Nudestix: Go nude, but better SWATCHES

I feel like 2015 is going to be about natural looks. 

The point is to look polished but never over done. 

If that's you.. then should check out Nudestix.  

Their slogan is "Go nude, but better".

They come packaged up in a sleek black tin along which has a large mirror and a pencil sharpener.

The line is actually the brain child of Jenny Frankel who is a chemical engineer with over 20 years of beauty experience.  Her muses are her daughters Ally & Taylor. I had the opportunity to try out some products from the line. Immediately, I fell in love with Nudestix concealer pencil ($28.00 Cdn). The consistency is amazing. I had NO idea if the colour would match me but it ended up being perfect! I'm a deep 8. That is the darkest colour in the line. The colour is not muddy or red, it's the perfect matte chocolate brown. I should also add the pencil is very soft so it glides instead of drags.

I also tried out a lip/cheek pencil ($28.00 Cdn) in Ripe (not sure if it has the right colour for me but I loved the consistency as well).  I want to try sin. Also I tried one of the magnetic eye colours ($28.00 Cdn) in Angel. If not used over the lid, this would make a great inner eye colour.

TIP: 

"If you have an oily lid like me, you’ll love the way the magnetic eye color never creases, fades or smudges."- Ally

Nudestix is sold at Sephora.

Stocking Stuffers: Flower Beauty Rollerball Eau de Toilette

I struggle with finding stocking stuffers to add to Christmas stockings. 

Chocolate and Candy canes are a must but how about something that smells good? 

I was recently introduced to Flower Beauty and fell in love with their Rollerballs. 

For under $10.00 ($9.97 CAN) you can fall in love with three unique scents.

From Left to Right:
Feeling delicate and soft?
Try Cherished!
A comforting and nuzzly powdery floral.

Feeling romantic and daring?

Try Sultry!

A sensual oriental floral that wraps you in a seductive trail of creamy florals, alluring spices and sultry vanilla woods.

Feeling strong and happy?
Try Radiant!
A striking and confident sparkling floral blooming with dewy greens and lush freshness.

If I had to pick a fave I'd pick Sultry.  It smells fun but has a sexy playful side.

Birchbox Monthly Subscription box is Available in Canada!

Beauty boxes are making a comeback! 

Just in time for the holidays.
One of the original beauty box makers is coming  to Canada.

Believe it or not I did not know the FULL hype of Birchbox (originated in 2010) until I went on vacation. I had my Birchbox beach bag and a lady came up to me and asked me if I worked for them. After I said no, she begin to rave about the box. She told me that she had a friend in New York who would order a box for her and send it to her in Canada. She nearly did a cart wheel on the beach when I told her the boxes can now be ordered from Canada.

Let me give you the low down on Birchbox: it's a platform that helps you find the best in beauty and lifestyle products. There is a online shop component and also the option of getting a monthly subscription. 

If you choose to subscription option, each month you will get five beauty samples shipped right to your door. The products can range from skincare, perfume or maybe even nail polish. If you find something that you truly love in the box.... Guess what? You can get the full-size version of the sample you got in their online shop.

I should also add that every box comes with a card which details the price of the full-size sample and also gives you a description on what the product is and also how to use it.

Canadians if you're interested in trying out Birchbox you can go to birchbox.ca to try out your first box.
