It’s been awhile since I posted a roundup of all the recent beauty products I’ve been trying out, so it’s due time to share some of what I’m loving lately! Let’s jump right into it starting with my latest makeup faves!

Winter Makeup Beauty Faves

Wing Fling Liner Stamp from Tru Glue

Hello winged liner goals! The Wing Fling Eyeliner is a new addition to the True Glue lineup. They’re known for their all-natural lash adhesive, but now have branched into natural makeup as well!

In 2 easy steps, this dual sided wing stamp pen and felt tip liner creates the perfect wing every time.  It takes the stress out of getting those liner wings even and the formula is great too!

I find it to be super waterproof and it last all day long without budging, which is great for those with watery eyes (aka me). It’s made form all-natural ingredients, and is vegan and cruelty-free.

Lashes from Lithe

Lashes are the one thing that wake me up more than coffee, or make me look awake at least. Lithe is a Canadian eyelash brand that makes the perfect everyday lash that’s simple and beautiful.

My favourite are the 05 Wispy & Willowy (top in picture above), that a have contrasting lengths to create a delicate doll eyed look. I find them extremely light and comfortable, and love that I’m able to get multiple wears out of them. Lithe Lashes are cruelty free, vegan and have ego-friendly packaging.

MatteMoist Lipgloss from Note Cosmetics

Great for elevating your everyday look, the Mattemoist Lip Gloss from Note Cosmetics is a buttery, pigment-rich lippie with silky matte finish.

Since I’ve got them, I’ve put them on high rotation!  I love how they feel on my lips and thanks to the hydrating oils and vitamins it contains. They’re made from clean ingredients and infused with botanicals, as well as being Paraben-free and cruelty-free.

Power Fabric High Coverage Liquid Concealer from Armani Beauty

The Power Fabric High Coverage Liquid Concealer is like photoshop for my face. I’ve been using on my dark circles and it helps to lift and brighten the entire area!

It’s creates this second skin look that blurs away imperfections, from dark circles to redness and blemishes. I also love how it wears beautifully throughout the day, feeling both comfortable and looking smooth on the skin without caking or creasing over time.

HD Liquid Cover Foundation from Catrice

Catrice is a G-beauty (German beauty) brand that launched in Canada last year and specialize in luxury-inspired makeup at affordable prices.

The HD Liquid Cover Foundation is an ultra-light, high coverage foundation with a natural looking finish.  I love the full coverage that it provides, and it does an amazing job covering imperfections for a smooth and even complexion. It’s staying power is amazing too, and lasts all day long from am to pm.

Winter Skincare Favourites

Phyto-Nature Firming Serum from Dermalogica

Launching late last year, the Phyto-Nature Firming Serum is a new serum that gives both instant and long term results in anti-aging. It has a hyaluronic acid base thats infused with plant-derived bio-extracts to visibly tighten and lift skin, along with ingredients that improve luminosity and radiance in skin.

I love the feeling of the serum on my skin and noticed my skin had a great glow to it just a few days into using it. It has also been great for the winter and helps my skin hold on to moisture with its hyaluronic acid formulation.

The cream itself is rich and hydrating and perfect for those dry cold winter days. As promised it’s gentle on my skin and I’m able to use it everyday without irritation.

I’ve been a little obsessed with sleep masks lately, and the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask has become one of my favourites for getting glowing skin. It’s formulated with soothing, amino-acid rich Watermelon Extract, hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, and pore refining AHAs that work while you sleep to gently exfoliate and clarify.

This sleep mask smells absolutely delicious and leaves my skin looking glowy and hydrated when I wake up. The texture is super luxe, yet lightweight and breathable so forget you have anything on your face when you fall asleep.

Overnight Gel Mask with Vitamin E from Olay

The Overnight Gel Mask with Vitamin E from Olay is another sleep mask that I’ve been loving we well.  It has a combination of hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E to nourish and smooth the skin.

I love the light-weight gel formula and how well it hydrates my skin and keeps it hydrated through the day as well.  I found this one to be perfect for the winter when skin is dry and looking for an extra dose of hydration.

Purifying Mask from Artistry Signature Select

This Purifying Mask from Artistry Signature Select helps to cleanse skin and diminish oil and shine. It has a deep-cleaning formula immediately attracts and soaks up oil, to purify pores and decrease shine help help skin look cleaner and fresher.

The mask has a smooth clay light texture that I found to be the perfect balance of deep cleansing without over drying the skin. My pores looked cleaner and less visible and using the mask helped me to control my oily areas better.
