Thank you guys!

Yesterday I received my leaderboard prize for being in the top 3 and I got to use it tonight!!!!
First I just want to say I am just so thankful š¤ to all of my followers and supporters for cheering me on. I am crazy overwhelmed (in a good way) with all the love ā¤ļø I have received since being a part of this community.
Not to mention I am so close to 6k Followers and I just can believe it!! I have been such a hermit for a while, I was not even an avid social media user. I decided to start doing little things for my self with skincare and makeup, then one day I stumbled across Cherie and things just changed. I went from just cheering and saving posts that interested me, to my first post, to a large following and actual friends. This was all so unexpected and a such a blessing. I found myself again aside from being a mother and wife. I found self love and began a much needed journey of self care.
Also thank you Cherie!! This app has given me a lot of joy. The support you guys give is amazing! Just being on the leaderboard was such an honor and now there are gifts! You guys rock! Thank you again!
This oils is so lush!
HERBIVORE - Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil
Contains hemp-derived Cannabis sativa seed + adaptogenic herbs to soothe, hydrate, and gives a nice glow.
This product is high in moisture making it Perfect for the coming dry months.
Contains mushrooms and turmeric to defend skin against the environment and reduce wrinkles.
At $48 this could possibly replace my Sunday Riley oil....because that stuff is super expensive!!! I love it but my wallet doesnāt! However this Emerald oil it a great replacement honestly and itās not as heavy an oil. There is not a huge difference in the heaviness but it is noticeable to me. I also like how the scent fades, the Luna oil does not. Really a wonderful prize! Thank you !šš„°

When in doubt,
Pull out your spooky season skincare š
If your like me, and couldnāt create a Halloween makeup look to save my life.. grab your best pumpkin coloured skincare and spooky soundtrack instead and get your self care on š§”
I have the driest lips in southwestern Ontario and surrounding areas Iām pretty sure. So Iām excited to start using the LOLI - Plum Elixirto help save my dry chapped lips!
The OLAPLEX - No. 7 Bonding Oil is a total holy grail for me. This hair oil is amazing, it makes my hair so easy to brush, tames frizz, repairs dead ends and shows instant results. Plus, I use this atleast every other day if not more and Iāve barely made a dent in it!
And lastly the HERBIVORE - Phoenix Rosehip Anti-Aging Face Oil for Dry Skin, a super hyped herbivore product. The spookiest thing about this little guy is the price point haha, the full size sitting at $115 CAD. I donāt find myself reaching for it as much because of the price and find myself using their emerald facial oil a lot more.

Face Mask for Sensitive Skin š§š»āāļø
Itās sometimes hard to find face mask that are dedicated to sensitive skin. Most masks Iāve come across, are formulated to combat acne & exfoliation. This is why I was super excited to try out the FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair Oatmeal Mask ! This mask is formulated with Colloidal Oatmeal and Avena Sativa Oat Bran with Botanical Antioxidants, all aimed at repairing and reviving your skin.
After thoroughly washing my skin, I apply this onto my face and leave on for 10 mins. The consistency is creamy, thick, and has little oatmeal fragments in it. It is unscented, but because of the oatmeal and vanilla extract, there is a slightly āsweetā scent it gives off.
After removing the mask, I follow up with my The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% or The Ordinary - Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 , and then the HERBIVORE - Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil to help soothe any other irritation.
This mask retails for about $25, which is fairly reasonable for a well-formulated and effective product. I have yet to find a mask that works the way this does, so for now, there is no other product I can truly compare this to. However, this will continue being a staple in my skin cabinet.
Whats your favorite mask for sensitive skin? Would love to know your suggestions xoxo

Review time!
Today I wanted to spotlight rayna.skincare Stem Cell and Lipid Active Oil.
I have been using the oil for about 2 months on nights I am not using my DE A-Passioni.
A little about the company and product.
Rayna is a New Zealand company founded Eva Evguenieva.
Its a naturally derived oil blend of superfood seed oils such as Argan, Acai, Tsubaki, Strawberry, Meadowfoam, Sea Buckthorn and Sunflower oil.
It also contains Granactive retinol, which is why I use it on alternating days with my other retinol.
One of their star ingredients is the patented SWT-7TM derived from the traditional medicinal Ayurvedic Himalaya herb Swertia Chirata. In Clinical studies this stem cell technology has shown to stimulate growth factor production, epidermis regeneration and thickness and blur the appearance of vertical wrinkles.
The Company is also big on supporting Woman and raised money for Womans Refuge in NZ.
Swipe to see full ingredients, it really does have a lovely oil blend.
My Experience.
Its medium weight and a little really does go a long way I use about 3-5 drops.
Its got a very carrier oil earthy smell, wouldn't say it smelt nice but not bad either.
At first I thought it was just like any other oil but after more continued use I was waking up to nice hydrated smooth skin. I know this sounds weird but I could actually feel it being active on my skin.
So I am really enjoying this oil and so glad I got to experience using it. Still have 2/3 left so can enjoy it for a bit longer!
indeed LABORATORIES - Squalane Facial Oil
I saw this at the drugstore and wanted to try it. It cost $19.99 CAD at shoppers drug mart.
I love trying out new face oils. While compared to The Ordinary, this is a bit more expensive, I was still intrigued.
This Squalane is 100% sugarcane-derived.
Itās silicone, paraben, Sulfate, fragrance, colourant-free. Itās also alcohol free, vegan, and not tested on animals :)
If youāre not familiar with Squalane, it is naturally present in our skin. It helps prevent moisture loss.
My Thoughts:
Iāve enjoyed this product quite a bit. Itās light-weight, and fast absorbing and leaves my skin feeling soft.
This product claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skinās moisture. While I havenāt noticed much in the way of fine lines and wrinkles as I donāt have many at the moment, I will say it has helped retain moisture :)
I love that Squalane is non-comedogenic and Iāve certainly noticed that with this product. Iāve also noticed that itās not irritating which makes me think it would be great for anyone with sensitive skin.
Because itās light weight you donāt feel like youāre putting on an oil. It doesnāt leave my skin feeling greasy and it absorbs quickly.
How To Use:
Apply 1-2 drops (or however many you prefer) to cleansed skin in the AM or PM. You can also use this in your hair for added moisture!
Benefits:
instantly hydrates & locks in essential moisture
improves skin tone and texture
plumps skin and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
strengthens skin barrier to decrease water loss
leaves skin feeling exceptionally smooth & soft
hydrates face, body, and hair

