Looky Eyes 3D Mascara Review*

*Press Sample

Asian lashes are a condition born by many. Mascaras that work for others fail to lift, to curl, or to volumize. The pile of options only grows as each new mascara falls into the 'natural lashes' euphemism and even the most adamant of sales pitches are no match for short straight lash hairs. The Looky Eyes 3D mascara* ($26CDN at Rexall, Pharmasave and Value Drug Mart) has some serious claims which might change that around.

Deciem Hylalmide SubQ Eyes*

*Press sample

Has everyone and their mom talked about this lately? Deciem has been getting a lot of blogger love lately and I was sent the Hylamide SubQ Eyes Advance Serum* ($35CDN, 15ml) to try. I've noticed a bit more under eye baggage and I've been using eye creams a bit more regularly.

Merry Christmas!

Hey dude,

I hope you're spending the Holiday season with the ones you love and that its a time filled with warmth and happiness! Merry Christmas!

Holiday Lip Considerations (ft. Essence Long Lasting Lipstick and XXXL Shine Gloss)*

Two lip considerations for the holidays:

1) Long lasting color through all your partying needs

and/or

2) High shine on the lips.

If this is you, and why wouldn't it be, there are two ranges in the Essence line that you might want consider.

Perfect Holiday Nails

If there was every a time for sparkly, the Holidays would be it. Though I may tread carefully with glitter on the face, glitter on the nails always works but even more so when the weather dips low and the streets are twinkling with lights.

Have you considered the perfect combination of foliage confectionary that would say, "YES this tree is SO ME!?" 

LUSH: Salt and Peppermint Bark Shower Scrub*

*Press Sample

Pumpkin Spiced Lattes (and everything else) have reached near "Rite of Passage" status during the Fall and Winter months but personally, I've always enjoyed Peppermint Mochas much more. I also enjoy Peppermint patties, peppermint tea, and peppermint chocolate so I was bound to enjoy the scent of LUSH's Salt and Peppermint Bark Shower Scrub* ($9.95CDN).

Sephora Stand Up and Shine Brush Set*

*Press Sample

If anything can be taken as a given during the Holidays, it would have to be acts of overindulgence and a plethora of make up brush sets for purchase. Sephora puts those two things together in its massive Stand Up and Shine Prestige Easel Brush Set* ($163CDN, 12 Brushes, valued at $320USD) where you can overindulge in beauty tools.

My Crazy Life (ft. Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Palette)*

My life, is crazy.

When I think about all the events that lead up to today, I know that there were pivotal events. A few years ago, running a blog was the furthest thing from my mind. Blogs didn't even exist in my frame of reference of feasible activities. A few years ago, the opportunity to partner with brands and to test out products would have sounded unreal, and yet that's what I do, for fun, multiple times a week. The course of my life has been unexpected and my life is crazy.

In this video, I:

- realized vlogs are hard to do.

- try my best to showcase a place I love.

- made you watch me talk with David. Sorry.

Other Ways to Style Barrettes (ft. Sephora Quick Fix Hair Barrettes)*

*Press Sample

My friends, let's consider the barrette. Simple in nature, these hair bobbles pin back ponytails, add pizzazz to hair dos and generally improve tidiness by 10x.  But a barrette is not as simple as it appears. This hair accessory is suprisingly multi-use. Here are some ways to style barrettes that have nothing to do with hair. 

Leaning Cool - Dior Eternal Gold*

Warm eyeshadows draw me in much more often than cool toned shadows but Dior's Holiday Palette in Eternal Gold ($70CDN) has been a change from my regular choices and its partly due to the shadow's performance.

THEFACESHOP has some amazing products and this was the first time I tried them out. There are enough items in stores to get you holiday ready and here is a #THEFACESHOPHoliday look that I created.

Brilliant Body Shop (ft The Body Shop Holiday items)*

The analyst in me loves the holiday season. Not only are new things out but its a great way to notice a brand's marking strategy and the successful products of previous seasons. The Body Shop has an amazing assortment of body care options and their holiday items are just hitting stores. This year I noticed that they're promoting the "Frosted" concept which they had started graphically the year previous.
