Pretty In Bronze

Hello!




As you can see, the style I chose is longer on the outer corners than the inner corner. I really like this style of lash because it opens my eyes up on the outer edge, where I feel like my eyes look like they droop down.

The packaging is stunning, and has a magnetic closure, so you won't easily lose your lashes. The Lash Companion is also beautiful! The tube looks so fancy and so high-end that I was surprised that the price was so low. I was honestly expecting at least $20.00 USD.

The lashes are amazing! They have a cotton band, which makes it really thin and lightweight, which is perfect for beginners. The glue is also great for beginners since it dries down clear instead of black, so if you accidentally touch your eyelid with it, it won't look obvious.


See you soon!

Hello!

Hello!


I swatched every single shade without any primer or glitter glue or makeup spray (just my finger and the eyeshadows as is).




See you soon!

Hello again!


This Divine Essence essential oil is awesome! It smells a lot like the Vick's rub we all grew up with (at least it does to my coworkers and I) and I love to put it in the diffuser at work when I'm feeling stuffy. This stuff seriously relaxes me. I've strongly hinted at wanting a diffuser / told Steven several times that I wanted one so I'm hoping I'll have one for my apartment after Christmas and I can enjoy this at home as well!


These products are specifically for men, so Steven tried these out and even wrote notes down on what he thought! I thought it'd be more authentic if I just paste his notes below (and funny for me) so here are his thoughts in point form:

• Aroma is good, not too strong but not lacking scent. 

• Definitely smells of peppermint oil (which is advertised, and if that's your thing than great. I'm on the fence about it.

• Used a dollab the size of a quarter and about 3/4 of a cm high which is ~50% more than my usually shampoo to get the same lather. 

• "Cool" feeling begins after 2 minutes on scalp and stays after rinse. 

• Didn't strip hair of all oils which is nice for short outings

• Smells of a clay mask and something else I can't put my finger on but it's not bad at all.

• Had to use quite a bit to get a decent lather for a mans face. 

• Lubrication qualities are slightly below average for a shaving lotion.

• I can definitely see this being useful for large-flat surfaces like legs/arms rather than more denser areas. 

• No irritation

• Didn't leave my hands feeling oily (aka not having to spend 3 minutes washing my hands in the shower to get the oils off in fear of grabbing my razor, having it slip out of my hands and cut me) after lather.

I'm really enjoying this shampoo and Conditioner by Giovanni Cosmetics! This really makes my hair clean and keeps it feeling clean for longer. I'm surprised it doesn't wash out any colour because of how clean my hair gets, but it does tend to feel a bit more dry because of it. I now have this in my shampoo rotation where I have two other shampoos that I like to use every few weeks. Sometimes I mix one of my other shampoos with this depending on what I want my hair to feel like, but I can safely say that I prefer this shampoo if I want to spend less time straightening my hair.



Last, but not least, is this Surya Brasil nail polish. I've never seen a Vegan nail polish before (though I have seen cruelty free), but I really like this! The packaging is really nice, and the polish itself is pretty good. It isn't my favourite nail polish, but it's also not bad. This applies really nicely since it has a dense brush that is shaped perfectly (not those flimsy brushes with bristles randomly glued on). The polish with three coats reminds me of those 90's jelly sandals like I showed in my video, but that also means it isn't super opaque. Because this requires several layers to get to my desired opacity, it ends up being pretty thick and peels off easier. Overall the polish is pretty nice. If you are or know anyone that is Vegan, I recommend! Especially around the holiday season as a gift (or a gift in general for anything) because it can be hard finding products like these that are Vegan. I also like the name because I'm Brazilian, but that has nothing to do with the product.

That is it! Hopefully this review has been helpful! With the holiday season starting soon it's always a good idea to read up on reviews as much as you can! Especially if you're trying to figure out what to buy your Vegan friends or family! If you want to find all of these products, just head onto Well.ca and you will find it all!

See you soon!

I had already tried the porefessional and didn't really care for it. It helps smooth my skin out a bit, but not enough to make it worth using, and especially not purchasing. I have pretty normal skin with a few dry patches, and a normal to oily forehead. I think this might work if you have super dry skin, but it makes my forehead look too greasy.

The They're Real mascara is one of my all time favourites! If you want to buy a high end mascara for the first time, I recommend this! I've had a few mini's before and still love this just as much as I once did. The brush is amazing on this!


This was the first time I tried the Hoola bronzer and I'm impressed! It's crazy pigmented so you do have to be careful if you're really light skinned. I'm light/medium and still managed to pile on too much when filming my video using these products (it will be at the end of this blog post). I don't know if I'd repurchase just because I have a holy grail bronzer from the drugstore, but once again, if you're looking to buy high end you can't go wrong with this!


This is now my favourite eyebrow pomade product. Will I purchase? Probably one day, but not in the near future. It's a bit too expensive for me so I'll stick with drugstore, but I will say that I prefer this over my ABH Dip Brow Pomade because it's creamier and easier to use.

I will insert a bunch of pictures where I'm wearing all of the products. In the first photo my eyebrows hadn't been done in over 6 months, but in the rest they were recently plucked so you can see how amazing the ka-Brow works!



Here's the YouTube video where I use all of the products!
