Live Clean - Exotic Nectar Argan Oil Leave In Spray






As a woman I'm always on the hunt for new hair products to create the beautiful mane we all desire.
The Live Clean Argan Oil Leave In Spray is a leave in conditioning treatment that is supposed to lock in moisture and provide long term conditioning, shine and UV protection.
I picked this up for $5.99 CAD at my local Shopper's Drug Mart. I, like all others heard the amazing benefits of Argan Oil. Seeing how cheap this was I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
Grape seed & olive oil are listed in the ingredients as well so I had high hopes for this. Let me start off by saying if you are sensitive to smells, this might not be your cup of tea. It's reminiscent of rotting fish, quite honestly it makes me cringe every time I use it. 
I've almost used this up in a couple of months and have noticed minimal difference in my hair. The change in softness is a result of the Coconut oil I've started using as a deep conditioning treatment and my hair does not look any more shiny after using the Live Clean spray. If this is used on dry hair it doesn't comb out thoroughly leaving a weird film on the hair that makes your hair look greasy.
I do however like to use this as a detangler, for that purpose it works wonderfully!
I have very fine hair so when I get out of the shower its like tangle town and creates quite a chore when it comes to try and brush them out.
After I shower I spray this all over my hair and then comb it out while it's damp, the comb glides effortlessly through the hair making detangling a dream come true.
I wouldn't buy it again as a leave in conditioner spray but I would buy it as a detangler as it's nice and affordable.
 Maybe Live Clean should re brand this as a detangler spray?

What are your favorite Live Clean products?

H&M - Online now in Canada!

H&M








I have exciting news everyone!
You can now shop online through H&M's Canadian website
I've honestly been waiting for this moment for years now. Canada seems to always get shafted in the online world, either websites don't ship to us (Ulta, I'm looking at you) or shipping charges are out of this world (there are many guilty parties for this one.) 
To celebrate this occasion I created my winter H&M wish list. 
H&M is one of my favorite stores and as soon as I found out they now offer online shopping for Canada the first thing I did was hop on the website to have a little gander.

I linked the site & all items above if any other fellow Canadians would like to peruse it.

Long Cardigan - You can never go wrong with cardigans, especially over sized ones. I like the mossy/olive green colour of this, I think it will be perfect for fall or a warmer winter day. I have a very similar one also from H&M in Gray but it doesn't have pockets.

Ankle Boots - I'm the type of person who never really buys shoes, hence why they're on my list. Ankle boots are always on trend and look good with almost anything you pair them with.

Cable Knit Hat - We all need winter accessories and this was just too cute to not put on my wish list. I'm a total beanie fiend. I would much rather wear cute hats than headbands.

Poncho - I've never owned a poncho and I think this would be a fabulous staple piece for Fall & Winter that you could dress up or down and still look put together.

Satin Blouse - Satin is a beautiful looking fabric and this burgundy wine colour is perfect for the holidays season.

Turtleneck Jumper - I definitely don't own enough thick winter clothes. Living in Alberta where our winters are minus -40 degrees Celsius these are a must.

Polo Neck Jumper - I added this thinking it would be a good sweater but now looking at it closer this would be much more like a dress on me as I'm quite short. Either way it would be a good winter dress if layered over some tights with high boots.

Wool Coat -  A nice warm coat that will be keep me cozy in these harsh winters. I only have one other nice winter coat which is a pea coat but it's quite old so I think it's high time I purchased a new one.

Warm Lined Chelsea Boots -  I'm in desperate need of new boots seeing as my dog chewed holes in the ones I bought last year. *sigh* The life of a dog owner. These wouldn't be ideal for the heavy snowfall days but for days where there isn't heaps of snow on the ground they would be okay as they are lined on the inside.

The Lipstick Tag




1. How many lipsticks do you own?
I included all my lip products in this and I had 65....oops. I might have a light obsession. 

2. What was the first lipstick you owned?
My first lipstick was either Enchantress by COVERGIRL which is a shimmery barbie pink, very bright or Hot Passion, also by COVERGIRL which is a bold blue toned red. I think I might have picked these up at the same time actually but I was in about grade eleven when I purchased these. I was a little late to the makeup party.

