SHEET MASK | Benton Fermentation Mask Pack

Purchased by me

It has taken me far too long to try this cult classic of a sheet mask from Benton and I think it's because it is so understated in terms of packaging and letting people know just how good it is. No fanfare needed, just good old fashion ingredients and a mask material that does the job!  

SHEET MASK | The Creme Shop x Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Pure Destiny and Guardian Charm Masks

Purchased by me

I was strolling through Miniso a few weeks ago on my lunch break and saw that they started carrying a few Creme Shop sheet masks. While I have ordered directly from Creme Shop before, it was in USD and with the exchange now and the last couple of years really, it hasn't been fun to order from so when I see them locally, I go for it! When I saw these Sailor Moon masks, I did not hesitate as my childhood rushed back to me!

MAKEUP | Dioriviera Summer 2025 Collection

Purchased by me

Now, that we are more than halfway through summer, I realized that I should really get on sharing with you all the items I picked up from the Dior Riviera Summer 2025 Collection! Now, that I do not receive Dior press samples, I am extremely selective about what I buy from each Dior collection and rightly so! The collection was much larger than the items I picked up, but truthfully I didn't want more lip oils so I stuck to, what I think, are the prettiest pieces in the collection.

NAILS | Just Purple #CBBxManiMonday

Press sample

My nails are still itty bitty compared to what the normally are after a 4 week nail polish hiatus, but they definitely are looking better than before! I don't know what it was, but they were SO dry that even my good photo hand was breaking and splitting. My right hand is still nubbin-like, but we will get there because I want to have long nails for Halloween nail art! 

SHEET MASK | Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Mask Pack

 

Purchased by me

You know, it's not like I've had a lot going on my life this month so I don't know why I have only posted here twice! I generally prefer to write on my days off and looking back, I have been out every single one of my days off so I just haven't had the time, but summer is about enjoying the outside weather especially in Vancouver when the rain starts in the Fall and just does not stop! I have an extra day off this week so we shall see if I can find a way to catch up, but I won't beat myself up if it doesn't work out.

SHEET MASK | Petitfee Artichoke Soothing Hydrogel Face Mask

 

Gifted with Bellbees order

I did not intend to take a week long break from writing, but here we are! Even though it was a relatively chill week, my boss was away on vacation so I suppose I was tired from being "the only senior manager"? It was also the first summer without that horrid beast of an employee and usually when my boss would go away, the shenanigans would begin on Day 1 and every day she would either piss off myself or someone else and it would ultimately mean me being involved anyway because she was so careless and would bait management for a reaction. She would take people's sales, complain incessantly about the temperature, the homeless people on the street outside, it just never ended! To not have that for the first time in years has been SO REFRESHING! Finally, we can carry on business as usual without such time-wasting garbage. As you can see, I'm still very angry about all of this considering HR and the higher ups could have taken care of this years ago, but it's all still relatively new and I know that over time she will become a distant memory.

HAIR | BKIND Moisture and Nourish Hair Mask #CanadianSummer

 

Press sample

I was trying to feature mainly Canadian brands last month as it was Canada Day on July 1st, but I didn't have time to feature all the brands I wanted to so I am turning this into #CanadianSummer to keep the love going! Today we are featuring once more Quebec-based BKIND (see my previous BKIND review here) and their Moisture and Nourish Hair Mask!
