L'Occitane Free Gift Trio

Hey everyone! I stopped in at my local L'Occitane store yesterday and wanted to share with you what I received inside my little gift box!

They are having a promotion for those who signed-up online to receive their newsletter (there was an 8 day window from February 1st-9th.) If you already received your email, you can redeem your own box in-store that contains 3 travel sized items! The best part is that you were able to refer friends as well as family members to spread the love! They also gave me a unique code for $10 off my next purchase of $35 or more which was unexpected but appreciated. I posted my unique code here for whoever wants to save $10 off their next order. The first person to use it gets it!

What's Inside?
- Shea Cleansing Oil with 5% Shea (30 ml)
- Shea Butter Hand Cream with 20% Shea (10 ml)
- Immortelle Divine Cream (4 ml)

I have used their Shea Butter Hand Cream before which I really do like and their Divine Cream is luxurious as well as great for the skin. I have never tried their Cleansing Oil and I am excited to try that out! This is honestly a great incentive to be a subscriber to their newsletter and in-case you didn't know, the 30 ml hand cream alone retails for $12 on the L'Occitane web site!

If you already received the email, make sure to redeem your free gift by February 28th because that is the cut-off date. There are only a certain amount of gift boxes allotted per store as they operate on a first-come basis so keep that in-mind! You can only redeem your gift box at the location you pre-selected and you need to show ID (driver's license, health card, etc) in-store. They will ask you a few simple questions while you are there such as your date of birth as well as your phone number, and then you get a free beautifully packaged gift! It is one per person and each person has a unique gift code. You can either print off the email or show it to the sales associate on your mobile device. I redeemed mine in Canada as this is a Canadian offer and I'm not sure if the USA is doing this as well. 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

My Current Go-To Sheet Masks | The Face Shop |

Hey everyone! I have been using sheet masks now for a few years and want to give you some information on them! They are very convenient and you can take them when you travel because they will fit into your carry-on or purse no problem! If you are feeling brave, you can even use them on the plane to add that moisture into your skin that the airplane depletes your skin of.

 I have been particularly liking the sheet masks from The Face Shop recently because: they are affordable (the ones pictured above are only $2.00 CAD,) there are a wide variety to choose from, each one serves a purpose for the skin (i.e.. illuminating, moisturizing, etc...) and they are very easy to use as they even have directions on the back of the package.

I use these after I have washed my face. I usually use a nose strip, tone my face and then go in with one of these sheet masks from The Face Shop. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then you  discard the mask into the trash. You will notice that there is leftover 'essence' on your face. You do not want to wash that off your face, instead, you pat it into your face to let your skin absorb those beneficial ingredients. I then go in with an under eye cream and go to bed. I generally use a sheet mask once a week.

I have been really getting great results from using these sheet masks as they have definitely helped my skin look more refreshed and awake. They have even helped me deal with some of my pimples! I have been giving away these amazing sheet masks to my friends as gifts because they worked so well for me and want them to have this great experience too! Of course there are a wide variety of sheet masks from various brand names that serve different purposes, but these sheet masks from The Face Shop have been my favourite as of lately.

I have not yet used this 3-Step Programming Kit. Let me know if you have used it and what results you received! The packaging is rather large as you can see in the photo above when my hand is used to show how wide the packaging really is.

I featured this in my September Empties | 2016 blog post!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

How To Get Glowing Smooth Summer Skin

Hey everyone! I like to keep my routine simple and these two items give me the smoothest, healthiest looking glow possible during the warmer months!

This dynamic duo consists of Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer in Fair to Medium. You can pick this up at your local drugstore for under $10 CAD. I have been using this product for over 10 years and I can't be without it! It gives you the perfect glow, it doesn't smell of harsh chemicals and feels great on the skin! It gives you a nice subtle tan within a few days. TIP: Don't forget to wash your hands after applying it to your body and it is best to apply it after you exfoliate.

