Drugstore lipsticks are hit and miss - and at the price point that Essence Cosmetic offers, I really wondered if they could make a quality lipstick at the price - I decided to give the lipstick a try.

It's been a long time since I've tried a new shampoo/conditioner combo. I picked up this duo at my local Target (yes I know Target Canada is dead!!) but I have also seen this duo at my local health food store. I decided to give this a try as I like using more natural products on my hair, especially shampoo and conditioner. Before we get into it, here are my hair details:
About my hair: Texture: Curly/wavy Thickness: Thin Length: Medium Color: Dark ash brown (dyed) 
Skin Rescue - we all need some of it sometimes! Normal skin does a not exist in my vocabulary - I have struggled over the past few years with my acne prone skin. I've tried a few skin products that have really helped my skin - but with all the hype around First Aid Beauty as a great skincare line, I decided to try the cleanser meant to control breakouts. Before we begin, here are my skin details:
Facts about my skin: Skin tone: Olive tone Skin type: Oily and acne prone Problems: Occasional breakouts on the chin and cheeks, acne scars, large pores in the t-zone, an oily t-zone, and the odd wrinkle  The Product: Caviar Anti-Aging Working Hair Spray When did "anti-aging" hairspray become a "thing"? I remember clearly the day I picked up this beauty bottle - during a Sephora VIB sale with my sister screaming "do not buy that it's ridiculous". Yes, she's right it's a pretty ridiculous claim - but I'm a sucker. The bottle is so pretty, and well if it really is anti-aging well then I should really try it!
About my hair: Texture: Curly/wavy Thickness: Thin Length: Medium Color: Dark ash brown (dyed) This one is going be a long one! Grab a tea or coffee, and get comfy!
Skoah has been around in Calgary for a few years now. I have tried out many of their products and facials before. I use to have a membership where I was able to go for a facials every 1-2 months (depending on the facial) for a discounted price. Although I loved the facials treatments, I found that the facials themselves weren't doing enough for my skin, and have since switched over to chemical peels. When I heard about the new target sessions they were offering including a 'peel' session, I was ecstatic to try it out. Facts about my skin: Skin tone: Olive tone Skin type: Oily and acne prone Problems: Occasional breakouts on the chin and cheeks, acne scars, large pores in the t-zone, an oily t-zone, and the odd wrinkle.  I recently visited Skoah to try out a new facial (I'll review my facial soon!) - and while I was there I picked up a few items. I haven't used any Skoah products in a about a year or so, but I have tried many of their products for oily skin. Here's what I picked up this time:
 I can never seem to stay away from the beauty isle even while grocery shopping. This little haul is from a few stops at Superstore and Shopper Drug mart.
 Send a man with a shopping list to hand a sales associate and you shall receive.
I was fortunate enough to have my hubby travel to the US recently and like any good beauty junkie I thought "Ulta Haul" so I emailed shopping list and said "just show this to the sales associate and she will do all the work". I focused on some Ulta exclusive, and items not readily available in Canada. So here are the goodies my awesome hubby brought back for me: 
I think I've got all the shopping out of my system - so what better way to share all the goodies I've picked up than haul week? Join me this week as I share with you the damage on my credit card - and some new beauty goods - including: drugstore finds, Ulta, and Sephora!
