Best Face and Body Scrubs

Finding a seriously awesome body scrub yet staying away from microbeads takes a conscious effort. We all know these little pieces of plastic are harmful to our environment but they are still used in many different face and body products. I've tried to find the best body scrubs without these harmful little pieces of plastic. 

One of the best face and body scrubs I've tried has been from Lush. Let the Good Times Roll smells like caramel popcorn. It costs $12.95 CAD for 100 g. It honestly smells so amazing and a little goes a long way. 

I've also tried the sugar scrubs from Bath & Body Works. The Golden Sugar Scrub is a great option, my favourite scent in the line is Paris Amour. Another option is the Foaming Sugar Scrub, my favourite scent is the Pretty as a Peach. Both of these cost $16.50 CAD for 226 g. A great time to stock up on these is during the Semi-Annual Sale, which is on right now. 

A less expensive option is used ground coffee grounds as a scrub. So after you brew your morning cup of coffee, take those coffee grounds to the shower. These grounds still contain caffeine which is one of the main ingredients in all those cellulite busting products. So really its a two in one, it doesn't add any cost to your life and helps with cellulite. 

I'm always down to try new products, so if anyone knows of any awesome scrubs I need to try comment them down below!

BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Review

I finally got my hands on the newest items in the ChampagneCollection . I’ve been a fan of Jaclyn Hill for only about a year, but since then I’ve wanted to support her. I know she’s done other collaborations with other companies but because I live in Canada, those have ended up being too expensive after the U.S. to Canadian dollar conversion, shipping and handling, and finally duty. When she first announced the collab I was head over heels in love. I purchased the Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed which retails for $46 CAD when it was still believed to be limited edition. And I also purchased the highlight palette that came out at Christmas (which I’ve hit pan on but I’m still using Champagne Pop mixed with Pearl every day). Then the Face Palette was announced along with the Eyeshadow Palette (which was pulled), the Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured, and the liquid Shimmering Skin Perfector. Out of these, the only thing I decided not to purchase was the Shimmering Ski...

My Skincare Routine

This winter my skin has been horrible. I've ended up having to completely change my skincare routine. I've had a lot of breakouts and cystic acne. My skin has also been parched due to the freezing weather we've been having in Saskatchewan. I have combination skin, but in the winter it is extremely dry. Tea tree oil and sheet masks have been my best friend this month. I'll go through in order of how I use the products, and then at the end, I'll list some extra products I use when I deem necessary. Garnier Micellar Water $8 I'm obsessed with Micellar Water as I think everyone else still is. It removes all my makeup, and I don't have to wash my face afterwards. It's relatively inexpensive, and it lasts quite a long time if you're only using it to remove eye makeup. It's not something I use every day, but if I'm wearing waterproof makeup or a lot of eyeliner, I'll use this before washing my face with my tea tree cleanser. The Body Shop T...

ABH Ultimate Glow

As you may know, I'm a huge fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills. The Ultimate Glow Kit was the first highlight palette I've purchased from ABH. I've been really wanting the Moonchild Glow Kit, but since I live in Canada, it ends up being too expensive with the exchange rate, taxes, shipping, and duty. The Ultimate Glow Kit I figured could tie me over until I find a way to get my hands on other Glow Kits. I purchased mine from Sephora.ca for $59 CAD. Yes, crazy expensive for a highlighter palette. But it comes with 6 different highlighters.  The only other highlighter I use is Champagne Pop from BECCA Cosmetics. So I'll be comparing this palette to that highlighter even though they are entirely different. Time for the product breakdown. They recommend using their brush #23, but I just use my Morphe M509 brush. Honestly, any brush you have will work that is small enough for careful placement. The top 3 highlights are what they describe as Shimmering Lustre, and these are Sno...
