I remember vividly about 7 years ago I was in desperation mode to cure the cystic breakouts I was experiencing with my skin.  This was pre-organic skincare years and I travelled every possible road to try and find the perfect solution. One of my biggest investments (and biggest regrets) was when I purchased a Clarisonic facial brush from Sephora years ago. I thought this would help me get deeper into the pores, scrub out debris and leave me with glowing perfect skin like the models they had shown in their ads. This was SO far from the truth.. in fact, it did the complete opposite and left my skin worse off than it already was. My skin got angry, red, broke out even more (which at that point I didn’t know was possible). Not to mention, the Clarisonic left a huge dent in my wallet.

Vapour is a product line that is easy to apply, easy to wear, full of beautiful colour options and good for anyone who may have dehydrated skin as they’re all balm/liquid based. I’ll get to the THREE full sized products you can find in this box now, so scroll on down to see my thoughts and how I use these in my makeup routine.

A Guide to Safe Natural Sun Protection + Natural & Cruelty Free Sunscreen Options

July 18, 2018

Sun safety is something that I have taken very seriously over the years following the rebellious sun worshiping days in my teens and early 20’s. Now being in my 30’s, I understand the damage I have done to my skin in the past while sun bathing irresponsibly. I have had my fair share of sunburns and am seeing the effects of sun bathing on my skin through fine lines and discolouration over the years. For many years I have been on the path to prevent any further damage and to try and reverse some damage done (not so easy to do). This article is a compilation of some of my favourite sun safety tips as well as mini reviews of many of the natural and cruelty free sunscreens I’ve tried over the years (some I love, some are okay.. I think it is important to keep an honest dialogue on which products work best, are safest, and my personal thoughts on them). I’ve included products that are multi-purpose, for face, for body, for children, for beach days (ie. waterproof), and for regular days where you don’t want to necessarily feel all greased up. To start off, I wanted to share some facts on sun care that I’ve learned over the years to help you along on your own sun safety research journey and to make your own informed choice when it comes to safe sun practices.

Clove + Hallow Review + Swatches: Lip + Complexion

June 25, 2018

Clove and Hallow is a high performance green make up brand that has taken the green beauty world by storm since it unveiled a few years ago. It’s no surprise that this makeup performs, as it was formulated by a Makeup artist who was becoming uncomfortable with the ingredients she was seeing in conventional beauty brands and wanted to create a makeup line that would work just as well but didn’t come with the added unnecessary chemicals. This goal has transformed into a growing line of intense beautiful pigments that STAY on the skin and don’t lose their lustre by the end of the day.

Natural + Cruelty Free Hair Product Guide

May 7, 2018

Hair care is something I get excited over.. I have long, naturally curly, colour treated hair so I find it can be difficult to find shampoos and conditioners that perform, don’t weigh down my hair, leave a sticky residue or leave my hair tangled and unmanageable. It can be even more tricky to find options that are natural as the products in health food stores tend to not really work for me. They seem a bit archaic in their formulations and don’t really cater to the girl who wants clean products that work just as well as salon brands. Not to mention, a lot of the brands in the health food stores still aren’t quite as clean as I would like them to be. But this just leaves the excitement of the hunt to find the best hair products that are still super clean, something that I think I’ve managed to crack over the years of testing out product after product. I’ve really narrowed it down here to hair products that I use regularly.. and while I may add some more here and there down the way, you can be sure that these are the top performers of the bunch.

The weather is finally coming around and May is bringing some sunshine and warmer temperatures along with it. I always like to switch up some of my products when the seasons change and that is why I am SO excited to talk about May’s Detox Box from the Detox Market. This month they chose a brand that I’ve been seeing quite a buzz around lately and after trying them myself, I am totally jumping on board with the hype! They are the perfect additions to any summer skincare regime and its been love at first pump since I opened these bottles.
