NAILS | Going neon with Essie Throw in the Towel #CBBxManiMonday

Press sample

I have been so exhausted the last few days as I have not been sleeping well with the heat wave so my husband and I decided to have a solid sleep-in until 9am yesterday. I think everyone must have been tired because even the cats didn't even wake me up for food until then! I also start vacation this Wednesday on July 1st for one week because it's ma birthdayyyyy and I cannot wait to both have some time off at home and celebrate! I have three days booked with husband and friends and then I want to spend the rest of my time cleaning the apartment, which has been sorely neglected for the last month and a half while I have been busy with working in two locations during the week.

SHEET MASK | Garnier Cryo Jelly Anti-Fatigue Sheet Mask Review

Purchased by me

It's summer now so when I see a mask with snowflakes on the packaging and a "-7 degrees" in the description, I am IMMEDIATELY interested! Garnier caught my attention yet again with their Cryo Jelly cooling effect sheet mask and I just had to know "how cooling was it?"

MAKEUP | L'Oreal BlurFiller Lip Contour Lip Liner

Press samples

I know that lip liners are back in a BIG way and I have tried a few times to get onboard, but this is one product that I cannot get to work for me. I feel like no matter how much I blend, I always end up with a ring around my lips after a few hours. I have worn lip liners as lipsticks with a bit of gloss on top and of course, once the gloss wears off, I am left with my lip ring once again so when it comes to lip liners, I actually have only two that I have legitimately purchased on my own. I probably have 10 from PR that are in nude shades that I am convinced I will "need at some point", but I think I should just declutter them the next time I do a purge. 

NAILS | Pixyls Rainbow Nail Art #CBBxManiMonday

It was another beautiful weekend in Vancouver at 20 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze from the water. If everyday in summer were this, I would be in heaven! When it starts creeping closer to 30 degrees, that's where you lose me! My husband and I decided to spend our Sunday afternoon at Uniqlo as we had a number of summer basics we wanted to stock up on. I have gained 10lbs since last summer so none of my work summer clothes fit anymore and I was tired of feeling "stuffed" into everything especially as the weather gets hotter!

SHEET MASK | Garnier Pro-Retinol Smoothing Serum Mask

Purchased by me

I have been doing a few split shifts at Chaumet at Oakridge Park for the last month and I think I underestimated how tired I would be training at one location and then trying to get everything I want to get done at my home store as I basically work 3 days/week at my own store. While I feel like that would be enough time for most managers, with people taking vacation, wanting to merchandise and organize stock and having a larger client base than before that I like to manage "the type A Jayne way", it has left me working more than 40 hours to week to keep up. Amazingly, I have managed to keep up with sheet masking every day so at least one small aspect of my life feels put together!

NAILS | Dioriviera Summer 2026 #CBBxManiMonday

Purchased by me

Oh my goodness, I am so late with posting ANY nails! ManiMondays used to be the one thing I felt I could make time for because I always had my nail painted, but then my nails started breaking big time a few months ago and the inspiration for nail art has been lacking as well. I feel like I have sort of done everything, but at the same time there is nothing wrong with old favourites, right? Everyone loves a bit of nostalgia?
