Maritime Naturals Vitamin C Serum
Who is ready for the weekend? I must say, I'm very much ready for a day or two away from blog-land. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but sometimes a day without scheduling, emails, photo sessions, editing, swatching, emails, emails (did I mention emails?) is kind of nice. Also in the kind of nice category, is a serum I've been using for the past few weeks. You know I love serum, and I know a lot of you love serum, so let's take a moment to discuss the niceness that is Maritime Naturals Vitamin C Serum.

Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit | Medium/Dark

::: press sample / affiliate links :::
Everybody's crazy for contouring... Well, not everybody, I'm not much for the whole thing, although, I do enjoy highlight (or strobing as it's been dubbed.) I see the appeal though; a more chiseled look, more prominent contours, but it's an extra step that I can't see myself adding to my everyday makeup routine. That said, there are some great contour kits/palettes available that include everything you should you want to get a a Kim K sculpt (or something a little bit more natural.) Smashbox is one of such brands, who offers up such a kit: Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit. They've recently introduced a second shade to their roster for medium and deep skin tones. I'm nowhere near the right skin tone to use it as a contour kit, but I thought I'd show it off for those who are as it's too good to pass up. Ready for a closer look?

Yves Rocher White Botanical Exceptional Hydrating Cream

::: press sample :::
Last month I got an email from the very lovely Yves Rocher PR people detailing some new (and really innovative) products (stay tuned!) I submitted my request for a few items, but opted to skip one, as I'm kind of up to my eyeballs in skin care at the moment. That one product I was so willing to overlook? A new addition to the White Botanical range, Yves Rocher White Botanical Exceptional Hydrating Cream. I am so happy it was included anyway, because it just happens to be my new favourite moisturizer. Clearly their PR knows what's up with Yves Rocher products. Want to know more? You know what to do...

Waterlogic Hybrid Water Purifier

::: press sample / affiliate links :::
Pop quiz: what's a quick and easy way to improve your skin and overall well being? Do you have your answer? It's water! Plain old, life sustaining, water. I think most beauty buffs know increasing your water intake can really make a difference to skin and life in general. It's an essential part of life, and when done right, is a pleasant beverage. I say done right because not all water is created equally. I grew up drinking artesian well water, which is of pretty stellar quality, with a fresh, clean taste. It made me a very fussy water drinker when I lived away and was left with odd tasting 'city water'. To me, it always tasted like it should have been in a pool and not my glass. There are tons of options to deal with such situations, but one I wish I'd had is the Waterlogic Hybrid Water Purifier. It's a pretty neat gadget that makes clean, tasty water as simple as the push of a button.

Avon Metallic Fringe Top Coat

::: press sample :::
I love shimmers, glitters, textures, mattes, jellies, cremes... Almost every polish finish is welcome on my nails, except... Crackles. I think they've died off though (crosses fingers.) Oh, and bar glitter. I don't hate it, I've just never been able to get all that exited about it. Bar glitter (or hairy glitter as I like to call it) is the main component of the new Avon Metallic Fringe top Coat collection. While bar glitter isn't my first choice, I kind of like some of these colour combos. Read on for a closer look!

Ayelet Naturals

How is everyone beating the heat? I don't know where you all call home, but in my little habitat, it's hella hot. Like, kill me now kind of hot. I'm not a fan of the heat, so that last statement might be just a tad dramatic. If you can take your mind off the heat for a moment, we can chat about a skin care brand that I've recently discovered. Deal? Ayelet Naturals happens to be the brand, which features a complete line of skin and body care products made with organically grown, wildcrafted, food-grade ingredients. Interested? Read on!

Two OPI posts in one week? Could it be? It can, and is. Mainly because I haven't taken any more pictures this week (blogger fail) but also because nail polish. I know not everyone love it as much as I do, but, nail polish. OPI is back in collaboration with Coca-Cola to bring us the Icons of Happiness Collection. The collection consists of most of the shades from the last Coke collab (all but Today I Accomplished Zero and Orange You Fantastic! are back) but with two new additions. The new shades- Visions of Georgia Green and Centennial Celebration- are available in a cute little set to celebrate the 100th Anniversary og the classic Coca-Cola bottle. Read on for a look at the Coca-Cola x OPI Two to Celebrate Duo (and swatches, obviously!)

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum

I like skincare, and usually find enjoyment in my morning/evening routine, but every so often I get complacent (and a touch lazy) and end up backsliding. Don't judge me, we've all been there. I was in one of those funks when the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum came into my life, and subsequently whipped my skin back into shape. Actually, its even better then before. Interested in this gem of a product? Read on!
