Jersey Shore Spa Anti Aging Lip & Hand Polish
This polish couldn’t have come at a better time! My hands have been suffering from the harsh, cold, winter weather, and these product has done a wonderful job at revitalizing my sad skin. The brown sugar crystals gently exfoliate your skin, while coconut oil moisturizes and leaves your hands feeling super soft. Bonus – it’s all natural, so if you use it on your lips, too, it tastes great (you can see me giving it a try in my video below)!

Chella Lip Pencil in Passionate Pink
Chella: hello, beautiful! This soft, reddish-pink colour glides on smoothly and leaves your lips looking perfectly kissable. This product lasted far longer than your average moisturizing lip colour, and the colour is the perfect shade for a daytime look.

Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment Powder in Sierra Nevada
This soft, pigmented powder is the perfect addition to finish off your eye shadow look. It can be used sparingly for just a hint of shimmer during the day, or amped-up for a glamourous evening look. I love adding it when I use my neutral brown and bronze shadows.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil
I was very weary of trying this product when I read the word ‘oil’ in the name. I hate (yes, I know that is a strong word) applying greasy or oily products to my face, so I applied this product with caution. But before I even had a chance to complain, it had completely absorbed into my skin, and my foundation glided on with ease. I am a newly converted believer in primer oils!

Luxie Flat Definer Brush
I am always thrilled to see a new makeup brush in my ipsy bag – a brush alone is usually worth the cost of the entire bag! This vegan, cruelty-free brush is super soft and is perfect for applying my gel eyeliner. And if you head over to their site and sign up for their email list, you will receive a coupon code for 20% your order. Score!

OSCAR STYLE: ACCESSORIZE IT!

February 29, 2016March 1, 20163 Comments

With all of the 2016 Oscars handed out, and another round of red carpet style wrapped up, it’s time to talk about our favourite looks. More specifically, the gorgeous accessories! After admiring the stars’ dresses, I love checking out their extravagant jewels (I’m an earrings and bold rings kinda gal). Your accessories are the perfect place to inject some personality to your ensemble, so I was thrilled to see the ladies rocking some very unique pieces and fun new ways to sparkle.

From Olivia Munn’s wrap-around bracelet, to Whoopi Goldberg’s octopus ring, and Brie Larson’s delicate jeweled hair clips, there was definitely a playful element to the accessories worn by these leading ladies. And I can’t forget to mention Charlize Theron’s eye-catching lariat bling that perfectly accented the deep v of her gorgeous, red dress. But, I think my favourite accessories of the night were Saoirse Ronan’s stunning, green dangling earrings. There’s something about rich, emerald jewelry that gets me every time!

MY STYLE: VALENTINE’S KISSES

February 14, 2016February 16, 2016Leave a comment

Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovely Peaches! Today’s post comes to you from my very warm and cozy living room. As much as I wanted to frolic in the snow and snap some shots in a wintery wonderland, it is bitter cold this weekend and my couch, a blanket, and a hot cup of tea have been calling my name. So I’ve changed things up from my usual outdoor shoots and have put together a comfy, around-the-apartment, weekend look that’s sure to please on this day of love.

I wanted to have some fun with this look, and the red lip motif on this shirt was the perfect place to start! From there, I added a bold, red beaded necklace and a flirty rose ring, and finished off the look with some playful pink and red lip socks. Even my manicure got some love with a simple red crystal heart accent on my ring finger (if there’s an excuse to add something red and glittery to my look, I’m all over it!).

Whatever your plans may be this Valentine’s Day, have fun with your look…and enjoy a chocolate or two for me!
