Love Letters and Lace

I'm always down for a good face mask and pampering session, but there's something about cold weather that makes face masks all the more enjoyable.  A while back, Nip + Fab came out with a super great range of Kale products (yup, it's not just a super food for your stomach anymore!), and they're super hydrating, which is definitely what is ever so needed in the colder months. I've been getting a lot of use from the Kale Fix Clay Mask, which just might be my favourite from the range!  This face mask was super pleasant. It has a slight, non overpowering scent, and a smooth creamy feel to it. You know you're getting lots of hydration while wearing it. I've been loving this lately, now that it's getting pretty cold over here and my skin is starting to get dryer than usual.  I notice a difference in my skin with just one use; it's softer and more plump, which is exactly that I look for in my skincare. Definitely been loving this one lately!

Hey everyone, Continuing on with my top recommendations for dry skin, lets talk about one of my (and so many other people's) problem area: the under eye area. I have very dry, dehydrated under eyes with dark circles, so I'm always on the hunt for an eye cream that can help that out. This eye cream from Clinique is a godsend to those of us with dehydrated or dry under eyes. It applies like a gel consistency, and melts into your skin, feeling almost like an oil that your skin will just drink up. I didn't notice it making a huge difference to my dark circles, but my under eyes were so much more hydrated. This also means my under eye concealer applied so much better and looked much less crease-y and cakey. If you have dry skin, especially dry under eyes, this is one of the best eye creams I've used to date to fix that up ASAP. Hope you're all having a wonderful day! xo

Hey everyone! Just stopping by today with a quick review on my new go-to foundation at the moment: an oldie but a goodie, the  Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation. I won't ramble on too long about this product because I definitely could, so here is what I've noticed with it in the time I've been using it so far: Coverage is medium but definitely buildable. Finish is natural , almost dewy but not quite.  You need to set it with a powder because it will stay tacky to the touch even after a while.  It has a light, fresh scent that goes away very quickly after applying it.  Didn't cause me to break out or any irritation to my sensitive skin.  It felt very hydrating and comfortable; GREAT for dry skin types   Definitely lives up to the long wearing claim; lasts well through heat, humidity, sweat, etc.  Very light feeling on the skin, you don't even notice you're wearing foundation.  Bonus: FINALLY a drugstore foundation with a shade light

If you have dry skin, you're probably not stranger to using oils (and if you are, what are you doing?? Get on the train). The Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil was the very first oil that I used on my face and I've been obsessed ever since. My favourite way to use this product is to mix in 2-3 drops into my daily moisturizer to add extra hydration. I've also applied it directly onto dry patches. It also works wonderfully on hair, cuticles and basically any dry area on your skin that needs some help. It has basically no scent, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and doesn't break me out. Sound like a miracle product yet? It should, cause it pretty much is. Yes, it's on the pricier side of things, but you're getting a very high quality product and you can honestly feel the difference it makes in your skin, so for that, I can justify the splurge.

As you all know, I have very dry skin which means I'm always testing out new products that may make my skincare journey a little bit more comfortable. I decided since I'm always testing out new products that I'll be sharing the best of the best of them weekly with you all, so those of you struggling with dry skin like me know what really works. If you have extremely dry skin like me, you know that the only thing that can soothe it is a thick, balm-like cream, which is what I found when I tried out the Lipikar Baume AP+ and the Nutritic Intense Riche creams from La Roche Posay. Now, let's keep it short and sweet because I could rave about these products all day. The  Lipikar Baume AP+ is a must have when your skin is having bad flare ups of dryness and just generally freaking out. This cream is thick but comfortable; your skin doesn't feel like it's suffocating under it. It also soothes any itchiness which is so relieving. The  Nutritic Intense Riche

My skin is going through a phase. It is drier than the desert in July and I've been trying my best to rehydrate it, which means I've tested out a TON of products in the past couple weeks, which of course I will review for you all. Today we're talking about the  Aromatherapeutic Moroccan Argan Oil from Acure, in the rose scent. I am someone who swears by oils. Be it for my skin or my hair, I'm a huge believer in the benefits of using an oil to solve any of your dryness issues. This oil is a nice one. While it is argan oil, I find it has a subtle citrusy lemongrass scent (even though it says that it's rose scented!) Alright so let's talk about what makes this oil great; Lightweight and quickly absorbed Multipurpose: works great in hair, on cuticles, and on any dry areas of the skin Scent is subtle and fades away after a while  Suitable for sensitive skin Organic, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Sulfate Free and Paraben Free Honestly this is great stuff to hav
