The first month of the year is coming to a close. There have certainly been some high points and low points over the last several weeks, but my fingers are crossed that the month of February will be better. Since January is almost over, it seemed appropriate to highlight my beauty favourites from the month. These are the products that I found myself reaching for most.
Sometimes, a little escape from reality is a must. Thank goodness there are movies, television shows, and music to rely on in both the good and not-so-good times. Everyone has their own own ways to destress - and entertainment has always been my favourite way to do just that. Here are some of the songs, television shows, and movies that have been making life better.
2026 is not off to a great start. This last month has been a lot. There were hospital stays for my loved ones and someone made a fraudulent charge on my credit card. Who knows what the rest of the year will have in store, but my fingers are crossed that it will start to get better from here on out. In an attempt to keep my head above water, this post is about something that has been making me smile lately. (Because you have to find little pieces of happiness and hold onto them as much as possible.) I found this pair of Christian Siriano earrings back in the fall, but was waiting for the right time to wear them. I realize now there is no "right time" for anything, so it seemed appropriate wear the earrings, even without some sort of special occasion.
KVD Beauty is a brand with an...interesting...history. It used to have all sorts of colourful, bold, and exciting products, but the founder turned out to be horrific. The company was bought out and the brand was revamped. After that, the packaging style shifted as did the colour choices, but it was a wise decision overall. (Not everyone deserves a platform, especially when it is used to spread misinformation and cause harm.) When there was a KVD Beauty blush at my local Winners for $9.99 CDN, it seemed like a good time to test out a newer item from the brand. Keep reading for a full review of the Everlasting Blush.
Eyeshadow palettes come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are teeny tiny and hold only a few colours. Others are oversized and offer a lot of variety. The 35 MI Magic Mirror Artistry Palette from Morphe falls into the latter category. With thirty five eyeshadows to choose from, it is possible to create all sorts of looks. On that note...it is time for 2 looks 1 palette.
Even though my birthday was back in October, there are still a few birthday gifts that are waiting to be reviewed here on the creation of beauty is art. One example is the Prisma Donna Collection Set from Lise Watier. This Canadian beauty brand has all sorts of wonderful products to choose from (a few of them have been reviewed here over the last several years) and sometimes, I am lucky enough to receive items as gifts from my loved ones. Ready to take a closer look at the Prisma Donna Collection Set? See a makeup look featuring some of the Lise Watier products? Keep reading for all of the details.
