I’ve been so curious about Violette_Fr since seeing it on the vanities of the chicest people I follow online. Not to mention that the founder is so effortlessly cool and gorgeous that I’d buy anything she says I need. Violette Serrat is a French makeup artist who created her own line of perfect beauty basics…
By now we all know we need a vitamin C product in our facial skincare, right? It’s a powerhouse ingredient in skincare and a triple threat you should have on your counter right now. Vitamin C is, first of all, an antioxidant, which can help with our skin’s natural regeneration process and in repairing damaged…
I’ve been visiting the good people at The Ottawa Clinic for some skincare treatments lately and have been quite excited to share my experiences with you.

I’ve found not everything…

A month of using Lise Watier Sublimessence twice a day has made positive changes in the condition of my skin. It feels smooth, has a gentle glow and feels fresh. I’ve been using less concealer and powdered foundation than usual. I love how my skin feels immediately after applying it. It imparts an instant dewy…
I’ve been a long time lover of Skinceuticals. I took these three products on a test drive for August and fell in love all over again. Skinceuticals Blemish+Age Defense Serum is a miracle liquid that targets sebum production, unclog congested pores and reduces the appearance of spots and blemishes. I wrote about my love for…
One of my best friends has been singing the praises of Eminence Organics skincare for years. I’ll admit to pooh-poohing organic and natural skincare in the past, but boy have things in that niche changed. I finally went to the famous Ottawa boutique spa, Oresta Organic Skincare, for one of the best facials I have…
