A recent try of mine as someone who doesn't usually use hand moisturizer and is looking for some new ones! This hand cream is a very moisturizing thick but lightweight cream, non-greasy, smells AMAZING! I have the Lemon and Cream scent on my desk at ...

Gentle on sensitive skin, useful for a quick on-the-go or lazy night face wash, wipes away makeup easily and leaves your face feeling refreshed, clean, but not dry! I specifically use the Green: Hyluronic Acid + Aloe All-in-1 Replump!
Garnier: Micellar

If you're looking for an easy to blend and subtle bronzer for your look, shes the one! I personally dab a little bit on my hand and use my contour brush to pat onto my face, a little goes a long way so it lasts a long time despite the bottle being sm...

Another favourite lightweight product of mine! Easy to blend (I use the Makeup By Mario Duo Brush), I dont personally have dark under eyes but often use this for my whole face, not JUST my under eyes. It gives a simple, no-makeup-makeup-look! Leave i...

I have used this compact powder for probably a good 10 years now, it has always been a staple in my makeup bag! It easily brightens under eyes with minimal creasing and leaves a soft matte look to your makeup! For a girl with oily skin, this also wor...

I have had this blush since Christmas 2024 and it has lasted this long (its now 2026, as I write this), another small but long lasting product! Similar to application of my bronzer, I dab a bit on my hand and blend it out with a brush. Its easy to bl...

I grab this when my lips are extra dry from the cold brittle Canadian winters - I get cracked lips on the sides of my mouth because our air is dry inside the house (even if I drink gallons of water!!), but I also just love wearing this overnight for ...

Vaseline has always been a grab and go staple for me. I throw this in my purse or keep it on my office desk, my husband loves these sticks as well. I wouldn't say the Rosy Lips specifically adds any colour though, but it does give a nice moisturized ...
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Rosy Lips Stick

Products Im Currently Testing Out

While I often dont stray too far from my every day routine, sometimes it is nice to switch things up - what can I say, I'm just a girl who likes the best bang for my buck.

Update: the longer I have used this product, the less I like it … it does seem to strip down the oil on my face quite aggressively and has dried out my skin over time. Pregnancy can change how your skin reacts to certain products so I am hoping to tr... 

I've recently gotten this in an advent calendar and was pleasantly surprised! I wouldn't say that I use this on a daily but more if I feel like I need a gentle deep cleanse on my face (maybe once or twice a week). While a bit on the pricier side, I'v...

I JUST started using this, I'll be completely honest with you, I do already have quite full brows but they are SISTERS not twins so I do need a little filling in. I find some pencils can be a tad too heavy, I like something a little lighter so that i...
