Top 5 Favorite Blogs

Posted in Beauty/Fashion, Life, People, Uncategorized, Writing & Books by

Back in 2015, I made a small list of my favorite three bloggers. I intended to do it again but unfortunately forgot about it until now (five years later, I suck, I’m sorry). Some of them have stayed the same because my taste has mostly remained the same, but I have included a few new ones in there for you to check out! I mostly follow lifestyle and fashion blogs but I am always interested in broadening my blog list. If you have any blogs that you think I should take a look at, please leave the link in the comment section! I am always down to discover new favorites. 

#1.) Zoella

FotoJet (3)

Zoella (whose real name is Zoe Sugg) was first on my last list too, and she still remains there to this day. Some of you may recognize Zoella as a YouTuber with eleven million (whaaat?!) subscribers, but she began her journey to fame as a small lifestyle blogger back in 2009 when she was working a job she hated (sound familiar?). Now in addition to her online persona, Zoella has extended her brand into a makeup line, a clothing line, and even a line of products for your home! Zoella is the definition of a boss babe and I love reading her blog. She posts recipes, style and beauty tips, and everything else to appease the modern woman.

Find her at https://www.zoella.co.uk/.

#2.) Fat Mum Slim

FotoJet (4)

Another blogger that made it from 2015’s list to 2020’s list of my favorite bloggers is a woman named Chantelle who blogs under the name Fat Mum Slim. Now, I don’t have kids (thankfully) but this blogging mom can be appealing to women at any age and life experience. She does blog about a lot of family related matters but her humorous and bright personality make them entertaining to read, even for those of us without children of our own. She also posts yummy recipes, life tips, and she is probably most known for her “Photo A Day” challenge which has accumulated over 23 million participants worldwide.

Find her at https://www.fatmumslim.com.au/.

#3.) Flip and Style

The next blog is the most aesthetically pleasing website I have ever laid my eyes on. Flip and Style is managed by a young woman named Vanessa who has a keen eye for everything feminine and pink. As someone who is quite fond of the color pink, her blog instantly stood out above the rest. I stumbled across her blog one evening while trying to find girly wallpapers for my iPhone, and ended up spending the next couple of hours on her website, fascinated with both its content and appearance. As you may have guessed it, Flip and Style is a fashion blog. One of Vanessa’s quotes are:

“My main aim in life is to make everything around me positive and beautiful.”

She is definitely accomplishing that goal with Flip and Style. Also, isn’t that name just super fun to say?

Find her at https://www.flipandstyle.com/.

#4.) Lauren Conrad

FotoJet (5)

Who remembers Lauren Conrad from the television show The Hills? Or perhaps her book series L.A. Candy? Lauren Conrad has been a fashion icon since 2004 when she first appeared in the television show Laguna Beach, and she has been shining ever since. Her lifestyle blog has a little bit of everything, so no matter who you are or what you’re into, you’ll find something interesting on Lauren’s blog. Lauren posts lifestyle tips, recipes, and is an advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement. She recently posted a couple blog posts about diversity and how to educate ourselves on systemic racism. 

Find her at https://www.laurenconrad.com/.

#5.) Planner Perfect

FotoJet (6)

Just recently I came across the blog Planner Perfect, and thus far I have been really enjoying it. It’s definitely different than most blogs I read (in a good way). A woman named Jenny runs Planner Perfect in hopes to help individuals lead a more organized and productive lifestyle. In essence, the blog is literally a digital planner that can help you stay on track, also giving lots of great tips and tricks. There are recipes, tips for success, and hacks written to help you live your best life. If you want to get organized and have fun doing it, then look no further! Planner Perfect has got you covered. 

Find her at https://www.plannerperfect.com/.

Thanks for reading! Hopefully you have added a few of these on your list of blogs to read. Feel free to drop links to your favorite blogs in the comments that you think I should check out!

Too Faced “Peach Perfect” Review

Posted in Beauty/Fashion, Review, Uncategorized by

tooface

Good evening bloggers and happy springtime! Finally, the sun is shining and the weather is starting to warm up. Goodbye coats and scarfs, and hello to t-shirts and sunglasses! 

Recently, I decided to try the Peach Perfect line by the brand Too Faced. Too Faced happens to be one of my most favorite cosmetic lines on the planet, so I was super excited to try this one. All of the items are peach scented. Just note, I did not have the chance to try out all of the products from this collection. Right after these were purchased, they released their Peach Perfect lip balms and lip scrubs, as well as eye shadows and lipsticks. However, I was able to grab their foundation, setting powder, primer, setting spray, and one of the eye shadow palettes.

Without further ado, let’s get started! 

Primer

insta-editor.com

The Primed & Peachy primer was awesome. Not only does it smell terrific with its peaches-and-cream-esque scent, but it was so smooth and easy to apply. The cooling matte formula was not heavy, but a light formula, making it feel light and cool on your skin, leaving your skin and pores free to breathe. I found my makeup lasted a lot longer while wearing this, and gave it a matte appearance. 

