GLAMGLOW POWERMUD vs GLAMGLOW FLASHMUD

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to compare two masks by GLAMGLOW that I am currently using in rotation. They are: the GLAMGLOW POWERMUD Dual Cleanse Treatment and the GLAMGLOW FLASHMUD Brightening Treatment. I am putting both to the test and wanted to share my thoughts on them with you!

POWERMUD
This is a detox mask that will help: cleanse, detox, nourish, purify and renew your skin. It is suggested to use post-workout to detox your skin and purify those pores. This mask is targeted to those who suffer from: dryness, oiliness, dullness and uneven skin texture. It is rather grainy in texture because it is meant to be used as a mask and then when you are washing it off, you are supposed to wet your face while using circular motions which helps exfoliate your skin. This mask dries rather quickly and I leave it on for 10-15 minutes. It is encouraged to use this as a full face mask 1-2 times a week.

FLASHMUD
This is a brightening mask that will help: correct, brighten and let the skin look more luminous. It will also even out the tone and make the skin appear more radiant. If you have: dark spots, an uneven skin tone, dullness or an uneven skin texture, this would be a great mask for you to test out! Same thing as the POWERMUD, there are tiny granules because it acts as a mask as well as an exfoliator and you want to wash it off using the same method as I previously mentioned. 

I loved the scent of this product, it went on a lot smoother than the POWERMUD did, it is easier to see where exactly you have applied it onto your face and any spots that you may have missed. I used more product though to get an even application, the consistency reminded me of hybrid between POWERMUD due to its gritty texture and YOUTHMUD because of the larger flakes contained inside the formula. For best results, use this 2-3 times per week and use it to cover your entire face.

Thoughts & Winner
It would definitely have to be the FLASHMUD by a long shot! When it dries, it doesn't crack like other facial masks do to a point where if you laugh or try to speak, it hurts. This mask doesn't even feel like you have one on and it is extremely lightweight even after it has dried on the skin. I kept touching my face to see if it was dried because I didn't feel like there was a mask on my face! It did an excellent job at exfoliating my face and my face felt very soft after using it! 

There are 6 masks in total and I have tried 4 of them. The mask retails on the Sephora website for $79 but you can also purchase the travel size for $24 if you to try it out. I purchased both of my masks at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale for a discounted price.

I do have a dedicated post where I go more into depth about the brand in-general. The post is titled, 'All About GLAMGLOW.'

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

February Empties | 2017

Hey everyone! I'm back with another Empties post today and wanted to share with you all of the products that I have used up for the month of February! Let's dive in!

Hair

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Bodybuilding Volume Shampoo & Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Bodybuilding Volume Conditioner (40 ml each) - I got this on Black Friday on the Sephora web site and I really do like the smell. I thoroughly enjoyed trying this out but my hair is getting longer and therefore I need to use more product. I noticed that the duo did make my hair more soft! One bottle has quite a steep price tag of $40 CAD for 8.5 oz or 250 ml. I don't think that I would commit to the full size but I did like the travel friendly tubes!

Face

LaNeige Good Night Kit - Water Sleeping Mask (15 ml) & Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask (20 ml) - This was purchased on the Sephora web site for $8 CAD and it is a great way to try-out two products! I loved the smell of the Yogurt mask and it made my skin feel very fresh as well as soft after using it. The Sleeping Mask was honestly really great to use and it absorbed into the skin quickly. It left my face very soft the next morning and I actually featured it in my Most Reached for Face Masks & Sleeping Masks post.

ARZ Rose Water (300 ml) - I love using Rose Water to tone my face at night and this is the second bottle that I have gone through. I managed to use the entire bottle up before the expiration date which was next month and needless to say, that was very successful! I have an entire blog post dedicated to The Benefits of Rose Water and the best part is that you can purchase it at your local grocery store for around $3!

