Check out GlossyBox Canada!

My Glossybox Canada Ambassador Kit

Beauty boxes are taking over! The most recent box to enter Canada is GlossyBox. I remember drooling over the UK boxes and awaiting their arrival here.

GlossyBox is similar to other boxes:

• Stay up to date with current trends/discover new brands.
• Free delivery.
• Five exciting product samples each month.

It differs with:

• $15 a month price tag.

Overall, I noticed that this box is the highest priced out there (in Canada) but after looking at what you can get in the box I totally know why.

For example: Full-sized items such as WELLA Ocean Spritz in the June box retails for $16.99 and Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55 is $15.99. One item basically covers the price of the box. Consider the other four items a bonus!

The idea of a 6th surprise item in your box is a great deal as well.

If you love trying out new products and you're on a budget, I would recommend this box. I also want to add that you can cancel your GLOSSYBOX subscription at any time within 14 days prior to delivery. I hate putting stuff like that out there but I have had a bad experience with an American box and  it's good to know your opinions. Whether or not you use it..

If you're interested in trying out GLOSSYBOX use my promo code: Glossy29 for 10% off!

What type of concealer do you use?

Liquid Cover Up Oil-Free Foundation and Concealer in V13

There are so many concealer finishes on the market now! Foam, cream or liquid- its so hard to choose.

I personally prefer liquid because it provides the most natural coverage for me.

Now in my 20's I'm blessed to not have extremely dark under eye circles but who know what will happen later on.

Currently, one of my favorite concealers is Vasanti's Liquid Cover Up Oil-Free Foundation and Concealer.

I'm always on the hunt for another holy grail concealer!

Canadian Face of the Day featuring Annabelle & Marcelle

Happy Canada Day!

To Celebrate it's only right to share a look I did featuring Canadian brand Annabelle & Marcelle.

I shared this look in a previous post but now I will share details on what I used!

I have reviewed a lot of Annabelle & Marcelle products on my blog in the past. If someone asks me which products are definate must haves, I would recommend: Annabelle Smoothies & Marcelle Waterproof eyeliners.

The smoothies can be used as over the eye as a highlighter, shadow or liner. Once they set, they don't budge. To top it off they are crease free & waterproof.

 
The color I used is called melonade. I use it in my inner corners daily. I also blend it out as a highlighter.

 The waterproof eyeliners comes in 16 colors!
I chose Electric Blue because it compliments my skin tone.

Happy Canada Day!
