It's Righteous, Oh So Righteous

The Righteous Butter is the distant (something like, 5th or 6th) cousin of the infamous Sexy Mother Pucker. Both are made by Soap & Glory and can be purchased at any Shoppers Drugmart across Canada.

I really only have two things to say about this lavish body butter...

1. The price of $14.99 is well worth it for this pink jar of wonderful.

2. It's a must-try - Your skin will adore you when it's all said and done.

M*A*C Cosmetics - Mineralize Skin Finish

Absolutely perfect for Summer and made by M*A*C, this beautiful highlight is a satiny smoothe powder that is sold (on M*A*C's website) in two colours; Gold Deposit and Soft and Gentle. I have both, and could Rave about them for hours.

It is made to softly highlight your cheek bones and other areas of your face that the sun naturally touches, like the bridge of your nose, your chin, temples and even your hairline. The gorgeous metallic finish will catch the suns rays and brighten your face on even the darkest of days.

The nice thing about it is that it comes in compacts of 10 grams which is quite a lot given that you only need a tiny bit to highlight with so it will last you quite some time.

Both of these particular shades can also be used alone as an eyeshadow or a highlight on your brow line when applying darker shadow colours.

When applying the Mineralize Skin Finish you will want to be sure that you have the correct application tool, so you will require a stipple brush - for example, M*A*C's 187 and 188 Duo Fibre Brushes.

I guarantee that you will love it as much as I do. If you have a chance to try it out, let me know what you think!!

Remember, Ladies - Less is truly more with this product.

Elizabeth Grant Skincare - Caviar Night Crème

I was shopping at Winners a few months ago and found Elizabeth Grant's Caviar Night Crème on a shelf near the checkout. At the time I thought that I had seen caviar cream on the MTV reality show Rich Girls with Tommy Hilfigers' daughter (which is why I bought it), but now I think that I am completely wrong. Either way, I bought the cream because the caviar made it sound luxurious and it came in a really pretty gold and black package.

For some reason I had envisioned night creams as really bad pore cloggers so I never used them but I was really excited to try my new little jar of fish eggs...

I used it religiously for one week and the results were actually shocking. I don't have acne but I do get small blemishes under my cheek bones sometimes. The cream made the colour of my face completely uniform and literally cleared up anything unpretty. I thought that it was a fluke, so I stopped using the cream for a couple weeks. As soon a new blemish formed, I started the cream again...and then they were gone.

Before bed, I cleanse my face with a toner and apply the cream. It seems a bit wet and oily when it is first applied but it soaks in quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and silky. The difference that you will see and feel after using this product is truly remarkable. I can't say enough good things about it.

I tried to find the exact product on Elizabeth Grant's website but I was unable to - which is possibly why it was being sold at Winners; however, I did find it on Ebay selling for $44. Or you can try to find it at Winners for $8.99 like I did.

If you are able to get your hands on a jar of this cream, I highly suggest that you give it a try!!

I la-la-love it!!

Back in Action!!

Hello My Lovelies!

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the past couple months have been very busy for me; but I'm back in action and so excited to be able to sit down and write again.

Although I am not a pro when it comes to cosmetics, my friends and family are always asking me what products I use - clearly because I am stocked up on enough makeup to last me for the next 25 years and because I try everything!!

Even though I have been busy for the past while, I have tried a few products that I can't wait to share. They will be the focus of my next few blog entries. If you have the chance to try them out, I highly suggest that you do!!
