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 →

Sharing some pretty pink and purple things today 💕 . I’ve been busy finishing up my PhD dissertation, so have been a little less active lately, just trying to keep it all together! I’ve been trying out some items from the new line @Myclairnsofficial. These products are geared to a younger generation than the traditional Clarions line, and all the products are vegan, boast mostly plant-based natural ingredients, and reasonably priced. . I’ve been trying the Re-Fresh mist and the Re-Boost moisturizer. I’ve enjoyed both of them, although not enough to replace any of my HG products. The mist is quite lovely and does feel very refreshing, but I’m not a huge fan of the floral fragrance. It has a good light-medium spray - it doesn’t attack you when you spray it, but your face does get fully moistened with only a couple sprays. . The Re-Fresh cream has a nice gel texture that’s light on the skin, which I like for these warmer months, and it does have a cooling effect when applied. I think both of these would be suitable for dry or oily skin, but I would be cautious for sensitive skin because of the fragrance and fruit acids. These are both free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol, and the mist is silicone free. . Both of these @myclarinsofficial products were sent to me for review purposes from @chickadvisor. All opinions are my own. . #trymyclarins #myclarins #clarins #chickadvisor #freesample #skincare

Happy Monday! 💕🍵 . Sharing a #matchapinkmonday shelfie with some pink and green faves! . I’ve been trying out a couple products recently thanks to @lovebeautyandplanet @cakebeauty and @topbox. I was sent samples of the Rose Shampoo and Conditioner. I love that LBP is a vegan and cruelty free brand that is silicone, paraben, and dye free. The shampoo is quite lovely, it leaves my hair soft and clean, but I feel that the conditioner leaves my hair feeling heavier and not as hydrated as I would like. It is coconut oil based and I find my fine hair doesn’t do the best with coconut oil conditioners. I do quite enjoy the Rose scent though! The Cake Beauty Delectable body butter cream smells fantastic, like a tropical citrus dream! It is a thick, rich, moisturizing lotion that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy once rubbed in, which I really like! The texture of the cream feels whipped, creamy and luxurious and it sinks beautifully into the skin. I love that it’s Canadian made, cruelty free, and vegan. I will definitely have to pick up more of this one! These products were sent for review, but as always, all opinions are my own. . Monday’s can suck, especially in the summer, so drop me some Monday Motivation! 👇 . #trywithtopbox #trylovebeautyplanet #lovebeautyandplanet #cakebeauty #delectable #freeproduct #shelfie #skincare #haircare

My @nudestix collection just grew a whole lot! They had an incredible sale to celebrate Canada Day and I picked up a few things I’ve had my eye on including the Nudies Bloom in Poppy Girl, and the Summer Proof Kit which includes 3 nudies, a lip glacé, and a magnetic glimmer. I absolutely LOVE how the nudies blooms look on the cheeks. So fresh, glowy, and bright. Absolutely perfect for summer! Swipe to see them in action! I’ve also saved the demo that I did on my stories to a NudeStix highlight if you’re curious! . I’m just a little obsessed if you couldn’t tell! 😍 . #nudestix #gonudebutbetter #nudiesbloom #nudestixirl

☀️ Some of my favourite facial SPFs ☀️ It takes some trial and error to find what works for you, and can depend on a lot of factors. These are a few that I’ve come to love, all for different reasons. . ☀️ @tartecosmetics Tarteguard tinted moisturizer and mineral powder sunscreen. The tinted moisturizer is great when you want a little coverage, but I don’t like how limited the shade options are. The powder is excellent to touch up during the day especially in the T-zone, or to mattify another screen like Umbra Tinte. I always keep this powder in my purse. ☀️ @drunkelephant Umbra Tinte. This is a forever favourite. It makes you so glowy and radiant. I find myself going for this one on days when I want to wear makeup (not foundation, I wear this instead). It is better suited for dry skin I would say, as it can be a tad oily. ☀️ @farmacybeauty Green Screen. This one is now called Green Defense and is in recyclable packaging. This is the one I reach for most days when I’m running out the door and not wearing makeup. It pairs really well with D-Bronzi for an added glow. I am almost out of this one and I am sad because I’m not sure if the new version is being released in Canada. ☀️ @muradskincare City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA++++. This one is also an excellent everyday option. It is such a thin consistency for a mineral screen, and doesn’t leave any heaviness or greasiness at all. It wears well alone and underneath foundation. It sinks in right away, and has a slight peach tint with no white cast. The only drawback is that it’s very expensive! I’m almost out and would definitely repurchase (when the budget allows #PhDlife) . What are you favourite sunscreens? ☀️

Sharing a glitter edit of my favourite @drunkelephant routine ✨ This is the perfect morning routine to brighten, hydrate, strengthen, and protect your skin. With a boost of vitamins B, C, D, E, and F, peptides, and mineral sun protection, your skin will get the antioxidants and protection it needs to defend from environmental stressors and aging. . ✨ All the sparkle is totally inspired by my girls @skincareglam_ @celebratingskincare @clean.real.beauty . #drunkelephant #skincare #drunkelephantskincare #drunkinlove🐘 #cleancompatible #acleanbreak

