My love and passion for the beauty industry have led me to my dream job! I am the Cosmetic Buyer for London Drugs, Canada. I work for a great company, travelling the world, following trends and buying the great products that you see in our Cosmetics departments.
Although I work for a great company and they are very supportive of Social Media Marketing, this is my own blog and therefore are my opinions about products, services and my over all expiriences.
From time to time I may even write about my other passion~ my 5 kids, 3 pets and a very patient husband!
Hope you enjoy~!
False lashes are an easy and inexpensive way to highlight your eyes and add a little glamour to your evening. You can choose how subtle or bold you want your lashes. Strip lashes or short individuals for a subtle look, and thicker strip lashes or use longer individual lashes for a sexy bold look.
Great for Weddings and Special occassions, check out the video from Elle Beauty School to show how to easily apply individual lashes.

At this time of the year I start religiously packing my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour lip balm with me everywhere. I have loved this product since the first time I used it about 20 years ago.
It's predictable...winter, my lips get dry and chapped, then I start to bite them even thought I know I will pay for it...and then appears the that dreaded cold sore!!
The reason I love this product is it heals and repairs chapped lips, reduces swelling and soothes cold sores and stops the spread of the virus.
Also try other 8 Hour products they all have amazing healing properties: 8 Hour Hand Cream, 8 Hour Skin Protectant and the 8 Hour Tinted Lip.
Elizabeth Arden also has an exclusive Loyalty Program at London Drugs. See in store for more details~
Tweezerman has a history of professional quality. Is there anything more frustrating than investing in a tweezer only to be frustrated when you cannot grab that one hair that is out of line on your perfect brow? Tweezers that allow the hair to slip through or worse when they won't grab the hair at all because they don't have that perfect contact~
We have all been in a drug store looking at the assortment of tweezers and trying to pinch them through the package to see if they are the perfect ones for us. But when it comes to Tweezerman you can be confidant the you have invested in the perfect tweezer. So much so that I have friends who have become panic stricken when they have mis-placed their precious Tweezerman tweezer. Don't believe me...? Then I challenge you to invest in a Tweezerman tweezer purchased at London Drugs. Hold on to your receipt and return it if it is not as promised. I can guarantee that you too will fall in love with Tweezerman~

Ever wonder why you cannot find Lash Curler refills anymore? It seems less and less brands are making the refills....is there a reason for forcing us to buy another Lash Curler? There is much debate over this subject.... the concern is over the cleanliness of our Lash Curlers....Yes, Yes I know we all sterilize our curlers after every use and place them in a sanitized container in between uses...really...do we?
Our eye is one of the most sensitive areas for bacteria and infection. A contaminated Lash Curler can create issues such as sty's, pink eye and more. Even with out a replaceable pad how long do you hold on to your Lash Curler? When was the last time you cleaned your curler?
I love the Balm Cosmetics! The first product that I tried was the 'Two Timer' Mascara. A double-ended mascara with 2 different mascara brushes so you can address both the volumizing and lengthening with one mascara. I loved the idea that the product gave me both applications. For this reason I went back and bought other items from the Balm.
About 6 months later I had the opportunity to go for lunch with creator Marissa Shipman and her team. This was not a traditional business lunch. I knew that Marissa was passionate about her brand but as the stories around the table unfolded one thing became clear. Most of her team did not have a background in the beauty industry. Marissa started the Balm when she couldn't find a lipbalm that she liked. The fact that she does not have a background in the beauty industry, helped drive her business and innovate her product line.
So my husband gets a cold sore, my son gets strep throat and my daughter has chapped lips. "who has the lipbalm? someone calls out....Hold on a second! Please tell me you are not all sharing the same lipbalm-
My daughter and her girlfriend are playing with make up, then her friend tells us the next day she has pink eye...
I pull out my mascara tube and notice a lash on the tip....
How many times do we over sterilize and bleach all areas of our household, wash and Purell our hands. We even blow our noses into anti bacterial Kleenex~ and while all this is going on we are using the same make up products. Do we ever take the time to think of what potential bacteria is hanging out on our make up? Let's face it we all know to replace our make up regularly to reduce contamination....but we all have a full make up case or bathroom draw that has our beloved shadows from high school. We convince ourselves that one day we may need that exact sky blue shadow...and seriously how many shades of lipstick do we need to have but never wear?
Beauty So Clean has products to sanitize everything from your make up brushes, lipsticks, mascaras and powders. Another great product available at London Drugs~
When I first saw this product, I thought it was an interesting beauty tool, but would it actually be as effective as promised.
The idea is similar to threading but easier for anyone to use. After trying it, I was very impressed. It is a great beauty tool for fine hairs that require a quick removal. Great for facial areas like upper lip, chin or neck. It does take a little more precision and practice to get a clean arched browline. Great for touch ups between your salon waxing or threading appointments.
This is also a great beauty tool for men. Great for catching those rogue hairs that seem to appear over night. You know the ones outside of the shave line, on top of ears, nose and lower neckline.
The Twist n Roll Tweezer may not be a replacement for a traditional tweezer, but it is definitely a ‘must have’ addition to your grooming tools. Available in Canada at London Drugs.
