5 Favorite Korean Toners
Korean skincare products are taking the world by storm. Stores like ULTA and Sephora are starting to carry these skincare products that come from overseas. There are many different brands to choose from online and also in stores. It may be a difficult choice on which toner to purchase with so many different brands out there to choose from. Korean toners do not have alcohol in them like American toners do, because of this Korean toners won't strip or dry out your skin like their American counterparts do. Korean toners also contain ingredients that are better for your skin and will help improve your complexion over time with use.

11 Eyeshadow Palettes and My Tift with Them
Disclaimer: All information was gathered from @trendmood, an amazing Instagram account that makeup junkies need to follow, stat. Constructive criticism is not someone being negative and hateful. It comes from a positive place and intention in wanting someone to improve and better themselves. Because if I “hate” something, I’m not going to waste my time and energy talking about it (most of the times). So if you are sensitive to constructive criticism, you are welcome to leave. Watch my video on YT but this is better. Datum, I wrote Part I not even a week ago. Brands need to chill with this pumping out of MU.

11 Luxury MU Brands at Shoppers Drug Mart
Disclaimer I could be completely wrong (so whatever I say = grain of salt). But I do feel that a lot of Canadian makeup consumers do not know that Shoppers Drug Mart also carries quite a few luxury or high end makeup brands, which we see at Sephora. And I would urge people to pay attention to putting their money at Shoppers Drug Mart because the point system is (absolutely) so much better, hands down. And the rewards are endless, comparatively to what Sephora offers (which is kind of embarrassing for Sephora, but obviously they are not bothered). I also do think that Canadians supporting a Canadian business would be nice (unless it’s not Canadian, like Tim Hortons), but that’s just me. Also, you can buy both drugstore and high end makeup at one place, maximizing the reward system. Granted there are two cons with SDM.

5 Favorite Korean Snail Products
I am a huge fan of Korean Skincare products. They work well on my combination oily skin and often times contain unique ingredients. Snail secretion is one of those unique ingredients that is sometimes found in Korean Skincare items. No snails were harmed in the making of these items. The slime left behind by the snails is only used.

BoxyCharm Review. Top Story - August 2018.
Hello, my lovely people, I was thinking I could start doing a monthly review of my BoxyCharm. BoxyCharm is a monthly subscription for $21/month that comes as a box of four to five full size cosmetic products. The products range from brands such as Tarte, Becca, Dr. Brandt, etc. (mostly high end). The box is literally a steal. It gets no better than BoxyCharm in my opinion. I first started out with the Ipsy bag subscription, but I'd much rather get full size items. Since makeup is such a hobby of mine and I don’t have $100s to spend on makeup every month, $21 is doable for me. Especially when each box is valued at over $120 almost every time. I’ve received the box twice so far, and both times they were over $130. I couldn't be happier with this subscription. I would highly recommend any of you reading to check it out! :)

Favorite Makeup Removers
Many women wear makeup and use makeup remover to take off their makeup at the end of the day. With so many products on the market, it's hard to know which one to purchase. I took a recent poll on Facebook to see which makeup removers were the favorites among my friends. The following is the results from that poll.

Juvia’s Place: Time for a Change!
Disclaimer: I love everything that Juvia’s Place represents and what the brand is all about. I love their quality, hands down. I love their price (disliked the shipping, though). However, nothing is perfect. Therefore, I may or may not have a problem with the colourstory. But that is not what this post is about today. The point being that makeup is NOT essential, you may feel that way, but it does not change the fact that makeup does not equate survival. MU is always a want and never a need. If you are sensitive to constructive critique, please leave.

Favorite Lipstick Brands
I recently took a poll on Facebook and asked what everyone's favorite brand of lipstick was. There are many brands on the market and it can be hard to know which one to choose. As a lipstick lover myself, I found the poll helpful and it gives me an idea of what brands I should put on my "to try" list. I am always looking for a new favorite to discover.
