Lancôme | Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer: Review and Swatches
For years I'd struggled with finding a foundation that worked for me but when I tried the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear 24H Foundation (reviewed here), I instantly fell in love. To this day, it is still a holy grail of mine but interestingly, I was not a fan of the Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Concealer (reviewed here), which I found way too viscous and sticky. So naturally, I was pretty excited to hear that Lancôme is adding another concealer to the Teint Idole Ultra Wear family. Available in 20 shades and promising lightweight, full-coverage, the new Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer (C$44 for 13 ml) is already getting a lot of buzz. So is this new Teint Idole concealer as amazing as its foundation counterpart? Read my review to find out......

Bliss | *NEW* Skincare Collection: Review
A number of years back, Bliss was one of my go-to brands for body care products and I'd even visited one of their iconic spas when I was in New York. However, it felt like the brand fell off the radar for a while, especially on the Canadian market so I was very glad to learn that it's now available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart nationwide (in Canada) with a new skincare range. Housed in bright, minimalist packaging, the clean, cruelty-free product range is geared towards a younger clientele looking for effective yet affordable skincare. I wanted to share with you a closer look at the collection today. To read my reviews of a few key products, click......