3. What is your favourite lipstick brand?
I love to try new lip products, be it a lipstick, liquid lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss so on and so forth. I don't have a favorite brand so I will give you the brands I have the most products from for both high end and low end. MAC lipsticks are a large portion of my collection, I wouldn't say MAC is super luxurious but they aren't exactly cheap either. The Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipsticks by Rimmel are my most purchased drugstore lipsticks and for good reason. These are $6.99 CAD and are amazing! If you've never had one I would highly suggest purchasing one.

4. What is your most worn lipstick?
This is going to sound so OCD, but because I own so many lipsticks I go through a rotation to try and get use out of all of them. It irks me when people have mountains of products and 90% of them sit there unused for years. What is the point of having so much if you can't even use it? 

5. What is your favourite finish?
Matte, hands down. I'd say 95% of my lipsticks are matte or semi-matte.

6. What was the last lipstick you bought? 
font-family: inherit;">The last lipstick I purchased was a Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade Outlaw, a very bold red. If you hadn't noticed yet I really love reds. ♥

7. How many lip products do you currently have in your bag? 
Just one... wait just one? You guys this is a miracle I never have only one product in my bag and believe it or not it's not a lipstick of any sorts it's my holy grail lip balm the Blistex Lip Medex.

8. What is your favourite red lip colour?
This is not an easy one for me to answer. I'd say my favorite red that I own is MAC's Russian Red. It's stunning, it reminds me of an old classic Hollywood lip. Absolutely love this. A red I'm coveting is Jeffree Stars Velour liquid lipstick in the shade "Red Rum" *heart eyes*

9. How do you store your lipsticks?
They are stored in a three drawer bin. They actually all fit in one drawer though.  

10. Which lipsticks are you currently lusting after?
I'm lusting after various shades of the Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks, I only own one but his colors and the formula are perfect. Even though I've heard so many mixed reviews I would like to try Candy K by Kylie Cosmetics.


Let me know if you do this tag and drop it down below because I'd love to read them!

Beauty Bay - Christmas List

Beauty Bay


Hello loves!
Beauty Bay has a great contest going on for affiliates at the moment!

To enter you had to either create a post about their "All Made Up Bags" which are curated collections by Beauty Bay. The other way to enter was to create your ultimate Christmas Wish List from the Christmas Shop.

I opted to create a wish list because you know Christmas is coming, this could come in handy when your family starts asking you what you want, I really enjoy doing posts like these as well as reading others. I'm a tad snoopy and like to see what other people are coveting, just me?

Here's what I'm hoping to receive under the tree this year;

Spectrum Glam Clam - You guys, look at how cute this is! I've never owned anything from Spectrum but that packaging is too cute to resist. I love the fun & bright colors! I've not heard much about the quality but at a pricey $92.40 CAD I would hope they are of a high standard.

Coloured Raine Matte Liquid Lip Paint : I've heard nothing but good things about the Coloured Raine liquid lipsticks. Being the lip product junkie that I am of course these would be on the list. I'd love to have one in the shade "Cherry Blossom" It's almost like a pink burgundy lip.


Viseart Palette : Another cheeky one as it's more on the pricey side. Everyone and their mother raves about the Viseart palettes. This one is the one I'd pick up if I were to splurge as I love my neutrals. I'm quite drawn to the third row of shades.

Jeffree Star Beauty Killer: I'm trying to win this on an Instagram giveaway right now, keep your fingers crossed for me =) I know I just said how I love my neutrals but we could all use a little color now and again. The pigmentation I've seen from this in tutorials & swatches is gorgeous which is only making me want it more.

Nugg Face Masks: I think these would make a great stocking stuffer! I've never tried the Nugg face masks but they've been hyped up from the posts I've read. At only $20 CAD for four they won't break the bank either.

Manny MUA Palette: I seem to have a theme in this wishlist with lip products and eye shadow palettes, oops. For nine shades this is very pricey for Canadians like me but my god the color scheme is to die for. That bottom cranberry shade is gorgeous! I've been using cranberry shades a lot in my crease lately.

Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick: Last but not least another Jeffree Star product, I do already own one of these in the shade "Blow Pony" but after seeing that "Androgyny" is in stock on Beauty Bay I might just end up purchasing it for myself. I can still treat myself at Christmas right? I'm a tad choked that these sell for $23.10 CAD on Beauty Bay as I ended up paying $40 after the exchange rate & shipping through Jeffree's website.

Go check out the Beauty Bay Christmas Shop for more products!
Let me know what you guys are lusting after this Christmas
