BEAUTY | Shu Uemura Crafted in Japan Collection #LunarFebruary

Better late than never, right? Released about six months ago, the limited edition Shu Uemura Crafted in Japan collection is made in Japan and is inspired by the beautiful art of origami. While the actual pieces in the collection are not limited, this design was, but rest assured that you haven't missed out on the products if you are interested! This compact collection consists of: Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil, Petal 55 Foundation Brush and the Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil.

NAILS | Pink Gradient Polka Dots ft. OPI Nature Strong #CBBxManiMonday

February is classically one of my favourite nail art months because even though I think Valentine's Day is kind of "blergh" in terms of consumerism, I do really love hearts, pink and all of the decorations and designs that accompany this "holiday"! I just received a package with OPI's newest line of vegan polishes and my my are they ever gorgeous! Coming in 30 shades, even just having the core collection will have you covered for all of your manicure needs for years to come! I found myself some Valentine's Day appropriate colours and though this isn't a complicated manicure, it sure is cute!

SHEET MASK | Banobagi Vita Genic Jelly Masks #LunarFebruary

When I initially took photos of the Banobagi Vita Genic Jelly Masks, I thought this was going to be an EPIC review as there were so many different masks all addressing varying skin concerns. As you scroll down, turns out it won't be that epic after all!

LIFESTYLE | Five on Friday - Feb.4 - Facial, Ozark, Neo Naturelle, Cheekbone Beauty Haul and Greek Salad Obsession!

I feel like a billion years have passed since I did the activities listed in this week's edition of Five on Friday so I guess it has just been one of those weeks! It was a productive week in terms of blogging and putting out some content which, even if there isn't a lot of reach, I still love knowing that I have my own personal "library" of beauty content!

I have been going to Rejuvenating Body Spa for the past seven years and love this little hole in the wall that you would walk right past on the street! Service is fantastic and the staff value quietness so there isn't a lot of chatter. I love supporting this local business so I try to treat myself to a facial or a massage with them every 1-2 months. This past week, I got a Hydrating Facial along with a Hot Stone Massage which was heaven! 

NAILS | It's the Year of the..Tigger?

I had so much fun drawing the tiger on my Lunar New Year nails for #CBBxManiMonday that I went hunting for more tiger nail art! I stumbled the CUTEST Tigger design from Dahlia Nails from a couple awhile back, but let's face it, Tigger and the whole Winnie the Pooh crew are always going to be awesome much like the Sesame Street family!

MAKEUP | Lunar New Year Collection with Quo Beauty

Happy Lunar New Year! Though my family has never been big on celebrating, I started getting a few food things over the last few years just to get in the mood. This year, I have not gone to T&T to pick up anything, but I did of course get a fun little LEGO set themed around the The Year of the Tiger and I made sure that I wore red to work yesterday (an all red jumpsuit) as well as some tiger earrings that Shoppers Beauty sent over that were actually pretty fun!
