Spotlight: My Favourite Canadian Brands!

Today I'm going to be showcasing some of my favourite Canadian beauty brands, both indie and mainstream!


Note: I am aware that not all of these brands are still Canadian-owned, but they all started in Canada and that's what matters to me!


Simply Suds: An indie natural makeup and skincare line based in North Bay, Ontario.

This natural deodorant is the only product I own from them, but it's pretty awesome! I've been meaning to review it for ages.


Little Luxuries Soapworks: an indie bath and body line from Nova Scotia.

I like this brand for their stellar customer service, generous product size, and variety. My favourites from this brand would have to be their whipped cream soap and their body scrub sugar cubes!


Country Cabin Candles and Soaps: an indie skincare and home line based out of Val Caron, Ontario.

I loooove this brand. I have so much of their stuff. My favourite things about them are the great value of their products, and the huge variety of scents they offer!


Joe Fresh: Not every product in the Joe Fresh makeup line is a star, but their blushes remain the favourite ones in my collection- and only 6 dollars each!


MAC: Not Canadian anymore, but I really do like the packaging on their LE releases. Unfortunately, I don't love their products that much- but really, how can someone not like MAC...?


Bite Beauty: I have so much Bite, guys. They're unbeatable in terms of pigmented lipsticks for me. My personal favourites are their double-ended lipsticks. They're just great and their new releases always have me excited.


Cargo: I love their product names more than I love my own life. This palette is all I own from them but I look forward to picking up more goodies for the geography lover in me- and this palette really impressed me!


Marcelle: Their cosmetics are all scentless and hypoallergenic which is so important to me. I'm addicted to their Rouge xPression lipsticks.

There's a glimpse at my favourite Canadian brands- what are yours?

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