Murad Ultimate Hydration Duo - 2 Target, Hydro-Dynamic Quenching Essence (5 ml) & 3 Hydrate, Hydro Dynamic Ultimate Moisture (7.5 ml) - This was featured in my Sephora Black Friday Haul and it was selling for $20 CAD online with a $28 value. This was nice to use and try-out however, I would not buy the full size. I no longer had acne-prone skin and my skin is not problematic. Murad is a great brand and I have nothing negative to say about them. There are just different moisturizers on the market that I prefer and sometimes I just want to put on a moisturizer in the morning without having to worry about applying the essence as well. The moisturizer was thicker than I originally thought but it worked well for me in the winter time when I applied it in the morning. The duo did make my face noticeably smoother and softer though. I did also appreciate that they included a lot of information inside the box about the products as well as the ingredient list.

Also, I know the Murad Step 3 Face Cream is full in the photo, but I took the photo before I finished it this month.

Tarte FRXXXTION Stick Exfoliating Cleanser (0.22 oz) - This is honestly a great way to exfoliate your face and it does come in a stick form which makes it super convenient as well as not nearly as messy as other products! I like the purple packaging and to be honest with you, I thought that this was going to be a gimmick but I can honestly say that it is not! This is a gel stick and it is fragrance-free in-case you were wondering. If you want to leave it on for a little while longer, there is the option to use this as a mask! This product is amazing and I am so glad that I tried it out! It was part of the Ready, Set, Glow! Skincare Kit from Tarte on the Sephora web site that retails for $21 CAD. I did feature it in my blog post talking about my 3 Favourite Exfoliators for the Face.

Estee Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum (7 ml) - I purchased this at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale and I also wrote a blog post sharing with you, which items I purchased. I really did like using this serum at night and it absorbed into my skin very quickly. This is marketed to all skin types and the scent isn’t overpowering at all! I really did look forward to using this product as part of my PM skin routine and the bottle is gorgeous!

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream (7 ml or 0.24 fl oz) - This claims to both moisturize and nourish the skin. I would definitely agree and I absolutely love the scent as it smells like fresh roses! It is a cream-gel that has both rosewater as well as rose flower oil inside. It is marketed to have a lightweight texture but I would disagree and say that it is more on the thicker side. I would only use this cream in the morning during the fall or winter months because it is quite dense. I have more oily skin and this cream is definitely not targeted towards us oily skin ladies! This travel sized cream came in the Skincare Power Players Set from Fresh that was purchased on the Sephora web site for $30 CAD during Black Friday even though this was not a Black Friday special. The full sized version retails for $50 CAD on the Sephora web site and you are receiving 50 ml or 1.6 fl oz of product inside the beautiful jar. 

GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD TINGLEXFOLIATE Treatment (15 ml or .5 oz) - I purchased this for $15 at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale. I had tried a sample of it and I really enjoyed using it! This little jar will give you between 3-6 uses which is great for being able to try-out the product without committing to the full size product which retails for $79 CAD on the Sephora site for 50 ml of product. I personally prefer the GRAVITYMUD Firming Treatment mask which is a peel off mask that changes colour once it is on your face. This mask can get rather messy because it contains pieces of Green Tea Leaves that fall into the sink when your wash it off. It did make my skin feel very soft after use but I wouldn’t commit to the full size version. It contains other great ingredients like French Sea Clay and Volcanic Pumice Rock. This mask does also help exfoliate your skin as you are supposed to rub it in circular motions when removing it.

Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask (20 ml) - This was also part of the same aforementioned Fresh Skincare Set. I liked the scent and there is a tingling sensation when the mask is applied and you only need to wear it for 5-10 minutes on your face. I have taken this directly from the Sephora site, “Black tea ferment, also known as Kombucha, is an advanced antioxidant that helps to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals while softening, smoothing, and enhancing luster. The formula is further enriched with lychee seed extract, known to support natural collagen, firming polysaccharides that help to smooth the skin, and jicima root juice, notable for its hydrating and nourishing properties.” However, when I seen their price tag online on the Sephora web site, I almost choked. For 100 ml of product, this mask retails for $112 CAD! Honestly, I liked the mask but not enough to spend that much money on it. Over a year ago, I did use a sample of their Black Tea Age Delay Cream that I featured in my September Empties and did like it, but once again, it is more on the expensive side as it retails for $115 CAD for 50 ml of product.

Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths: Brightening (10 cloths) - This came as part of the On-the-Glow Essentials set that was purchased during Black Friday. You are getting 10 quilted cloths that have both Vitamin C and Coq10. They feel great on the skin and do a wonderful job at removing my makeup but the larger pack contains 30 cloths for $19 CAD. There is no way that I am going to be spending that kind of money to use a cloth for only a few seconds to help remove my makeup and then throw it in the trash. These are great and my only complaint is the hefty price tag. 

Body

Peter Thomas Roth Strawberry Scrub - Fruit Enzyme Polisher (250 ml) - This was nice to use in the shower and who doesn’t love the smell of strawberries? I felt that I used this up fairly quickly and one bottle retails for $38 USD on the Sephora web site but for whatever reason, they do not sell the individual bottle on the Canadian web site, just the American Sephora. I got this in the Hall of Fame Kit that retails for $44 CAD which is such a great deal because the kit has a value of $120 CAD!

Dove Go Fresh Cool Essentials Antiperspirant Stick (14 g - travel size) - If you have been following my blog for a few months now, you will remember that I featured the aerosol version of this same exact scent in my September Empties. I loved the smell but wasn’t the biggest fan of the aerosol feature and that’s why I only bought the travel sized version in stick form. I also do not have to reapply the product nearly as much as I did with the aerosol can. I only apply it once in the morning and then I reapply if I am extremely sweaty or if I have been super active that day - that’s it. I really do like both the scent as well as the scent and I will be going to the store to purchase the larger version very soon!

Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Fresh Balsam (259 ml) - This is a great scent as it reminds me of a Christmas Tree and green is my favourite colour therefore, I was a little biased when I selected this hand soap in-store. The Gentle Foaming Hand Soap is my favourite formula that Bath & Body Works has in terms of their soaps.

Bath & Body Works Scentportable in Lavender Vanilla (6 ml) - This scent is perfect for fall and smells very clean! It isn’t one of my all-time favourite scents but it does the job and I have nothing negative to say about it.

Teeth

Exact Dental Floss Picks (36 count) - These are mint flavoured and they were extremely cheap at Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS.) They are great quality and can last you over a month if you use one floss pick every day. They work for my teeth and they are quite durable as they do not break or snap when using them. 

Supplements/Drink

Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies with Biotin (80 count) - This has been a long time favourite of mine and I swear by them! I take two a day and I have another post 'All About My Nails' where I talk about them more in-depth that you can check out! I also urge you to take the 30-Day Hair, Skin & Nail Challenge!

David’s Tea Hot Tropic Cowabunga! Fruit Fusion (65 grams) - This honestly wasn’t my favourite tea and it had a weird taste that sugar couldn’t even help. The ingredients inside include: Apple, Mango, Raisins, Cinnamon, Coconut Chips, Star Anise, Vanilla and some others. The packaging is cute but I wouldn’t recommend this tea due to the taste.

Other/Miscellaneous

Equate Quilted Pads (100 count) - This was actually purchased from Wal-Mart in a 3-pack. These are excellent cotton rounds that do not break when you are using them. I also like the Up & Up brand’s cotton rounds from Target but since we no longer have any Target stores in Canada, these are my go-to!

Samples/Promo

Teeth

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Gel (1) & Desensitizing Gel (2) (3 ml) - I do have an entire blog post dedicated to my experience whitening my teeth to achieving a whiter smile in just 5 days using Smile Brilliant. This system really does work and I recently discovered it again after I was decluttering my space. I forgot how much that I really loved using it! The only thing I do not like is that the label on several of my syringes started peeling off which was annoying when using it because it just got in the way.

Oral B Complete Toothbrush - This was given to me by my Dental Hygienist and it gives my teeth a nice deep clean! Oral B is a great brand and I love the soft, gentle bristles on their brushes! I usually replace my toothbrush every 2-3 months as recommended because I like using a fresh, new toothbrush whenever I can! 

