When it comes to skincare, sunscreen is the unrecognized champion. It’s often overlooked, but it’s one of the most important products you can use to protect your skin. Whether you’re at the beach, or just stepping out for a quick walk, sunscreen should be a part of your daily routine.. ALL YEAR ROUND. I’m going to share why sunscreen is essential, the different types available, and how to choose the best one for your skin! Why Sunscreen is So Important Our skin is constantly exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, and while these rays might feel warm and […]

Behind the U Beauty Brand The brainchild of U Beauty […]

I found my new favourite face mask and I want to share it with everyone! Dans un Jardin reached out a couple of months ago asking if I’d like to try this turmeric face mask out. This was a brand that I’d heard of before but have never tried any of their products. I replied yes, this mask intrigued me. Besides its efficacy, the smell this mask emits is dare I say delicious. Even Curtis who has walked into our bathroom while I’m applying it, has made a remark about how it smells like candy. I love that this product […]

I needed a deep conditioner that hydrates but doesn’t weigh my hair down. I wanted something that tamed frizz and flyaways. This was a duo I heard mentioned a few times before trying out. Every review I read (and the instructions on the box, for that matter) made it clear that this was a product you had to use multiple times before seeing results, which I found extremely true. To be honest, I wasn’t mesmerized after the first time I used it (it wasn’t bad, just not game-changing), but after a handful of uses, I noticed my hair felt smoother, […]

The Sephora Spring Sale is back! It’s the perfect time to stock up on all your favourites or try out the products that have been on your wishlist (I just ordered the Saie Dew Balm Highlighter!). Makeup and skincare junkies know that every April, Sephora hosts an epic two weeks of tiered discounts on almost everything in-store and online. Since I have had so many people ask me for product recommendations on Instagram, I decided to put together a quick outline of everything you’ll need to know, as well as the items that I know and feel are worth the […]

Sorry beauty hoarders (myself included), but it’s time for some tough love. I know how much you love the perfect nude lipstick you’ve owned for five years, but it’s time to say goodbye. While it can be tempting to hold on to every last piece of makeup you’ve accumulated over the years, it’s just not the smartest thing to do. Even sentimental pieces, they should go in the trash after so many years. It’s time to grab your makeup bag and a trash can because believe it or not cosmetics do have expiration dates. Not sticking to the “use by” […]

The post How Often You Should Throw Away Your Makeup appeared first on A Life Well Consumed by Leslie Rossi.

With my job comes receiving the latest makeup launches in the mail and myself purchasing new products to test out and share on here. For the most part, I generally go with a basic look for every day, I work from home, so I don’t glam up Monday to Friday unless I’m attending an event or meeting. Having a lot of products sounds like fun but it’s more annoying than anything – I could never find what I was looking for! So I pulled out this bag my sister gifted me for Christmas one year and subsequently did a major […]

I love finding out what other people use in terms of beauty products. I’m a sucker for a what’s in my bag post, or even someone’s beauty stash in their fitness bag. I thought why not share what I use in the shower? Hopefully, I’m not the only one here with these viewpoints, people used to watch MTV Cribs and I loved seeing what they had in their fridge. And I know I wasn’t the ONLY one. These are shower products that I use frequently, with a few more bits that aren’t shown because I do use a few hair […]

As you may know, I was living out of a suitcase (or two haha) at my parent’s house while we looked for a place to live after selling our apartment. That meant I had to streamline my skincare routine and pack up the rest of my products until we moved. I wanted to share the products I was using for the last two months, the ones that I actually liked and felt worked with my hormonal, pregnant skin. UGH the worst, still waiting for that pregnant glow to kick in and my acne flareups to disappear. And since I can’t […]

Having tested just about every single makeup brand under the sun, I can confidently say that these are the tried-and-true items I find myself packing for my vacations. I like to keep a minimal routine when away, I find that I become more relaxed about what I wear on my face every day while away. Below, you’ll find a list of my favourite everyday makeup products for each category I pack: foundation/concealer, bronzer, brows/mascara, eyeliner, highlighter, lip colour, and even a lip balm. Wow, maybe I am a little high maintenance or what? But this is what I exactly packed […]

Earlier this month I was lucky enough to be invited to Whistle with London Drugs for their annual beauty event! They took us to the Fairmont Chateau Whistler for a night, where we met with 30 brands they carry in-store to see the latest launches and learn more about each brand. It turned out to be the perfect fall weather, no rain haha, and we spent an evening testing and trying out new beauty launches! OK, let’s get into a quick photo recap of the trip, I will give more in-depth looks into products as I test them out and […]

Hyaluronic acid. If you’re into skincare like myself, then hyaluronic acid is the one ingredient which should be a regular part of your skincare regime. Raise your hand if you want hydrated, dewy skin. Raises hand 🙋‍♀️ Hyaluronic acid is one of those skincare ingredients you’ve probably been hearing a lot about the last two years. It is meant for those looking to get moisturized, supple skin but are also prone to zits or hate the feel of greasy products. AKA pretty much everyone is meant to use it on the daily. As a humectant, it draws moisture into skin […]

Let’s talk about SKINCARE! I always look forward to my skincare routine, morning and night. Especially in this Spring transition period when my skin tends to freak out with the change of weather.

Today I’m highlighting eight skincare products that leave my skin smooth, soft, and glowy. You can see this month’s current favourite makeup products, so many goodies in there!

One of my favourite reading spots is in the bathtub. Nothing is better than dropping one of my DIY bath bombs in, grabbing a book or magazine, glass of wine and getting lost in the words for an hour. I love buying a new bath bomb, but after seeing I could make my own and save money, I started doing that instead. Considering how fast I go through them! Another great reason to make your own DIY bath bombs, is that you can customize them to your liking, sometimes you find one that’s cute, but the ingredients not so much. […]
