New year, new skincare. We’re entering 2022 with one of the coldest starts to winter I’ve seen in years here in Alberta. We’ve been in the deep freeze below minus 25 degrees for a few weeks now. Alberta is extremely dry! No matter how much water I drink I am dehydrated and no matter how much moisturizer or facial mist I use my skin looks like it’s having a rough…

Hey everyone! I hope life is treating you well, or at least better than this time last year. I’m going back to school for music next month, and I’ve been busy preparing so I apologize for being behind absent these past few weeks! I’m still going to be working full time and there’s a good possibility that I’m going to be on the 4am shift permanently soon, which I have…

I feel like my Hydrating Milky Collection haul just went up, but shortly afterwards the Retinol Jasmine Collection arrived. I’ll be honest I’ve barely started transitioning the Milky Collection into my routine, so I haven’t had much of a chance to use the Pixi Retinol Jasmine skintreats. My skin has been pretty high maintenance this year so I’m hesitant to immediately start using these products. I’m planning on transitioning them…

I don’t know about you, but my skin was exceptionally dry this past winter. I was trying to keep the dryness at bay with hydrating serums & masks but the cold always gets the best of me. Back in March I had a bit of a reaction to some skincare I was testing. I’m pretty sure it was a bad combination of BHA and retinol. I woke up with a…

The world is strange right now. We’re all under quarantine, false information about Covid-19 is everywhere, I can’t order a pizza past 8pm and I’m buying things online that I would normally just walk over to the store for. Most of us have stopped wearing makeup altogether during this time, but I am thankfully still employed in an industry that is considered a necessity so I get to go to…

I boldly failed my no-buy only a few weeks into 2020. I was all “new year new me” and going to spend less and use up all my existing skincare before buying more, but as you can see I’m sharing a haul today so clearly that didn’t last. If you also read my 2019 Project Pan Year End Update you’ll remember that I also failed at using most of last…

A few weekends ago I was coming home from a family brunch, and for whatever reason decided to park outside instead of going in through the garage. I was sure glad I did, because I had not one, not two, but THREE packages waiting for me outside my front door. I didn’t think that packages were delivered on weekends — Cue Uncle Vernon saying “no post on Sundays”. I guess…

Hello everyone! It feels like so long since I shared a haul on my blog. It actually hasn’t been that long in reality though, my What’s New In My Makeup Bag was essentially a haul roundup of everything I purchased prior to June. But today I’m sharing a haul from ColourPop and her two sister brands. Fourth Ray beauty is getting just as bad as ColourPop in terms of constant…

I’m finally back on the PR list for Pixi Beauty, which was confirmed when I recently received a lovely package containing their Vitamin C Skintreats line. I don’t think that I was ever actually taken off the list but when I moved and updated my address the packages stopped coming. Maybe it was for the best (I have waaaay too much skincare & makeup right now) but I got in contact…
