Hey Everyone,
About a month ago I received a package from Caryl Baker Visage, a Canadian cosmetic and skin care company that offers a number of spa services (including brow shaping and facials) in store. The package, which contained three of Caryl Baker Visage's summer essentials (one CBV staple and two new, limited edition products) came in a super cute, pink sand bucket thanks to the creative geniuses of my good friend, Karyn Johnson.
To be honest, I have always considered Caryl Baker Visage to be an 'old lady' store, and have never bothered to check out their cosmetics line (as I have told Karyn many times). After receiving two packages from the company, and being able to try out a number of their products (blush, eyeshadow, lipstick, etc.) I have to say that I am absolutely in love with the brand. All of the items I have tried are great quality, extremely well pigmented, perfect for sensitive skin, and paraben free, and while the prices tend to be on the more expensive side, I can honestly say that everything I have tried is worth the higher price. Below are more details on my new Caryl Baker Visage loves.
Caryl Baker Visage Sun Essentials Sunscreen ($14 CND)
The
first item included in my little package was Caryl Baker's Sun
Essentials Sunscreen. With an SPF of 30 and no BAPA, this sunscreen if
perfect for all skin types (including sensitive skin). With a non greasy
texture, this is a great every day sunscreen and can be worn on both
the face and body. I have been using this for the past month, and so far
have not had any sunburns.
Caryl Baker Visage Limited Edition Mineral Bronzer ($29.50)
The
second item included in my package was Caryl Baker's new, and limited
edition, mineral bronzer. I honestly can't say enough good things about
this bronzer. With absolutely no shimmer or glitter, this light tan (not
orange) bronzer gives my skin an insanely gorgeous glow. This
paraben-free, talc-free, oil-free and fragrance free bronzer is perfect
for both face and body, and looks great on almost any skin type. I have
been looking for my holy grail bronzer for a while now, and am happy to
report, I have definitely found it. If there is only one product I could
recommend this summer, it would be this bronzer. Get it now!
Caryl Baker Visage Limited Edition Mineral Lip Tint SPF 15 in 'Luscious' ($23.50 CND)
The
final item included in my package from Caryl Baker Visage was their
new, and limited edition, mineral tinted lip balm in 'Luscious', a
gorgeous pink-toned nude. The Lip Tints are super creamy and
moisturizing, and are extremely unique, as they contain two layers. The
outer layer provides a sheer colour, light shine and SPF 15. The inner
layer, on the other hand, contains mineral rich moisturizers and
provides anti-aging and reparative benefits for the lips. I absolutely
love the way the Mineral Lip Tints feel on my lips. They are extremely
moisturizing, yet still light as air, and with an SPF of 15, they are
the perfect accessory for the beach.
Sand, Luscious

Hey Everyone,
One of my favourite bloggers, Karen of Makeup and Beauty Blog, does a weekly poll on her blog encouraging readers to take part. Every Monday, I will be posting my answers to her questions on my blog, and hope that you will join me by making your own post, or leaving your answers to the following questions in the comment section below.
1. Mood: Tired (but in a good way). This weekend was the Canada Day long weekend, and we spent our time up at my cottage. Between super hot weather, boating and a lot of fresh air, I am pooped. Can't wait to do it all again next weekend.
2. Mild, medium, spicy or extra hot?: Mild! I am not a fan of really spicy things. One time I had a quesadilla at Jack Astors that was so spicy, my sister literally had to rip a piece of the table cloth (it was paper) and fill it with ice cubes for me to suck on during the ride home. Never again!
3. Your most awkward years?: I would definitely say my most awkward years were grade six to ten. I have super frizzy hair, brace, had no idea how to dress and didn't know a thing about makeup.
4. Watcha reading right now?: I am in the middle of a book called Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It's a memoir about the three months she spent hiking the pacific coast trail from LA to Seattle.
5. Your current Hollywood crush?: I don't have a Hollywood crush, but I definitely have a few Nashville crushes. My biggest one at the moment is Hunter Hayes. He is so talented (he played 30 different instruments on his latest CD) and so cute. The only problem is he is 10 years younger than me.
6. Speaking of Magic Mike, what would your stripper anthem/theme song be?: I love how it assumes I picked Channing Tatum. He's cute too, but not my type. I think it would be 'She's Country' by Jason Aldean. Every time I fantasize about my MTV Super Sweet Sixteen birthday party entrance, that's the song that is playing.
7. Fave teen hottie of the ’80s or ’90s?: I was a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan (I don' like them anymore), and, although I seemed to be the odd one out, I had a huge thing for Howie D.
8. Hair up or down?: For the most part I wear it up. I think I prefer the way I look with my hair down, but most of the time I get too hot and have to throw it up into a ponytail or bun.
9. Tell me about a fear you’ve conquered: The fact that I still drive my car (which has mice in it) on a regular basis shows that I have somewhat conquered my fear of rodents. Now, if the mice were to actually show their faces while I was driving the car, I would probably end up in a bad car accident.
10. Weekly goals: I want to get a new tattoo this week! I want to get 'Through pain comes strength' on the back of my neck.
If you decide to answer the questions, leave your responses or the link to your responses in the comment section below.
Hope you all have a great week.