Purchase here: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/primed-peachy-cooling-matte-perfecting-primer-peaches-cream-collection-P422851?icid2=products%20grid:p422851:product

Foundation

insta-editor.com (1)

The foundation I purchased was in the shade Light Beige. Now, although overall I thought that this was indeed a good product, there were some cons as well. It says transfer resistant on the package, but I found that when wearing it, it would come off easily onto clothes, even with the application of a setting powder and spray. I also prefer a more full coverage foundation, so although this made my skin look fantastic, it did not cover as much as I generally would like. The pros? Like all of the other products, the sweet, peachy smell is wonderful. Most foundations are not scented, so it is a refreshing change to be wearing such a sweet perfume on your face. Not only did this product give me a great complexion and tone, but the product itself is very bright looking and gave my skin a radiant effect.

Purchase here: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/peach-perfect-comfort-moisture-matte-foundation-peaches-cream-collection-P422601?icid2=products%20grid:p422601:product

Setting Powder

insta-editor.com (2)

Similar to the foundation, the setting powder gives a wonderfully radiant, glamorous, and glowing look. It also mattifyed any shiny or oily skin that the foundation did not cover. The powder is light and airy, so it does not weigh your makeup down. 

Purchase here: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/peach-perfect-mattifying-setting-powder-peaches-cream-collection-P422448?icid2=products%20grid:p422448:product

Setting Spray

insta-editor.com (3)

After your whole look is complete, make sure to finish it off with the Peach Mist mattifying setting spray. This spray reminded me of another setting spray by Too Faced which is the Hangover setting spray. Both provide a smooth finish and a long lasting effect. With this product, my makeup would last pretty much throughout the day without creasing or wiping off. I wouldn’t say it’s the best setting spray that I have ever used, but I definitely still liked it!

Purchase here: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/peach-mist-mattifying-setting-spray-peaches-cream-collection-P422850?icid2=products%20grid:p422850:product

Eye Shadow Palette 

insta-editor.com (4)

Lastly, I tried the White Peach multi-dimensional eye shadow palette. If you were wondering—yes, this too is peach scented. The shades range from matte to sparkly, and everything in between. This palette is the lighter version so all of the shades are on the softer end of the spectrum. The pigmentation is pretty good but not perfect, as it fades. Thought that is understandable as the colors are not as vibrant as other palettes. I still love this palette, especially Peach Ice, which is perfect to put on your waterline and in the corners of your eyelids to really make your eyes pop.

Bonus

insta-editor.com (5)

As a special bonus, I also wanted to share my absolutely favorite mascara of all time that will make any look complete. Yup, it’s the Better Than Sex mascara by none other than Too Faced! After trying this mascara a couple years back, I will never go to any other mascara again. It thickens, lengthens, and adds so much volume without the hassle of falsies. Plus, how cute is this limited edition packaging for their twentieth birthday?!

Purchase here: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/better-than-sex-mascara-P381000?icid2=products%20grid:p381000:product

Thanks so much for reading! XOXO

Summer & Fall Lush Haul 2017

Posted in Beauty/Fashion, Uncategorized by

Good evening bloggers! I’ve decided to share with you some of my fave Lush products from mid to late 2017. Of course I will be heading soon to Lush to stock up on the wintertime and Christmas goodies, but for now, here’s some of my favorites that I’ve picked up from August to October 2017.

1.) Rainbow Bath Oils

20170317_00392520170317_003943

There are so many reasons that I love these little bath tablets. Not only do they smell fabulous, but there are so many uses for them, and they support a great cause. You can use them as a shampoo, a body wash, or as a bubble bath. Since there are seven of them, they last quite a long time, and each one comes with a unique fruity fragrance. Plus, each one sold donates some of the profits to Japanese children who are living in unsafe conditions and unable to play outside. So next time you’re at Lush, go grab yourself a tube of these fun rainbow multipurpose bath oil tablets and make a difference in the world while you’re at it. Here’s the link to purchase: https://www.lush.ca/en/bath/fun/rainbow/06581.html

2.) August 2017 Haul

20170817_234827

This haul included many different items, including:

  • Pink Bath Bomb
  • Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar
  • Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb
  • Karma Bubble Bar
  • Scrubee Body Scrub Bar
  • Chocolate Lip Scrub
  • Bling Toothpaste Tablets 

I love Lush because not only are their products all natural and against animal testing, but they are also incredibly unique. Rather than the waste toothpaste can create, their toothy tablets are a great alternative to standard toothpaste. The chocolate lip scrub works wonders, and all of the bath products are fantastically fragrant and make your skin feel soft and smooth after a nice, relaxing bath. All of these products get a thumbs up from me. 