Fragrance

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum (1.2 ml) - This perfume actually reminds me of a German perfume that my Grandma loves and buys every now and again. This is the first perfume by the duo and it comes in 6 different sizes which is amazing because not all perfumes offer that many options. The notes include: Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia and Patchouli. It isn’t overly floral and it has a bit of spice to it which I like. It lingers throughout the day which is something that I look for in every perfume that I potentially plan on purchasing! I remember when Wale came out with the song Lotus Flower Bomb and I immediately thought of the fragrance!

Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette (1.5 ml) - Even though this is a sample, I hate that this doesn’t have a spray feature and that you have to carefully put some perfume onto yourself. Anyway, the notes are: “Geranium, Pink Pepper, Lilac, Peach, Amber, Patchouli.” The scent is described as, “Modern. Electric. Romantic.” I have heard so many different people rave about this perfume as it seems to be a favourite and I wanted to understand what the hype was all about. This would be a great scent to add to any perfume collection and it would be great to display on your vanity as the bottle is gold with the iconic G logo. It is a great sultry, sexy scent that is perfect for a night out on the town!

Alien by Thierry Mugler Eau de Parfum (1.2 ml) - I had never heard of this perfume before, but I had heard of Angel by Mugler in the past. This has a warm floral scent to it and the notes include: “Jasmine Sambac, Cashmeran Wood, Amber Gris.” The full sized version of this bottle is absolutely stunning and the purple with the gold accents really caught my eye! This is rather strong when you first apply it and 2 sprays is more than enough. It does fade down pretty quickly and it lingers throughout the day which I love! This is a warm, sultry and rather bold fragrance in my honest opinion.

Other/Miscellaneous

Royale Signature 3 Ply Kleenex (10 count) - These are great for having in your purse for all kinds of situations, especially for those unexpected emergencies! I always try to have a pack in my purse at all times. I love the 3 ply tissues and I already have a new pack in my purse!

Excel Naturally Sweetened Gum in Spearmint & Peppermint - I really disliked the texture of this gum. It was thick and it got tasteless as well as hard rather quickly. I couldn’t chew it for more than a few minutes. The taste is always consistent with Excel but I would recommend the ones in the packs where you pop out a piece of gum. I was glad to finish these up and wouldn’t even think of purchasing them in the future. My friends also did not like this gum at all. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Top 3 Most Used Facial Cleansers

Hey everyone! I have been on a skincare kick lately and I have been trying out a ton of products! I have two affordable cleansers and one high-end product to show you. I wanted to share with you ones that have been working for my oily skin and which ones I recommend that you check out! 

Bioré Baking Soda Pore Cleanser - I originally tried a deluxe sample of this that I featured in one of my Empties blog posts, and liked it so much that I went to the store to purchase a larger size. I got mine at Wal-Mart on sale and this bottle cost me between $5-$8. It is very affordable and I love the way that it cleans my skin! It also does a great job at removing my makeup at night.

GLAMGLOW THIRSTYCLEANSE Daily Hydrating Cleanser - I purchased this when I was at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale and it was buy one get one free! This is the travel size which retails for $16 CAD for 30 ml on the Sephora site. For the largest size, you get 150 ml of product for $43 CAD. This does an excellent job at removing my makeup at night! I love that it has a pump and the packaging is really eye-catching. This is a mud to foam cleanser and this is perfect to use in the Winter when your skin is more dehydrated. If you do have dry skin, I wouldn't recommend this cleanser because some people claim that it can really dry out your skin, but since I have oily skin, it works very well for my skin type.

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Balm - I also featured it on on my YouTube channel as I have an entire video on it comparing it to another cleansing balm. I also like the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm but this one is more cost effective. I love the Camomile scent and it is very easy to use. This cleansing balm melts away your makeup leaving it petal-soft! I paid $8 CAD for my tin because The Body Shop was having a 50% off site-wide sale when I placed my order. You get 90 ml of product and it is very gentle on the skin!

