LUSH Hair Saviours!

Hey everyone! 


Now reading the title of this post you most likely think that I am exaggerating how well these products have worked for me. I am not. I have very difficult hair, it doesn't like to cooperate with me and has a mind of its own. I have a hair type, that is curly, thick, and frizzy, so it is a super difficult hair type to work with.   

$22.95
I have had little luck with hair products making my hair styled in a consistent way. I could be using the same product twice in a row and one day my hair will look really nice and the next day I would do my hair in the exact same way but it will look completely different, and in those cases I usually end up putting my hair up. However, I have recently found products that keep my hair from acting crazy.

$12.95
So, I went to LUSH looking to pick up a few face masks like I like when one of the lovely workers complimented me on my hair. I thanked her and jokingly said something along the lines of  " Thank you, but it is difficult to manage," She asked me what I used for my hair and during this time I was experimenting with different products. She then asked if I had every used the R&B Hair Moisturizer. Well when I came up to the front with what I wanted to purchase she gave me a sample size of the R&B and I went of my merry way. Little did I know how great the product was going to be.
Not the best picture of me but this is what my hair looks like with both the R&B and Sea Spray in.
I ended up loving the R&B Hair Moisturizer sample that I got and once the sample size was gone I went back to LUSH to pick up a full pot size. While I got that I also got their Sea Spray which holds hair in place. I use both of these products daily, starting with putting the R&B moisturizer in my hair and once my hair is styled how I like it I use the Sea Spray to hold it all in place. I really like these products and if you have difficult hair like I do I highly recommend these products!

Miracle Man for Your Brows!

Hey everyone!

My week of stress if finally over! I have finished all of my midterms and some of my large assignments which were due last friday so now I am FREE! Well up until finals I guess. Anyways with the stressful week I had last week I kind of let somethings get out of control, including my eyebrows. We all have those weeks when our brows become a much lower priority and last week was that week for me.



However I was able to tidy up and correct my brows this weekend with the help of my wonderful Tweezerman tweezers. Tweezerman is simply fantastic and amazing, they are without a doubt the best tweezers you could possibly own. You know when you have a pair of tweezers that just can't seem to get all the fine and shorter hairs? Well when using Tweezerman tweezers you can get all the the nuisance strands of hair that you want gone. Plus they come in cute designs and a nice little case so they are perfect.


I honestly love mine so much, I bought mine I think around the beginning August and I will now and forever stick with Tweezerman. They are a pretty reasonable price, I think mine were around $28.00 so they seem a bit pricy but they are definitely worth it! You can get them from your local Target ( that's where I got mine), or you can go to Sephora, or your local beauty product retailer.

Anyways, that is it for today. I just wanted to share how amazing these are with all of you!

National Coming Out Day!

Hey everyone!

So I don't know if all of you know, but tomorrow, October 11 is National Coming Out Day. I wanted to make my video of this week dedicated to this day because I know that there is potentially some of you that are struggling with this so that is why I want to showcase some of the coming out videos that are on the internet. 

If you are not an LGBT person I still suggest that you watch this video because these people are so brave and inspiring people, and really have shown the world a very personal and emotional side to them. Though I am not an LGBT person, I am a very firm believer that everyone should be free to love anyone  no matter their gender. So take a few minutes out of your day and watch this video which summarizes some of the best coming out videos, or find the full videos on YouTube and see for yourself how amazing these individuals are. 


If you are having problems dealing with coming out or coming to terms that you may not necessarily be straight The Trevor Project is a really great source and there are number that you can contact on this page. Or talk to me and I will do everything I can to help you through whatever you are struggling with, my email is where my about section but I'll leave it here as well emmydlalonde@gmail.com. I love you all and I hope that you have a fantastic weekend!

Take care!

LUSH Goodies!

Hey everyone!

So today has kind of been the best day every for me! As most of you know I started by first year of university last year and I was a BAH Psychology major, but not long after starting university I knew that it was not what I wanted to do. So over all of last year and the beginning of this year I was working to switch into the Studio Art program. Well, as of today I am officially in it!! I am SO happy and excited to finally be in the program that I want to be in and not have to worry about it anymore! Anyways that is enough on that, I'm sure you want to be reading more about the LUSH goodies I just got.

A few days ago I got a text from my mom asking if I could pick her up some of the new LUSH products that are inspired by Halloween. Now for a little background story into my moms new obsession with LUSH. In my hometown Cambridge there is no LUSH store, so for a very long time we didn't know what LUSH was except for a few gifts from my Aunt that came from LUSH. Well this summer we went to Toronto for the week and of course we went shopping and well I guess you can probably see where this is going. No? Well we went to LUSH! Now I have been to Lush before this because where I'm going to University they have a LUSH in the mall, but my mom has never been to one before this summer. She looked like she was in heaven, we not only went there once in the week we were in Toronto, we went their multiple times and each time we came out with more products. Since our trip to Toronto my mom has ordered products online because she is obsessed. 

Anyways, so she texted me a few days ago asking me to pick up some of their new bath products because she knows that their is one where I am living. I am going down to her place this weekend because in Canada this weekend is Thanksgiving so because I was already planning to go down I could easily bring the goodies with me. 

So here is what I got!

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar
Wizard Bubble Bar
Northern Lights Bath Bomb
Sparkler Bath Bomb
Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb
Now, I know the Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb isn't one of the new ones but it is one of my favourties and it smells like apple cinnamon so it is kind of related to Halloween/ Fall so I decided to pick that one up as well. I am super excited to try some of these out and have somewhat of a relaxing weekend! I do have midterms to study for because I am one of the lucky ones with 3 on the first day back from the holiday, but these will definitely help me relax and stay calm for my midterms! 

This weekend is a nice little break from school and I am going back home so I have actually decided to vlog during this weekend. I haven't decided if I want to have them as daily vlogs or just one big vlog but as I start it I will see how much footage I get of my days, so I guess that is something to kind of look forward to :)

Take care! xxx

Clinque Clarifying Lotion Review!

Hey everyone!

I don't know about you but in my school recently there has been some kind of cold going around and it hit me about last Saturday. I have been super sick all week and I still have yet to get rid of the cold. I sincerely hope that you have not gotten this because  it is the WORST! Anyways... that is enough of my little rant on my very annoying and persistent cold. 


So as some of you may know, if you have been following my blog for the past couple of months I have developed a love for Clinique products. So before I just bought the Cleansing Foam form their Acne Solutions line but because i loved that so much I recently got their second step in that line and that is their Clarifying Lotion.



I have to say that I am so in love with this line of acne products. I am noticing a significant difference in my skin, I am getting less acne and even my skin tone is evening out and I couldn't be happier! The Clarifying Lotion is very gentle on the skin, you may feel a slight hot sensation but that is pretty normal for cleansers . When using it you shake it up because the lotion in the bottle will sink to the bottom after every use so make sure you shake it well, and when I use it I put about 2-3 dabs on a cotton pad and wipe my face, my chest, and my neck. After purchasing this I noticed just after a few days of using this a great difference in my skin.

Today, I will actually be adding to my collection of Clinique Acne Solutions products because I am going to be getting their step 3 All-Over Clearing Treatment. So I will soon be letting you know what that product is like!

Anyways, I hope you all have a great week and that you all stay healthy and do not get this cold that I have!

Take care! xxx
