April Favorites 2013

Alas, April is over! We are now going into May, which means it's time for another monthly favorites :). 1. Cake Beauty Ultra-Nourishing Hand Cream (Coconut & Cream): I received this in my April Topbox and I have to say, this is my holy grail hand cream. It smells like pina coladas, absorbs very quickly, doesn't feel sticky, and leaves my hands feeling very soft. Big thumbs up! 2. Escada - Cherry in the Air: Perfect perfume...

Anti-Glymm Box

As of April 19, the popular canadian beauty box "Glymm" has officially gone out of business. Personally, this does not come as a shock as I remember predicting the company would go bankrupt eventually since so many subscribers (including myself) were disappointed in the company and canceled our subscriptions. However, many customers were not lucky enough to unsubscribe in time and have been left without any hope of a refund. For more...

Review: Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush

Smashbox isn't a brand that gets a whole lot of hype in the beauty world, even though they do have some great quality products. When I saw MissChievous feature these blushes in one of her new videos, I was really intrigued! They are part of the new 'Halo' line that Smashbox released recently. I ended up spotting them at a local Sephora one day and used up my last giftcards to bring two of them home with me. They come in multiple...

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Review

Hey everyone!

I came across La Roche-Posay's 'Effaclar Mat' which claims to be a daily moisturizer for oily skin. I had hoped that it would be almost identical to the Simple moisturizer, but it ended up being...

Topbox April 2013

Soooo... I was going to post a review on a skin care product today, but then this happened.... yep. My April Topbox arrived! I couldn't hold back and just feel the need to share my love for this month's box. There was an option to opt for the prive box which featured the brand Elizabeth Arden, but the selected products didn't intrigue me enough to give up the regular topbox. The box's design is meant to celebrate Earth Day, and is eco-friendly...

Escada: Cherry in the Air

Quite a few new scents have hit the market this spring! Just in time too since my beloved 'Fantasy' by Nina Ricci has finally run out. I tend to go for fruity perfumes so when I saw the latest release by Escada called 'Cherry in the Air', I knew I had to give it a go. I went to the store and was given two samples. Sure enough, I was hooked! I ran back to the store and purchased the full size (50ml). It is honestly the best scent for...
