SHEET MASK | Kocostar Waffle Mask in Ice Cream, Honey and Strawberry

Purchased by me

It is the long weekend and while I worked yesterday and will work the holiday Monday, it still feels like I get to benefit from this extra long weekend as well as Monday is a short day, late start and overall more chill than regular days. I also start working 4 days/week this month in order to use up some vacation days and have a better work/life balance. If only I could continue that schedule, but in the world of retail that just isn't realistic!

NAILS | OPI Feelin' Capricorny Swatch #MidWeekMani

Press sample

My week of stress is almost over! Actually, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be even though it did have its share of client issues (of course, never my fault). For some reason, I was just in this headspace of truly believing that I could make everything better and that "nothing was beyond my abilities". It was a great feeling and I hope happens to me more often than not!

HAIR | Marc Anthony Hydra Lock Collection

Press samples

I am always chasing moisture when it comes to my hair as it has always been so dry and coarse even before I started colouring it, but there has always been a fine line between hydration and losing what precious volume at the roots I have. This area is where the Marc Anthony Hydra Lock Collection took some figuring out for me because I felt like I just couldn't have it all. 

NAILS | Inspired by My June Ipsy Glam Bag #CBBxManiMonday

Press samples

I just got back home from a lovely facial with Dior at Holt Renfrew and I feel SO relaxed that I want to have a nap, but as I work the next five days in a row without my other manager, something tells me that I am going to feel like total crap by the time this week is over. Well, at least I will have pretty nails because I am really happy with how these "inspired by my Ipsy bag" nails turned out!

SHEET MASK | When Beauty Vegan "Simply When" Collection

Purchased by me

Recently, I was doing a little bit of shopping while waiting for a prescription at London Drugs and came across this collection of vegan When Beauty sheet masks. When Beauty makes a number of different sheet masks and this collection in particular is all Vegan Certified by the Korea Agency of Vegan Certification and Services Inc. I picked up all five masks in this collection and because the masks differed only very slightly from each other, I will just do some quick little summaries of the masks for you!  

BEAUTY | June 2024 Ipsy Glam Bag

 

Purchased by me

June's Ipsy Glam Bag came slightly delayed as according to tracking it was just hanging out in New Jersey for a few weeks before finally showing up at my door. There is another person in my building who also receives a monthly Glam Bag so I kind of use her deliveries as a guide for mine and when hers showed up 2 weeks before mine I got concerned. Ipsy customer service was quite reassuring and to use their exact wording "We got you!" when I expressed concern about my Glam Bag going missing!
