<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Lovelies! I've been slacking I know. I'm sad to report that I had to cancel a few of my boxes given my current jobless situation. I hope to get back with them soon. There were only two monthly subscriptions that I thought were worth holding onto. Why? Let me show you :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to go with the Regular TopBox again this month and I'm happy with that choice. This month I received:(left to right)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">KMS California Free Shape Quick Blow Dry Spray: I'm actually pretty impressed with this product. It did exactly as it claimed!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">yaby Lip Colour in Hot Date: Its sitting in my Glam RX palette right now :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cuccio Colour Nail Lacquer in Make a Wish in Rome</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Belvada Cosmetics One Moment Essential Day Cream: That's 24K gold flakes sitting in there. This also costs a pretty penny at $60/60 mL. I'm not entirely sure about this product. I mean the idea of smearing gold and pearls on my face doesn't sound like it would work. But I guess I'll have to see :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Lovelies! I would like to share with you my review of the <a href="http://www.cocoonapothecary.com/">Cocoon Apothecary</a> Skin Care Starter Kit for normal, dry, sensitive, and mature skin types. (from their website)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #54311b; line-height: 17px;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cocoon Apothecary is an artisanal skin care company that embraces the power of nature to deliver a luxurious product without compromise. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, we make skin and body care products that are as good for your skin as they are for the Earth.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #54311b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">oH Canada!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best thing about this set: Roses! Real rose oils and extracts! I used this set for about a week and I think my nose was in heaven as well! It was also very user friendly. It was pampering even when you are on the go!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Petal Purity Facial Cleanser is meant to be used on dry skin. It has a sort of cream consistency. I would say its kinda like a milk but thicker. You give yourself a little facial massage as you are gently cleansing your face. You can wipe off with a damp cloth. I usually prefer to just rinse with some warm water and pat dry. Either way, it gets the job done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Rose Dew Facial Toner is an immediate fix for rose lovers. To tone just spray on your face or a cotton pad and wipe down your face. Gently and moisturizing, it did not dry out my face. Sometimes I spray it on throughout the day for a little spritz!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream should be applied to dry skin. It feels like a heavier cream but definitely goes on smooth and light. And of course, makes you smell like you had a lovely rosewater steam facial. The formula last morning til night and kept my face baby soft!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, I was really impressed with these skin care products and would not hesitate to pick up this little set again! The packaging also has an elegance with nature combined to it. Check out <a href="http://www.cocoonapothecary.com/">Cocoon Apothecary</a>.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello all my wonderful Lovelies! I have some exciting news for you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bad news first: I recently lost my job. I cried, I moped, I got angry, but I'm ok. The job search has been less than successful. I had always had it in the back of my mind to try my hand at being a Stylist. So now with me being unemployed, why not be my own boss for a try? And Voila! A Stylist is born!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stella& Dot is an upcoming jewelry and accessories company designed with the woman entrepreneur in mind. Not only is it great quality jewelry using only quality materials (sterling silver, bronze, semi-precious stones), it is also a great opportunity for women to have a run at their own business. This is my new baby :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I invite all my lovelies to check out my webpage: <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/geniemckrow">www.stelladot.com/geniemckrow</a> When you think of buying from Stella & Dot, think of me, your Stylist. You can shoot me a message or shop online right from my website. They ship anywhere in Canada for one low flat rate of $7.95. If you are in my area, let's have a trunk show! A trunk show is a pop-up boutique in your home that you can invite your girlfriends to for a fun night in. You get to touch and try on the jewelry and get styled from your own personal Stylist! Trunk show Hostesses also get rewards, such as free jewelry credits. And trunk shows are Fun! I had my own a few years ago and that is what made me fall in love with Stella & Dot. And I also thought, 'Hey I could do this!' So I have! I'm super excited for this next part of my life. Who knows what this story has in hold for me? