This Silk Infusion Repairing Complex Repairs Your Hair From the Inside Out

I love this silk infusion from Chi to keep my hair looking and feeling its best. The silk and wheat proteins in this complex strengthens your hair, while adding shine, softness, and manageability. That it's made in North America is another plus for me, and I've definitely seen improvement since I started using it. Definitely pick up and add to your hair styling arsenal.

This Leave-in Tonic Reduces Breakage While Enhancing Shine

Similar to the Chi complex, this tonic renews your hair's strength. The difference is that it can be used daily for instant moisturizing and shine. Buyers swear by it for its salon-level effects that also protect your tresses from environmental damage. Personally, I find it's great for smoothing the frizz that I always, inevitably wake up with.

These Hydrocolloid Healing Pimple Patches Protect Your Breakouts From Yourself

These invisible pimple stickers are 100% one of the three things coming with me to a deserted island (even though there would be no one else around to notice the spots). While they don't get rid of the acne completely, they definitely stop me from picking at them, in a futile attempt to rid myself of the unsightly blemishes faster. The hydrocolloid patches suck out some of the grossness while healing the area. They also work well both under and on top of makeup, so you can stay looking bomb af.

This Olaplex Perfector Treatment Will Restore Life to Your Broken Tresses

Ah, Olaplex, my old friend. Since the pandemic started, this little bottle keeps selling out in droves- and for a reason. I bleach and dye my hair so much that I keep a steady supply of No. 3 in my apocalypse survival kit. The formula works to repair broken bonds in the hair that you keep ripping apart with harsh chemicals. There's a lot of science involved, but basically what it comes down to is this: it gives us the ability to go from dark brunette to a cool, platinum blonde without having to walk around with what looks like a wig you accidentally ran through the dryer.

These Makeup Blender Sponges Takes Your Makeup Application to the Next Level

Beauty blenders have been a thing for a few years now. I appreciate their popularity and I do enjoy using sponges to apply my makeup. However, you won't catch me in this lifetime dropping 30 bucks on a single sponge that I will lose and/or forget to wash and inevitably ruin. That's why I picked up this pack of 6 blending sponges, so that I could feel like a Youtube makeup guru, while staying true to myself and my ways. It's also a great way for those of you who have never used beauty blenders, and want to give it a go before you splash out for the name brand.

This BaBylissPro Lithium Trimmer Will Look Beautiful Displayed on Your Vanity When Not in Use

I love this electric trimmer for both its functionality and its design. I give a lot of haircuts to my friends, and a surprising number of them request a good buzzing. I picked this up to up the quality of those trims. It looks great on the vanity, as well, and my roommate even bought one for facial hair shaving.

This Bioderma Intensive Balm is a Great Solution for Itchy, Sensitive Skin

My skin gets so dry, so fast, and not just in the winter. It's also particularly sensitive (just like me), and suffers from contact dermatitis to boot. I tried out this ultra-smoothing balm as an alternative to the harsher hydrocortisone cream, and found it to be very effective. It definitely lives up to its "intensive" name as a repairing balm, and I can also attest to the anti-itch property. Definitely give it a try if you're a fellow sensitive, eczema-ridden individual.

This Activated Charcoal Mask Clears Away Those Pesky Blackheads

Black charcoal masks became quite popular a few years ago, and I'm happy to report they're here to stay. They go on your face as a viscous liquid, and then slowly dry up and harden into a shiny, skintight mask. The mask works to pull gunk out of your pores, similar to nose strips, and when time's up, you can have fun trying to pull it off your face in as close to one whole sheet as you can. This kit comes with a matching peel off gold collagen, for when you want to firm up your visage while looking like you just angered Drogon by insulting his Khaleesi. Are those references old yet?

This Smoothing, Intensely Hydrating Cream is Amazing for Replenishing Lost Moistsure in Colder Weather

Another thick, hydrating cream, I like to use this one on particularly rough patches of skin such as those around the elbows, knees, and back of the feet. It's particularly good in the colder seasons, and when living in Canada, those make up a large portion of the year.

These Reusable Bamboo Pads Are a Sustainable Alternative to Cotton Wipes

I am a true stan of removing all of your makeup before bed, to give your face a chance to breathe and relax after a long day of looking its absolute best. However, I'm not a fan of using dozens of cotton pads per week, even if they are compostable (are they?) So, I decided to invest in a set of these bamboo pads. These sustainable alternatives are machine washable and also work with micellar water and toners.

These Beauty Spatulas Keep Bacteria From Collecting in Your Moisturizer Jars

I wish more jarred creams and serums came with those little spatulas. They're handy for keeping the bacteria from your fingers from touching the product, as well as for scooping out any precious remnants of that jar of La Mer you received as a gift and have now sadly used up. The good news is you can pick up these silicone ones and use them with different products (provided you wash them in between jars).

