Have you ever stayed in a hotel that you have just never wanted to leave? Somewhere so comfortable, welcoming, and just plain nice, that you would love to stay just a few days longer? Welcome to Primero Primera in Barcelona! Located in the Barcelona neighbourhood of Tres Torres, just minutes from downtown, this hotel is like a secret garden of relaxation. My boyfriend described the neighbourhood as the "Forest Hill" of Barcelona. I will preface this review with a note that generally speaking I am happy if the hotel has wifi (check), a bed (check), a hot shower (check -- lesson learned from my last Europe trip!) and access to transit (check). This hotel has all of those things, but so much more. The family that owns this hotel has lived on the first floor since 1955. In 2011 the Pérez-Sala family renovated all of the rooms while maintaining the original structure. The result is a small, boutique hotel of 30 rooms where each room is unique and timeless. When I stepped through ...

As you may know, I am currently on vacation! Today I am in London, England, and so I thought it would be fun to share a quick little post featuring one of my favourite British beauty brands!  Created by Petra Strand, Pixi launched over 10 years ago at their flagship boutique in Soho London. Rooted in skincare, Pixi's iconic Glow Tonic put them on the map.  Toady I am excited to be sharing with you a review of three of their face mists! Pixi now has a collection of 5 face mists. The  Makeup Fixing Mist  prolongs makeup wear and keeps it from moving. Infused with rose water and green tea this formula feels light on the skin and adds almost a soft-focus finish. After I finish applying my makeup I like to close my eyes and spritz my face from about 10-15 cm away from my face. I find it helps extend the wear and finish of my makeup. I actually wore this the other day to a wedding and I was so impressed by how it kept my makeup looking fresh all night! The  Hydrating ...

Too Faced is well known for their Melted Liquid Lipsticks. They also make a really good quality matte liquid lipstick. Today I am here with some old favourites and some of their new launches from that line. I love this formula because it is super light weight, and as far as liquid lipsticks go, isn't too drying on my lips. It applies like a dream. I find it has a solid wear time and doesn't let me down when it comes to how it fades. While I probably would not suggest eating a greasy burger and fries with these on, they are a champ with normal consumption and general daily use. It comes in an impressive range of shades including nudes, pastels, brights, and bolds (think dark green and indigo!). There really is a shade (or three!) for everybody. Holy Chic! Sell Out, Its Happening!, 1998, Mrs. Roper Please forgive the smuges! My cat jumped on something that I had to grab before they had a chance to dry down. So like other liquid lipsticks it stays put once its dry (shades on the r...

Hello friends! About this time last year I launched my YouTube channel. Since then I have grown my subscriber base and my skills at creating videos! I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by hosting a big giveaway! Now, I know you are all here for the giveaway. I get it, I love free makeup as much as the next person-- one of my quotes at Gen Beauty was "no makeup left behind!" But before I get on to the details of the giveaway I just wanted to share a few thoughts I have on blogging and YouTube, and a few tips I have if you are looking to create your own channel. People say that blogging will die out in favour of YouTube. I don't believe this to be true. I think there is room for both. So long as drugstores have shotty testers, there will be a girl standing in the makeup isle frantically googling for a swatch of the lipstick she is interested in. She doesn't want to watch a video. She wants a quick image. That search traffic is here to stay. But that c...

One of the best parts for me about going to Generation Beauty is getting to discover new and upcoming brands. One of those brands that I discovered at Gen Beauty LA was Flirt Cosmetics! Owned by the Estee Lauder group of companies, this lip focused brand offers quality, on trend products. Keep reading for my thoughts on their new Ombre Lip Kits! Retailing for $24 USD, each kit contains a lip liner-crayon hybrid and a highly pigmented gloss. First you sculpt your lips using the Kajal liner. Then you blend and highlight with the lip gloss. The colours come pre-matched so you don't have to worry about getting it right.  I am always obsessed with the little extras PR packages include! I love that they included a Polaroid picture of me xD Meme Lover has a dusty rose liner and a baby pink lip gloss. Neo-Femme has a plum liner and a hot pink lip gloss. No Shame has a beige-brown liner and a grey-brown gloss. Slay All Day comes with a wine hued liner and a bright candy apple red gloss...
