Veriphy Skincare Routine - Power Trip Serum, Hit or Mist Toner, and Self Absorbed Moisturizer

Time for a skincare review - it's been a hot minute since I've done a full skincare review, but you know I like to take my time and try all of the products before sharing my thoughts, so you may have seen some of these show up in other posts before! 

These products were received as PR products

I was so excited when Veriphy offered to send me some products to try and the brand is described as "clean, vegan science backed skincare" so I had a feeling their products would be great! Their packaging is so luxe - glass bottles, gold accents and even great boxes! (They've actually updated their packaging this past year, and it is all green and nice and sleek!) 

Monthly Beauty Favourites ~ October 2023

Here's a look at what I was loving in October:

The Panoxyl, Biotherm and Veriphy were received as PR samples 

Last year I started just picking any number of products I'm loving, instead of trying to find 5 each month (which I did previously!) So, whatever number of products I'm loving, that's what I will be sharing. 

My Nighttime Skincare Routine

This is a follow-up to last week's Morning Skincare Routine - if you haven't seen this already, make sure you check it out! I think it's overdue to share my updated routine, so I hope you enjoy these! 

The Skoah was received as part of the Ambassador program, the Estee Lauder and Paula's Choice were received as PR samples

While my daytime routine is quite simplified, I do tend to have my nighttime routine a little more in depth - I like to take my time going through the steps and making sure my skin is taken care of! 

My Morning Skincare Routine

I don't often feel like blog posts are overdue, since I can basically write anything at anytime, but I haven't written an updated routine since 2016! And, while this isn't going to change *much* since then, it has gotten a little more specific to my skin and finding what works best for me! 

The Skoah product was received as part of the Ambassador program, the FabYou was received as a PR sample - this post contains affiliate links

I like to keep my morning routine quite simple and gentle - I'm up quite earlier and don't have a ton of time in the mornings, so I like quick and effective products! 

Five on Friday - March 5, 2021 ~ February Scratch Monthly Mani Kit, Smash + Tess Lauren Romper, Rose Water Mist, Prairie Karma Candle, and Value Village Thrift Haul!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week! 

ONE 

I purchased everything in this post

I just got my January 2021 Scratch Monthly Mani Kit and as always, it is super cute! This is an easy, affordable subscription that features nail wraps from GoScrachIt that are exclusive to the kit each month and designed by NinaNailedIt!

September 2020 - Monthly Favourites!

Here are the top 5 products I've been loving this month:

Another month of really great products - there was a great mix of everything this month: nails, skincare and makeup! 

July 2020 - Monthly Favourites!

Here are the top 5 products that I've been loving this month:

The John Masters lotion was received as a PR sample - this post contains affiliate links

This month is clearly really skincare heavy with only one makeup item - I've said it multiple times, I'm just not wearing as much makeup right now so it makes sense that my favourites are mainly skincare (and even more specifically SPFs because that's what I've been using or trying the most of right now! 

Tropical Fruit Skincare Products for Summer

I know fruity products have been around for a while, but I have been seeing so many tropical fruit inspired products released lately that I can't keep up with them all! And, I personally love them all - they are so perfect for Summertime! 

The body mist, moisturizer, and hand cream were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

So, since I have been loving the fruity products so much, I thought I would round up a few of the fruity skincare products that I've gotten lately (some aren't the newest releases since those always  and share my thoughts on them! 

Fresh, Fun Products for Spring!

It sounds so cliche; but, the word I always associate with Spring is "fresh". New growth and new beginnings - everything about the season just always feels fresh and new. You know what I mean, right?! That fresh scent of Spring is my favourite! 

The Reversa, Calgon, Vichy were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

Personally, Calgary is a little slow to get on the fresh train - we had snow this whole past weekend and it's been pretty cold! I'm waiting for that slow warm up, so I can start to see green grass and my garden grow!

March 2020 What I Bought - Monthly Haul!

Happy haul day everyone! Early this year, I set one of my 2020 goals to be actually sticking to my $100 a month Beauty Budget - are you ready to see if I was able to do this?!? 

I always love my Monthly Haul posts to share with you everything I picked up (since I can't review everything I buy)! I also am trying to hold myself a little more accountable to buying products that I really want and will actually use!

I purchased everything in this post

Facebook Auction Find ~ $10.00 CAN. This was a brand new mist I picked up on an auction and this was a product that has been huge on my to-try list! This is a full sized product that is regular $37, so I was pretty excited to pick it up! 

December 2019 - Monthly Favourites!

Here are my Favourite Products I have been loving this month:

The mist was received in PR - this post contains affiliate links

Clearly this month is a little heavy on the glitter eye shadows - I tried so many in November and December, and there was so many that I really loved that I couldn't help but include more than one! 

My Fall Transition Skincare Products

I always switch up my skincare products for each season - I maintain the same basic routine and steps; but, my combination skin can lead a little more dry in the Fall evenings and often is still a little oily during the day. 

Some products were received from PR - this post contains affiliate links

On top of my skin's fluctuation, Calgary's weather is crazy in the Fall too - we can jump over 20 degrees in a day with cold evenings as well as chinook warmings. So, it can throw my skin in to a bit of a tailspin, so it's nice to have some solid products in the routine for the craziness! 

