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. 

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

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 ;)
