November Faves

When the snow finally falls, you can smell the holiday season. Just around the corner, it’s gift-giving time… probably one of my favourite times of year. I put together my top 10 November favourites that includes beauty products, skincare, and jewelry, all the necessities for to make you sparkle from the inside out!

Guerlain Meteorites Illuminating Powder Pearls is such a stunning illuminating, light-diffusing powder that adds brightness to your skin. I use it at the end of a makeup look to add that extra glow and correct any skin colour imperfections. I also love how stunning this is as a decorative piece. I mean, of course I use it on my face, but it doesn’t hurt that it has a beautiful combo of coloured pearls to rest on my countertop. 

A little while back I launched a collection of beaded necklaces and the Mlle Jules Panarea necklace continues to be one of my favourite go-to pieces to accessorize with. Made with Freshwater pearls and turquoise gemstones, it works great with every outfit. I also love the little detail of the dangling gold-plated evil eye charm.

I’ve been a fan of Local Pure for a while now – they always have great new products that are healthy for your skin. I particularly like the bath Bomb Rosé when I want to take a little relaxing me time. The geranium and eucalyptus scent fills the bathroom with such a serene smell, it takes literally nothing to go from stressed to chill. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who needs time to themselves.

La mer creme de la mer moisturizing cream has been around for a long time and truly stands the test of time. Other skincare lines have tried to recreate this magic formula, but La Mer has it down to the firm feel, rejuvenated look, and energy infusing Miracle Broth, yup broth, their words not mine. It’s an ultra-rich moisturizing cream that heals and lifts. It’s worth every penny.

Removing makeup is one of those things I used to dread. So fun to put it on, love the way it looks while I’m out on the town hanging out, and then I come home and all I want to do is spritz my face with a little water and move on with my life. But when you find the right product that makes everything easy, you start looking forward to it. That’s how I feel about the Face Halo Cherry Morello. From light to heavy makeup, these pads are plush – you don’t need to scrub or rub, it just wipes right off leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Sk-11 facial treatment Essence is a lightweight liquid with a powerful punch. Living your skin with a visible radiance, I was so surprised to hear that this treatment all started at a sake brewery! Advanced technology infuses the pure power of Pitera™ and reduces dark spots, the appearance of uneven skin, and other imperfections.

Have you heard about the power of mushrooms? The synergistic energy they put out to strengthen your immune system is real, and the benefits are intense.  Rainbo 11:11 super multi mushroom extraction is a double-extraction mixture of 11 powerful mushrooms organically grown in Canada, and is formulated for to be taken like a multivitamin. One a day, keeps the doctor away!

Gucci bloom ambrosia di fiori is the new Gucci fragrance and it is legit like smelling a bouquet of roses. Velvety and delicious, it smells like a walk in the park in the early morning. It is decadent and vibrant and honestly makes the perfect gift or stocking stuffer!

I’m usually a neutral eyeshadow kind of person, but every once in a while I like to change things up and add a little glitter to the mix. Charlotte Tilbury luxury eyeshadow palette - Celestial pearls is the perfect four-step eyeshadow that allows you to build a look for day or night. I use the prime shades alone or as a first layer to create that smoky poppy look, perfect for the holiday season.

Last but not least the Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Line liquid Blush - 30 coral is a water-based liquid colour that gives your face that perfect glow. With a perfect velvety feel, it’s blendable, buildable, and perfectly plush.

Happy November Shopping!
