Mother’s Day means spring to me. Sunshine, trees bursting into leaf, flowers popping up out of cold soil, grass getting greener and fresh lovely smells in the air. This year, we had record rainfalls where I live, lots of flooding, and days of grey cloudy cold days. I’m craving the soft sweet scents of spring,…
NEWS FLASH: I am a moisturizing fanatic. Honestly, if you could see my house….I have hand creams, body creams and lip balms everywhere. On every end table, in every “catch all” basket (ps I have a lot of these too. Send help). I have many lotions and creams that I like, many that I love,…
I recently had the opportunity to experience a new natural skincare line called Bella Aura. This Canadian line is the ultimate in luxury niche beauty, using the “finest natural ingredients in the world”. Bella Aura was created by Yasmine Jones, who is as lovely as her products. During a very stressful time in her life, Yasmine’s…
I knew I’d love Vichy NeoVadiol Magistral Elixir, simply because Vichy NeoVadiol Magistral cream has become an essential part of my moisturizing emergency kit this winter. This winter has been never ending, and it’s taking a toll on my skin. When the central heating is going strong, it sucks out every last drop of moisture…
Ok why did it take me so long to try this stuff? Hydraluron, made by Indeed Labs, is a gel-serum designed to boost the performance of any moisturizer. It is to be used under your creams/lotions/serums and is basically full of hyaluronic acid goodness, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, keeps it there, making…
I am a fan of Dermaglow skincare, and their Lip Plumping balm is a staple in my make up arsenal. I got the chance to try their new Dermaglow BB Eye Illuminator- available at drugstores in Canada. It’s not listed on their website yet, and I don’t know if anyone outside Canada can get their…
Or, in which I am not surprised that I am blown away by another Vichy product. I am a Vichy ProEVEN fan, and use it every day, as do both of my daughters. Since I’ve been using Vichy ProEVEN, I’ve never used less concealer in my life. I hear this from readers as well. So…
I have a real problem with hair/skin treatments that call themselves “oils” when they are really 90%+ silicone. Bulletin: these are 90% of treatment oils on the market, for hair especially. If you like silicones, and find they work for you, well, this is good news for you. Silicones coat the hair with a smooth…
We love The Body Shop. All of us have our fave prodz from this awesome shop – maybe it’s a perfume (White Musk!), one of their luscious Body Butters (Shea Butter!), or perhaps a delicious shower gel (Satsuma!). Or if you are as old as I am, maybe you remember when they had their super…
Skincare fanatic that I am, how could I NOT try LUSH Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner? A cream you apply in the shower just before hopping out then rinse off to feel all moisturized and soft? Yes please. In spite of the silly name. Firstly, the “Ro’s” is a play on words and by that I…
