Cerave Vitamin C Serum Review

Having a little @cerave_canada moment with my cleanser and the new Cerave vitamin C. Check it out: 10% vitamin C in a blend that includes Hyaluronic acid and ceramides so it’s a bit hydrating and moisturizing at the same time. It also means I can skin my regular Hyaluronic acid serum in the morning and just use this instead. *PR

Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer

My skin knows when warm weather is here because it really starts to need less moisturizer – so I’m switching to gel, and I know lots of you all like a gel moisturizer too. My skin knows when warm weather is here because it really starts to need less moisturizer - so I'm switching to gel, and I know lots of you all like a gel moisturizer too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This @boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer has light but hydrating and great for layering. Again, gel moisturizers have come a long way since I started using them - they used to be tacky and sticky, and this is not like that. It absorbs and leaves skin looking hydrated. Dry skin will probably need something heavier, but this is nice for oily skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀$50 @shoppersbeauty! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀*PR⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lise Watier Lift and Firm Night Cream

Isn’t it crazy that all these moisturizers come with their own applicators now? I usually still use my fingers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is Lise WatierLift and Firm Night Cream and one of my favourite moisturizers of ALL TIME. I first tried it in the fall when it first came out and it makes my skin so glowy. Try the day cream too, it is a bit lighter, but has some of the same ingredients including Bakuchiol.

Cocokind cleanser

Using this Cocokind cleanser to take makeup off these days and it smells divine – fresh and herbal! This is a thick oil that melts when you massage it onto your face and then emulsifies with water to wash away.

Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel Perfume Review

This is for when you want a fresh fragrance – Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel from 1975 although I’m sure it’s been reformulated since then. I found this on the discount wall @shoppersbeauty and it’s an amazing find. This is for when you want a fresh fragrance - Geoffrey Beane Grey Flannel from 1975 although I’m sure it’s been reformulated since then. I found this on the discount wall @shoppersbeauty and it’s an amazing find. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀On me, I get green violet leaf, galbanum, and a dry oaky finish that reminds me of a warm forest. It’s an outdoorsy kind of vibe which actually works when you’re inside. Sillage is almost nothing, and wear is maybe 4-6 hours but you could spray more and see how that works for you. I like to do one spray and see where the day takes me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This is traditionally a men’s scent but I really think it’s one that anyone could make their own. It has an old-world vibe that’s so pleasing.

Byredo Fragrance House Overview Video

I normally don’t review a whole fragrance house, but someone asked for my thoughts on Byredo, and I have 2 scents and many samples lying around so I thought I’d review it all.  Like every collection out there, there are some duds, some surprises, but overall everything is easy to wear.  I would say I’m blown away by what I have, but I did just order more perfume from them, so I clearly believe that my money is worth spending on this line.

Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Video Review

This is one of my favourite scents of all time and a gateway into the niche perfume category.  I bought it 15 years ago and still love it.  It’s easy to wear but so unique.

La Maison Clayton Shagal Skincare

Trying out some La Maison Clayton Shagal products and I’m obsessed with their Collagen Gel moisturizer ($67). Unlike most gels that I’ve tried, this one absorbs into your skin instead of drying sticky and just sitting on top of it. I use it on top of serums and under my sunscreen during the day. It’s the perfect warm-weather moisturizer.

I also really like this Cucumber and Avocado mask ($49) which is thick and moisturizing and sometimes I just use it as hand cream. It smells so fresh and it has almond oil and avocado oil as the main ingredients.  Love that.

Have you tried out this line?
