perfume whisperer
I am a lover of lip gloss, especially soft and natural shades that make lips look plump and cushiony. Lucie + Pompette is a gorgeous niche beauty brand that I stumbled upon meandering around Instagram. I found out there is lots of love for Lucie + Pompette and for good reason! From their site: Lip…
Guerlain Mahora is a reviled Guerlain offering from 1999, partially I think because it should have been release in 1985. Or maybe even 1965. It’s lush, animalic, unapologetically rich and, to me, absolutely gorgeous. Mahora is Jacques Guerlain’s last creation for the house, released after Guerlain’s other weird and divisive Samsara. I happen to love…
Essie hit it out of the park again with their Winter 2015 collection. I love that Essie always includes pale pastels for cool weather. Yes, we love our vampy shades, but I find a pale lavender mani elegantly unexpected for winter wear. Seriously, the pale Virgin Snow is one of my favourite colours in rotation…
Little mini review for a terrific product I can’t imagine being without. Shu Uemura Wonder Worker Air Dry Spray is exactly that – a product to help with air drying and texture. A hybrid product that combings haircare with styling benefits, Wonder Worker is a multi-tasking leave in spray that perfects the hair’s surface to enhance…
I love many types of scents, but I do tend to go on about soft and clean scents. The truth is I love many, including scents with volume and reach. I suppose there are many loud and ugly fragrances out there, and soft clean ones are often hard to find. I may love perfume, and…
I recently had the opportunity to try a line of coconut oils called Skinny & Company Coconut Oil, made from coconuts wild harvested in the jungles in Vietnam. Skinny & Co’s patent-pending Nutralock System™ crafts the ONLY raw & alkaline coconut oil on the market today. And the extraction uses no heat to extract, rather cooling…
It seems every beauty line is selling facial oils. And for good reason! I love them, and I know a lot of people do as well. My first facial oil love, Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate, is still a favourite and is the perfect way to wake up rested and glowing. I’ve been incorporating oils into…
The world of niche perfumes is a fascinating one, and one that I love exploring. I was so happy to stumble upon Roads perfumes in New York City, then again in Toronto (that was at Holts Bloor and I don’t know if they still carry the line?). I fell in love with one right away,…
I’ve always loved Phyto products, and how they have been on the cutting edge of haircare since their beginnings in 1967. The first Phyto product I used I used was ages ago, the original Phytoplage line which had an oil that protected hair from the sun. It was, and still is, an amazing product, and…
Sometimes it’s the little things that make us happy. And this little pot of Nuxe goodness is one of my favourite happy little things. At $17 CAD, Nuxe Rêve de Miel Lip Balm (honey dream!) is one of the more luxurious lip balms at the drugstore, but considering it is from the divine Nuxe line,…