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am still job hunting as science is my first passion but so far I am enjoying this! But this also means a little slow down here. Not too slow! Onyx and Mick are still prominent features and I will still be wanting to share my thoughts and opinions and any new beauty finds with all my Lovelies! We aren't going anywhere, but we will take a tiny step back. At least until I can smoothly integrate all this newness together! So please bear with me and thank you for your patience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I look forward to styling all my Lovelies!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yours in Style,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the biggest trends I've noticed lately is the use of oils to restore your hair. Argan oil has made a name for itself in this field. In this post, I'd like to share with you my adventures with some different oil products. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJqGvgs9mrt2YetEISgIJDG37_T80Ula4YrR2EPstZJeGhootrcqo7kHU3QxC1kerGw9aFiNCdPx2ihouu7BErwRC-snmVcus_gcgj2gT5hzKRorrZk5E4AcKS1IQXG7zYftPR_GIWxrd/s1600/20130706_134942.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJqGvgs9mrt2YetEISgIJDG37_T80Ula4YrR2EPstZJeGhootrcqo7kHU3QxC1kerGw9aFiNCdPx2ihouu7BErwRC-snmVcus_gcgj2gT5hzKRorrZk5E4AcKS1IQXG7zYftPR_GIWxrd/s1600/20130706_134942.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's start on the left and work our way right:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>1. Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rosemary is one of my favourite seasonings. So when I saw this product, I knew I had to sleuth it out! It smells exactly like rosemary should. This hair oil can also be used to treat the scalp. I applied this to my hair after a shower and left it in as a conditioner. You can also use it as a hair mask. Massage a good amount into the hair and cover with a shower cap. Leave on for forty minutes before rinsing it out. This oil has been formulated with organic extracts of rosemary, clover blossoms, and burdock root.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>2. Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is one of the better known beauty brands for hair oil. And if you like the smell of macadamia nuts, this one's for you! I like to put it on my damp or dry hair and comb through. You can also add a few drops to your hair mask or leave-in conditioner. While it may sound kinda natural, the formulation does contain dimethicone and cyclomethicone (silicones that help in lubrication and coverage). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>3.Moroccan Hair Oil or Argan Oil from Gosh Cosmetics</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Argan oil seems to have tons of uses! Facial oil, cuticle oil, and now hair oil. Argan oil adds a healthy shine to your locks. I like to massage this into my wet hair and just let everything air dry. I find my hair actually feels softer and silkier this way. The heat just kinda leaves a residue feeling, even though right on the bottle it says to blow dry for best results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>4. Mythic Oil by L'Oreal Professional</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is advertised as a nourishing oil. Yet this is probably the most synthetic smelling hair oil I've ever tried. It does a great job of nourishing hair as it says. I like to put this on dry hair. It makes my locks nice and smooth. Its the smell that both draws me in and throws me off. It smells quite fragrant, like a bottle of designer perfume. But therein lies my problem. I don't think hair oil should smell that way. At least I don't want my hair to smell that way all the time. I like hair oils that don't really have a scent to them. This was just over powering. I used this much less often then the others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So Lovelies, what are your favourite hair oils? Are there any I should try?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who's that under the coffee table? Why its Onyx! What a sneeky little girl! This is her 'come pet my belly and receive claws' look. I fall for it all the time :( Today, I want to share with you my review of a few more <a href="http://www.tashodi.ca/">Tashodi</a> products. You may remember my review of Tashodi's <a href="http://onyxandmick.blogspot.ca/2013/06/tashodi-handsoap-and-cream-review.html">Hand soap and cream</a>. I have a few more products to share with you! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is Tashodi's Shower Cream in the scent pure lavender. Now I'm not the biggest lavender fan. Its not one of my top favourite scents. I mostly think its a little overpowering and it doesn't appeal to the olfactory in me. So when I received this for review, I was incredibly skeptical. But one shower later.....woosh! Wow! The cream is incredibly indulgent. My skin never felt that good after one wash. It must be the shea. And the scent. Well, my nose rather welcomed it. It was not strong at all, like I was in a lavender flower patch but not yet ripe for picking. I enjoyed using this shower cream. The only complaint I have is that the dispenser was too small for the bottle and the liquid's thickness. It took a long time to dispense the amount I wanted onto my shower poof.