A few years ago, I took the Stayfree Challenge and was surprised to find that the Stayfree Ultra Thin Pads performed better than the brand of pads I had been using for years!

Last year, Maybelline launched a camouflaging concealer called Master Conceal by FaceStudio (Camouflaging Concealer).

You may have heard of the brand StriVectin before? Well, I wasn't surprised recently to find out that the skin care brand had decided to branch off into hair care. Makes complete sense - considering that the scalp is skin too! Using the same patented technology found in their skin care products (NIA-114) StriVectin recently launched three ...
Happy weekend lovelies! I've got a sick little one at home today but my husband recently tested out Obagi's Professional-C Serum (15%) and said he was ready to deliver his verdict, so I thought I'd jump online to provide a quick update while she napped. Obagi, is a physician-dispensed skin care company whose products have been designed to help ...
Last weekend, I dropped into my local Shoppers Drug Mart for their #LipsandScents event which was open to the general public. Shoppers beautyBoutique events are always so much fun. To celebrate Valentine's Day, Shoppers provided complimentary makeovers, fragrance profiles and even treated customers to beverages and macarons! Not only did I run into an old friend that I ...