3.) September 2017 Haul

20170911_215549

My September haul consisted of lots of products I have never tried before, including their masks for hands and salted coconut body scrub. The products I tried are as follows:

  • Rosy Cheeks Face Mask
  • Golden Handshake Hand Mask
  • Salted Coconut Body Scrub
  • Cheer Up Buttercup Bath Bomb 
  • Rocket Science Bath Bomb 
  • Yuzu and Cocoa Bubble Bar

Unlike other face masks, the Rosy Cheeks mask actually made my skin tingle. It felt so nice and made my skin look so bright and refreshed afterwards. Now, I haven’t actually gotten around to using the hand mask yet, but the salted coconut scrub is the ultimate scrub for your skin, especially dry hands. And, as always, the bath products were amazing. I loved the Yuzu and Cocoa bubble bar; it had such an amazing chocolaty yet sweet fragrance. 

4.) October 2017 Haul

20171005_231538

How cute are these? By far, the holiday ones (Halloween and Christmas) are the most clever designs. These cuties are:

  • Monster’s Ball Bath Bomb
  • Pumpkin Bath Bomb
  • Bewitched Bubble Bar
  • Ectoplasm Bath Bomb 

You may still be able to find these at Lush, but probably not. All the Christmas stock has taken over; but hey, you might get lucky. These Halloween bath bombs are scary good, with sweet fragrances and cute designs. 

That’s all for this haul. Stay tuned soon for my haul of winter and Christmas 2017 Lush goodies! 

Until next time,

Adorable Goodies: Macaroon Bath Bombs

Posted in Beauty/Fashion, Review, Uncategorized by

The other day I was looking around the mall when I popped into Ardène and went to their accessory/beauty section. Immediately I noted their adorable products, mostly their bright pink macaroon bath bombs. At first I wasn’t sure what it was because I had never seen a bath bomb shaped as a macaroon before. And I fell in love! The scent is super sweet and girly, leaving you feeling silky smooth with a hint of candy smelling sweetness. Plus, the shape is a bright pink macaroon. What’s not to love?!

You can pick these up at Ardène for $6.50 CAD each. Maybe next time they’ll make a pizza bath bomb. Now that would be perf.

Zoella Beauty Products Review

Zoella Beauty Products Review

Hello everyone! It’s been quite a while since my previous blog post, but I decided to get back into the hang of things with a review from one of my favourite bloggers and YouTubers: British blogger and style icon, Zoe Sugg, also known as Zoella. She has been so successful from her 2009 breakthrough on the web and since then has made a brand for herself. I decided to pick up a few of her most notable items and decided to give them a try. Here’s my 100% honest review! Enjoy! 🙂 

Zoella Lace Collar Purse 

img_2183

This purse was definitely one of the items that I was most excited for. I mean, look how perfect it is. It is elegant, a royal blue shade, has Zoella’s signature writing, and it looks glossy. And it is all of those things, though I was disappointed in the size. I had planned to fit a lot of makeup in it and use it as a makeup bag, but it’s about the size of a clutch purse. I made use out of it by storing beauty blenders inside. This item is absolutely adorable, good quality, and a must have for all beauty and Zoella fans. Definitely a great buy. 

Zoella Soak Opera Bath & Shower Cream

img_2186

When they say bath & shower cream, they’re not kidding around. This is seriously the creamiest bath & shower product I have ever used. A lot of shower gels are really liquidy, like the ones you get from Bath & Body Works. But this one is so creamy and lathers into your skin. When you’re taking a bath, you can feel your body soaking up in this delicious treat. The fragrance is very soft and subtle. What I like about it is, it’s a new take on scents for women. A lot of products these days are either really sweet smelling like candy or smell of cheap perfume but this one smells like a very elegant, beautiful, feminine fragrance which I absolutely love.

Zoella Fizz Bar Squares

img_2185 

Much like the Zoella Soak Opera cream, this fizz bar has an amazing feminine fragrance and makes bath time the best time. It makes your bath smell amazing, your skin soft and lightly fragranced and has a calm, soothing aroma that fills your tub and leaves you with high spirits. Again, another great buy. 

img_2187

All in all, Zoella Beauty products are amazing and I can’t wait to check out more of her stuff. She also released a new line lately that are products for your home including pillows, journals, pencils, and more. Stay up to date with Zoella and her lifestyle and beauty products by clicking here.

Product Review: Sexy Red Lip Tint By “Romantic Bear” ♡

Posted in Beauty/Fashion, Review, Uncategorized, Videos, Vlog, YouTube by

Romantic-Bear-Make-Up-12ml-Tint-WOW-Long-Lasting-Tint-Lip-Peel-Off-Lipstick-Fulllips-Lip

 

Today I’ll be reviewing a product for a lip tint in the colour sexy red by the brand “Romantic Bear”. You are supposed to smear the tint all over your lips, wait about ten minutes, peel it off, then it’s supposed to leave you with a beautiful natural looking colour. The price was good; only $1.00 per tube. You can get it on eBay for cheap. And from the reviews that I’ve seen, it works pretty great. But for some reason the one I bought was clumpy from the second I tried it. I can’t seem to make the substance more manageable to apply, so for that reason, I’m not as impressed by this product as I would like to be. For the price though, I cannot complain. It smells great and it looks good too. I would definitely buy again. For a more in depth review and to watch me apply it, please click the video posted down below.