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is Tashodi's Body Scrub in Ocean Minerals. This scrub was incredibly gritty. That's the way a scrub should be if you want the job done right. I also discovered this is a salt scrub. How did I discover? I accidentally got some in my mouth. It was salty! (and I'm not really sure how I got it in my mouth) I like to use a cloth with my scrubs to help exfoliate. This scrub was great in that it didn't leave a lot of oily residue on my skin or the bath tub walls. Followed up with some lotion and I was all set! Here is a close up of the scrub:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Lovelies, today I bring you an oH Canada review! Meet <a href="http://kaianaturals.com/">Kaia Naturals</a>. Kaia Naturals specializes in making quality, all natural, organic, cruelty-free products in small batches. I had a chance to try a sampler of their skincare products.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The three products on the left are the Matte-finish products. The product on the right is a travel size packet with a juicy bamboo cleansing cloth inside. I used all these products for a week. I started my routine first with the Juicy Bamboo cleansing cloth. Juicy Bamboo cleansing cloths are alcohol, paraben and sulphate free. What's left? A blend of 8 essential plant-based oils, organic honey, and vitamins. I really love the smell of these wipes! I'm not entirely sure how to describe it but the scent is unique. I love putting it on my face. I don't think this is a great makeup remover though. I would use this after cleaning my make up off rather then the sole remover. I think it doesn't really work too well with makeup that is less than natural. This is great for just cleansing though. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After cleansing I used the Booster serum. This serum is perfect for dry skin. It contains moringa oil. I was surprised to learn that moringa oil contains 6 times the amount of Vitamin C than a regular orange. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After serum, I used the face cream. This cream contains both argan and moringa oil for a serious moisture punch. It also leaves a matte finish to your face so you are makeup ready!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly, I dab eye cream under my eyes. This makes a great under-eye filler and helps any concealer stick better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I was quite impressed with the Kaia Naturals products and will definitely need more Juicy Bamboo cloths! Please check out <a href="http://kaianaturals.com/">Kaia Naturals</a> today!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Green Cream is a salad for your skin. It actually is green and contains veggie extracts. <i>(from the website)</i></span><br />

<i>Aromatic essential oils of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme will wake up your senses and help stimulate your lymphatic system.</i></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While my first instinct is to use this on my face, it can be used anywhere on your body that needs some extra moisturizing. I used this after my normal cleansing and toning routine morning and night. And don't worry about the green colour. It blends in transparent once you put it on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The smell was actually the one thing that stuck out with me. I had never tried a cream with vegetables in it. The smell of the cream is kind of like a lemon-parsley. It took me some getting used to. The creams I usually go for are fruit/flower scented or not scented at all. The cream did a wonderful job keeping my skin moisturized and feeling healthy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I guess my skin is vegetarian, haha! Please check out </span><a href="https://clinicalluxurybynature.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Graydon Clinical Luxury by Nature</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the mornings, after I put on my face cream, I dab a little of 100% Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream under my eyes. This smells great of coffee :) Another good thing to have in the morning for me ;) Caffeine de-puffs, brightens dark circles, lessens lines and wrinkles and nourishes with anti-aging nutrients. Its got organic ingredients such as aloe vera, rose hydrosol, rosehip oil, green coffee, Vitamin E and C. It also has extracts of coffee cherry, rosemary, oregano, thyme and goldenscal, vanilla absolute, candelilla wax. All sounds good to me. I like this cream not only because it smells great, it softens and cools my eyes. I definitely look more awake after putting some on! You can purchase it from <a href="http://www.100percentpure.ca/">here</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Delicate Petals Eye Satin is my favourite overnight eye cream right now. It smells like a bed of roses! I shall list out the ingredients for you: soybean butter, rice bean oil, evening primrose oil, argan oil, soy wax, rose oil, and orange blossom oil. It is strongly recommended to use this cream only at night. This is because the formulation is actually quite so that it absorbs slowly. And this is best achieved at night I think. A little dab will do it for each eye. Just gently apply to the under eye area and sleep soundly :) I find my eye area softened and the satin has usually all absorbed by morning.