I was on the hunt for my usual Pro-Derm Micro-Peel Masque (see review here), I was recommended the SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque by my cosmetic dermatologist clinic. Skinceuticals is the medical grade line of the company that makes Clarisonic. This is the first product I have tried from SkinCeuticals or the Clarisonic line - I believe the SkinCeuticals line is still fairly new to Canada.

Summer is finally here -and we are expecting a full week of sunshine! Just in time, I will share with you my top 10 summer essentials! Summer I think is the time to incorporate bright colors into your makeup look. So you'll see that I've picked up some fun summer colors for my top 5 summer essentials. Wait - I told you 10 summer essentials. You're in luck today because in addition to my top 5 picks, another great blogger, Franziska from Beauty on the inside and out will be sharing her top 5 summer essentials! If you have read any beauty blog or watched a YouTube video from US beauty gurus, you have heard of Sigma Brushes. They are said to be an affordable alternative for higher end brushes. I love high-end brushes just like the next girl - but since they usually start around the $30 price range for a blending brush but I was looking for a more affordable alternative to add to my collection. I put Sigma brushes to the test now that they are finally available in Canada!
You can find Sigma brushes in Canada (with free shipping) at ObsessedLook.com. Disclaimer: Two of the brushes listed below were sent to me for review. I have identified them with a "*". See my full disclaimer here. Hairspray - it can make or break a 'do. Today I will share with you a tried and tested hair product that I have recently returned to after trying out a drugstore, and higher end brands. In hairspray I look for a few things: - fine mist so the product is evenly distributed - great flexible hold (no helmet head please!) - yummy scent And what are my specific hair needs? About my hair: Texture: Curly in the front and wavy in the back Thickness: Super duper thin Length: Medium - below the shoulder Color: dark ash brown Let's get ready to rummmmble! Eye shadow primer is a essentially a life necessity for me. Without it, my eye shadow is sure to crease within the hour. That's the life of hooded eyes! For this product review on Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, I'm putting it to the test against my holy grail shadow primer - Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance.
Facts about my eyes: Size: Medium Shape: Almond Color: Brown Type: Hooded (and I mean hooooded) Makeup brushes are a dime a dozen, but finding good quality affordable brushes is another story! Let me introduce you to Real Techniques brushes. Here's a quick history on Real Techniques they are two makeup artist sisters from the UK who are now YouTube beauty gurus. Since then they have delved into the makeup brush world and now have their own line. Check out more about them here.
Real Techniques brushes can be found online, I was fortunate enough to find mine at Winners (I've seen many of their collections there). Now, on to the ones I've tested out! SMASHBOX is a great make-up line over-all - at least from the items that I've tried so far. I picked up this kit to try out a few of their best sellers and well - let's face it they're all in mini bottles! I love me some minis!
Here's what the kit contains ($22 CDN): - 0.25 oz Photo Finish Foundation Primer - 0.02 oz Photo Finish Lid Primer - 0.03 oz Limitless Eye Liner in Onyx - 0.14 oz Full Exposure Mascara in Jet Black - 0.14 oz Lip Enhancing Gloss in Illume My name is Diana, and I'm addicted to hair products. I'm always on the hunt for a miracle hair product - whether it be for volume, shine, texture, smoothness, curls - you name it, I want it! In my latest quest to find a miracle deep conditioning mask I decided to give L'Oreal Oleo Therapy Deep Recovery Mask a whirl.
About my hair: Texture: Curly in the front and wavy in the back Thickness: Super duper thin Length: Medium - below the shoulder Color: Dark ash brow Issues: Creating volume, and damage from heat styling Disclosure: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own, read my disclaimer here.
Facts about my nails: - Size: Long nail beds - Problems: Some nail splitting and sometimes uneven texture Face sponges are all the rage for foundation application. There are many options out and I opted to try out the natural option from Quo - a natural sea sponge for a whopping $4!
Facts about my skin: Skin tone: Olive tone Skin type: Oily and acne prone Problems: acne scars, large pores in the t-zone, an oily t-zone, and the odd wrinkle. |
