THANN Natural Skin Care travel kit

The worst part about traveling is not being able to bring everything you need!

How amazing would it be to bring a whole suitcase of makeup and accessories? It would be heavy as hell but totally worth it! Thank God for travel-sized items. Ladies, vacations are the best time to use up your minis/GWP and travel-sized items.

I plan on going somewhere hot next month. Skin care is going to be a huge deal for me because the sun can really wreak havoc on your skin in a short amount of time.

Thankfully, I have the Thann Stunning Facial Set.

It comes with three essentials:

THANN Oatmeal Face Scrub.
  • Gently exfoliates and nourishes the skin.
  • Oat extract and Rice bran oil provides nourishment.
  • Marsh Mallow extract contains Vitamin A, B and C, moisturizes and strengthens skin condition.
  • Centella extract has calming effects on the skin.
  • Paraben Free with no artificial color or fragrance

THANN Detoxifying Clay Mask:
  • Developed using natural nutrient rich clay which absorbs toxins and cleans up dirt embedded in pores.
  • Cucumber and Rose extracts sooth the skin while Rice bran oil provides nourishment. 
  • Paraben Free with no artificial color or fragrance.
THANN Rice Extract Cream:
  • The unique 10% rice bran oil formula helps prevent and protect dry skin providing temporary relief from scaling and chapping associated with dry skin. 
  • This naturally nourishing, non-greasy formula is non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). 
  • Paraben Free with no artificial color or fragrance
I will be using THANN as my night time regime while on vacay. 
I'll probably use a light cleanser & a moisturizer high in SPF for the morning.
    How do you feel about travel-sized items?

    The Best Flat-Iron?

    I don't usually do posts like this but I love getting input from you all!

    Recently one of my favorite flat-irons totally died on me.

    When I say die... I mean it fell apart in my hands. Its kinda funny but now I'm on the hunt for a new one.

    Back in December 2011, I bought one from KISS. It's nice but I find that it doesn't glide smoothly. Tugging leads to breakage and I really don't want that!

    Thankfully it was only $29.99 on sale..

    Anyways summer is coming and I need to get a good one. I have a few questions for you:
    • Which flat iron is your favorite?
    • Where did you get it?
    • Do you remember the price point?

    It's okay if you don't remember all the details, I just really need the name.

    *****Thank you all for names & info where to buy them.*****



    I created a post to help anyone struggling to find a good flat-iron.




    Dove ClearTone + Let's talk underarms

    One area of your body goes unnoticed daily. 
    It's not done out of spite but if you live in Canada you would totally understand. 
    Okay let me put it out there....

    I'm talking about your
    ARM PITS!

    According to a study commissioned by Dove, 93% of women feel their underarms are unattractive and 1/3 go so far as buying tops with sleeves so they can hide their underarms.

    As awkward as this post is, I can identify...

    Introducting
    Dove ClearTone Deodorant

    Dove® Clear Tone™ Deodorant with calendula and sunflower seed extracts moisturizes to accelerate the natural skin renewal process, helping to visibly reduce dark marks and even tone with regular use over time, while providing 24-hour odor and wetness protection.

    My method of removal is shaving. Shaving changes the discoloration under your arms. 
    It also can lead to dry flaky skin.

    I want to embrace the cute new summer trends like neon dresses & pastel tanks. 
    So I'm starting my Dove ClearTone regime asap.

     Twice a day: Morning & night.

    Hopefully by the end of June I will see a difference.
    I WILL NOT include a picture of my pits..I'll spare you of that..Haha

    Question for you ladies:
    How do you feel about your underarms?

    Marcelle + NYX Matte Lip Cream + Self portrait

    Hey Ladies!

    It's been a while since I've done a self portrait. Believe it or not, I'm holding the camera with my right hand. I've perfected this because nobody has the patience to wait for me to take the perfect "shot". After 20 pictures this one was my favorite!

    I'm not sure if you can see my clothing but I'm rocking my favorite Jessica Simpson denim vest with a long black tank.

    I need to highlight my "Canadian eyes":
    Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner - Midnight Black
    Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara - Black

    Marcelle (Canadian brand) has great EXTREME black liners and mascara.

    I've been obsessed with reds this year. I think I should do a post on my favorites soon. Here I'm rocking NYX Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo.
    I bought it at IMATS Toronto last year for $3.00.
    If you are a matte lipstick wearer, I'd definitely recommend these.
    Soft, creamy & long lasting.

    Would you be interested in a favorite red lipstick post? 

    My Beauty Blogging Story!

    When I started blogging, I told no one. Blogging was my little save haven. It allowed me to indulge in my love of cosmetics with people who share the same beliefs.

    I was vlogging on youtube before I started blogging but hardly any of my followers followed me to this platform.

    I basically started everything from scratch in 2008. The first person I told was my brother, then boyfriend and a few cousins. I recently told my parents last month and they were very supportive of it. Such a great feeling but awkward when they tell other family members.

    Am I embarrassed? NO. Am I shy? NO. I just prefer to share my obsession with the people who I know I can engage and learn from.....

    YOU ALL!