I also want to give a shout-out to the Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel. It does a great job at removing my makeup and does not irritate my skin. I used up a smaller bottle already that I featured in my October Empties. Both bottles came in 2 different Peter Thomas Roth sets from Sephora.

Most Reached for Face Masks & Sleeping Masks

Hey everyone! I was never really into using face masks until recently and now I am obsessed! Here are a few of the ones that have been working for me.

Sephora Algae Sleeping Mask - I have a dedicated blog post to this Algae Sleeping Mask that you get many uses out of and it only costs $5 CAD. I really like the light scent and it help to detoxify as well as cleanse the skin. There are different masks that serve a different purpose and you can see which one is right for you on the Sephora site. It isn't greasy at all on the skin and absorbs rather quickly. I would definitely purchase this again and you basically apply a thin layer onto your face at night. You then wake up in the morning and wash off the remainder. It leaves your skin feeling very soft and hydrated!

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask - This is designed for all skin types and this has a light fragrant scent to it. This is a gel sleeping mask that really helps hydrate your skin while you sleep. Some ingredients inside this wonderful Sleeping Mask include: orange flower, rose, and sandalwood which help to relax and rejuvenate. The full size version is $30 CAD for 2.7 oz on the Sephora web site which is a fair price in my honest opinion. I did hear that they changed the formula and the old formula is better which makes me a little bit skeptical because I'm not sure if I have the old or new formula in my travel sized container. This is a Korean skincare company which is part of Amore Pacific. Laneige also has a Lip Sleeping Mask that I am very intrigued to try-out and I did use up a travel size jar of the Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask that I found to be just alright. It didn't do anything groundbreaking to change my skin and if you do not like yogurt, I wouldn't recommend this product to you; It does have the consistency of yogurt and it does smell similar to it.

I did use a sample from Sephora of the GLAMGLOW GRAVITYMUD Firming Treatment that I featured in my December Empties and I really enjoyed using it! It is a peel off mask and it changes colour once it starts drying on your face. This is great for: Dry, Normal, Combination and Oily skin types. It is recommend to use this mud-based mask twice a week as a full face mask and it will help tighten your skin. I am definitely considering purchasing the full sized version once I use up all of my other masks! The full sized version retails for $79 CAD on the Sephora web site and you get 1.4 oz of product in one purple branded jar. I also tried the YOUTHMUD TINGLEXFOLIATE Treatment and I did not like it as much as the other mask. It dried extremely fast like in 5 minutes or so with a light layer applied all over the face. It had some chunks in the formula that I'm guessing were the Green Tea Leaf Pieces and that made it rather messy to wash off. It is still a good mask, it just wasn't my favourite. If you want to try it, Sephora has the 15 ml jar for $24 CAD that you can purchase online. You will get 3-5 uses out of it depending on how much you use.  

I don't have any on hand, but I absolutely love the Sheet Masks from The Face Shop. They are the best sheet masks that I have ever used and I do have an entire dedicated post about these wonderful Sheet Masks.

Until next time,

All About GLAMGLOW

Hey everyone! I have tried out some samples from Sephora in the past from the brand GLAMGLOW, and I finally purchased a few items when I was at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale a few weeks ago. I have done some research and wanted to share it with my readers! 

GLAMGLOW was founded in 2010 by Glenn & Shannon Dellimore  and the brand was exclusively used backstage in Hollywood by professionals. Their patented TEAOXI real leaf technology has not only won them many beauty awards, but it has also given them a great reputation around the globe. 

I have recently used a sample of their GRAVITYMUD Firming Treatment mask and I absolutely loved it! It is a peel-off mask and it changes colour on your face as you wait for it to dry. I loved the results that it gave me and I will definitely be purchasing the full sized version when I run out of my other masks. 

I tried a sample of the YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment mask from Sephora and liked it so much that I purchased it when I was at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale! 

