Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask Review

Youth to the People launched their Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask in early 2019, and I had to pick one up right away. It is a sleeping mask, which means you can leave it on overnight, no need to rinse. It works it's magic while you sleep! And trust me, it is pure magic. … Continue reading Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask Review →

💕A sink full of faves! 💕 My dad came over to do some renos last weekend and I am so happy with how the bathroom turned out! The only sad thing is that we fixed it up so that we can sell our house. I got a big girl job (lol permanent student life) so we’ll be moving to a new country and a new coast in January! I am so excited for the new adventure, but also really nervous! Super stressed about packing up my whole house, especially all my beauty products, since we’ll be living out of a suitcase for the first couple months. This definitely calls for a huge declutter, but you can be sure that all the beauties pictured here will be coming with me. This sink shot was definitely influenced by mega babes like @skincareglam_ @the.skinny.on.skin @clean.real.beauty Some items kindly gifted by the brands.
Sharing some old and new faves on this pink Wednesday 💕 The first one I have to mention is the @indeedlabs Hydraluron Moisturizer. I have been using this twice a day since I received it at the #tofallbeautybrunch. It’s soooo good! It’s so deeply hydrating, it’s affordable, and it passes all the checks on skincarisma. A definite win in my books! I’ve also been trying a couple of @juicycouture fragrances. Viva la Juicy Bowdalicious is like summer in a bottle. It has notes of coconut, vanilla, tiare, melon, and pear. I absolutely love it! Juicy Oui! Is a bright and fresh fragrance with watermelon, pear, amber, and musk, but unfortunately is not my style. I don’t know what it is about pink products, but they’re always extra cute! What pink goodies have you been loving lately? 💕 The products mentioned were gifted.
✨ Little treasures ✨ Today is the last day to pick up some @mejuri pieces during their only sale of the year. I was so happy when they sent over their croissant dôme cuff! It looks so cute paired with any of my mejuri earrings, but my fave combo is with the scarab hoops. The Croissant collection was definitely my favourite one they did this year! 🥐 I’ve had my eye on the croissant dôme ring since it launched so will definitely be picking that up! It’s 10% off 1 item, 15% off 2, or 20% off 3+ items. It’s the perfect time to pick up some holiday gifts or to treat yourself! *jewelry kindly gifted by the brand What are the best cyber Monday deals you’ve found? Share them below 👇👇
The holidays are in the h(air) 🎄❤️ @functionofbeauty kindly gifted me their newly released limited edition holiday blends, and I’ve been loving them! You can pick up the shampoo and conditioner in a festive red and green duo. My favourite part is definitely the scent called Naughty or (Sp)ice. It is AMAZING! A sweet and spicy blend of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, it smells like a freshly baked batch of holiday cookies! It’s definitely my favourite scent of theirs that I’ve tried (with Feelin Fineapple in 2nd, and Nude Peach in 3rd)! I’m so happy that I got it STRONG! One of my favourite cold-weather fragrances is @maisonmargielafragrances By The Fireplace. The combo of this fragrance and Naughty or Spice is 🔥🔥🔥 and will have you looking, smelling, feeling like a snack. 👌 I also tweaked my formula this time around. I chose the formula for fine, wavy, oily hair with the goals of volume, heat protection, colour protection, oil control, and strengthening. The previous formula was a little heavy on my hair, but this one is perfect. 🥰 If you’d like to try Function as a holiday treat for yourself or a personalized gift for a friend, you can use the code SHAMPOO4U (not affiliate) to save 20% until Dec 31st! I’d love to hear what you got up to this weekend! ❤️
These stacked pearl hoops from @mejuri are everything! 🙌 I love that their pieces are elegant, yet playful. I’ve fallen in love with their understated pieces that add a touch of luxury to any outfit... and I’ve fallen hard! The great news is that they are having their Black Friday sale right now until Dec 2nd. It’s their only sale of the year, so if you’ve been eyeing anything, now’s the time! These organic pearl stacked hoops were kindly gifted ✨ #mejuri #finecrew #stackedpearls
Third time’s the charm 🎓
It’s really Monday y’all. Sharing a bright and cheerful shelfie of my ride or dies to give some inspiration for the week. 🙌 What’s inspiring you this week? ✨💫
A @youthtothepeople appreciation post ✨ I absolutely love this brand, not only for their killer products but for their ethos as well. They are committed to sustainable formulas and packaging and they advocate for inclusivity and change in the community through their Good to the People organization. The Kombucha Power Toner is the star of this shot. It is an 11% AHA solution that gently exfoliates to reveal a more even tone and texture. I notice that my skin is visibly calmer the morning after using it. It does have a sticky texture but I find that letting the product sink in and waiting 5 minutes before completing the routine helps with this! My favourite way to use this is at night by applying with a reusable cotton round after cleansing with the Superfood Face Wash, then spritzing the Adaptogen Mist, and following with the Dream Mask. You skin will be seriously soft the next day! Have you tried #youthtothepeople? What’s your favourite product?
