The Body Shop Vitamin E Serum


Hi guys! 

Today I wanted to share a review on a new (to me) skincare product that I have been LOVING, The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil. If you have dry, or dry-combination skin, this is a must. I tend to have normal to oily skin, but lately the winter has made my skin PARCHED. I apply the product with clean hands at night, either under a moisturizer or just on its own. I'll use about 5 drops all over my face and then go to bed (it is very oily, so it's not something that you want to be wearing during the day or out in public!) The results in the morning are fantastic! My skin just glows and feels so soft and plump! Anyone with dry skin needs to try this!


It comes in a sturdy glass bottle and has an eyedropper applicator.

This product retails for $28, and you can find it here!

Until next time,

Ipsy Glam Bag JANUARY 2015

Hi guys!

I wanted to share the products that I received in my Ipsy bag this month! This bag costs around $15 (I live in Canada), in which you receive 5 sample or full-sized products every month; plus a cute makeup bag! I am a huge fan of Ipsy because it is an inexpensive way to try new products! I tend to love almost all of the products that I get in these bags, but not so much this month. I will have the total value of all of the products calculated at the bottom! Enjoy!

Problem Into The Blue Nail Lacquer: $6
I have yet to try this nail polish.. it just doesn't interest me. I have so many nail polishes and this one just doesn't stand out. Maybe it will be a nice summer colour. I do like that is is a full-sized product.
Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner in Jet

Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner in Jet: $2.95

I absolutely HATE this liner. It has a pretty stiff brush, so it's relatively easy to use, but it smudges everywhere! As you can see from the swatches, it transfers and spreads out into all of the lines on my hands.. I also tried this product on my eyes and it did the exact same thing. I understand that it is a liquid liner, but it is almost too liquid-y. The colour is also not black enough for my liking, and it is hard to get a nice, thin line. I'll be throwing this product out. 

Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush: $9.99
This is definitely the best product in this month's bag. The Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush is so soft and applies shadow beautifully all over the lid. Plus, it's a gorgeous pink colour.

Malin+Goetz Mojito Lip Balm: $12.00
I was really excited to try something from this brand; I have heard such good things about it. This product did not disappoint. Its a thicker, stickier balm that I like to put on at night and has a yummy subtle lime taste. It leaves my lips super soft and hydrated. I would recommend this for sure!
Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow in Ethereal : ~$3.50
Pacifica Eye Shadow in Ethereal 

Pacifica Eyeshadow in Ethereal
Finally, a Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow. I really wanted to like this product, because I love the brand, but this shadow just doesn't do it for me. It is okay as a highlight colour under the brow bone, but it is just not as pigmented as I would have liked. I wish I had gotten the darker colour that Ipsy sent out, as I would like to compare the two. The packaging on this shadow is soon cheap and flimsy, so for those reasons, I wouldn't recommend this.


Total Value: ~$34.44! You can find Ipsy here!

Until next time,
