My favourite face products of the moment...

A few weeks back I mentioned my favourite foundation mix, and when my skin needs extra coverage that is my go to combo. But I wanted to try a lighter look to give my skin a break, and I have noticed a huge difference.

Currently I am using Mac studio fix powder foundation in NC20 and the Mac Pro long wear concealer in NC15. I am loving the look and my skin is loving these two products! 

I spot cover and use the concealer under my eyes, and do a light dusting of the powder foundation all over. A little bronzer and blush and you have flawless skin! Try going for a lighter look for Spring and let your skin breathe. 

This hair product changed my life... But really!

This is one product that I really think every woman should have. It claims to be a ten in one product... It's ten claims include: heat protectant, light hold, softener, detangler, manageability, uv protection, anti breakage, shine, strength, & moisture. You can find this at Sephora and Chatters carries the Alterna line as well. 

Now before this I would have to use multiple products; detangler, mousse, oil, cream to finish... I mean even typing it makes me feel exhausted... But with this product, it's all I need, and on occasion when I need my hair to be fuller a little bit of mouse and I am good to go! 

I have fine hair but I also have a lot of it. It's naturally wavy, and it doesn't always behave for me. I really like that this cream smoothes without weighing down, makes it shiny without being greasy, and gets me that salon blow dry kind of a look, without trying all that hard. 

You might think $25.00 that's way more than what I spend now... But guaranteed you will need a lot less of this product to do a far better job than the four or five products you buy from the drugstore to do the same. 

Trust me, if you are searching for that one holy grail hair product... You've found it... 

Your welcome! 

Found: Wen conditioning shampoo dupe!

You know Wen conditioning shampoo by Chaz Dean on the commercials? Well I have found a much more affordable dupe people! 

I ran out of shampoo and conditioner the other day and had to quickly grab something. I grabbed a shampoo and what I thought was the matching conditioner... It looked bigger and cost a bit more but oh well! 

When I got home I realized my mistake... Cleansing conditioner ? Because of my fine hair and the fact that I have lots of it, I was quite nervous. But after a few tries I really like it! 

It was weird at first, four pumps and you massage it in but there hardly any lather. When I wash it out my hair feels clean but not the squeaky clean...where your hair is stripped of the oils it needs. 

I like that my hair has far less flyaways when I use this product and it smells really good! 

If you are a fan of Wen or if you have ever wanted to try it, give the Herbal Essences Cleansing conditioner a try! 

Way more affordable, smells great, doesn't weigh hair down, but makes it far more manageable... A winner as far as I'm concerned! 

Let me know what you think!! 

Some new drugstore goodies...

So I stopped in at Pharma Plus today and turns out they had everything on sale, so I may have gotten a few things, and by may I mean obviously I did.

Some are products I have tried and loved, there for repurchased and some are new and I am so excited! 

Loreal Telescopic mascara: this is my third or fourth, and it absolutely love it. It makes my lashes long, and look thick. Love it! 

Rimmel scandal eyes nude liner: love it! This is my second one, and nude liner in your bottom water line is the fastest way to to look awake when you have had no sleep what so ever. 

Two eye brow brushes: from NYX. I'm not someone who will spend a ton of eye makeup brushes... Face brushes yes, but not eyes so much because I have two favourites and frankly I don't need any others, but for my eyebrows I needed new brushes and both of these brushes, a flat brush and an angled brush were under $10😊 

Nuxe Reve de Miel (honey lip balm): I have heard a lot about this, and I have really dry lips lately, so hopefully this will do the trick. I will report back! 

NYX lipgloss in Beige. Not beige at all, but a beautiful pink for spring. Not too sticky, not too dry, but a good consistency.

Lip smacker lip balm in "pink velvet gelato". This reminded me of Nars Turkish Delight, an absolute favourite of mine ( and the kardashians may I add... Lol), beautiful, opaque, baby pink. Unfortunately for me my dog seems to have gotten my amazing taste and has eaten that 26$ Nars lipgloss three times, So I'm hoping this cheaper alternative stays safe! As a bonus: this lipgloss tastes and smells just like a vanilla cupcake, which is my favourite!!! 

