Beautiful Tigi Foxy Curls

Inspired by this Beautygeeks post and the gorgeous Janine, I decided to do my version of the beachy blow dry. I love that loose casual beach hair look it’s one I sport all summer, but after summer we perhaps want a slightly more polished look without being to “done”. As much as I love silky smooth hair, sometimes a full all over blow dry is a bit much and frankly [...]

 

The Beautiful Spicy Flowers of Creed Tubereuse Indiana

Tubereuse Indiana is one of my favourite Creed perfumes.  It has the famous creed ambergris base that I find so mouth watering- it lingers on my skin forever and gets warmer as the day or evening goes on. It’s a different twist on tuberose- warmed up with vanilla and ambergris and some spice that is not listed by Creed- it takes the white floral and makes it sweet. This isn’t [...]

The holidays are the [...]

 

Exuberance Silicone-Free Primer is So Beautiful!

I’ve been meaning to review this for awhile, but, like my favourite perfumes, I tend to be at a loss for words when it comes to reviewing things I love. What should be an objective description and assessment comes off as gushing. Well, I guess that’s ok, and gird your loins for some gushing. I love the “idea” of a make up primer- mattifying, smoothing and a reduction of shine. [...]

 

Kiehl's Beautiful Acai Damage Correcting Moisturizer

My Kiehl’s love affair continues. I will be buying a 2nd bottle of their Açai Moisturizer after using it as a day lotion. Unlike many products I have, I use it daily since purchasing it in June, but I still have a few months to go on my bottle. The key ingredient in this is Açaí – a “super berry” sourced from Brazil with exceptionally high levels of nutrients and [...]

Cheap & Cheerful Beauty - Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion

This is just a simple “love this” review for Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion. Anyone who knows me well, knows I am a moisturizing fiend. I cannot bear the feel of dry tight skin, and usually apply body lotion at least once a day. Don’t even get me started about hand lotion….I keep small bottles in my purse and scattered around my house. I’m usually happiest in humid climates like [...]

 

Beautiful True Red- Essie Fishnet Stockings

My daughter Emilie and I are constantly searching out nail polish. We love the new collections and the myriad of “it” colours that come out each season. We love cool and interesting colours, and colours that compliment our skin tone. And then there is the search for The Perfect__________. You know what I mean. We always want The Perfect Mauve,  Greige, Pink, Teal- you name it. She told me ages [...]