The other product that I enjoy using is my epilator. I am currently using the Emjoi Emagine. I have used several epilators over the past 6-7 years and this one has to be my favourite. There are 72 tweezer heads and there are two speeds. If you aren't familiar with what an epilator is, it basically grabs the hair from the root and leaves you with smooth skin with no stubble. This is an electric device that comes with an adaptor that you simply plug into the wall. It may hurt the first few times you use it but you quickly get used to it and the results speak for themselves! Your hair will grow back slower than if you had shaved and the hairs themselves will be thinner.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Lise Watier HydraForce Product Review

Hey everyone! Lise Watier recently came out with a new cream that is called Hydraforce and it is a Hydra-Protective Comforting Cream. It is very hydrating and is perfect for the unpredictable weather conditions that we as Canadians have to deal with. The featured ingredient is the Gaspe Algae Extract which helps acts as a barrier from harsh environments.

Packaging
I really liked the design that they came out with for this particular product. The lid is white and then there is blue ombre fading into white towards the top. There is some weight to this product but I wouldn’t necessarily consider it to be heavy. It is rather small and won’t take up much room on your vanity. It is such a beautiful jar that you will want to definitely display it for others to see!

Price

The cream is 45 ml or 1.5 FL OZ and I must say that a little bit does go a long way! It retails for $45 CAD on Lise Watier web site. 

Pros

There is a very light scent that is pleasant and not overwhelming. It is very lightweight and it left my skin remarkably softer. It really did help my makeup glide on that much smoother. I find that it really does protect my skin in the cold Canadian weather which is a major key that I look for in all my moisturizers. 

The App

They also came out with a fun app called Hydra-Detect that is available for both iPhone and Android users. It is free to download and is very simple to use. You follow the prompts on the screen and they will show you your results! I have attached some screen shots down below so that you can see exactly how the app works! You start off by plugging in the cord to access your device's microphone. There are two sensors on the external device and you put them onto your skin and wait for your test results! As you can see from the screen shots, my hands were extremely dry and after applying one layer of cream, my hydration level instantly went up!

Overall

I think that this is a great product and I really enjoyed using it. The formula is exceptional in my opinion and I can honestly say that because I have used a lot of different creams for my face both low-end and also high-end. After using this, I can’t leave my house without wearing my HydraForce moisturizer! Also, this was my first item that I have ever tried out from Lise Watier and now I want to try out others from this brand! It was the perfect introductory product.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

The 30-Day Hair, Skin & Nails Challenge

Hey everyone! As you know, I am a huge supporter of Nature's Bounty products (as you can tell by the photo,) and you have probably seen them featured in many of my blog posts. They can be seen mentioned in my monthly empties, my current vanity set-up and also, I dedicated a whole post to them a little while ago that you should definitely check out! I came across this magazine spread in in March issue of Chatelaine and immediately became intrigued by The 30-Day Challenge!

The challenge is that Nature's Bounty is giving you 30 days to feel more beautiful from both the inside as well as the outside. All you need to do is take two gummies every single day to get your day started right! The strawberry flavour tastes delicious and they are very easy to consume daily. I usually purchase my bottle of Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails (which contains 80 gummies,) at Wal-Mart. They recently came out with a Value Size that contains 165 gummies which is a little bit more than double the smaller sized bottle! I absolutely love the look of their packaging and that is why I display it proudly on my vanity. These bottles do not belong in the cupboards by any means!

I have been using this product constantly for over a year now and I can honestly say that they have been working for me! My nails are a lot stronger than what they used to be and they look healthy! My nails do grow quite quickly and can get rather long! I have actually been asked by strangers about my nails many times and I always recommend them to this particular product because it has worked wonders for me! As far as my hair goes, it is a lot shinier and it grows more quickly with the help of these fabulous vitamins! And for my my skin, I can proudly walk out of my house without makeup because I know that it will be looking its best!

I would also urge you to try The 30-Day Challenge if you are up for it! These gummies provide an excellent source of Vitamin C, E and Biotin! Of course it would be wise to consult with a doctor prior to using these vitamins if you have any concerns.

They are also offering a coupon for $5 off your next purchase!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
