BURT'S BEES Gives Us Natural Foundation That Wears Like The Expensive Ones!
Burt’s Bees Goodness Glows Foundation is perfect for those looking for a natural makeup alternative. This one is 98.9% natural and formulated with responsibly sourced Meadowfoam Seed Oil, known for its moisturizing benefits
This mineral foundation formula is full coverage and is said to nourish the skin through the day. With 18 colours in the collection, from 1005 PORCELAIN (the fairest shade) to 1062 COCOA (the darkest shade), it covers a wide range of skin tones, although I still found it challenging to match myself.
For reference, I’m light-medium with yellow undertones and ended up wearing 1020 ALMOND BEIGE, a shade that is said to be light-medium with cool undertones. (I found it to have more neutral undertones.)
It wore beautifully all day and blended well with both a brush and makeup sponge. I was testing the Fenty Beauty Hydrating Foundation (where I’m shade 230) before the Burt’s Bees one, and I have to say they felt comparable at the end of the day. My combination skin was hydrated and the makeup was still in place at 11:30 at night.
For C$21, This is a great drugstore foundation that you need to check out, especially if natural makeup is your thing!

How To Wear Sweatpants (and not look like you just rolled out of bed)
Billie Eilish has made sweatpants the GO-TO piece of clothing that I just can’t get enough of. Sweatpants are not only ridiculously comfortable, but they have the potential of looking really cool and laid back when styled properly.
My tip for styling joggers - add at least one luxe element.
It can be jewelry, a designer handbag, or a good shoe. Basically whatever you want, but just make sure it’s luxe. It’ll be the easiest way of elevating sweats and making them look more grown-up. Otherwise, you run the risk of either looking too young, or worst yet, like you just rolled out of bed, and who wants that?

10 Statement Leather Jackets To Wear This Fall
As we head into fall, it almost makes me sad to know that my favourite shirts will be covered up by the necessity of a jacket.
Luckily, there are tons of beautiful pieces out there that stand well on their own and make even the most basic outfits come to life.
Below are ten of my favourite jackets. Aside from the Saint Laurent leather jacket I’m wearing in this post, my favourite has to be the Prada silk pink tie-dye jacket. It would look rad with a pair of black trousers and black ankle boots, or look equally as incredible with grey sweatsuit and white sneakers. After all, versatility is key! Sometimes a statement piece is all one needs to make a simple outfit stand out.

PRADA Introduces Their Latest Scent, CANDY NIGHT
The latest addition to Prada’s Candy family is NIGHT - a sweet but seductive scent with depth and mystery. While the OG Candy didn’t particularly strike a chord with me, Candy Night is something different altogether and holds some of my favourite accords - patchouli, musk and Tonka bean.
Prada Night Candy is in stores now and can be found at The Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Sephora in Canada.
“A delightful celebration of bright, bitter orange and vivid iris… a heart of Patchouli, Musk and Tonka Bean.
A seductive overture of rich Cocoa Absolute ensures irresistible depth.”

6 STUNNING Fall Fragrances To Wear Right Now (and all the time actually)
Each season a ton of new fragrances flood the scene with their glossy sleek bottles and promise of a better life. Some of the ads can be downright comical in the way brands push perfumes on us. (Who's seen that Dolce & Gabbana ad where the guy is in a boat wearing the white Speedo with his crotch thrust towards the camera? I rest my case.)
Needless to say, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by it all, which is why I've gathered up six impressive scents. I’ve included some newbies to the scene, as well as some classics, and broke them down into personality types to help you find something delicious to wear this fall. Happy fragrance hunting!
SHOP FALL SCENTS
ONE. GIORGIO ARMANI SI FIORI
PERSONALITY: Warm, Feminine, Floral
NOTES: Opens with Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom at the core, warm Vanilla at the base.
This beautiful bottle is lacquered in a light nude pink to signify the femininity of the scent. Si Fiori “offers the unexpected union of blackcurrant nectar and mandarin to create a fresh and balanced composition.” If you’re into mysterious, yet romantic, warm floral scents, make sure to check this one out. It is the fifth fragrance in the Si collection.
TWO. YSL LIBRE
PERSONALITY: Warm & Floral
NOTES: Lavender Essence from France, Orange Blossom from Morocco, Complemented by a daring note of Musk Accord.
With Dua Lipa as the ambassador for YSL’s newest fragrance, Libre, you can already guess this one is for the majorly badass individual. (Libre means ‘freedom’ in french after all.) It’s a warm floral based fragrance that features lavender from France, orange blossom from Morocco with a daring musk accord. If you’re into warm, bold scents, check this one out. It feels familiar and contemporary at all once. Bonus, that sleek bottle with the YSL Cassandre logo is sure to make any Saint Laurent fan weak in the knees.
THREE. MAISON MARGEILA REPLICA Jazz Club
PERSONALITY: Warm & Spicy
NOTES: Pink Pepper, Rum Absolute, Tobacco Leaf Absolute
The label says “male fragrance” but there are plenty of women out there with an affinity for this warm and spicy scent, myself included. While perfectly suitable to wear any time of the year, Maison Margiela's Jazz Club particularly stands out in the cooler months. I’m always reminded up cozying up by the fire with a glass of whiskey in hand anytime I smell it.
FOUR. Narciso Rodriguez For Her
PERSONALITY: Warm, Sensual, Feminine.
NOTES: Honey Flower, Solar Musk, Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, Amberlyn, Vanilla, Tactile Musk, Tactile Woods, Vetiver.
Mysterious, unforgettable, feminine, and sophisticated. Narciso Rodriguez For Her has the heart of musk, in its floral, amber, and woody notes. The For Her Oil Musc is featured in my photos here, but the scent comes in a variety of forms such as eau de toilette, eau de parfum, rollerball, body lotion, shower gel, and hair mist.
FIVE. CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense
PERSONALITY: Warm Floral.
NOTES: Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Absolute.
Sensual, powerful and irresistible, CHANEL’S Coco Mademoiselle Intense perfume includes notes of patchouli, a feminine Amber accord, and an intoxicating blend of Tonka Bean, and Vanilla from Madagascar.
SIX. TOM FORD Santal Blush
PERSONALITY: Earthy & Woody.
NOTES: Cinnamon Bark Oil, Ylang-Ylang, Australian Sandalwood.
Another one to enjoy all year round, Tom Ford’s Santal Blush is worth every dollar. It’s mysterious, exotic, spicy, textured with creamy sandalwood and intoxicating florals. It’s truly unique and will be sure to get you noticed.
