Favourite Summer PR Samples

I’ve been loving many beautiful PR samples that I would like to share with you. I don’t share samples that I haven’t tried or that I don’t love. I really like to feature samples that I highly recommend and that I’ve been using. So here are a few Summer PR Samples.

AVON Anew Hydra Fusion Gel Cream & Anew Hydra Fusion Replenishing Serum. The gel cream is $35.00 and the Hydra Fusion Serum is $45.00. This new line is really amazing and very light and hydrating. I really love this line and it’s launching this September.

Here I have a few pieces from CHANEL’S Fall\Winter Collection called APOTHEOSIS. It is a matte collection and it is breathtaking! To view the entire collection check out my blog post. CHANEL’s Fall/Winter 2018 Collection APOTHEOSIS, LE MAT DE CHANEL If you would like to see the makeup look that I created with these samples have a look here. CHANEL Fall/Winter 2018 Collection Makeup Look and Swatches!

New Make Up For Ever New Matte Velvet Skin! I’m so grateful that I received such a beautiful PR box! I have a video and blog post coming soon on this incredible foundation. I’m in love with Make Up For Ever. This new foundation is available in 40 shades. It’s a Flexi-fit formula that is has full coverage. It is lightweight & oil free. It moves with the skin and never cakes, flakes or fades. It is $48.00 and sold exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.ca.

Next is Zoella Beauty. I really love Zoella products. I’m a huge fan. This collection is super fresh. I love the packaging as well. A huge thank you to Farleyco Beauty for the Zoella products. You can find the products here. ZOELLA BEAUTY PRODUCTS.

I LOVE vegan greens + O by Genuine Health. It is all natural, non-GMO and formulated to help with more energy, sleep better, move better and love your gut. #LOVEHOWYOUFEEL

It makes me really happy when I receive healthy products like this. This powder of mixed greens + O is delicious. I love this because I add it in my smoothies and in my chia pudding. So healthy for the body. It really gives me energy and keeps me going through the day. Thank you to the Publicist Group for the lovely sample. It’s my absolute fave! The chia seeds are white Prana Chia seeds. Do you like chia seeds? I love them so much. I like the texture when it’s a pudding. Would you like a recipe for this pudding? Let me know in the comments If you are interested.

This summer I’ve been using Avon Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum and Avon True colour Love at 1st Lash Mascara. Safe for contact lens wearers and Ophthalmologist-tested. The Serum is $60.00 for 3ml. The mascara is infused with nutrients and the formula has a unique blend of lycopene, olive oil and vitamin E. It is also Paraben and sulphate free. The Mascara is 9ml $12.00. I’m starting to see results and I’ve been using this duo for 2 weeks.

I kindly received the VICHY LIFTACTIV UV duo by Chick Advisor. Vichy is an incredible skincare line. I really like this duo because the face cream has SPF. I use this duo during the day. I use very little because the formula for the LIFTACTIVE UV face cream melts like silk on the skin. This duo helps my skin with hydration and my face and neck feel so soft after using it. I’ve tried two other Vichy products and the formula is fantastic!

I love my Hellmann’s! I love making creamy potato, macaroni and crab salad. I use it for deviled eggs and salad dressings. My girls love tuna sandwiches and I also spread it on fish, chicken and meat sandwiches. I really love the Avocado oil with a hint of lime. It’s not overpowering with lime and it is so smooth, delicious and creamy. Mouth watering! I received this sample to review from Chick Advisor. LOVE IT!

Perfect for kids. This Avon Collection is super cute but also smells so good and is paraben and sulphate free. My girls really loved the texture of the Soapy Slime. They also love the fun foam and the Hocus Pocus Lotion is very hydrating, smells incredible and a little goes a long way.

If you want your complexion to GLOW try this collection! Glittery and shiny eyeshadows and beautiful highlighters. I’ve been loving these so much this summer. Pixi by Petra has lovely products and I’m so grateful that I received these samples. The highlighters are on my summer favourites blog post and video. Have a look if you like.

I LOVE THESE THINGS! SUMMER FAVOURITES

Here is the other Vichy duo that I received via Influenster. I love these two! Total hydration and light on the skin. Not greasy and very soothing.

Avon came out with these face masks and I love them so much. I really need to remind my self to do more masks. Sometimes I get so busy I forget. But I really love these. They rejuvinate my skin so much.

My family has been really loving the Avon Pure essential oils. These oils are single oils and 100% pure. They are only meant to be used for the diffuser. I love the Sweet Dreams Blend. It has Lavender and Roman Chamomile. It really helps with sleep and relaxation. The Happiness Blend is really revitalizing and it has grapefruit, lemon and sweet orange. I’m really excited for these oils and so glad I have them. Happiness Blend 10ml $15.00. Sweet Dreams Blend 10ml $22.00.

COLAB Paradise is amazing dry shampoo. I love it and thank you to Farleyco Beauty for the lovely sample. It’s my favourite scent. I wonder if they have a coconut one. Need to find that out. Love using COLAB not only for when my hair is oily but also to freshen up and give volume.

