BEAUTY | Sephora Collection Outrageous Plump Lip Gloss x Tabasco

Purchased by me

How many of you are Hot Ones fans? If you haven't heard of the show, it's where host Sean Evans ask "hot questions with even hotter wings" and the hot sauces they use change every season with the exception of Da Bomb which is known to be just pure pepper extract and meant to annihilate. I love the show and while I am not normally a spice lover when it comes food, but I AM a spice lover with my lip products so can you imagine my delight when the Sephora Collection Plump Lip Gloss x Tabasco Collaboration popped up as a suggestion while I was browsing the Sephora app?!

NAILS | Hermes Iris Violetta #CBBxManiMonday

Purchased by me

It has been over a month since I last painted my nails as I waited patiently for them to grow back...and then break again. My index nail still isn't back to what it was before and I am eating really well and feeling good so who knows what is happening. Sometimes nails are just what they are no matter how much biotin or good food you ingest.

SHEET MASK | Anua x KPop Demon Hunters Eternal and Golden Honmoon Collagen Mask

Purchased by me

I was not immune to the hype of Kpop Demon Hunters both with the movie and the music! My husband and I watched the movie last year and as big Kpop fans in general, had all of our expectations fulfilled and more! I am still not sick of the song "Golden" and I love that EJAE has finally gotten all of the recognition she deserves! A Grammy AND Oscar?! How much better could it get?!

LIFESTYLE | Six on Saturday - Flowers, Watches, Dior and more Flowers!

I have not done one of these in awhile and because I missed Friday, it means I get to do Six on Saturday! What I like about these posts are that it jogs my memory about what the last two weeks have been like as well as teaches me to be appreciative of what has happened in my life because a lot of the time, life moves way too fast!

ONE: Whenever a client says they are thankful for the service I have provided them with, it always makes me smile, but when they add in a little something special like flowers, it's really extra special. These were hand-delivered to the store and I had no idea who would have sent me flowers because it's not like it happens every day and then of course, the pessimist in me thinks it's a stalker! Thankfully, that was not the case and I got to enjoy these beautiful orchids in my office for the next week as my cats would have eaten them had I brought them home!

MAKEUP | LYS Triple Fix Serum Skin Tint Foundation Stick

Purchased by me

Though I don't play around with makeup as much as I used to, foundation is the one thing I am always tempted by even though I feel like there is nothing I haven't tried at this point! I first started seeing LYS Beauty while we were in the midst of the pandemic and looking for more BIPOC brands. 

EMPTIES | April 2026 (Where Finishing a NARS Blush Took 6 Months!)

Coming at this a little bit later than I had wanted, but OMG has it been a busy last 3 weeks! There has just been a lot going on at work with my day job with events and helping with a new store opening so I have been trying to pack as much as I can into my work day and then coming home a total zombie. I have a few vacation days booked this week so I am hoping to recoup some energy and rest as the week AFTER is going to be really hectic again as I will be working out of a the new Chaumet at Oakridge for the week for their opening!

# Skincare = 6

Favourites from this pile were the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen which I had amazingly never tried before and the Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash which was one of the nicest foaming face washes I have ever used! The Tata Harper Regnerating Cleanser has been a favourite of mine since I worked for the brand in 2015 and I always repurchase it whenever there is a sale on the Tata Harper website since you get waaaay more GWPs there compared to Sephora.
