These Caramel Passion Flakies are so ridiculously delicious! I received a coupon to try them for free, and I’m so happy I did. I will definitely be purchasing these in the future as a treat! I’ve loved Flakies since I was a kid, but these Caramel flavoured ones are on another level! They are perfect with a coffee. Yum! -

This is an amazing anti-aging night serum! It’s one of the best I’ve ever used. I used this for about a year before moving onto to Tretinoin which is stronger. This serum contains retinol which is a derivative of Vitamin A and is used to help treat acne and to promote collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains vitamins C and E!
I would use this product at night as recommended after cleansing my face. If you’re new to retinol, you might want to use this every other night at first to avoid irritation. It applies very nicely. It’s a very thin liquid that initially feels oily to the touch, but dries down nice and smooth after application. I think this because of the squalane. It was great for me because I have very oily skin. I would apply a moisturizer a few minutes after letting this set in. This product never broke me out or gave me any type of irritation. It never made me look greasy, and it was always lovely to apply!
In terms of how it helped my fine lines, I think this helped prevent them from becoming any worse, and helped them fade ever so slightly. My main concerns are the line in between my eyebrows from frowning and minor crows feet from smiling. I really do think these areas looked better after finishing a bottle of this serum. I would highly recommended this to anyone interested in trying retinol! :)
Remember to wear sunscreen in the day because retinol can make your skin more susceptible to burning!

I think this is probably my favourite summer fragrance! It’s just beautiful! It really evokes the beach and has a slight sunscreen scent along with beautiful florals, salty smell reminiscent of the ocean and a hint of musk. You have to smell this. I think if I had never smelled this and someone held it up to my nose and asked me what it reminded me of, I would say “the beach”.
It’s also very long wearing. I sprayed this, along with some of my other summer perfumes on my pulse points, and this one lasted much longer than the rest. I also sprayed various summer perfumes on a sheet of paper several days ago, and this is the only one I can still smell! Pretty amazing!
It is pricey, so I would recommend getting a sample or trying the rollerball first. But it comes in great big 3.4 oz bottle that I imagine will last me forever. The packaging of the bottle is beautiful and is designed to resemble an apothecary jar.
The following is printed on the bottle:
Originally: Beach Walk
Provenance and Period: Calvi, 1972
Fragrance Description: Sun kidded salty skin
Style Description: Female fragrance
Doesn’t that sound lovely? :) The box has a lovely image of a woman waking along a shoreline with her hair blowing in the wind. I adore this perfume and would definitely repurchase if I ever ran out!

This is my HG cleanser! I’ve been using this for maybe 6 or 7 years now, and I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to a regular cleanser. I use this with Shiseido Facial Cotton, and it cleans every last speck of makeup from my face. If I need to, I’ll use two pads to really make sure I’ve cleaned thoroughly. I love how gentle this is! It never makes my face feel tight or like it desperately needs moisture, like most cleaners do. This even sufficiently removes all my eye makeup if I want to use it for that. It is scentless, and I think it’s well worth the money. I know many other brands have come out with more affordable micellar water, but I fear nothing will be as good as this! The bottle is gigantic and lasts me a long time, and I use it morning and night! Love love love! -

use this as a regular lip balm, any time of day. I’m a lip balm addict! My lips can’t survive without something on them every few hours. They’ll become so dry, flaky and ugly. This balm works great at keeping them soft and smooth! I love the amount of product it comes with at 0.7 oz/20 grams. It last a long time! It smells nice too. I wish Sephora carried some of the other scents! -

I have a light-medium skin tone, and this self tanner gives me the perfect light tan! I love the easiness of application with the mousse formula. I just apply a pump on each body part, and rub it in using circular motions. It dries quite quickly, so it's important to rub it around immediately! Because it dries quite quick, there's no need to sit around naked all day! I simply apply it, then wait about 10 minutes before getting dressed. There is no colour transfer! It has a typical self tanning smell that I happen to like! I love this self tanning product and my new favourite is their "Self Tan Extra Dark" which gets me really dark! -