Dreaming of Milano ✨ It’s snowing today in Toronto and I’m reminiscing about my time in Italy. It was absolutely gorgeous!! I can’t wait to go back one day. How is everyone’s Monday going?
🖤 Thé Noir 🖤 This fragrance by @lelabofragrances has been my latest obsession. It is very special to me because it was a gift from my husband that we picked up on our honeymoon. Every time I wear it I think of the beautiful memories we made. The fragrance is so mysterious and beautiful. It opens with notes of fig, bergamot, and bay and is rounded off by cedar, tobacco, and musk. The juxtaposition of the notes creates a truly addictive scent because every whiff is different, with the different layers constantly vying for attention. It evolves throughout the day so beautifully! I am so happy to have this in my collection. It is definitely different from my typical scents and is so beautiful for fall and winter especially. #lelabo #thenoir #fragrance
I’ve been trying out some products from @goodmolecules over the last couple months. They sent over the Instant Cleansing Balm, Niacinamide Brightening Toner, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and Ultra-Hydrating Oil. My favourite of the bunch is definitely the Hyaluronic serum. It is light and hydrating, very well priced, and not sticky at all. It also really like the Niacinamide toner. I think these two work really well together and I’ve been using the combo in the morning. The oil is nice and simple, made with only two ingredients: sea buckthorn and camellia oils. I like it under my night moisturizer. Sinks in fast, but is still a substantial oil. It reminds me of the Phoenix oil, but I actually prefer this one (and it’s waaaay cheaper). Also good to note, it doesn’t have the weird smell that sea buckthorn products tend to have! My least favourite of the bunch is the cleansing balm. It does its job in terms of removing makeup, but I find it irritating to my eyes, probably due to the essential oils used to scent the product. It also leaves me with foggy vision after using, so for that reason I’ve only been using it on days when I don’t wear eye makeup, to avoid the area completely. Overall, I think the brand offers nice simple products at an affordable price point. They do simplified, targeted formulas similar to The Ordinary or The Inkey List, however I enjoy using these more than the products I have tried from the other brands at a similar price point. These were gifted, but all opinions are my own. #goodmolecules #beautylish #skincare
Sharing a few cuties from @pacificaurabotanicals on this #minimonday 💕 I purchased the Glow Babies mini set when they launched and I’m so happy I did because it’s been a great way to try the brand. Gelly Gelly is a gel cleanser with a slightly sweet citrus scent. It gently lathers and contains exfoliating superfruit acids to brighten Merbabe is a physical exfoliant powder that is activated my water. It has coconut, sea clay, and bamboo. I like this one because you can also use it as a mask! It leaves skin soooo smooth. Maldive Glow is a hydrating essence that is so refreshing on the skin. It has a slight cooling sensation when you apply it! Hope you’re all having a fantastic Monday! 😘 #pacificaurabitanicals
Sharing my #FriYAYfaves inspired by @the__glow__girl 💕 Loving this basket of of beauties! Also!! The Sephora sale started today for Rouge members! Are you planning on picking anything up? What’s on your Wishlist? 🛍 *some items gifted
🥑 Avocado Melt 🥑 I picked up the @glowrecipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask at the last Sephora Sale. With the Holiday Sale around the corner, I thought I’d share some thoughts. My undereye has always been an area I have struggled with. They are deep and shadowy. Lately, fine lines are also becoming more of a concern. I decided to try this product because of the added retinol, hoping that it could help address these issues. It’s my first eye product with retinol. In the past, I have been very reactive to retinol. It usually leaves my skin flaky and sensitized. I am so happy that I have not experienced any sensitivity at all with this. I actually find it quite gentle on the eyes. Many eye creams leave me with crusty, watery eyes in the morning, but I haven’t experienced it with this one, which makes me happy! It is very hydrating and silky to apply, which I love. I mean come on, look at that texture 🤩 In terms of results, I haven’t noticed much yet, but I do understand that retinol takes some time to show noticeable improvement. I am also prone to milia, and haven’t noticed any new spots or congestion since using. All in all, it feels nice and hydrating and I don’t have any negatives to report, so that’s a win in my book! 🥑 Have you tried a retinol eye cream? #glowrecipe #retinol #eyecream #avocado #sleepingmask
Happy Sunday everyone!! Sharing a @drunkelephant shelfie with the Shelf Control kit. It fits the midi sizes perfectly!

