Sugar Coated Giveaway

 
Hello my dears. I have decided to do another beauty post today. I was sure I was not going to do many beauty posts, but this is already second one in 2 weeks. Never say never! I really wanted to share these products with you because I use them every day, and I absolutely love them. So if you have read my very first post here, you will know I love to share my great finds and share my experiences. These products will work for everyone, well most of you anyway.

I will start of with the eye cream I use daily. I realized that I mentioned using the eye cream in my last beauty post here, but did not give you the name or make. This one is from France Laure Cosmetics. You actually get two products in one. It can be used for both around eyes and lips. Those of you who smoke, really do need to worry about your lip lines as well. You just need a little bit of product and you are set. It will last you a long time. And for those of you who love a great Canadian product or just love to support Canadian products, this one is for you. All Canadian line and made in Canada too.
Keeping with the theme of skin protection, I would like to talk about everyday sun protection. I always wondered how face creams with SPF really work. We all hear that you have to reapply your sun screen throughout the day. Now do you all carry your face cream with you in your purse? Kind of heavy and inconvenient I'll say. Also, if you wear makeup, and most of us girls do, whether it's only a blush, you cannot apply face cream over it. Or are we supposed to carry our face wash too to wash our face before applying the cream? Well, I got a great product for you. Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care Instant Mineral SPF. It is a translucent powder that goes on your face over your makeup. You can keep reapplying it all day long and you will not feel a thing. It will not affect your makeup, you will not get that cakey feel even if you have oily skin. It comes in different SPFs and also for oily or aging skin. Oh, one great thing, it comes in a compact little brush so it fits in your purse or a clutch just perfectly. Apply it every time you leave the house, even as you are walking. If you are going for a long drive, you can also brush it on you hands (they show age spots first) and apply it on your neck as well. If you will be spending a whole day on the beach in the sun, maybe you should use something more heavy since you will be going in the water as well and sweating more excessively. This is your everyday product. I am not sure where in the stores you can find it, but just visit Sephora or Google it and you will not have any problems finding a local distributor. I love it and I guarantee you will too.
  
Moving onto make up. I love make up but I can't say I experiment much with it. I have dry skin so foundation usually dries it even more and creates wrinkles even when I don't have any. I was told I make a lot of face gestures when I speak so maybe that explains it :). When I was in Europe few years ago I tried Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Serum and have been committed to it since. The texture is absolutely amazing. It covers all imperfections without that cakey feel. You do not even notice at all that you have any foundation on your face. Just make sure you blend. I have suggested it to a lot of my friends with different skin types and it worked perfectly for all of them. And it's a real bargain too. For the summer months, I don't like using foundation at all. I feel like I can't breath. This product is so lightweight that you will not feel it at all. If you are still not certain, mix it with your face cream for an even lighter texture and there you have it. Don't spend money on BB creams, they are exactly that, mixture of face cream and foundation. Bourjois foundation comes in different tints but they don't come in dark shades in Canada, so unfortunately it won't work on darker skin tones. I use Light Bronze shade, which is the darkest available in Canada. It works great on me and on a friend of mine who has a much darker complexion then me. The texture of the product makes it possible, but if you have a really dark skin, try it out in the store first. And make sure you check out what it looks like on you in daylight. Let me know what you think.
 
Lastly, I am really excited to share this wonderful new product from Sally Hansen. If you love how white nail polish looks like on other people or magazine pictures, but when you put it on your nails it looks like you just brushed on some white out, this is a great product for you. I had the same issues and was more then ecstatic when I discovered Sally Hansen Sugar Coat textured nail polish. It comes in several shades, but I love the white. When you put it on it gives you a perfect cover with texture which looks like exactly as the name says, sugar. I am so excited about it that I decided to give one off. To win it, follow these steps:

The Very First Outfit Post

        I took a few outfit pictures over the last few days, as I was running around my day and I wasn’t sure what would be the first one to post. I debated and as the days went by and weather changed (it seems every day it was a different season), I decided to go with the very first one I shot. This one I actually took last month at the High Park.   It was the last few days when you could see the cherry tree blossom so I did not want to miss out on it. I love spring only for this reason, trees and flowers blossoming. And the fact that it is a sign that the summer is just around the corner (I am still waiting for this corner though), but it is a sign.      A little nervous giggle              Sweater Costa Blanca, white tee H&M, rings, earrings, necklaces and leggings Forever 21, watch Michael Kors, bag Louis Vuitton, sneakers Urban Planet, sunglasses Ray Ban   This is a very casual outfit and very odd for me in the sense that

Have You Visited Positano & Amalfi Coast Yet?

Pants Zara, jacket Zara, sneakers Forever21, bag unknown (Winners), dress unknown ( similar ), ankle boots PrettyLittleThings There are still quite a few more outfits and cities I’ll be featuring on the blog from my last year’s trip to Italy, however today I’m sharing this post from the last location we visited: beautiful Positano. As we visited Italy in the fall, outfits left to share are more fall appropriate, so I will share them come September. I’ll be dealing with two little babies then so God knows how much time I will have to shoot new outfits. As I’m laying on my couch bored out of my mind counting down the days to my delivery next week (whooohoooo!!!) I’m experiencing such FOMO. Partially because I won’t be going on vacation this summer (though becoming a mom to two little girls is quite awesome!!) and partially because I’m reminiscing of my travels last year. Positano seems to still be one of the most photographed summer destinations so I’m sharing a few pictures f

Sightseeing Montreal In Hot Pink Sneakers & Ripped Jeans

Day two in Montreal, was again walking the beautiful streets of old Montreal and testing out patios, but now in daylight, hehehe. Oh and lets not forget, blog picture taking. I forget how beautiful this city is and am reminded every time I come back. Then, I wonder why I don't come back more often. It is gorgeous, vibrant and people are extremely warm. It has such a European flare, which I often miss, and this is a quick way for me to get that fix once in a while, without having to fly over an ocean. These pictures were snapped around St Denis street as well as around Catherdral Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal. I was comfortable in my new N

Hopefully, those of you who are moms got to be pampered and spoiled by your kids and partners. I hope you also showed your love to your moms and thanked them for everything they have done for you. We should be doing it every day, but it’s really nice to have a day dedicated to these amazing women. I know how much my mother means to me and she certainly deserves every day to be dedicated just to her. I’m sure all of you feel the same way about your mothers too. Even the sun came out to shine and make Mother’s day even more special. I made sure to go bare legged to welcome the warmth and the sun. Today’s outfit is a cute spring look, easy to pull off. Black and white stripes always make a statement and a little pop of colour just makes the outfit complete. I spent the day out mostly
