Huge Sephora Sale!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well. As you all probably already know, Sephora is having their Annual Sale and I just wanted to come on and share with you what I got. This is the first time that I purchased so much at once. Some of the things I got were new things I've been meaning to try and some are products that I absolutely love and took advantage of the sale to repurchase them. 

I hope you guys enjoy and hopefully you'll will find something that you would like to try out. Use code GIFTEASY at checkout. Remember that the sale ends December 12!


F.A.B (First Aid Beauty)- $64 ($148 value)

I have purchased this product year after year. I absolutely love this brand and love when they come up with this bundle during the winter months. This bundle is also perfect if you want to try their other products at a great price. Would definitely recommend.










Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation- $25

I first heard about this foundation from a Youtuber and I said to myself, this girl raves about it, it must me good. She was not kidding. This foundation is amazing. It's light-weight and you can built up your coverage. The best part is that there's 49 shades to choose from. I love when a brand takes in consideration the many types of skin colours there are. 






Valentino Voce Viva- $49

On one of my previous Sephora orders I was able to get this as a sample, and WOW. I was so in love with how beautiful this scent was that when I wanted to purchase the full size it was sold out. I loved it so much that I ended up purchasing the mini set. Isn't it cute?! If your into sweet fragrances, than this perfume is definitely one you should check out.

Key Notes: Italian Bergamot, Orange Blossom Absolute, Crystal Moss Accord







Sephora Holiday Collection
Sephora (The Essential Kit)- $27
Sephora (Holiday Vibes)-$14

I recently purchased this for my teenage niece who is starting to be grab some interest in skin care. I thought this would be a great way for her to start. It comes with make-up wipes, masks, facial wash and a lip scrub.







Marc Jacobs Beauty Lip Lacquer Lipgloss- $19

I love a pretty pink gloss, and this one is truly beautiful. It's very natural and great for your everyday look. I ended up buying 2 of these, one for me and the other for my niece. 






Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer- $39

I've always used liquid concealers so this was my first time trying out this type of concealer. I must say it's different but I like it. I would suggest applying it with your finger tips rather than a brush. It also comes in 29 other shades.








Voluspa Glass Jar Candle (Santal Vanille)- $18-$43

This smells so good! It's very light and not heavy which for some people is great.
 




Nest New York (Wild Poppy) Perfume Set-$100

Nest New York has a large variety of beautifully scented candles, perfumes oils, diffusers and fragrances. This is one of my favourite perfumes ever! When I saw that they were selling a bundle I was so excited I added it to my cart right away. It's perfect for those who love sweet fruity floral scents.

Key Notes: Rose de Grasse, Himalayan Jasmine, Pear





Hope you guys enjoyed!

Mini Sephora Haul!

Hi! Hope everyone finds themselves doing great. I know that it's been a hard few months but hopefully you are all managing with our new "normal". I can speak for myself when I say that things have been hard adjusting to, but also I've been doing my best to keep myself busy and motivated. Like I have mentioned in my past post, I have been doing a lot of DIY projects at home that have kept me occupied. My boyfriend and I recently re-designed our closet which I will share in the next post. 
Since we only go out to grab the necessary groceries and that's it, I find myself shopping online way more than I used to. I recently purchased a few things from Sephora that I needed to restock on and a few new things that I've been loving and wanted to share with you guys. 





I heard about these glow peel pads from a Youtuber- they are amazing! 

I've always been a huge fan of Ole Henriksen. If your in the market for a new skin care- this whole brand is fantastic!


This palette looked so fun and cute!


Love the packaging! And the colours are so pretty.



I've had my eye on this for awhile and so far I've been loving. Leaves my lips smooth and soft. Would of loved for it to have a little bit of flavour but thats ok, highly recommend. 


Everything I get from The Ordinary- I truly love! Such amazing products and super affordable.
This one in particular is great for your skin and hair.

This one helps reduces the looks of spots and hyperpigmentation.


This one helps with improving dullness in your skin. This product was actually chosen in Allure's Best Of Beauty 2019.
This is an oldie but a goodie. One of my favourite facial creams ever! My boyfriend also loves this one too :)
(Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream- $22.50- $65)





I hope you guys enjoyed and hopefully something caught your eye! Stay safe and take care

Current Amazon Faves & Finds!


Hi loves! Hope you are all doing great! So I'm back with another Amazon Finds post sharing some of the new things I have recently purchased. Since being on quarantine I have found myself purchasing a lot more things online then I used to and to be honest I don't mind at all. I hope you guys enjoy the post and find something you guys would like to try out.








1. MudBuster ($24.99)

This thing has changed my life! I take my dog out everyday for 2-3 walks a day and usually it's a 2 hours walk. He runs around like crazy, gets into mud and dirt and is always coming back home with dirty paws. Before it was so hard cleaning his paws since he's such a big dog (German Shepherd/Lab mix) but now it's so much easier to clean them. Total life changer!














2. Schick Silk Face Razor ($5.99)

I have been removing the peach fuzz from my face for a couple of years now, and I have always used this particular product. This is definitely a product that I highly recommend and trust.
















3. Along-Fit High Waisted Leggings ($28.99)

Okay! Let me just saw that I have purchased a million leggings (yes! I practically live in leggings) and wow! Was I surprised when I received these. My boyfriend actually got me these leggings after he saw me eyeing them for awhile. I was iffy about it at first because when I buy clothes I actually like touching the fabric and seeing first hand the quality of the clothing. But when they arrived was I surprised, the quality of these leggings actually feel nicer then other expensive leggings that I own and they are a fraction of the price. I would 100% recommend these! So much that I ordered a couple more pairs in different colours!