Summer 2019 FabFitFun - Lifestyle Subscription Unboxing

It's no secret here that I love subscription boxes - it's actually the reason that I started See The World in PINK. I was so excited when FabFitFun announced that they were shipping to Canada in Summer 2014 and I ordered the first box immediately and kept my subscription for a full two years! 

Purchased by me - this post contains affiliate links

FabFitFun is a quarterly lifestyle subscription box full of fabulous finds in beauty, wellness, fashion, and fitness － hand-picked by the FabFitFun team! Each box will contain $200 or more in retail value. 

July 2018 - Monthly Favorites!

Here is a look at the 5 products I have been loving this month:

Mount Lai De-Puffing Jade Facial Roller Mini Size ~ $30.00 CAN (there is a full size roller for $50.00 CAN). A face roller that is built to have a cooling, soothing effect on the skin, promote drainage from the face, and reduce facial tension.

I am officially obsessed with facial rolling - I do it most nights when I apply my serum or sometimes a mask. I feel like these just popped up and everyone was talking about them, so I had to give it a try. I know the benefits of a facial massage; but, am a little lazy, so this makes it so much easier! 

Skincare Sunday - Divine Essence Organic Labrador Tea Floral Water Mist Review

Happy Skincare Sunday! My skin loves floral water mists; but, I generally use a rose mist, so I was excited to try a labrador tea floral mist for something different! 

Divine Essence is a Canadian company whose mission is "provide a scientifically proven and natural alternative to traditional health and wellbeing remedies by offering consumers an extensive line of premium quality organic essential oils and aromatic products." They also are committed to sustainable trade and development and are certified by Health Canada. Divine Essence focus on your overall well-being! (I love what they stand for - go awesome Canadian brands!)

Beauty Packing Essentials - What's In My Maternity Hospital Bag

This isn't my typical post, but I'm officially over 37 weeks pregnant, so I could have this baby at any point in time! It was time to pack my hospital bag (and most importantly, my beauty essentials for a night or two at the hospital - I tried to pack my beauty bag like I was traveling for a night or two!)

I'm trying to keep my Maternity Hospital Bag as natural and as simple as possible! Everything in here needs to be quick and easy to use because I will be exhausted and will probably not have a lot of time to myself! 

March 2017 - Monthly Favorites!

Here is a look at my 5 Favorite goodies that I was loving in March! 

Beauty Clinic - Mediheal Dress Code "Blue" Mask ~ $3.00. Herb, Aqua care, (Anti-wrinkle function). Herb aqua solution- With this Mediheal Mask Dress Code, Experience a beauty beyond compare during intensive skin care and complete all skin care steps with mask dress's dignity. Uses a highly concentrated formulation of natural materials, helps your unbalanced skin become healthier by making it resistant to stress and restoring skin balance.

Pixi Beauty - Mini Haul, First Impressions and Thoughts!!!

I was really excited last month when I found out last month that Pixi Beauty was available in Canada - exclusively sold at Shopper's Drug Mart!

Pixi Beauty was created by Petra Strand - who has over 20 years experience as a makeup artist and product developer. All Pixi products are infused with botanicals and beneficial ingredients that are meant to create a natural, radiant, "just had a good night's sleep look"! 


I went to Shopper's Drug Mart right away and picked up a few products from the brand to test out! 

Pixi Beauty offers a huge range of products - skincare to makeup, eyeshadow to masks! I wanted to mainly try products I have not yet tried before, with the exception of the Glow Tonic (which I actually picked up previously while shopping in the US!)

January 2017 - What I Bought This Month!

Hi everyone - hope you guys are okay with seeing one more end of the month wrap-up post around here! 

I love seeing people's monthly hauls or shopping lists and I wanted to join in for 2 reasons:
1. I don't always share everything that I'm purchasing and some of it gets lost and doesn't pop up here until my empties time, which could be a long ways away! It's a great way to keep track of what I'm buying! 
2. Also, while I'm not planning a no-buy or anything, I think this will help keep me in check with my beauty spending this year! When the baby comes in May, my plan is to only spend about $100 per month on beauty products, including subscriptions! 

I will only include products I have spent money on - gifts, pr samples, and freebies are always shared on posts like my Five on Friday posts! 

ColourPop Order ~ $89.68. I couldn't resist trying some of the new ColourPop pressed powder single shadows - I pretty much watched KathleenLights video and selected most of here favorites! This order just got here yesterday and I will be digging in soon and sharing a big review with you guys! I won't list all the shadows now, but I also picked up the Ultra Satin Lip in "Panda" because it looks gorgeous! Each shadow is $5 (1 was free) and the lippie was $6. They also offered free shipping over $50 which is always good! 

November 2016 - Monthly Favourites!

Wrapping up November with a look at the 5 products I have been loving this month! 

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette ~ $48.00. The limited-edition Eye Palette includes a Champagne Pop-inspired shade for the eyes, Champagne Toast—created by Jaclyn Hill. This versatile palette of lustrous and matte shades allows you to enhance the eyes with layers of light and color. 

I don't even know if I should actually include this because it was discontinued! There was a lot of drama around this product when it was released in June and the concern was over the quality of the eyeshadow. I actually am really pleased with the quality of these shadows and I have reached for the palette for every eye look I have done in November! Cordial is the perfect pink purple brown transition shade, Champagne Toast is a stunning lid shade and Chardonnay is great for brow highlight and the inner corner! The other 2 are great outer corner shades and I just think the colours are perfect for this time of year!