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Organic Rishi Iced Tea in Tropical Crimson (Caffeine-Free)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Doesn't that look like a tropical cocktail? I need a little umbrella for it.This tea is created with tropical hibiscus, pineapple, citrus and herbs. Just add ice after brewing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vance Family Soy Candle in Organic Pineapple and Coconut</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Organic Tagua Jewelry Bracelet- I also have a close up picture of me wearing it below. Love it! Each bracelet is actually handcrafted from a palm tree nut native to rainforests in Ecuador, Peru, and Columbia. The dyes used are organic vegetable dyes from Italy. An awesome summer accessory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Moksa Organic Exfoliating Body Bar in Amazon Lemon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An natural soap good for the body. It contains vanilla bean orchid and lemon. The poppy seeds are for exfoliation. Sound refreshing to me!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a closer look. And a closer look reveals the ingredients: french green clay, oatmeal, rose petals, rosemary. The mask comes in dry form. Adding a tablespoon of mask and enough water to get the consistency you want. Mix well. Upon application, give yourself a little facial massage. This will let the mask pull double duty as a mild exfoliator. The 2 in 1 function is what gets me. After you exfoliate, you leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse off gently. You can use a cloth, I usually just rinse with my hands. The mask does harden a bit when drying but its a cinch to remove. Here's my mask glamour shot! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Friday, Lovelies! I love socks! Socks are a great gift for any occassion! WEll, I like receiving socks for no reason. ;) I always need them as much as they disappear on me. (Sometimes I think the dryer is eating them....) There seems to be a subscription box out there for anything and socks are no exception. However, Canadians seem to get saddled with shipping charges. I have found <a href="http://sockingbehaviour.com/product-category/socks/">Socking Behaviour</a>. A website that sells socks and accessaries and has a sock club. Socking Behaviour is proudly Canadian. You know what that means? Free Shipping in Canada! Whoo-hoo! I was kindly sent a package to review and share with you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inside were my pair of socks! Each month is $12. If you want to share all the fun, they have a his and hers sock option. For $23/month, you get a pair for you and a pair for him/her. All with free shipping. The socks themselves are of high quality. I'm wearing them now and they fit great. I've never heard of the brand before but it seems to be holding together just fine after a washing. I'm a fan of all types of patterns so my socks are all different. Of course, I can appreciate the big stripes. If you'd like to start receiving your own socks, check out Socking Behaviour <a href="http://sockingbehaviour.com/product-category/sock-of-the-month-club/">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lovelies, today I bring you the Vegan Mineral Pencil from <a href="http://www.earthlab.ca/index.html">Earthlab Cosmetics</a>. EarthLab Cosmetics is based out of West Kelowna, BC. oH Canada! If they sound a little familiar, its because they have appeared on Dragon's Den. Did they win a dragon? Watch <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/2013/02/earth-lab-cosmetics.html">here</a> if you want to find out. Earthlab Cosmetics are 100% natural and cruelty free cosmetics. I have to show you the Vegan Mineral Pencils. I have them swatched in the picture below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are very easy to apply. I found the application to my eyes quite smooth. They also are great for smudging. The wear is all day which I found impressive. The colour pay off, as you can tell, is also great. Here is the ingredients list: Jojoba oil, castor oil, carnauba wax, cadelillia wax, ozokerite wax, vitamin E, mica, and iron oxides. That's it! No long names that are hard to pronounce. They also boast that you do not need a heavy make up remover and they wash off easily. I did a little experiment and tried to wash my hand above with just water and some gentle rubbing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, a lot of the liner did come off, but not all. I think you could still use a gentle make up remover or perhaps two washings with water to remove it completely. Still pretty impressive to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Check out the <a href="http://www.earthlab.ca/index.html">EarthLab Cosmetics</a> site as they have more products, such as lip glosses and foundation, that are also all natural and all around good for your skin.