Marcelle Cosmetics Cheek Loving Cheek and Lip Multi Sticks Review With Swatches


#ad Canadian Brand Marcelle Cosmetics' new Cheek Loving Cheek and Lip Multi-Sticks have definitely been giving me a huge Summer Glow Up! ๐ŸŒž 


I've been using them for over a month, and they have now become a part of my daily makeup routine. They are perfect for a quick and easy makeup look. With these Multi Sticks, I can quickly do my cheeks and lips, add Marcelle's Lash Loving Mascara, and I'm out the door! I love to apply them with a dense synthetic makeup brush. They blend like a dream onto my cheeks, and I like to pat the product onto my lips using my fingers. They are buildable and have excellent staying power.


There are 2 lighter shades, which include a light coral (Gently Coral) and a highlighter shade (Perfectly Nude). My favourites are the 2 darker shades; Classically Rose which is a deeper shade, and the Lusciously Berry, which is also a deeper shade but more sheer and glowy. The 2 darker shades give me that flushed, healthy-looking summer glow that I love right now. I like to blend those shades across my cheeks and nose and even blend it up into my temples. This look is having a moment right now, and I'm here for it ๐Ÿ™Œ. I often pat some of the highlight shade onto the tops of my cheeks and brow bone. You can really have fun mixing and matching these shades!


I can honestly say these are the best cream cheek and lip products that I've used, even compared to high-end ones that I've used. They are perfect for my aging skin and give me a more youthful appearance. I am really enjoying using these and love the looks that I achieve!  

They contain skin-loving ingredients like sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and meadowfoam seed oil.

These products are paraben-free, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, dermatologist tested, vegan, and won't clog your pores. 

The price is right, and I can already tell that one tube will last forever.

Which shade is your favourite? 

Available on Marcelle.com, Amazon Canada, Walmart, and most major drugstores.

New! Garnier All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream Review



Happy Sunday, everyone!

Today, I want to share with you this exciting new skincare/makeup hybrid product that I recently started using. 

I received Garnier's new All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream in the shade Light/Medium from @topbox and @garniercan for testing purposes and I have to say, I've been loving it!

This product is perfect for my aging and dehydrated skin. It's very hydrating yet lightweight as it's enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Extracts & Mineral Pigments For a Natural finish. It's easy to apply and blends beautifully. 

I find that my skin looks younger when I use this product, and it gives me a beautiful glow. It has medium coverage and isn't heavy or cakey. It evens out my skin tone, yet I can still see my skin through it, but my skin looks more perfected. It also gives my pale skin some colour, which makes me look healthier and more rested, even if I'm not. It has a thin consistency which spreads out easily, and I only need a small amount, especially since I apply it on top of my moisturizer. I definitely need to powder on top of it, which I would do anyway since I have quite an oily T-zone.



From Garnier:
"This daily All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream gives you the benefits of a makeup foundation and a moisturizing cream. Our new blendable coverage lets skin breathe, leaving a natural finish. A light texture enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Extracts and Mineral Pigments."

  • Evens skin complexion by 83.6%
  • Corrects the signs of fatigue by 74.5%
  • Gives a luminous complexion by 83.6%
  • 24H intense hydration


I put a little too much on here. Just a tiny amount blends into my skin very nicely

This is one of those products that I like to wear on a day-to-day basis. It's great for no-makeup-makeup days as it gives me much-needed colour and evens out my skin. Even if I'm not doing much, I like to wear this BB Cream because it makes me look better, and when I look better I feel better. I've never been one to wear heavy foundations as I find they can make me look older. Yet, products like Garnier's BB Cream do the complete opposite and make me appear more youthful, and that's something that I am always down for!

This product is suitable for all skin types. I haven't experienced any breakouts or irritation. It's actually quite soothing on my skin. It's currently available in limited shades and seems to vary from country to country. So far, I have found it in the shades light, light/medium, medium, and deep.  Garnier's website has a skin coach tool that can help you find the right products for your skin type using AI. Hopefully, you find one that works for your skin tone.

Garnier's BB Cream is affordably priced at $13USD (currently), and the 50ml bottle should last for quite a while as a little product goes a long way. 




This product was kindly gifted by Topbox and Garnier for testing and marketing purposes.

5 Instagram-Inspired Long Sleeve Rash Guard Outfits for Your Beach and Swimming Needs


Rash guards are a must-have for anyone who loves spending time at the beach or by the pool.

If you're new to the world of water sports and beach activities, you may be wondering what exactly a rash guard is. Simply put, a rash guard is a type of athletic shirt designed to be worn in and around water. It's made from a lightweight, quick-drying material that provides a barrier between your skin and the sun, sand, and surf. The snug fit and long sleeves of a rash guard offer both protection and mobility, making it a popular choice for swimmers, surfers, and other water enthusiasts.


Not only do they protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun, but they also make a stylish statement. After all, rash guards are cuter than a sunburn! In this article, we'll explore five Instagram-inspired ways to style your long sleeve rash guards for the ultimate beach day. From vibrant prints to classic cuts, there's a rash guard look for everyone. What are you waiting for? Let's dive in and explore the possibilities of incorporating style and functionality for the summer.

1. The Classic Black


A black rash guard is a versatile and timeless piece that goes well with any beach or swimming outfit. Pair it with a bright-colored bikini, or wear it alone with black bikini bottoms. The sleek and straightforward design of the black rash guard will make you look effortlessly chic.


2. The Fun and Flirty Floral


Opt for a floral long-sleeve rash guard if you want to add a pop of color and pattern to your beach or swimming outfit. The colorful and feminine print will make you stand out on the beach while protecting you from the sun. Pair it with a solid-colored bikini or matching floral bottoms for a cohesive and put-together look.


3. The Sporty Stripes



Wear a striped long-sleeve rash guard for a more athletic and sporty look. The bold and graphic pattern will give you an instant edge and elevate your beach or swimming outfit. Pair it with high-waisted bikini bottoms or athletic shorts for a complete and functional look.


4. The Boho Tie-Dye


Go for a tie-dye long-sleeve rash guard to channel your inner bohemian goddess. The colorful and whimsical pattern will make you look carefree and effortless. Pair it with flowy beach pants or a maxi skirt for a boho-chic look perfect for a beach day.


5. The Edgy Cut-Out


Wear a cut-out long-sleeve rash guard for a more daring and edgy look. The unique and trendy design will make you stand out on the beach while protecting you from the sun. Pair it with a strap or high-waisted bikini bottoms for a bold and fearless look.

No matter what style or pattern you choose, a long sleeve rash guard is a versatile and practical piece that will make you look fashion-forward and stylish on the beach or in the water.

Remember always to prioritize sun safety and wear your rash guard with pride. Happy beach season and swimming!
