@schafskincare 🌿I’ve been testing a new to me line, Schaf Skincare, and wanted to spotlight two standout products as summer comes to an end. I’m a complete sucker for minimalist packaging, and this all-gender duo from Schaf is on my shelf for a reason. I’m seriously impressed with this all-natural, high-performance skincare line. 🤍Facial Cleanser:: loving the incredibly gentle cleanser that removes all the dirt, sunscreen and makeup from your skin while leaving it clean, refreshed, and in my case, non-irritated. Complete win! 🤍Age Repair Cream:: no matter your age, we can all use a little repair and pampering, because let’s face it, we haven’t always treated our skin the best (gentle reminder to wear SPF every day, beauties!). This no-fuss fragrance free facial cream is full of goodies like peptides, olive squalane and hyaluronic acid that leave your skin nourished, not sticky. The simplicity and effectiveness of this line has me reaching for it over and over. 🌿Nab these at @thedetoxmarketcanada Thank you @schafskincare for sending these my way! #schafskincare #veganskincare #genderneutral #facialcleanser #nobsskincare #genderschmender #happyhealthyskin #nontoxic #torontoskincare #thedetoxmarket #shopcanadian

@shoppersdrugmart 🌱Stepping up my oral care routine with my #ShoppersTopPicks My one-stop-shop for pretty much EVERYthing I need daily, @shoppersdrugmart is celebrating 60 years of caring for Canadians with their curated Top Picks: 60th Anniversary Edition collection, and here are a few of my faves.. 💙Phillips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush in the gorgeous sage colour:: this is such a unique toothbrush - it uses micro vibrations to help polish and clean teeth. It’s such a smoother and quicker clean than my traditional electric toothbrush, I’ve picked one up for my boys too! 💙Crest Pro-Health Densify Daily Protection Toothpaste:: this minty toothpaste helps rebuild surface tooth density every time I brush. Our tooth enamel weakens as we get older and I’m super protective of my smile now. This toothpaste also contains fluoride to protect against cavities. It’s basically great for everything. 💙ARC Whitening Pen:: I love how easily this tooth whitener applies to help combat my coffee addition. I haven’t tried a pen-applicator like this before and I find it way easier than the strips. Love! What are your go-to oral care products from Shoppers Drug Mart?

#tryirishspring 🌲Back to school means back to routine for my boys - they’re both loving the Sage + Cedar Moisturizing Face + Body Wash from @irishspring and I’m loving that it’s paraben free and formulated without phthalates! This smells INCREDIBLE, suds up really well, and keeps my busy pre-teen and teen smelling great all day. Nab this at your local @walmartcanada 🇨🇦 Thank you @irishspring @chickadvisor @thisisbutterly @thexystuff for sending this our way! #tryirishspring #productreviewclub #gotitfree

#topratedbeauty 💛My secret to flawless summer skin is the @lorealparis Infallible 24H Fresh Wear foundation in Shade 405. The formula is incredibly lightweight and buildable, which works perfectly to counter my rosy cheeks and smooth out my freckles but not hide them completely, and I love that it doesn’t get dry over the course of the day. I apply the foundation with a fluffy makeup brush rather than a beauty blender, which I find keeps application as light as possible. Shade 405 is also the closest match to my skin in summer when I have a bit of a tan, and I LOVE that I don’t have to mix two shades to perfectly colour-match. 💛Find your perfect shade at @walmartcanada #gotitfree #loreal #lorealinfallible #lorealparis #24hourfreshwear @walmartcanada @lorealparis

@matrix ☀️ Beach blonde Spending as much time outside as I can this summer means my blonde hair can go WAY too brassy in the sun - I use the @matrix So Silver collection once/week to keep my hair on the neutral side. Bonus - my silver strands are also kept bright and the triple power mask keeps my hair super soft. I love that this trio works fast, smells AMAZING, and doesn’t stain my hands or white shower tiles. Did you know that Matrix has collections for all hair types? Check it out at @matrix ☀️How are you taking care of your hair this summer? #matrix #bnation #gifted