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lovelies, I have an exciting product and giveaway for you today! <a href="http://www.konakare.com/">Kona Kare</a> is based out of Ontario and these little guys are definitely amazing! oH Canada! Kona Kare's Lip Butter Balm looks like an ordinary lip balm but performs as a lip butter. I was pretty impressed when I first tried it. My lips stayed soft and supple and did not feel dried out after hours of wear. At this point, I was just re applying for fun! The consistency is soft and not too watery. Just enough slick to get your lips moist and right. They come in four different varieties. And I have them pictured below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Original: unscented but still a great feeling!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chocolate Mint: this was the very first one I got to try and I really enjoyed the smell. A great chocolate smell!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peaches and Dream: Smells just like peaches! This actually is my least favourite scent, but it was really a hard decision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">French Vanilla: ahh, good old vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The company also has a great work ethic and are highly motivated. Every email I've received from them contains a little motivating message. I definitely enjoy reading them.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday for day 4 so I'm pulling double duty today! Here is the first of two posts! Lovelies, meet <a href="http://www.kamamakcosmetics.com/#!">Kamamak Cosmetics</a> based out of British Columbia.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Kamamak is an aboriginal owned, mineral based, paraben free color cosmetics line. Infused with the native culture of north america....a modern, fun, sophisticated, take on cosmetic art. Be creative....set your inner artist free. (from their homepage)</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The adorable packaging is also made of recyclable material. They are also big on having absolutely no parabens in their products, making them safe to use. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be able to try some pressed mineral eye shadows and have swatched them here for you.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vKx-1Ue7aZc/UcerdwL5HfI/AAAAAAAAG8A/Ac_Izp2mCY8/s1600/20130623_221315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vKx-1Ue7aZc/UcerdwL5HfI/AAAAAAAAG8A/Ac_Izp2mCY8/s1600/20130623_221315.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the left is Foxy. This colour is quite a nice neutral beige with a frosty finish. It reminds me quite a bit of Urban Decay's Sin. It makes a great highlighter as well as a base.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the right is Night Owl. In its pressed form it actually looks more like a mauve. But once swatched it takes on a more dark mauve type colour. Easy to blend and perfect for a contour or mid-lid colour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also had the chance to try a Natural Lip Tint in Pink Diamond. My flash kinda makes it hard to see. Pink Diamond is actually quite sheer but the shine is definitely there! That might be why my picture turned out so bright! It was also non sticky, easy to use. It felt like it was actually good for my lips, keeping them soft and supple. I'd definitely pick up a few more colours! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome to day 3 of Canadian Beauty Businesses. I'd like to do an eye shadow and swatch from some wonderful products from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmpireLush">Empire Lush</a>. A big thank you to Sarah from Empire Lush for letting me share with you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Empire Lush does custom synthetic dreads and has just recently started with mineral makeup. I'm going to do an upcoming post on me trying dreads out for the first time pretty soon! For today, let's take a look at a pair of Empire Lush Dust eyeshadows.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the left is 24 Karat. Yes, a gold that blends so well. This would be great on its own or as a base color. Its got enough neutrality to wear during the day and enough glitz for a night out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the right is All That Glitters, one of the best sellers. You can probably tell why. This colour is great to use as your canvas and to blend. Its also the perfect highlight shade for just the corner under your brows. With an eyeliner brush, you could also use this colour to line the inner corners of your eyes to make them appear bigger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Empire Lush Dust eyeshadows is very highly pigmented and they all blend really well. Please check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmpireLush">Empire Lush</a> etsy store and take a gander at all the pretty colours! Also stop by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Empire-Lush/281903845244284">Facebook</a> Page</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Hump Day Lovelies! And hurray for the second day of Canadian businesses in beauty! oH Canada! Today I would like you to