Top 5 | Haircare Products


Hi Everyone!

I have marked down my top 5 current hair care products that I use to maintain my hair and keep it looking healthy. First off, let me tell you a bit about my hair. I have generally straight (with the occasional wave), thick hair. I have never dyed my hair, which I think has helped it maintain the shine. I also have very oily hair, which does get annoying, and I tend to wash it every other day. My hair usually goes very light in the Summer and then darker in the Winter, sometimes a drastic change of colour where some people actually have asked me if I dye it.


I use the Batiste Dry Shampoo all year round, as it really soaks up any excess oil that I have in my hair. With blonde hair the grease tends to show alot more. The "Blush" scent is one of my favourites along with the tropical one that you can also get.

Lush's BIG Shampoo is my absolute favourite for clarifying and getting rid of build up from products that you use on a daily basis. It keeps my hair feeling clean longer than other shampoos.It has a very interesting texture, very unique to anything I have ever used. It also smells like a tropical vacation so that's always a plus in my books.

Davines All in One Milk is something that I have newly discovered, but it everything that you would want to your hair (shine, softness, controls frizz, and is a great heat protectant). It is similar to the Uniq One products, so I would say you could by one or the other. The Uniq one does smell like coconut, which is a reason I love it so much, but it does all of the things the Davines product does! Both are great products.

Lastly, another Davines products (clearly a fan) which is volume boosting mousse. This is the only product I have found that actually gives me alot of volume. Since my hair is generally straight and flat, its nice to have that volume once in a while and this product never lets me down!

Happy New Years!!


Hope everyone is having an amazing New Years Eve. Hoping that 2016 will be the best year yet for everyone. Whether you are enjoying a night out or relaxing at home with a good book in hand make sure you are spending your New Years the way you want to!
Here are a couple of the products I will be using to get me prepped for New Years:

1.) Davines "This is a Volume Boosting Mousse" product that is perfect to get that volume in my hair. The best part about this product is that it does not weigh down my hair. It holds the volume, yet my hair still feels bouncy and light.

2.) My new Citizen watch is my pride and joy, perfect for any outfit as it has hints of gold and silver in it. It is also solar charged therefore I never need to worry about charging it up!

3.) I typically get a new perfume every Christmas and this is the newest to my collection. Si by Giorgio Armani is my latest obsession. Its such a pretty smell with hints of Chypre, Blackcurrant Nectar, Airy Florals, and Musky Blond Wood.

4.) The Coach wristlet is perfect to hold your essential belongings in for a night out. When I don't feel like carrying alot this is my go-to clutch. 5.) This L'Oreal lipstick is the perfect red for New Years!


Hope everyone has a wonderful New Years and cheers to 2016 xoxo

Go-To Products | Winter Essentials

Hello Everyone!


Its about that time of year when the weather drastically changes and in turn so does our skin care and makeup routine. These are just a few of my favourite makeup products that have been getting me through the cold months.


1.) This Nars Dual-Intensity eyeshadow is everything!! I saw it online during the 20% off sale at Sephora, and just fell in love with the colour. The colour is in Dione which is a metallic champagne beige colour. The pigmentation is amazing and it has been my go-to eye shadow for the past month.

2.) Estee Lauder foundation has always been my favourite foundation. It is a thicker foundation, but it doesn't feel heavy on the face. I have probably talked about this a few times already, but literally that's how much I love it! This lasts all day, and I never have to touch up. The shade I use is cool bone, which I believe is the lightest shade in the collection.

3.) This primer is honestly the best primer I have ever tried.... and trust me I have tried them all! This doesn't even compare to the smashbox or benefit primer. This pores no more primer is by Dr. Brandt, and honestly erases my pores. It has a strong scent of tea tree oil, but if you like that scent you will love this product. It absorbs any oil throughout the day and doesn't bother my skin. I highly recommend this!!

4.) This product is the only thing I need for my hair. It is called Uniq One - All in One Treatment by Revlon. It claims to repair dry hair, control frizz, enhance shine, heat protection, adds body, detangles and best of all it smells of coconut!!! If you don't like the scent of coconut, you can get the original formulation, which is just as good. You can buy this a select hair salons and some Shoppers Drug Marts.



5.) This has been my favourite product for the past 2 months, and has significantly improved my skin. This is by Oz Naturals (I believe an American brand) that you can purchase on Amazon. It is very affordable as it is only $19.99. This is a Hyaluronic Acid serum, that helps to plump the skin and improves texture. I usually put this on at night before I put a heavy night cream. Since it is a serum, it sinks into the skin very quickly. I noticed a big difference in my skin even after two nights of using this product.

6.) This last product, I am sure everyone has already heard of. It is the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water, and helps to prime your makeup as well as set it. I like it for setting my makeup as it gives your skin a more natural finish after applying your makeup.