I actually won this book. It’s not a PR sample. I wanted to mention it because I’m enjoying it so much. I would like to finish this book by the end of the month. I like to set deadlines do you? It helps me complete things on time. Thanks to Simon & Schuster for this ARC and for the cute mug. I use it everyday.

I’ve also received Pro-Voke Liquid Blond. I really love my blond hair better when I use these two. It makes my hair warmer and golden. It makes my blond hair nice and shiny. I use this once or twice a week.

The Avon True Color Lip Glow Lip Gloss is my favourite summer gloss. I’ve been loving the colour light burst with the Make Up For Ever New Artist Pencil in the colour 602 completely sepia. Perfect lip duo! The Avon Lip gloss is 8ml for $10.00. The Artist pencils are available at Sephora and Sephora.ca.

Thank you to all the beautiful PR samples. I’m truly grateful for everything.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post.

FALL TRENDS! All You Need For Autumn! AVON MAKEUP AND STYLE

I’m very excited for Autumn weather and all things cozy. Are you? My favourite time of the year is Fall with beautiful burnt dark colours and cozy things. I have a pinterest collection called FALL IN LOVE if you want to have a look. I’m madly in love with everything cozy, beautiful rich colours of dark purple and mauve, dark greens and burnt orange, yellow and red. I love the change of colours and the cool weather. I love when when all this Autumnal brilliance reflects my clothing and jewelry pieces. I have a few to show you by AVON CANADA.

I’m excited to share many AVON pieces today. I was kindly sent these pieces for review but they don’t need reviewing. Honestly they just need to be featured.

First I’m going to introduce the incredible #MyAvonABOX

Fall Beauty Trend: DIVINE WINE COLLECTION

This collection includes 5 full-size Beauty Favourites:

Avon True Color Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye LIner in Sugar plum, Avon true Color Lipstick in VAMP, Big & Daring Volume Mascara in Black, Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad in ROMANTIC MAUVES and Avon True Color Pro+ Nail Enamel in Midnight Plum. This collection is available now through an avon sales representative, or online at http://www.avon.ca. The A BOX is $49.00.

I really love cozy sweaters and pretty blouses in Fall but I also like stylish ones and classic pieces. Especially for work and going out. These two AVON tops are truly stylish and very pretty. They fit really nicely and I love the feel of the material.

The sweater is a gorgeous olive green and it has two pleats which give the material a V line at the bottom. The material is soft and has a bounce/stretchy feel to it. At the tip of the V line the top hugs the hips which I love. I really adore the neckline and how it’s rounded. I’m all about lines and curvature and this top has it all. I really like how I can accent this piece with a long beautiful layered Tassel Necklace. The sleeves are very unique as well. from the wrist to the elbow it’s fitted and then loosens.

The Mayan Beauty Layered Tassel Necklace has Multiple rows of faceted beads which create a unique layered look. 52 cm L with 9cm extender $29.00.

The white Lace-Up Flutter Sleeve blouse flows beautifully and the material is nice and light. The sleeves are absolutely lovely and flow. It is 66cm in length and is $29.00.

I also love this natural beauty from the Leaf me Breathless Collection. It’s a hand-harvested leaf pendant dipped in metal. 71 cm L with 9 cm extender. This is also available in gold. This collection also has stunning earrings. $19.00.

In the following picture I’m wearing the white stunning blouse, the leaf pendant and eye makeup is from #MyAvonABox but the lipstick is the Avon True Colour Bold Lipstick in the colour Power Plum and the lip liner is the Avon True Colour Glimmersticks Lip Liner in Perfect Plum. I’m also wearing Avon True Color Foundation which I love and I must add the the GLIMMERSTICK eyeliners and lipliners are FANTASTIC! Totally stunning and my absolutely favourite!

I’m a huge fan of organizing and what better way then to do it with Style! This lovely Beauty Tool Organizer is stylish and keeps my vanity nice and clean. I love not having to look for my lip gloss, liner or my tweezers. I now know exactly where they are at all times. I love the bold bright HOT pink colour. Do you? This is a Flexible, soft plastic that keeps my tools standing upright and is easy to reach. It has a removable base for easy cleaning. It is available right now through an avon representative or online at http://www.avon.ca. This piece costs $15.00.

Trends come and go but what I love most about Autumn is that some things are always hot and awesome. You can never go wrong with a good makeup bag, a quick and easy brush cleaner sponge, a kick ass mascara, a bold lipstick and an everyday stunning blush.

Makeup Bags are vital and important to me. I love a good transparent one for my makeup and a solid one for more personal items. AVON has an amazing 2-Piece set. One is Large case that is transparent PVC with black microfibre base and a Medium case with black microfibre metal zippers closure on both. The large case is 27cm Lx 20 cm H and the medium case is 20cm L x 7 cm H. $26.00.

This Brush Cleaner in a tin removes powder pigments from your brush in between washes. You just sweep your brush over the dry sponge until pigment is removed and move on to a new shade. This is $12.00.

At First Blush!

