Latest Loves: November 2014

Yves Rocher Cacao & Orange Shower Gel, $4: Typically I don’t get too excited over shower gel, I really just look for something that will get the job done. This one though… oh wow. It smells incredible—like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange (you know—the “smack and unwrap” one). It’s the type of luscious scent that you can enjoy in the shower, but doesn’t linger so you don’t smell like dessert later in the day. Also, the price is totally unbeatable, so it would make a great gift for any Terry’s lovers on your list this Christmas. yvesrocher.ca

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, $37: Remember a little while ago when I vowed to stop scrubbing my face? Well, I’ve stuck with it! I also discovered this amazing daily peel pads in the process and they’ve become a must-have in my bathroom. They have just the right amount of lactic & glycolic acids to effectively exfoliate and brighten my skin without causing irritation. I use them every night (yep—even with sensitive, reactive skin like mine!) and wake up with glowing skin. sephora.com

Victoria’s Secret Scandalous Eau de Parfum, $58: First of all, can I just say that I wish every bottle came with a squeeze puff to spray it? I just feels so much more luxurious and fun! This bottle not only has one (decorated with silky, black ribbon) but it smells amazing too—definitely my favorite VS scent to date. It’s super fruity with a touch of floral and a hint of sweetness (designed for a romantic date night, for sure). victoriasecret.com

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Pink Toothbrush, $229: Typically I don’t rave about toothbrushes over here, but I couldn’t help but mention this one. Not only is it a top-of-the-line sonic toothbrush that cleans, polishes, whitens and massages better than any toothbrush I’ve ever used, but OMG it’s the prettiest pink too. You know that silky smooth, clean feeling you get straight out of the dentist’s chair? This one delivers that day after day (plus the fact the charger is a sleek glass or a travel case is SO cool). amazon.ca

Guerlain Petrouchka Palette for Eyes & Blush, $108: Luxury meets practicality with this eye & cheek palette. It’s so tiny—the size of a powder compact—but it has so many options! Five, gorgeous neutral eyeshadows on top and four blushes below in a variety of shades and textures. The pans might be a little small, but it’s certainly a refined travel companion and it will be getting a lot of love as I head home this Holiday season. sephora.com