4. iPhone Case- Pink ($10.99)

Both of these iPhone cases are so cute! and really good quality.








iPhone Case- Neon Orange ($9.99)











  5. Malouf Bed Glides ($23.99)

I recently purchased a new headboard from Pottery Barn and purchasing these helped my give my bed the height that I needed in order to attach the screws to the bed frame.










6. Foot Spa Massager ($74.99)

This foot massager is life changing! I have it used a couple of times but I think that my mom has enjoyed this even more since she always using it! She loves it! haha and I can't blame her.










7. Rubbermaid Storage ($39.99)

I have never been a fan of tupperware, I feel like whatever I put in them stain the containers and they eventually start to smell throughout time but these ones don't stain nor do they smell so that's awesome.










8. Make-up Sponge ($13.99)

I love applying my make-up with a beauty sponge. I think it's a great tool to help apply your make-up beautifully, but it can get expensive. I always wash my beauty sponge to help eliminate the germs from it but I also like to replace them every now and then. This is a great dupe if your looking for one!









9. Beautural Lint Remover ($17.99)

This little thing will change your life! If you hate the lint that your clothing forms throughout the time after a few washes, then you'll love this guy! Once I use it on my clothes, it leaves them looking brand new! It's amazing! I have even used it on bed sheets which is amazing.










10. Sponge Storage ($2.74)

This is great way to store your beauty sponge and help prevent germs getting on it. Besides it's super cute! and comes in 3 different colours.








11. Multifunctional Clothes Hanger ($11)

I recently purchased these for my sister. She has 3 little girls so that means a whole bunch of clothes! So to help her store the girls clothes and not over crowd their closets and I thought this would be a great way to help her out.










12. Tie Dye Kit ($55.49)

I decided to get on the tie dye bandwagon! I've seen so many people get these and make cute shirts, shorts and socks. I thought it would be a cute idea to do these with my nieces. Besides these remind my of when I was a little kid.

3 DIY Face Masks

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing fantastic. As promised I wanted to share a couple of my DYI masks that I make at home. I love trying out new things especially if it's in the comfort of my own home. Like I mentioned before in my previous post, masks are one of favourite things that I like doing regarding my skin care so I thought it would be a fun idea to share some of the masks that I've done before.


Egg Mask

First off is the "egg mask". Seriously guys, all your going to need for this one is an egg and 2 bowls.. yup, I know your probably thinking- "what the heck is this girl talking about?" I swear that's all you'll need. Basically your going to separate the egg white into one bowl and the egg yolk into the other. Make sure you have a clean face before applying. Whip both egg white and yolk with a fork. Start applying the egg yolk first, all over your face. Leave on for a good 5 minutes. Once this is done, rinse with warm water and then apply the egg whites on your face. Leave on for 5 minutes or until you feel like your skin is tightening and you look like an old lady lol. Wash face with warm water, pat dry and add your preferred facial cream to finish.


Eggs are great for deep cleansing treatments. Since eggs are a source of protein, it actually helps firm your skin once you apply it as a mask. It also helps shrink and tighten your pores. I like to do this regularly because it helps avoid accumulating dirt on my face.






Avocado Mask

The next one includes avocado. Some of you probably have already tried this one at home and don't we agree this one is awesome? There a lot of DIY masks that you can do at home with avacados. Avocado oils helps hydrate your skin and also help reduce dark circles under your eyes. Avocado oils are often a main ingredient in lotions, gels, bath oils and masks. It has also been proven that an avocado mask is the best type of mask for people with acne-prone skin.

Your going to mash 1 large avocado with a fork. Add in about a teaspoon of plain yogurt and a teaspoon of honey and mix together until you form the consistency of a paste. Apply on your face with a brush or your fingertips and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and apply preferred facial cream to finish. 





Coconut Oil Mask

Coconut is a natural antioxidant which helps soften your skin making it look healthy and hydrated.
It's the perfect kind of mask if you are looking to brighten up your skin. All you need is 2 teaspoon honey, juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of coconut oil. Honey will help moisturize your skin and it also helps hydrate it.


The juice of a lemon helps kill the bacteria on your face, shrinking the pores and tightening your skin.
Mix all your ingredients into a bowl and apply to your face. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse off with warm water, pat dry and add preferred facial cream.

Hope you ladies give these mask a try. I know you guys will love them just as much as I do!

Sheet Masks!

Since I was a kid I've always been fascinated by those ladies in movies that have masks on with cucumbers on their faces- yes! and don't act like you didn't like it lol. I've done a few DYI masks at home which I will share with you guys on a post I've been working on, but when I don't have the time or really don't feel like making one I throw a sheet mask on, put some good old Netflix and chill on the couch. There are many different types of masks, which people typically use to give their skin the maximum amount of hydration and lock in moisture. These are fantastic to use all year round especially on those hot summer days or those brutal cold winter months. At this point in my life I consider them a total skincare staple! I love them so much that I make sure I stock up and have back-up all the time. 

With the weather getting colder I like to really dedicate myself in protecting my skin as much as possible and that includes wearing little make-up or sometimes if I don't need to go out all fancy and just run to the store really quick, then no make-up at all. I'm very lucky to have been blessed with good skin but I also think it has to do with the dedication that I put in taking care of it. My 30's are right around the corner, and with that said, it is very important to me to do everything possible to take care of my skin. Sheet masks really help to hydrate your skin so it doesn't feel dry. I personally feel like it helps give my skin a healthier look and even a natural glow. There's no better feeling when your in the middle of a conversation and someone asks how old you are and can't believe your age. Yes! I'm that person that feels amazing for the rest of the day when someone tells me- "oh my God, you look 25!"... hahaha


If anyone knows of any good sheet masks that I can try, I'd love to hear your recommendations.





Some of the masks I brought on my recent trip.





One of my favourite masks ever! So refreshing.