This is absolutely a stunning blush and beautiful for the lips as well. Get a Popped yet flushed natural look easily with layers of radiant colour. Cream Blush melts in Blends like a second skin. Avon True Colour Be Blushed Cheek Colour Hint of creamy colour for lips and cheeks! $10.00.

GO FOR THE BOLD!

I love a good bold lip and I love to use a lipliner as a base which helps the product last longer.

In this makeup look I used AVON Eyelid Primer. I used my favourite eyebrow pencil the AVON TRUE Brow Definer in the colour BRUNETTE. I topped my eyebrows with Avon eyebrow gel to keep my hairs under control. I covered my lips fully with the delicious Glimmersticks Lip Liner by AVON in the colour PERFECT PLUM. I then applied Avon True Color Bold Lipstick in the colour POWER PLUM. Avon True colour Bold Lipsticks cost $10.00 and the Avon True Colour Glimmersticks Lip Liner is $9.00. I used Avon True Color Super Extend Precise Liquid Pen. It has an Ultra think felt tip for the finest liquid line. 1 ml for $12.00. I also used BIG and DARING Volume Mascara in Black.

The products in this post don’t need a review. They are all wonderful. The lip liners are creamy, smooth and pigmented. The eyeliner is soft and I love the way the glimmersticks shine. They have a little glitter but not heavy and they pick up the light so beautifully. Like little diamonds. The lipsticks are stunning and bold. They are long lasting and feel beautiful on the lips. The mascara is incredible! I absolutely love the wand and the formula is perfect. I just love absolutely everything. The blush stick is soft and lovely on the skin and the jewelry and tops are beautiful! I love each and every piece. Amazing quality and stunning pieces! I think I’ve said beautiful and stunning so many times but believe me they are!

I hope you enjoyed this post, I would love to hear your thoughts about the makeup looks and fashion pieces. What colours do you like for fall? I would love to know.

Thank you so much to AVON Canada for the incredible pieces. I’m truly grateful.

Beautiful Cargo Cosmetics! I WON!

I kindly won a giveaway on IG by CARGO Cosmetics along side LeSportSac. I’m truly grateful. I’ve never tried Cargo Cosmetics or ever owned anything by LeSportSac so I’m sooo excited to share my experience with you. WOo HOO!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BV3B7Zwj3aw/?taken-by=bestdayblogger

I kindly received the palette “You Had Me at Aloha” and I’m absolutely in love with this palette. The colours are so pretty! Look at them all!

Luau – aubergine (shimmer)

Features and Benefits:

Paraben free formulas.

I really love this eyeshadow palette. It is so stunning! The pigmentation is really lovely and it blends so nicely. I absolutely love it!

I also received SWIMMABLES Longwear Matte Liquid Lipsticks

I missed CAPE TOWN in the swatches above because I had it in my purse so that’s why I took a photo on its own but I love all the colours and the formula is very long wearing and waterproof. It will not budge. The formula is light and dries fast. It’s not heavy at all, the downfall is that It is sticky/tacky a little when I press my lips together. Matte lip formulas are very tricky. I was just saying on IG stories the other day that the new Maybelline Super Stay Matte INK formula is also sticky. So unfortunate because I’m in love with these colours but that sticky tacky feeling is still there and it is so annoying to me. Look at how beautiful cape town colour is! Dreamy! I might try adding lip primer and see how it goes. Also I’m going to try with a lip gloss on top and see how that goes as well because I love the colours so much.

I also kindly received the beautiful SWIMMABLES eyeshadow sticks. These are really lovely smooth and creamy. I love these eyeshadow sticks so much because they are super easy to put on, the formula goes on evenly, very pigmented, blends nicely and they are super long lasting.

Last I’m sharing with you my favourite mascara for this summer. It is INCREDIBLE! The Dare to Flair Mascara is so lovely and I love the curvature of the wand. This wand fits perfect in the eye area and it grabs all the hairs. I’m so happy I won this mascara. It doesn’t come off and smudge on my eyelids with this summer heat. Even some waterproof mascaras come off on my eyelids and it is so annoying. This mascara and top coat is my favourite summer go-to eyelash product. I absolutely love it!

Here is the makeup look that I created with CARGO Cosmetics.

I used the “You had me at aloha” eyeshadow palette. In the crease I used “Luau“, on the eyelid I used the colour “shell” and “Shaka“, on the brow bone I used a little of “Waikiki” and under the eye I used the beautiful “Kai“. I also used the black eyeliner that comes with the eyeshadow palette on my waterline. I used the Dare to Flair Mascara and the waterproof mascara top coat. On my lips I have two colours. I added the Sorento matte liquid lipstick and let it dry and then added the Montalk matte liquid lipstick on top.

What do you think of this makeup look? Would love to know.

Here are the three beautiful bags from LeSportSac. The quality is incredible! The material is light and perfect for summer and yet the material, handles and zippers are so strong. I’m so impressed by the quality of the bags. I love the design as well. Super fun and cute.

Thank you so much to CARGO Cosmetics for the beautiful makeup. Thank you so much to LeSportSac for the beautiful set of bags. I’m truly grateful that I won. Thanks so much! I love everything!