check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CRUSHCOSMETICS">Crush Cosmetics</a>. Based out of Vancouver, BC, Crush Cosmetics is run by Kym and Kristina. The etsy shop is absolutely eye candy to behold: lots of vegan-friendly makeup. Not just limited to eyeshadows, they also have a line of pressed mineral blushes, lip glosses and lip balms, as well as bath teas and solid perfumes. So a lot of variety is packed into this cute little etsy store! You could create a whole look from Crush Cosmetics products alone. Sounds like the makings of a future blog post ;) I was given the chance to try two lovely eye shadows and have swatched them for you below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the left is My Immortal: an indigo blue with purple under tones. This colour looks quite complex once on and I really like that. Everytime I put this on, I see something new :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the right is Lush: a kind of pinkish copper with a bit of a taupe undertone. I like my neutrals and this is definitely a colour you could rock out both day and night. At least I do ;) It also serves as a great backdrop for your lids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Tuesday, Lovelies! In honour of Canada Day, I have decided to do some all Canadian business spotlights. This Tuesday, I'd like you to meet <a href="http://firestartercosmetics.storenvy.com/collections/169359-all-products">Firestarter Cosmetics</a> out of Thunder Bay, Ontario.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firestarter Cosmetics makes vegan friendly eye shadows and lip balms. They also have a fun assortment of beauty and bath products as well. They have a popular bath salt mix called Erupting Bath Ammunition!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would like to share some swatches of some eye shadow I bought recently. I was pretty blown away by the colour payoff.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Left to right:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dragonfly: A beautiful shimmer mix of brown, green, and gold. This colour is being discontinued so you'll have to hurry!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Metal Mouth: from the Ignite your Style collection. It is a frosty metallic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Night Sky: A shimmery blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These beautiful colours are very pigmented and cruelty free. I'm especially in love with Dragonfly. Its so beautiful, I like wearing it during the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure if you go to the shop, you'll find something that you'll love to wear! Check out <a href="http://firestartercosmetics.storenvy.com/collections/169359-all-products">Firestarter Cosmetics</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lovelies, I need new panties. Better yet, I want my panties delivered to me in discreet packaging, every month at an affordable rate. And they have to be cute! Too much to ask? Not so, if you are an <a href="http://panties.umcheeky.com/">Unmentionably Cheeky</a> member. :) For $11/month, you get a trio of cheeky panties to cover your own cheeks (not the ones on your face please). But using the code SUMMER at checkout gets you locked in at a rate of $8/month! Sound too good to be true? Check out my cheekies! ;)</span><br />

The panties themselves are also really good quality. They have sizes XS,S,M, and L and will soon have XL and XXL. They do include a size chart so you can accurately choose the cheekies for you. They ship to the US and Canada right now. And if you every need to ask questions or cancel or just chat, they customer service is unbelievably good. Check them out and try a few pairs today.

A Canadian brand! oH Canada! And if they sound familiar, they are also one of the featured brands of BeautyGram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Brandi from KarmaFace also believes in doing good: (from etsy shop)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Get your dose of luxury cosmetics and good karma! $1 from every Karmaface product purchased is donated to YWCA Canada. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">$5.00 from every product in our HELPING HAND collection is donated to the related non-profit. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Not just now, but always and forever.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alley Art, at first glance, looks like a gunmetal grey. It is light, blendable makeup. And is shown without the use of primer on my wrist. I really like that its neutral enough for day wear yet can be made sultry for the night. I don't really wear greys but I tried this for a daytime look and I was surprised at how much I liked it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lovelies, I recently had the chance to try out <a href="http://www.pellebeauty.com/">Pelle Beauty</a> products and regiment. I`d like to share it with you. Big Thanks to Marnie :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.pellebeauty.com/">Pelle Beauty</a> is a beauty care line that takes what we put on our skin very seriously. Our skin absorbs a lot more then we can imagine and so what we apply everyday does matter. Pelle Beauty is vegan friendly and free of parabens and mineral oils.