My favourite place for all things beauty is Shoppers Drug Mart. I can’t count how many times I’ve happily spent an hour parusing the shelves to see what’s new in beauty, skincare and makeup- typically when I run in “for just one thing” 😉. My husband can attest to this!! 😂 I know I’m not alone, tell me you do end up browsing the aisles too? 🎈🎉Shoppers Drug Mart is celebrating their milestone 60th Anniversary with with PC Optimum points offers, and a curated collection of Top Picks 60th Anniversary Edition products. A few of my fave products are:: 💙Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser:: this cleanser is the standout from the Hydro Boost line, with a fresh gel consistency that removes makeup, dirt and oil without leaving a sticky residue. Definitely staying in my lineup. 💙OGX Hydrate & Revive + Argan Oil of Morocco Extra Strength Shampoo:: this shampoo is super luxe! It smells INCREDIBLE and leaves my fine hair super moisturized but not weighed down, which is sometimes the case with a very hydrating shampoo. A keeper! 💙Pixi Glow Tonic:: cult fave for a reason, this toner brightens without irritating my skin, I’m loving this cute size to take on weekends at the cottage.

@lorealparis 💜Youth Code I’ve posted about Youth Code Skin Strengthening Serum before, and needed to give an update on my experience. This is THE serum of my summer, and I keep reaching for it again and again because it provides such an excellent level of hydration, which is key for helping reduce the appearance of fine lines. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Run, don’t walk and nab this. Your skin will thank you! #lorealyouthcode #youthcode #sensitiveskincare #loréal #gifted #summerserum

@kerilotion.ca 🏖 beach after-care Beach time (my fave!!) in the summer means I need to take extra care for my skin. I’m reaching for Keri Shower & Bath Oil both in the shower after I cleanse to help hydrate, and when I really have dry skin on from the beach I’ll rub some extra oil onto my feet and wear socks overnight. This Keri Shower & Bath Oil helps lock in moisture on damp skin, and has a perfect, delicate fragrance. 💦 how will you #kerioilmoisturize ?

@lesindustriesgroom 🌿GROOM I spend a lot of time testing and reviewing skincare for myself, so it’s always a pleasure when I can share products with the rest of my family (I’m outnumbered as the only female!). GROOM is a 100% Canadian personal-care brand that is committed to creating eco-friendly grooming products. 🌿I absolutely LOVE the nature-inspired fragrance in these products - fresh and earthy, and I’m a particular fan of the fig & citrus Forêt Soap (with ground for needles for gentle exfoliation) and Hand Wash with Bamboo Exfoliant (made with biodegradable surfactants). 🌿My husband loves the shaving cream, and my eldest son, who is just beginning to get serious about skincare, likes the Hand Repair Cream (which moisturizes without any greasiness by using mornings butter). GROOM also has plastic negative certification, which means that for every plastic bottle they use, they find the removal of two other plastic bottles through partnership with rePurpose Global. Have you tried GROOM yet?⤵️ Thank you @lesindustriesgroom for sending these my way! #groom #lesindustriesgroom #handwash #handrepaircream #foretsoap #certifiedplasticnegative #plasticnegative #ecofriendlyskincare

#topratedbeauty 💚Top Rated Beauty Sun’s out, faves out! Beyond excited to be a part of the #TopRatedBeauty program, and to showcase three of my favourite products right now. 💚Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Aloe Super Hydrating Serum Gel packs the power of a 3-in-1, the hydration of a gel moisturizer, the power of hyaluronic acid serum, & the comfort of an of a gel-eye cream. I wear this during the day under my concealer and it really helps with my puffy eye area in the morning. This serum absorbs SO well! 💚Thayer pH Balancing Gentle Fave Wash with Aloe Vera is a perfect compliment to my skincare routine, easily removing makeup and dirt without leaving my skin dry or red. 💚Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Super Smoothing Night Serum Cream is a perfect serum after I cleanse at night, it’s packed with pure retinol and a super berry blend to improve fine lines and uneven skin texture. This serum is so moisturizing I find that I don’t need to wear a night cream over it. Easy-peasy, AND it helps reduce dark circles (which I am prone to). As always, only use regional at night, beauties! Have you tried any #topratedbeauty yet? 💚All three of these are available at @walmartcanada @thayersnatural @garniercan #gotitfree #productreviewclub @chickadvisor @thisisbutterly

