Beauty Sleep Club

I'm aging (shh 46). So my bedtime routine seems to be getting longer and longer. I work at finding products that make it more efficient, but also doing what I need to keep my skin, hair and everything else looking fresh, younger (if I can help it) an...

I like a clenser that foams, is gentle and not over priced. This face wash is all of those things. I have sensitve skin, so I don't want anything too sented or harsh. I've been using this for about 2 years now and would never buy anything else.

Thayers Milky Hydrating Face Cleanser 8oz

Hyaluronic Acid - this is what we need to hydrate our skin. And this has that and more. Its also not scented and very kind to the skin. I love this and will always keep buying it as part of my routine

Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Serum

Retinol - we need this as well as we age. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles and this stuff feels like it actually works. There a lot of products out there with retinol, but a lot are over priced. This is a great price point and has all you need. ...

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum

I LOVE this product. Although it is a little more on the pricey side then a lot of the products I buy. I feel like it's worth it. It feels so good on the skin. I really do notice a difference.

Naturally-derived skincare with clinical results

I absolutely love this facial oil mist! I originally bought it as part of a set, and it quickly became my favourite, so now I buy it on its own. It's a little more expensive than what I normally spend on skincare, but it's one product I happily splur...

ICD Two Phase Oil Mist

Everyday Face

I like to keep things simple but also use quality products. But I also don't like to spend unnecessary money on a product that I can get for less and that are just as good. So this list is those products. I use all of these every day!

I love adding a few drops of this milky toner to my foundation before applying it. It gives my makeup a lighter, more natural feel with a beautiful hydrated glow, while still keeping the coverage I want. If you don't love the look or feel of heavy fo...

Hydrating Milky Toner

If you hate the feel of heavy sunscreen under your makeup, you need to try this. It's lightweight, wears beautifully under makeup, and even works as a primer. It makes getting your daily SPF so much easier!

e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Invisible SPF 35 Gel

This is one of those products I keep repurchasing. It isn't fancy, but it gets the job done. I have my eyebrows microbladed, but as they fade between appointments, I use this pencil to fill them in and extend the time between touch-ups. The fine tip ...

L’Oréal Paris Cosmetics Brow Stylist Definer, Ultra-Fine Tip Eyebrow Pencil, 0.5mm Tip for Well-Defined Brows and Easy Blend With No Gaps, Brunette ,90 mg - Walmart.ca

I've been using this bronzer for years—and not just as a bronzer! I often use it as a base eyeshadow too. It gives me such a natural, sun-kissed glow that I constantly get compliments on my "tan." It's one of those products I'll never be without.

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer Mini 0.08 Ounce

I don’t love wearing foundation, but I also can’t go without a little coverage. This BB cream is the perfect in-between. It’s lightweight, never feels thick or heavy, and contains hyaluronic acid and aloe for a boost of hydration. It comes in a few d...

Garnier Skin Naturals Hyaluronic Aloe BB Light

I've been using this eyeshadow for years and always come back to it. It goes on smoothly, blends easily, and lasts all day. There are so many great shades that you really can't go wrong. I often mix a few together, using one as a base and another to ...

Single Eyeshadows - Swatches

Nailed it!

These work. Period. They're quick to apply, stay put, and usually last me about 2 weeks. The secret is taking a few extra minutes to prep your nails properly before applying them. One tip: don't rip them off! Like any press-on nail, that can damage y...

Glamnetic Fall Mauve Press On Nails - 30 Kit

This is my go-to glue for press-on nails. It's much easier to apply than the small tubes that come with most nail sets and gives much better coverage across the entire nail. A little goes a long way, and it helps my press-ons stay put for days. I nev...

Glamnetic Super Strong Brush On Nail Glue

Body & Bronze

I've tried a lot of self-tanners over the years, and this is by far my favourite. It goes on evenly without streaking, gives me a natural-looking tan, and helps even out my skin tone. Best of all, there's no orange tint—I promise! I use the Dark shad...

2 HR Express Self-Tanning Mousse Ultra Dark - Loving Tan

If you're nervous about self-tanning your face like I was, start with this one. The Medium shade gives a beautiful, natural-looking glow that's never orange or streaky. I love how it evens out my complexion and gives me that "just got back from vacat...
