"I only need to buy one thing" - Famous last words.

Popped into shoppers with my $10 rewards card looking to purchase razors, ended up buying a few other things...

Butter London in Fairy Lights: Ok this was actually from a local spa but I thought it deserved a mention. Such a beautiful colour, I can't stop looking at my nails-HELP! Let me know if you are interested in a NOTD.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten: Finally...I caved. We've all read countless posts raving about these so it was about time to try one.

Nivea Gentle Cleansing Wipes: Ran out of my Pond's Wipes (more on those in my next Empties post) and want to try something new, these are supposed to be good for dry skin.

Softsoap Body Butter: Used this a few times already. It is rich, creamy and exfoliating. The smell doesn't linger on my skin however the beads linger in my shower. My tub was full of little brown beads, what a pain to clean up!

EOS Lip Balm: This makes me smile for a few reasons: One, because it is 100% natural and 95% organic! Two, because there are instructions on how to use a lip balm. Makes sense because the packaging is 'unique' but the photo is funny nonetheless.

Favorite Summer Lip Products

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post, and since then I've gained quite a few more followers *happy dance* so welcome to all the newcomers!


I find as the seasons change I look for different qualities in lip products. My lips are not as dry and therefore require less mositurization. Instead they need more sun protection, a waterproof formula and portable packaging! These three products are my top choices. I take them to the beach, cottage, pool, restaurant, work, wherever!

Sweet Lemon Lip Butter: Besides the fact that this comes in a pot (less hygienic) I really like this lip butter. The scent is sweet, just like lemonade. The texture is actually kind of granular and has exfoliating properties. I got this product from a friend so I don't know about the cost-but regardless I think it's worth a try.

Nivea Sun: Nothing is worse than getting a sunburn on your lips (ouch)! This has SPF 30 and does a fantastic job protecting your lips. The product itself reminds me of chalk, do you see what I mean? Thick, yellow tube? It is also waterproof and though it won't help with dry lips it in no way makes it worse. The one downside is that it does give off a yellowy-white colour, however this fades.

Carmex Lip Ointment: This is an old favourite that I use all year round. It has a strong smell and strong repairing abilities. My lips can literally be so chapped they are bleeding and this soothes and calms them. Never fails to impress me. The instructions say to apply no more than 3 to 4 times per day. I would agree with this, as impressive as the ointment is, the ingredients are strong. Can't just slab this on like you would a lip gloss!