NYX blush in angel, is the perfect balance between a fun springy pink, and peach! Love it already!

Maybelline colour tattoo in "inked in pink" is a beautiful pink shade that will look amazing with a champagne colour in the tear duct. I can't wait to try it!!!

Spotted: amazing nail polish, I didn't buy it, but it's been on my mind since I got home... An Essie shade called Mint candy apple, think pastel mint, but closer to the blue side of things... I'll wait and see how long I can hold out for that one! 

Love finding good things at the drugstore!!! What are your favourite spring finds??

The Spring Report

Believe it or not, it's coming! And that means spring makeup, spring body care, and fun and flirty hair styles. After as much snow as we have had here in Winnipeg, it gives us something to look forward to. The spring essentials posts are starting right ....NOW! 

I'm going to start with spring body essentials. Now you may know this or you may not, but I am a HUGE fan of Tiber River. They are a Winnipeg based company and they make amazing natural products for your body that smell amazing minus the bad for you chemicals !!! They also give the best pedicures, and manicures there too! If you haven't already gone there... You need to go! 

Every spring Tiber River releases my favourite scent of all time, but it is only around for about two months, so if your into fruity, fresh, with a sophisticated twist, you need to get yourself some Spring Fling!!! 

This may seem excessive but remember people... Two months, and I don't go all that often , so this is what I picked up last time I was there...

Everything is in the spring fling scent except for the deodorant which I will talk about later. 

The spring fling bubble bath, hand soap, and lotion are pretty self explanatory. They are amazing and smell beyond what you can imagine... But the shower shake is something pretty special. Think of it like a scrub and body wash hybrid. It's really nice to use in the morning to wake yourself up and with body butter on top, you are going to be one smooth, ready for spring hottie! 

My only complaint is that they used to make a spring fling body spray but they didn't this time around, which makes me incredibly sad😥. Maybe one day they will do it again! *fingers crossed*

The deodorant pictured here is in Bittersweet (a citrusy, vanilla blend) but I also love sweet cheeks ( baby powder-ish scent). These deodorants are a bit different than your typical secret or dove deodorants but are worth it. To apply this deodorant you scoop it out and rub it into your armpits, it's a wet & dry formula that is hard to explain but it keeps all of the smells away. It will not keep you from sweating but you will smell great all day long, even on your busiest of days. Regular deodorants have terrible chemicals like aluminum and other junk that has been proven to do damage to our bodies, so if there is an alternative you better believe I am using it, and you should too! 

Now if you don't live close to either the Academy or Kenaston locations of Tiber River, they now deliver to your home if your order is over $75.00, and trust me my friends it's easy to spend that. Just order online! Www.tiberriver.ca 

Now for spring scents that I am currently loving and rotating between: 

Sorry for the terrible picture but as you can see I am almost out of both of these scents. 

1) Fresh:Sugar Lychee: I first got the roller ball for about $26 from Sephora, and I was so obsessed I needed the big size which costs around $56.00. But I am happy to say that I have used almost all of it up. This scent is very fresh, as the name suggests, citrusy, with mango and other yummy things mixed in there. It just makes me think spring time, and Kev is a huge fan.

2) Victorias Secret PINK: Sweet & Flirty scent: when you think Dom, don't you think sweet and flirty?? Lol. Sweet maybe, but flirty? Not if my life depended on it. Anyway it's a beautiful berry and citrus scent and it is perfect for spring. Definitely will need to repurchase this one.

Currently, I have my eye on Dolce & Gabana: Light Blue. It is described as a fresh, light, & citrusy scent. (Is anyone noticing a pattern here?) Maybe once these baby's are done I can justify that purchase.

Stay tuned for spring makeup essentials coming soon!
