About Me

My photo
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~!

The Balm Cosmetics

The Balm Cosmetics


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.

The Balm Cosmetics is at selected London Drugs~