This Carbonated Bubble Mask is a Fun Way to Clear Out Those Pores

Bubble masks are such a fun addition to spa night with yourself and the homies. They work just like regular clay masks, with bentonite clay and other cleansing ingredients, to clear out your pores while you make funny faces with a bunch of bubbles on your face.

This Whipped Hair Mouse Gives Curls Volume and Hold Without Weighing Them Down

I love Cake Beauty for their sweet, bakery-esque scent and cruelty-free products. This whipped mousse for curls is no exception. Without weighing down my hair, the mousse adds softness, shine, and oomph, helping my hair look its best even on the frizziest of days.

This 3-in-1 Leave-in Conditioner Detangles, Hydrates, and Revives Your Locks

Another leave-in conditioner, this one from Cake is a 3-in-1, where on top of adding moisture and nourishment, it works as a heat protectant. I don't like having more bottles than is necessary when it comes to beauty, so I love that this one product can effectively do the jobs of multiple.

This Organic Cold-Pressed Castor Oil Takes Care of Everything From Hair to Lashes

Castor oil has got to be one of my favourite oils, when it comes to hair and skincare. Its nourishing properties make it a fantastic serum for lashes, brows, and hair. Moreover, it's also a great carrier oil for those such as coconut and sweet almond. I've been mixing it into various DIY concoctions, and reaping the rewards.

This Ceramic Titanium Flat Iron is Effective and Doesn't Destroy Your Hair

Everyone needs a good quality flat iron in their inventory. Mine is this G2, by Chi, has titanium-infused ceramic plates and sleek design. Its 1-inch plates are wide enough even for my thick hair, and has an LCD screen that lets you know the temperature reached. This one goes up to 425 degrees F, which is more than hot enough to tame coarser

This Mustela Nourishing Cold Cream Stick Works for Baby and You

For those of us that medical balms still aren't strong enough to prevent cracks in the lips, there's the nourishing stick with cold cream from Mustela. It's made for babies and toddlers, and contains beeswax to lock in moisture. Give it a try and see if you don't end up "forgetting" to put it in your kid's backpack ... or just share, seeing as the days of going to an actual, physical school seem to be far behind us.

I'm fine.

This Surgical Steel Foot Filer Takes Care of the Rougher Parts of Your Feet

I definitely have a bad habit of neglecting my feet when it comes to caring for my skin. Back in my serving days, I spent upwards of 10 hours a day running around restaurants, and I swear those callouses and dead skin buildup will outlive me. I've since bought one of these stainless steel foot filers that has worked miracles on the cracks in my heels given me a glance into a potential world where my feet are actually smooth. It doesn't take too much effort, and when you're not using it, you can keep it in the cute little storage bag it comes with.

This Sensitive Body Lotion Contains Oatmeal to Soothe and Hydrate Your Skin

Sometimes, my skin gets so cranky that it only responds to the soothing song of oatmeal and hemp. This particular lotion doesn't contain any artificial fragrances or dyes, making it perfect for scent-sensitive folk (... scentsitive? No?)

This Eyebrow Trimmer Gives You More Control Over The Shape of Your Brows

Once you've used an eyebrow shaver, it will be very difficult to go without it in your beauty box. It lets you trim and shape your brows with precision, without the bulk and uncontrollability of a traditional razor. I use these when I'm desiring the straight brow look, as I find they work particularly well for that shape.

This Aztec Indian Healing Clay is the Go-to For DIY Face and Body Masks

As an avid DIY masker, this Aztec Indian Healing Clay is an absolute must-have in my arsenal. It's 100% natural bentonite clay (the kind found in most commercial clay masks), and can be mixed with almost anything from the recommended apple cider vinegar to various oils. I've also used it in my hair, and discovered that it gave way to sleek, soft locks once washed out.

This Jade Roller Set is Perfect for Face Massages to Keep Those Wrinkles at Bay

I picked up one of these jade roller sets to gift to an auntie. The cooling stone is great for massaging serums and creams into the skin, or it can be used on its own for a relaxing facial massage. The set is said to stave off the development of wrinkles, as well.

This Himalayan Salts Body Scrub Provides Your Skin with a Deep, Exfoliating Cleanse

Himalayan salt is not just pretty to look at, but has many beneficial properties that make it a popular ingredient in skincare. Its said to work with the body's PH, promoting balance and general wellness. This particular scrub is made with a lychee oil complex and sweet almond oil to give a deep, exfoliation of dead skin cells, while simultaneously providing moisture and nourishment.