Oils, serums, and acids OH MY!
I know I told you guys about my hyaluronic acid find but I wanted to share some more oils n things in my collection that I am obsessed with right now.
From left to right:
My current Tea Tree Essential oil. Picked up in Boulder, CO a couple weeks ago while road tripping to treat some bug bites I got in Utah. If you ever find yourself in Boulder CO make sure you go to Rebeccaās Apothecary. Her store is seriously an herbalist or witchy or naturalists WET DREAM.
if you dont already know about Tea Tree, let me give you a quick run down.
Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca, is well-known for its powerful antiseptic properties and ability to treat wounds, which is why itās one of the top antibacterial essential oils. Tea tree is a volatile essential oil derived mainly from the Australian native plant Melaleuca alternifolia. Itās been widely used throughout Australia for at least the past 100 years and for over seven decades, itās been documented in numerous medical studies for its ability to kill many strains of bacteria, viruses and fungi.REBECCA'S - Tea Tree Oil
Life-Flo Pure Rose Hip Seed Oil- Main benefits: Brightens and evens out the skin, regenerates and heals, helps with anti-aging, elasticity, and collagen production. Also fun fact- it is LOVED by the Duchess Kate Middleton and Gwynieh Paltrow . So you know itās good. Life-flo - Pure Rosehip Seed Oil, Skin Care
Pure Hyaluronic Acid- We all know about this baby and its amazing skin benefits!
Derma E Anti Wrinkle Oil- Rosehip and Grapeseed Oil with Vitamins A &E.
This is another Oil I have kind been using all over. On my road trip, traveling through so many different regions and climates, my skin started to get weird dry splotches in various places on my arms and legs. So on top of using this as one of the oils in an oil concoction I have been using daily, I have been putting this on the dry patches and it seems to alleviate within a day or two.
DERMAā¢E - Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A & E Treatment Oil
DERMAā¢E- Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A & E Treatment Oil
Thereās a new girl on the block and her name is the Radiance āØ I only just began using her, so Iām going to give some super quick first impressions.
I use this twice a day before moisturizer. It absorbs really, really well into my skin and it smells like green tea! Itās a calming scent for me, and I love that in a product. I believe that this is a kind of do-it-all vitamin for your face, so my routine is pretty minimal with this being the shining star! I canāt wait to (hopefully) see some results in a few weeks, and I update again then! š«
BEAUTYBIO-The Radiance Brightening Vitamin E + Rosehip Seed Facial Oil
BeautyBio āThe Radianceā Facial Oil along with a GloPRO
I recently started testing them out but wanted to take a minute to write a first impressions review...
At first, the GloPRO can seem a little intimidating; itās covered in tiny spikes (theyāre actually 0.3 mm needles), it rolls, lights up and vibrates. The purpose is to stimulate collagen and elastin production and enhance the penetration of actives.
I have started with twice per week use and I follow the instructions *very* closely. I cleanse, prep my face with one of the provided pads, roll each area for precisely 60s and, carefully disinfect the device with 70% isopropyl alcohol (Fun fact: 70% is the optimal concentration for killing bacteria - higher concentrations are actually less effective). When rolling, I apply almost no pressure. Just enough to hold the roller against my face. It feels a little prickly but not at all painful.
Afterwards, I apply my regular PM skincare with a few modifications. Through trial and error Iāve learned anything with a pH on the more acidic side (like Protini) should be avoided, as should anything with brightening/exfoliating acids, including toners and essences. My skin responds best to gentle skin repairing serums and facial oils.
BeautyBio does provide their own creams and serums to be used afterwards, but I want to give the GloPRO a solid try with my usual regime first. Why? Well, if I see amazing results (or have a poor reaction) itāll be simple to conclude the GloPRO is responsible.
Of the other products I received, the only one Iāve tried so far is The Radiance Facial Oil. This oil really is lovely! It is lightweight, absorbs quickly and leaves behind a velvety finish. In fact, it absorbs so well that I like to layer it underneath my moisturizer (rather than on top). The scent very mild but absolutely divine. Honesty, I need it in candle form!

Herbivore Botanicals EMERALD Deep Moisture Glow Oil.
Hemp feels pretty trendy lately but honestly hemp has been ātrendyā since the 90s at least. Back then it was more hemp products (who else remembers making hemp necklaces?) now it seems hemp oil is the popular product coming from the cannabis plant. Hemp seed oil is the same as cannabis sativa seed oil. I find itās a light yet nourishing and balancing oil.
I actually quite like hemp oil in my facial oils. Itās even become one of my favorites this year. Hemp uses the seeds only and not the plant so the oil does not have THC & itās completely legal
Hemp seed oil actually has all 21 amino acids and a balanced ratio of 3:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids. Itās also rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids like gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), oleic acid and stearidonic acid which all help inflammation and things like atopic dermatitis.
This makes hemp a balanced healing oil. Hemp oil also has antioxidants like vitamin E, carotene (precursor to vitamin A), phytosterols & phospholipids. Do you need any more reasons to love hemp oil? Probably not as itās an amazing oil on itās ownļ¼