It was $10 for the jar and this is a great mask for those who have: fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, dullness as well as an uneven skin texture. This mask will brighten, smooth, tighten, minimize pores and give your skin a more youthful appearance. 

The POWDERMUD DualCleanse Treatment is a mud to oil cleansing treatment for your face. This is a great mask for those who suffer from: dryness, oiliness, dullness and uneven skin texture. 

You want to apply a thin layer to dry skin and to get the mud transform into oil, all you do is get your face wet then use circular motions to transform it into an oil cleansing treatment. 

You are almost getting a 2-in-1 treatment and this will help get rid of any weekly build-up on your skin.

The THIRSTYCLEANSE Daily Hydrating Cleanser is a mud to foam cleanser that is perfect for dry or dehydrated skin. This is great for me to use in the winter time when the temperature is below 0 degrees celsius.

The 1 oz size is great to travel with and make sure that you don't try to use this product as a mask because it is in-fact a cleanser! It cleanses your skin thoroughly and can even remove makeup. I absolutely love that it has a pump!

Until next time,

Estee Lauder Makeup Sale & Town Shoes Warehouse Sale 2016

Hey everyone! Yesterday, I attended the very first Town Shoes Warehouse Sale in Mississauga and right after that, I went to the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale in Markham! I wanted to share with you all of the awesome deals that I found at both sales! 

Town Shoes Warehouse Sale

Uggs Women’s Bailey II Button Boots (S/N 5803)

Paid: $63 CAD

Retail: $210 CAD

Savings: $147 CAD

Hunter Regent Unisex Black Wellington Boots (Similar Style)

Paid: $54 CAD

Retail: $180 CAD

Savings: $126 CAD

 On the racks, it was organized by size. There were some tables towards the front that were organized by brand such as a table with all Hunter boots and another table that had only UGG boots.

Everything at this warehouse sale was 70% off the original retail price!

They were also selling: purses, scarves, slippers and other accessories, but none of them caught my eye.

This is how the warehouse looks like and as you can tell by the photo, they have put up gates so that no one other than those working in that area can access it. They had plenty of stock and their first ever Town Shoes Warehouse Sale was a success!

Estee Lauder Makeup Sale

You need a ticket to enter this sale as it by invitation only. It happens only a few times a year. There are different colour tickets for the different days of the sale.

I waited in-line for about 1 hour and 10 minutes which wasn't too bad. My friend went on the Friday and had to wait for 2 hours just to enter the sale! 

Here are some of their rules and restrictions in-case you are wondering.

They have one sample out and they do write the brand as well as the shade for you. You are able to swatch these. When you find a shade that you like, there are papers provided and you simply write the number down on your paper. 

I highly recommend that you bring your own pen because the pencils provided either go missing or are constantly in use!

Once you found everything in that section that you want to purchase, you then line-up and give your paper to one of the workers. They then go based on the number that you have written down on your paper, and get the corresponding products for you. They put the paper in the bag with your chosen items and seal it. They then give it back to you and you can continue shopping. All the products must be in a bag when you purchase them. Also, if an item is sold out, they do update it on the table to let the customers know that they are out of it.

$4 Bins

This particular section can get crazy. It is the $4 section and everything here is $4 per item. You can find some great items here that are fabulous stocking stuffers! 

What I Purchased:

I had a feeling that I would find some great items today and I was right! I was most excited to purchase the GLAMGLOW products! I saved quite a bit of money and I can't wait to try out these products for you!

Outside the building, there were these bales of hay that were spray painted! I absolutely loved them and got my friend to take a picture of me with them after we had finished shopping. 

All that shopping made us quite hungry and we went to eat some dinner at a restaurant that I have been wanting to try-out for a few months now! It is called Smash Kitchen & Bar and it is located in Unionville. I got the Smash Burger with fries and my friend ordered the L.A. Mac & Cheese without the bacon because she is a vegetarian. The Mac & Cheese was very rich and creamy. It was absolutely delicious! My burger had a double patty and it was cooked excellently! We both ate all of our food and our only complaint is that we wished that there was a location closer to us! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