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From left to right </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Citrus Facial Mist: This toner is alcohol free so it does not dry out your skin. Instead, it refreshes and hydrates. It is formulated with plant extracts and essential oils. I used this after cleansing and it was gentle. It didn't burn or tighten my skin after uses. It can also be used as a makeup setter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PelleClean Gentle Cleansing Gel: This cleanser is great for sensitive skin. Its not harsh and I found it really relaxing to use. It is also good at removing any water based cosmetics. There are no sulphates. It is also free of synthetic dyes or fragrances. Just apply to a wet face, massage and rinse with warm water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PelleInfusions Facial Concentrate Balancing: This little guy has double duty; its a facial oil and serum. After cleansing, I left my face a little damp and added a few drops and gave myself a little facial massage. Why use this? It is all the moisturizer you need down to its simplest, purest form. No lotions or emulsifiers needed here! The essential oils and plant extracts will deliver the nourishment your skin needs. This is also great for all skin types.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stellar Multitasking Facial Concentrate: A small bottle, a bunch of uses! There are 5 different uses listed on the product page and a hint that there are still more to be discovered! Stellar is a light weight facial oil concentrate. It is formulated essential fatty acids and antioxidants; meadowfoam, babassu, black current, neroli, sandalwood essential oils and many more. It is a light weight weight moisturizer. It can be used as a makeup remover pre-wash. It makes an excellent makeup primer and facial mask primer. It can also be used to groom and condition your eyebrows. I also was brave and added some to my hair and I am loving the smell. I definitely am glad to have discovered Stellar!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a gander at the texture. Its so squishy, I love it! This hair rinse is bentonite clay-based and infused with essential oils. Its 100% Vegan and cruelty free. No SLS or other artificial preservatives. Its as easy as massaging it into your scalp and hair and rinsing thoroughly. You only need a table spoon or so of product. When I was using it, I realized how non-messy it was to use. I wasn't having goop sliding down the back of my neck or dripping onto my forhead, shoulders, or ears. It only went where I wanted it to go: my scalp and hair. And it doesn't look it, but it smells like citrus. I rinsed out my hair and it felt clean and fresh. I would recommend following up with a leave in conditioner or hair oil. I had great success with this product. You should try it to! Check out <a href="http://mudpuddle.ca/">Mud Puddle</a>!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Wednesday Lovelies! I must tell you something you may already know. I am no nail artist. My unsteady hands lead to smudges and chips. I'm not a great manicurist. So if along comes a product that makes life easier, I am all over it. Enter <a href="http://www.bioseaweedgel.com/">Bio Seaweed Gel</a>: Unity All-In-One Colour Gel. This gel nail polish can be used without the use of a UV lamp. This also already contains your base, top, colour, and nail strengthener. It is formulated without formaldehyde, toluene, DPB or BHA. Bio Seaweed Gel was formulated in the US but is a proudly Canadian company. oH Canada! I was sent some bottles to review and I'd like to share the results with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Voila! This is Electric which is a hot coral colour. This polish is so simply to use! First, I cleaned off my nails with some rubbing alcohol. I applied one thin coat to my nails. Then I walked out to my patio and let the sun cure my nails. I must have waited a minute and they cured pretty fast. I repeated with another coat and cured in the sun. I think it took about 5 minutes when all was said and done. Easy and quick. And my nails did not chip. This is definitely some professional grade polish for at home use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the other colour I was sent, Lucky Charm. To remove, you need to soak your nails in an acetone based nail polish remover for 5-10 minutes. You would do this the same way you can remove glitter polish. Soak a cotton ball with remover, place on nail and wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of your finger to hold in place. I have not removed my polish yet as I'm having too fun a time wearing it and telling people about it! The Unity colours last typically for about 7 days. They do sell a base and top coat with different finishes. These will also help the polish last longer, up to 14 days. Each bottle of Unity Colour retails for $18 on their website, <a href="http://www.bioseaweedgel.com/">Bio Seaweed Gel</a>. This is definitely something an on the go girl can use! Lovelies, take a trip to their website and tell me, what colour would you like to try? They are also having a huge <a href="http://www.bioseaweedgel.com/index.php/news/the-ultimate-bsg-giveaway-round-2/">giveaway</a>!</span><br />