🌈 Pride to the People 🌈 . If you’re in the market for a new cleanser, consider picking up this special #pride edition of the Superfood Cleanser from @youthtothepeople. Not only is it a bomb ass cleanser, but they’re donating the profits to @glsen, an organization that helps to create safe spaces for lgbtq+ youth in schools. . I whole-heartedly love and support YTTP and this collaboration just reinforces why. Although this cleanser was gifted by the brand, it is one that I have purchased, and will continue to purchase with my own money. . #youthtothepeople #glsen #pridetothepeople #skinisskin #loveislove #skinhasnogender #superfoodcleanser #yttp #skincare

My YTTP gang 🌿 There are some new additions as well as some well-loved favourites. I have been just obsessed with their new Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist lately. It has the finest mist I’ve ever tried, and just makes my skin feel SO good! I’ve been using it immediately after cleansing, before the rest of my routine. I am also really missing the Superfood Moisturizer right now (it’s empty). I told myself I was going to finish more of my stash before buying anything new, but I’m going to have to break that rule for this one. It is the perfect lightweight daytime moisturizer for the warmer months! The adaptogen mist and adaptogen moisturizer were kindly gifted by the brand. #youthtothepeople #yttp #skincare

Coming at you with a #texturetuesday that’s bougie af ✨ . I recently picked up the Chanel Les Beiges Eau de Teint in shade Medium Light. It is a sheer coverage foundation that features bubbles of pure pigment suspended in a hydrating gel that contains 95% water. . It feels very light, fresh, and hydrating on the skin. After reading reviews on how sheer this was, I was actually surprised by how much coverage it had. I’d say it’s somewhere between Glossier Skin Tint and a tinted moisturizer/ BB cream. Perfect for summer days! It also give a beautiful glass-skin finish. @bambidoesbeauty totally inspired me to pick this one up! . Swipe to see more shots of this beauty! . . . @chanel.beauty @chanelofficial @welovecoco #chanel #chanelbeauty #chanellesbeiges #lesbeiges #chaneleaudeteint #chanelwaterfreshtint #welovecoco #luxurybeauty #luxurylover #bougieaf #texturetuesdays #igtopshelfie #skinstagram #skincarecommunity #makeuplovers #makeupobsessed #beautyobsessed #beauty #chanelskincare #gorillasecrets #luxury #texture #luxebeauty #beautyblogger #bbloggersca #canadianbeautyblogger #weloveluxury #welovechanel #byrdiebeauty

👻 Verb Ghost Mask 👻 . I was pumped to collab with @verbproducts and @joinpalm this month to try their Ghost Hair Mask. . This is a light-weight deep conditioning mask made with Verb’s cult-favourite Ghost Oil blend. I was excited to try this product out since my hair is super fine and most conditioning treatments can make it feel heavy and greasy. Since I lightened my hair a year ago, the light bits have felt dryer and more damaged than my natural hair. I’m always looking for ways to keep it as healthy as possible! . The Ghost Mask has a creamy consistency that is easy to apply and spread out. It works quickly with a recommended application time of 5-7 minutes. I let it sink in while doing a body scrub and washing my face in the shower. The mask is rich in glycerin and moringa seed oil to moisturize, soften, and detangle hair. I have been using it once a week, and notice that my hair looks and feels softer and smoother, yet it still feels light and bouncy! I’ve also been applying their Ghost Oil as a leave-in conditioner before styling for extra shine and hydration. These work really nicely together!! . The best part is that this mask is only $18 CAD or $16 USD!! Just like all of Verb’s products. The Ghost Mask is free of parabens, sulfates, and gluten. It is also cruelty-free. . . . . #palmbffs #femfeed #joinpalm #verb #verbhaircare #verbproducts #verbghostmask #ghosthairmask #hairmask #hairtransformation #haircare #hairproducts #hairrecommendations #showerproducts #showercare #verbfriends #showerrecommendations #showershelfie #nobadhairdays #goodhairdays #gorillasecrets #palmcrew19 #hairreview #hairblogger #skinstagram #skincarecommunity #ghostoil #hairclips #pearlclips #crueltyfree

#WhiteWednesday 🕊 featuring the Amore Pacific Treatment Enzyme Peeling Masque. I’ve been trying out this mask thanks to @topbox and @amorepacific.ca. It was sent to me complementary for testing purposes. . It is an exfoliating mask with 0.7% Glycolic Acid and 0.6% sodium lactate to improve skin clarity and texture. It has an interesting powder-in-gel texture that turns into a cream when you rub it onto the skin. . It is gentle and doesn’t tingle or leave the skin with any redness. I like that it’s quick and easy to use, with a suggested masking time of only 5 minutes. My skin did feel really soft the mornings after I used it, but I haven’t noticed any dramatic results. I don’t like how fragranced this product is. I would avoid it if you are sensitive to fragrances. It has a very strong scent that reminds me of the Ralph by Ralph Lauren perfume I used to wear in middle school. This mask is $82 CAD for 80 ml. At that price tag, I can’t see myself repurchasing this one. I’m not wowed by it. . . . #giftedproduct #amorepacific #trywithtopbox #white #whitewednesdays #shelfie #vanity #byrdiebeauty #monochrome #vibes #functionofbeauty #ouai #drroebucks #kristinesshair #tatcha #functionofbeauty #ouai #skincareobsessed #beautygram #skincare #skincarecommunity #skincarejunkie #skincarelover #skincarediary #gorillasecrets #skincareblogger #review #skincarereview #skincareaddict