In the last 29 days I spent only 6 at home. 6 countries, 10 cities, 9 flights, 3 trains, 5 time zones. ✈️ It’s been wild. And my skin has been freaking out as a result. Now I know why @marianna_hewit and @laurengores created the Jet Lag mask. Flying takes such a toll on your skin. I’ve been applying the @summerfridays Jet Lag mask before takeoff and as a sleeping mask at night and it definitely helps to lock in moisture. The mask as well as my @kosascosmetics Lip Fuel have been mainstays in my carryon for the last month. With all that said, I’m so happy to be home! What are your go to travel essentials? #summerfridays #jetlagmask #travelessentials
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! The gold vermeil Scarab Hoops from @mejuri drooped today and I’m so in love with them! They’re pretty, yet slightly odd and add such character to any outfit. Plus, scarabs are a symbol of luck, protection, and transformation. I’ll be wearing these all spooky season and beyond. **gifted #mejuri #mejurimenagerie

Some exciting news for all you haircare lovers: @functionofbeauty added TWO new products to their lineup of custom hair formulas today! 💕 Meet the hair mask and the hair serum! Can we take a second to look at the luscious texture of this mask! It is so rich and luxurious, yet spreads easily onto your hair without having to use too much. The serum feels similar to an oil and can be used both wet or dry. My favourite is in wet hair to help detangle and add heat protection! First impressions: my hair is super soft and manageable, and looks ultra silky and shiny! 💁🏻‍♀️ The process was just as easy as ordering their shampoo & conditioner. You just start by taking the hair quiz and choose your hair type, hair goals, and pick the scent and colour! Here’s what’s in my formula for my fine, wavy, normal hair: 🌈 Colour Protection 🔥 Heat Protection 📏 Lengthen 💊 Replenish 💨 Volumize I also chose the scent Feelin’ Fineapple 🍍🥥. It smells SOOO GOOD! Like a day at the beach, I’m obsessed. The mask leaves the hair beautifully scented, but I find the serum is very faint. I also wanted to let you guys know that Function of Beauty is offering a special deal for the month of October. You can save 20% off your order by using the code “DEARHAIR”. This is NOT an affiliate code, just a discount for y’all! These were kindly gifted by Function of Beauty! #functionofbeauty #customhaircare #personalizedhaircare #hairgoals
My love for the @kosascosmetics LipFuel lip balms definitely grew while on vacation. ✈️ I brought two of them with me - Baseline (clear) and Pulse (warm nude). These feel incredible on your lips. You know that feeling where you just keep smushing your lips together because they’re so soft? That’s what you get with these. They’re not thick or goopy, and the hydration is lasting too! I absolutely love the shade Pulse because it gives a sheer wash of colour that is just enough to make you feel like you’ve put some effort in and keeps your lips feeling so smooth! These are perfection! 👌 Kosas has quickly become my favourite brand for clean beauty, especially their lip products. I have raved to no end about their Weightless Lip Colour, and these balms are a perfect complement to those! I also wanted to wish a Happy 4th Birthday to Kosas!! 🥳 These were kindly gifted by the brand, but as always all opinions are my own. #kosascosmetics #beautyundone #kosasport #lipfuel