@skinceuticals 💚HydraCorrect One of my favourite and most-repurchased (read: I’m obsessed) skincare brands, SkinCeuticals, just launched my must-have facial mist of the season, the Phyto Corrective Essence Mist! 🔑 Takeaway: 💚Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is your body’s natural hydrator- it provides long lasting hydration which improves the look of your skins texture, and is suitable for all skin types 💚This soothing botanical essence mist replenishes skin’s moisture barrier and boosts moisture by 59% - even over makeup 💚Phyto botanical blend calms, soothes and reduces visible redness SkinCeuticals has an entire range of HA products - and is THE leading brand and reference for anything HA. When our skin is dehydrated, structural and cellular changes can occur in our skins barrier, and one of the super powers of HA is the support of proper skin barrier function, which can also help reduce redness (which I suffer from) I’m paring this Essence Mist with the Gel Phyto Corrector - a gorgeous green serum that soothes and hydrated to help improve discolouration and uneven skin tone. I’ve found this duo to be very effective this month in hydrating my skin. July has been so hot and my skin is all over the place, and I love the convenience of the Essence Mist to rehydrate throughout the day. @skinceuticals is available in clinics and on SkinCeuticals.ca #skinceuticalsca #hydracorrect #phytocorrectessencemist #gelphytocorrector @bnation_bicom #bnation #gifted #skinchyaluronicacid

@nowfoodscanada Now Solutions Beauty 💜Last fall I introduced my kids to @nowfoodscanada vitamins, now I’ve been given the chance to try Now Beauty! I’ve been testing: ▫️Hyaluronic Acid AM Moisturizer:: formulated to draw moisture to the skin’s surface and help fill in fine lines. This is a lightweight non-greasy formula that absorbs well. A good all-round moisturizer, but don’t forget to add your own SPF. This has a very lightweight scent, almost earthy-citrusy that fades quickly. ▫️Hyaluronic Acid:: this facial mist is a great moisturizing companion on days when your skin is feeling tired, through the inclusion of Aquaxyl, which decreases skin water loss and improves moisture on the skin’s surface. I’ve been consistently using facial mists this year, and this is going to the top of my rotation. ▫️Hyaluronic Acid PM Crème:: a moisture-renewing evening cream that is heavier than the AM cream and includes natural butters and skin care oils to hydrate overnight. This is a a thicker cream than the AM but doesn’t feel too thick. The scent compliments the AM cream. ▫️Hyaluronic Firming Serum:: this serum helps with skin elasticity as it contains ultra-concentrated hyaluronic acid. I’m always interested in ANY firming properties and this is a lovely serum that does the job. Final thoughts:: I’m always interested in trying new to me skincare lines, and Now Beauty really impressed me. I love the packaging (note to double check how tight the kids are on, some of mine were a bit loose), especially the pump on the bottles. Remember to always shake any facial mist well before use to stir the ingredients. This set is going on my top-shelf! 💜Have you tried Now Beauty yet? #trynowbeauty #blemishclear #gotitfree

@degree 🌟Degree Advanced 72Hour Dry Spray 💦 I don’t know about you, but I’ve been melting in this summer heat. I’m SO glad I found the 72Hour Motionsense Dry Spray Antiperspirant from Degree - even after working out my t-shirt stays dry. I tried the #degreesweattest and used this deo for 5 consecutive days and am loving my dry t-shirt results! 🌟I hadn’t tried an aerosol antiperspirant before this and I’m wondering what took me so long Have you tried an aerosol antiperspirant yet? #gotitfree #notdoneyet #degreesweattest #degreetshirtchallenge @thisisbutterly

@theinkeylist 🤍appreciation post What’s one brand you return to over and over again? One of mine is definitely @theinkeylist - you really can’t beat the price point compared to quality of product. I reach for the Omega Water Cream and Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Hair Treatment over and over. 🤍What’s one of your go-to brands? #theinkeylist #gifted #hyaluronicacid #hairtreatment #omegawatercream #apprecationpost
