Suetables
Is there anything sweeter than wearing your heart on your hand? Made up of the gemstones from the birth months of each of my family members, this ring symbolizes love and togetherness. 10k yellow gold and filled with colour, I am obsessed with my Suetables Cristi Birthstone ring.
NUXE
Firming, toning and moisturizing, because there is nothing this NUXE Body Toning Firming Cream with Green Tea Extract can’t do (wow that was a moutful!). But, legit, it has the most delicate scent and has a toning magic formula that uplifts your skin, making it firmer both physically and visibly. Three kids later, I ran to grab a bottle (or 2) of this! Tip: apply in circular and upward motion.
Coloré
These luxury coasters by Coloré are the perfect accessory to decorate any dinner party or
special occasion. I have a couple options at home, but I love the Coaster set in Green for the summer, it’s a gentle way to bring the outdoor colours into the home and onto the table. They come 4 acrylic coasters to a set and have anti-clip rubber grips at the bottom so they won’t slide around.
Oribe
Oribe has a great Bright Blond Essential Priming Serum that I started using a little while ago. It brightens and tones your hair (yes, tones your hair, it’s a thing) by eliminating the brassiness that can sometimes happen with coloured hair. Great for all hair types, it also has a heat protection so you can style and the serum will keep your hair moisturized.
Clarins
Myclarins RE-BOOST Healthy Glow Tinted Gel Crème by Clarins does exactly what it claims; reboosts your skin for a healthy and tinted glow. It’s a gel cream that revitalizes, brightens, hydrates, and washes away fatigue. A one-time morning application and you’ll look fresh and refreshed all day long.
Bathorium
Bathorium (available at Pharmacie Westmount) is a brand that I fell in love with the moment I read the name. No joke, I mean, Bathorium! It just says so much. Anyhow, the CRUSH Bath Soak in Northern Sage Recovery is a cool and tingly fresh menthol that detoxifies and nourishes damaged skin. Immerse yourself in your tub and soak in the embracing scents of the Northern Borealis (think menthol, sage, coriander and pine). Oh, and it’s made in Canada!
Clarins
Another Clarins favourite was discovered this summer: the Frozen Summer Compact Bronzing Powder. Made of 3 gradient matte shades, I have played around with the colours individually or smoothed my brush all 3 shades and layered up the full-face bronzed effect. Did you know that Clarins has created a teracycle program? Just bring your empty bottle of Clarins and get 10% off your next refill.
Bite Beauty
Vegan, clean and cruelty-free, the Power Move Hydrating Soft Matte Lipstick, shade “Sugar Buns” by Bite Beauty moisturizes and conditions your lips while leaving it velvety all day long. Made with tapioca pearls (yup, like the pudding), and mixed with fatty acid waxes, Bite Beauty has a matte finish that feels so smooth and lightweight on your lips.
Lancôme
Idole Mascara by Lancôme is the perfect mini mascara to carry with you come night or day. Like all great mascaras, the Lancôme Idol Mascara lifts, lengthens and fans out your eyelashes without leaving any clumps. But this mascara is also made with an antioxidant-rich White Tea Extract so that it also conditions your lashes.
Summer Memories x Mlle Jules
Summer memories x Mlle Jules ES VEDRA earrings are probably my all-time favourite earrings this summer. I’ve been finding ways to match outfits to them every possible way from Sunday. An instant-neck lengthener, these earrings have a nostalgic feel of nature and an architectural feel of that rocky, 3D landscape. Inspired by my trip to Ibiza, these freshwater pearls carry serious superpower energy.
So many beauty products to give that real summer feel. Whether it’s the colour, the scent, or the bronzing effect, there’s no shortage of summer skincare, bathing rituals, or pretty design accents for your home. Which is your fave?
