Thanks so much to Seabuckthorn for inviting me to a lovely intimate blogger lunch and for all of the amazing samples. The ladies I met from the company were so delightful and accommodating as we chatted about blogs, social media and of course seabuckthorn everything over a veggie lunch at the Epic Restaurant at The Fairmont Royal York.

SBT is a proudly Canadian company that harvests, makes and hand pours their collection of over 60 products in Peachland, BC. Their natural products have a ton of impressive health benefits. For example their Seed Oil has the ability to reduce scar tissue and their Sniffle Stick helps congestion and can also aid as a headache reliever (when rubbed on the temples) as it contains peppermint oil.
I’m most excited about their Anti-Aging Cream. I’ve always been a fan of natural moisturizers and I’ve already fallen in love with this one. It absorbs into the skin nicely and my makeup seems to hold up better throughout the day.
Stay tuned for a full review and the health benefits of each product in the upcoming weeks. In the meanwhile, the line can be picked up at Seabuckthorn.com (they ship internationally, just drop them an email!), Whole Foods and Well.ca.
Xoxo, Nathalie
090914 White After Labour Day P.2
Fall is all about layers for me in makeup and in clothing. The early months are the best in that you can pull off bare legs, a chunky knit and a leather jacket, a la the above and not feel under or over dressed. This outfit combo of white on white is one of my faves and I dressed it differently this time with the sweater but also with the CDG x Converse sneakers. It’s a great way to instill a casual comfy vibe to the outfit.
Every fall wardrobe needs a good leather jacket. Mine is made by Mackage (exclusively for Aritzia) and is slightly shrunken. This jacket will stay with me for a long time and will only get better with age.

As for makeup I’ll be layering as well with brighter colours as the weather gets gloomy and my pale olive skin needs a pick me up. Healthy eating well is always a necessity for a good complexion but sometimes a little bit more blush in a brighter colour goes a long way. Admittedly I do wear more makeup up during the fall and for blog photo shoots so don’t be alarmed by this long list of what I’m wearing in this post.

I’ll be ready to review these fun cosmetics from Benefit in another week. I’ve been using them for a short time and can already say they’re pretty awesome. And I love the packing! It makes me happy on the mornings I’m too tired to remember my own name!
Thank you Benefit Cosmetics Canada!
