and I raced on over to my sephora, and yup! It was there!

So I decided it would be helpful to do a bit of a review and explanation of this palette for any of you looking to get it. 

I was critical that maybe this was just another fan fad, meaning that everyone is getting it, just because EVERYONE is getting it. 

I was defiantly mistaken though, the consistency and pigmentation of these colors are fantastic. 

VIDEO: Bronzed Goddess Look

Now, by all means I am in no way a goddess. However I couldn't think of a different title, since goddess is just what came to mind with this look.

I took a lot of time editing, while trying out some new techniques. Im still in the process of learning iMovie, but its coming along!

I'm pretty stoked on this video, and hope you guys enjoy it!

Don't forget to like it, share it, and maybe even subscribe if you enjoy it!

It really helps me out :)

Stay tuned for more videos! And if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them in the comments on here, or on the video!

Tight And Bright

Hello my lovelies!

Whenever summer is around the corner, I get really excited to start using all my bright lip colors. I did a post similar to this not to long ago HERE, focusing on my favourite nudes. Now I want to transition to bright lippies!

I love a bright lip, its so easy and it makes you look put together, even if you're not ;)

A simple eye, dewy skin and a bright lip is my absolute fave!

So here I'm going to show you some of my favourite bright lip colors!

Things I Could Not Put Down: May

Hello all my beautiful people. Well todays June 1st! Can you really believe it. Like I swear May went by so fast you coulda missed it in a blink!

I swear time just goes by so fast. Its so true what they say, while you're in high school time goes slow, but the second you're out of it.. the real world takes you under its wing and time just flies by. To think of all the things that happen in a month, and how quickly transitions and changes occur. And now look, all those things may not even matter, or stress you out, or you may not even be thinking about them by the time June is up.

We really need to understand that life just keeps going, regardless of you're situation. And though it may not feel like it, every moment that passes, you grow.

In a months time new experiences and lessons can be learned. Things that we may not think about today, may affect us by the end of the month. Its so unpredictable, even if you lead a predictable life.

On that note... 

Summer is defiantly on its way, and I wanted to share some of my favourite items that I could not put down this past month.

Some of these are oldies but goodies, things I re-found in my collection!

MAC Blush in Peachykeen - let me tell you something, for me using this blush for as long as I've had it, I'm shocked I have not hit pan yet! This is the perfect everyday blush, it goes with so many looks. It has a slight sheen to it, but nothing to crazy. I still load up with highlighter on top. It just makes your cheeks look beautifully flushed. This baby is something that I'll keep going to for a long while.

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.
