Today’s post is a little bit different! I’ve discovered several great new products lately, so I wanted to share some of my favourites. In no particular order, here’s some of my favourite products this month:

Bracelet Bar via Target

A few weeks ago, a friend and I drove out to Buffalo, because we’d both been craving a Target run. She was on the hunt for a few home decor pieces like some American wall art prints, and I was on the hunt for…whatever caught my attention. I ended up with a few great finds from the Dollar Spot, some props for my flat lays…and the West Emory Extended Bracelet Bar. I’ve been using it as a space to store my watches, since my bracelets live elsewhere. Life changing! If you’re lacking in storage for watches or bracelets, you need this.

Benefit Cosmetics – Watt’s Up!

I’ve been a fan of Benefit Cosmetics for quite a few years now, and have been using High Beam as my go-to highlighter. On a recent trip to the Drug Store, I discovered Watt’s Up! and decided to give it a try. It’s a lot easier to use than High Beam, because you can apply it directly to your face (as opposed to your hand first). It blends easily into your skin to give you the perfect dewy glow.

Benefit Cosmetics – Porefessional Face Primer (c/o)


Don’t let the name fool you. This product isn’t just great for minimizing pores! I tried Porefessional at my local drug store, and was told to try it as a replacement to my other face primer. Lo and behold, it helps to smooth out fine lines and any imperfections. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s become my go-to primer!

Benefit Cosmetics – Posie Balm (c/o)

I received Posie Balm in a gift bag a couple of weeks ago, and while it’s not my typical shade (I prefer a bolder lip), I absolutely adore the smell. It adds a lot of moisture to my lips, with just a subtle hint of pink. It’s great for layering on top of other lipsticks, which lets me create my own custom colours.

Justin’s Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Umm…no words for these, other than the fact that they’re amazing! I love that they’re not too sweet, and are the perfect size for snacking. Seriously, I’m obsessed with these!

Sahajan Skincare from Blossom Lounge (c/o)


Sahajan Skincare is a line of skin and hair products, made right here in Toronto! Their products are all organic, natural, eco-friendly…and they smell incredible. I’ve been using some samples of a few of their products, but if I had to recommend just one, it’s defintiely the face serum. The serum is unlike any other that I’ve tried. It’s a lot less oily than a typical face serum, and leaves my skin feeling super soft and healthy. Of course there are so many serums out there and it’s all about finding the one that works best for your skin type. A friend of mine recommended this Age Reverse Serum and I’m wondering how soon it’s something I might need to look into!

Have you tried any of these products before? I’d love to hear your thoughts, too!

    Those peanut butter cups look so, so good! There are fewer things in life that I love more than Reeses so you’re speaking my language here! Going to have to try them out on the new grocery run! XO