These Waterproof Liquid Lipsticks is Perfect for Zoom Calls and Nights Out

Matte lipsticks are an integral part of any makeup bag, as is having multiple shades to match any outfit or occasion. These waterproof liquid lipsticks come in one of my favourite sets. The shades are nice and versatile, and they all dry to a beautiful, matte finish.

This Electric Hair Remover Makes Styling Your Brows So Much Easier

I love the design of this electric eyebrow trimmer. It works great at removing those little hairs that tweezers and flat razers have a hard (impossible) time getting to. The device is smooth and quiet, and fits handily into my makeup bag.

This Mario Badescu Facial Spray Will Definitely Make Itself at Home on Your Vanity

There's a reason that this facial spray from Mario Badescu is a cult favourite. The aloe, herbs, and rosewater that the toner is composed of give your skin a refreshing boost. I carry it with me in the summertime to regularly give my face a boost of hydration and love. I also love how subtle the scent is, as well as the minimalist design of the bottle.

This Matte Cream Pomade is a Natural Option for Styling Your Hair

Finding a decent hair styling cream that works with your hair is not easy. Finding one that works for medium to coarse hair without turning the strands into crispy, veggie straws is even harder. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this one and gave it to a friend with wavy hair to try out. They reported back that it left their hair soft and natural, while giving a nice hold and shape to their tresses.

This Lash Lift Kit Will Make Your Lash Extension Dreams Come True

Long lashes are my weakness, and I did not want to be an exception. I treated myself to this at-home lash lifting treatment kit and am pleased to report that I have noticed a difference. I love how they complement my eyes, making them appear bigger and brighter.

This Microdermabrasion Device Will Clear Your Pores Through the Magic of Exfoliation

Microdermabrasion is a hugely popular treatment that we now have limited access to due to social distancing restrictions. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't do a mini treatment for ourselves from the comfort of our homes. This one uses a standard diamond tip to remove dead skin without damaging it, minimize acne scars, and clear out pesky blackheads. Who says I can't look my best even during a global pandemic?

This Nioxin Thickening Spray Increases Volume in a Natural Way

This thickening spray from Nioxin is so good for those with thinner or thinning hair.

That further leads to an increase in self-confidence and feel-goodness.

This Moroccan Rosewater Facial Toner is a Great Natural Alternative to Drugstore Toners

I love, love this 100% rose water toner and use it daily both AM and PM after washing my face. It comes with a spray nozzle, which is great because it saves me from having to use more cotton/bamboo pads. I also spray it on after makeup to give a soft, hydrated glow.

This milk_shake Silver Shampoo Keeps Your Blonde Brass-Free

Having bleached blonde hair is awesome, but it definitely requires upkeep. One of the things I have to do regularly is keep away the brassiness from taking over my look. I've tried many different purple shampoos, and this milk_shake silver shine shampoo is one of my favourites. It cuts the brass very well, and never leaves any purple undertones.

This Green Tea Shaving Soap Helps the Sensitive Skin Types Get a Smooth Shave

While not an owner of a beard myself, I know plenty of people who do grow and rid themselves of facial hair. A popular product among that crowd is the Proraso shaving soap for sensitive skin, infused with green tea. It gives a smooth shave without the irritation, while smelling really nice on top of it (that part I can attest to).

This At-Home Whitening Kit Keeps Your Smile Sparkling Between Dentist Visits

COVID is no reason to not take care of your teeth and your smile. Being on Zoom every day can also make you super self conscious of your appearance; I know it has for me. Whitening my teeth at home with this MySmile kit really helped with the fluctuations in my self-esteem. It comes with three treatments and is super easy and low effort to use.

This Vitamin C Facial Toner with Witch Hazel Minimizes Pores and Calms the Skin

Canadian winters have their good and their bad, but one of the more annoying downsides is how dull the cold weather makes my skin. During those months, I rely very heavily on this vitamin C tone toner. It contains witch hazel, lavender oil, and geranium to calm and soothe, while the vit C does its job of brightening and making me look less like a full-blown zombie,

This 20% Vitamin C Serum Brightens Your Complexion

Another Vitamin C product I swear by is this serum infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.

I use it in conjunction with the vitamin C toner, and can happily report that it does what it promises. My skin looks plumper and healthier, and even my makeup appears smoother.

This Mustela Sensitive Skin Micellar Water Keeps Your Skin Baby-Smooth

This micellar water has become one of my favourites. It's gentle enough for babies, but I find it perfect for the skin on my face- particularly around my eyes where the skin is thinner and more delicate. I also use it on my décolletage (fancy term for neck and chest area), since those areas generally collect sweat during the day. It's a refreshing way to end my night.
