Foolproof Blending with Demeter Fragrance Duos & Trios
::: press sample :::You know I love a bit of Demeter right? I've been a fan of the brand since I was a teen and I can't see my love for them fading any time soon. Especially not when there are so many different scents to try, and so many ways to blend them. The beauty of Demeter's singular scents is that you can mix and match and blend away. You can literally create an endless number of custom scent creations. The the idea of choosing from their massive catalog seems daunting, never fear; Demeter Foolproof Blending Kits are a great way to get started. I've been blending with the Clean Skin and Sunshine Duo and the Vanilla Base Note Trio. Clearly, I smell amazing, but read on for my thoughts.

I'm sure a lot of you reading this do to. While I product hop a lot when it comes to my hair routine, my staples come from the Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Hair Therapy range. Read on to find out why.

Skincare Saviours
::: press sample / I bought it / affiliate links :::I'd like to think I'm pretty good at coming up with a post theme, but sometimes the inspiration just isn't there. Fellow bloggers feel me. That is one of the many reasons I love being a Canadian Beauty Blog Member. There is a monthly theme, upon which members get a chance to vote on ahead of time. I'll admit that I don't always get a post up for the theme of the month, but this month's theme was too good to pass up. That theme? Skincare Saviours. It was tough deciding what would make this post, but I think I've curated a good sampling of my skincare favourites. Read on for my selections!

A few brands have options available, but today it's all about the Pur Air Perfection CC Cushion Foundation. Want to know more? Sure you do! You know what to do...

::: press sample / affiliate links :::There is always something 'trendy' in the beauty world, with most rends having a short lifespan, but one that doesn't seem to be going anywhere is coconut oil.

A Better You Inside & Out with Perfection Deception & Flora•py
::: press sample / affiliate links :::It's new year (you knew that...) which means a lot of people declaring 'new year, new me' and new resolutions to loose a few pounds, hit the gym, etc. All good ideas, but there's something else to think about- the inner you.

::: press sample :::A very late start to my blogging day, but I do have two pretty great skincare bits that kind of make up for the fact that I've made you wait. Kind of?

The Secret to Thigh High Boots
(image credit: closetfullofclothes.com)Affiliate Editorial
Article written by Danielle Whitman
As the fashion editor of Huffington Post describes, thigh-high boots are essential to fall and winter wear as “they keep your legs toasty and make any outfit look more pulled together.” Yet, there’s something about the length of the boot that still has some women feeling hesitant about purchasing this seasonal staple.
Boots come in all shapes and sizes, whether you’re eying ankle, mid-calf, knee or higher boots as explained by Lyst, and unfortunately, some styles tend to get more love than others. Booties and equestrian riders are often deemed more versatile in terms of outfit choices compared to the likes of the thigh highs, which can look anything but classy when worn with the wrong ensemble.

Spooky Eyes Coloured Contacts | Natural Green Floral
::: press sample :::
As they say, 'New Year, New You'... I honestly haven't made many plans to be a new me, but I have done a bit of upgrading (f you will.) I've always wanted to try coloured contacts, but as a non-contact user, I was kind of terrified of the whole process. I decided to buck up and face my 'eye poking, one slip and you've blinded yourself' fears when I was offered the opportunity. Spooky Eyes, while known for their array of Halloween and specialty crazy lenses also carry a wide range of coloured contacts. I've been wearing a very pretty green set and am majorly in love with the effect. Read on for a closer look!

Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipsticks
::: press sample / affiliate links :::The first day back to 'real life' and I'm all over the place. I had big plans to start off super organized, but didn't quite get as much done as I'd hoped. Isn't that always the way? I did get some time to test out the new Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipsticks though. With the matte lip look still holding strong, it was only a matter of time before drugstore brands jumped in with their own options. I, like most everyone else have been patiently waiting for these to launch, but are they worth the space in your makeup bag? Read on for my thoughts.
