1// ESTÉE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II
This incredible serum leaves my skin visibly hydrated and plump the next morning. I use it on my face and neck at night whenever my skin is feeling dull and dry.
2// ESTÉE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset Concentrate
I layer this at night as a second step following the aforementioned Night Repair Complex. The two products work beautifully together so if you already love the serum, I highly recommend you check out the Reset Concentrate. It’s an overnight treatment that soothes the look of irritation and immerses the skin in 24-hour hydration.
3// SULWHASOO First Care Activating Serum Mist
I’m one of those people that keeps a facial mist and their desk, and considering how much time we’re all spending indoors now, I’m reaching for that bottle every couple of hours. This unique oil-water spray is infused with hydrating jojoba seed oil and Sulwhasoo’s signature JAUM Balancing Complex™, a potent cocktail of five Korean herbs.
4// TATA HARPER Resurfacing Mask
Tata Harper is high on everyone’s holy grail list for a reason. Her products are 100% natural and vegan and while pricey, totally worth the splurge. This Resurfacing Mask transforms a dull complexion into glowing, healthy-looking skin with beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) from white willow bark and pomegranate enzymes.
5// KIEHL’S Ultra Facial Cream
If you prefer creams over lotions and prefer a thicker moisturizer that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin, you’ll love this one! Ultra Facial Cream is a lightweight moisturizer that provides 24-hour hydration. It’s suitable for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin.
6// LA MER The Eye Concentrate
Fans of La Mer and luxury skincare have good reason to fall in love with The Eye Concentrate. It’s a lightweight, hydrating cream that feels luxurious and silky on the eyes. The cooling massage applicator also helps support microcirculation.
- Clarity Ferment: Helps brighten and reduce the look of dark circles, lines, and wrinkles for a healthy look of vitality and wellness.
- Concentrated Miracle Broth: Delivers essential energy and hydration to the eye area.
- Lime Tea Concentrate: Helps defend against damage from environmental aggressors and pollution.
7// JO MALONE LONDON Candles
It’s the perfect time to invest in elegant scents considering how much time we’re all spending at home right now. Jo Malone has a beautiful selection of home scents to set a different mood for every room of your house (yes, this is a thing now) - from English Pear & Freesia (lively, fruit & floral, and my fave), to Lime Basil & Mandarin (fresh and relaxing), to Pomegranate Noir (warm, floral & mysterious). Grab the collection of travel-sized candles if you’re new to the brand or can’t make up your mind.
8// SULWHASOO First Care Activating Sheet Mask
This five pack of masks are nourishing and hydrating with antioxidant-rich green tea, soothing honey, and JAUM Balancing Complex™. But it’s also an experience.
The light herbal scent sets the most beautiful and relaxing atmosphere for sheet masking like nothing you’ve ever felt before. Lie back, throw on some meditative music, close your eyes, and let the mask nourish your skin.
9// LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
Named Allure’s Best of Beauty Award Winner in 2019, this leave-on lip mask soothes and moisturizes for smoother, more supple lips overnight. Enriched with vitamin C and antioxidants, the exclusive Moisture Wrap™ technology boasts hyaluronic acid and minerals lock in moisture and active ingredients.
10// KERASTASE Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum
This leave-in, overnight serum that nurtures and detangles hair while you sleep and is suitable for straight, wavy, and curly hair types. The unique leave-in treatment leaves hair feeling soft, protected, and easy to style.

Luxury Beauty During Quarantine. Should You Feel Guilty?

Most of us are stuck at home right now no thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, however, I think we still need to maintain some sense of semblance in our daily lives. It may be tempting to wear pajamas day in and day out and lose sight of how we would normally care for ourselves, but we shouldn't go down that path because it impacts our self-esteem more than we may realize.
Here’s a story that I’ve never shared with you before.
I freelanced for about three years and in that time I spent most of my days working from home alone. I developed some harmful habits in that first year. I’d start my day by jumping out of bed, head straight to my desk, and stay there until I had to use the washroom or get a snack, and would work late into the evening.
I was stressed to my core, I wasn’t eating healthy, I wasn’t exercising, and I looked a mess. Above all else, I felt completely out of touch with reality and depression soon started to creep in.
SHOP THE POST
Of course, my depression wasn’t as simple as wearing pajamas seven days a week and there was more happening in the background. Being overworked and not checking in with myself was a recipe for disaster in terms of my mental health.
If there's anything you can take away from my experience, it is to make time for yourself and do things that bring you joy. Maintain a balanced routine to keep your mental and emotional health strong.
Also, practice gratitude and think about the things you do have rather than the things you don't. Get into the habit of listing five things you're grateful for first thing in the morning or before going to bed at night. You'll likely sleep better or start your day off on a better note allowing you to be more productive.
Finally, try waking up at the same time every day, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet, drink lots of water, meditate, get plenty of sleep, and know when to turn off the news.
I encourage you all to do some self-care this week because we all need some TLC right now.
So with that, here are 10 of my favorite beauty items that I'm recommending to help lift your spirits while in quarantine. Stay home and stay safe.
Spoil Yourself with These Luxe Items
I've tried my fair share of luxury lip balms but this one tops them all! Clé De Peau's Lip Glorifier (in Pink) is insanely moisturizing and conditioning, and has a subtle yet pleasant rose scent. It feels slightly tingly and enhances the lips natural color leaving them looking dewy and plump. Highly recommend it on its own or under your favorite lipstick as a primer.
I’m a self-proclaimed lipstick addict so it's surprising that I waited this long to get my hands on the new Hermés lipsticks. Not only are the colors richly pigmented and feel hydrating on the lips, but the packaging is also absolutely to die for with its heavyweight enamel case that comes housed in the classic orange box from the luxury fashion house.
Springtime In The Park, a male and female fragrance, is the latest addition to the Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' collection. While I typically favor warm and spicy scents over floral ones, I will switch over to a floral if the mood strike - but it needs to have depth. The key notes in Springtime In The Park are Pear Accord, Lily of the Valley Accord, and Musks that smell so good, you'll want to bathe in it.
Glowy skin is something we all strive for but even more so now that we're in quarantine and staying indoors. I've been using the IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream Rosy Tone Moisturizer to help liven my complexion during the day. It also has subtle light-reflecting particles that's lovely on its own or under makeup.
One of the things I like to do to elevate my mood is to light a bougie candle. At first, The scent of Diptyque's popular Baies candle radiates the compelling freshness of a bouquet of roses, sweetened by Blackcurrant Leaves.
NARS award-winning Radiant Creamy Concealer provides medium, buildable coverage that's long-wearing looks natural on the skin. It's the only concealer that I consistently repurchase and always have in my makeup bag.
NARS Orgasm blush is probably one of the most iconic makeup items in modern-day history and it’s said that one is sold every minute. This universally flattering peachy-pink shade has golden shimmers which gives cheeks that natural glow-from-within look.
I go through more bottles of serum than I do moisturizer. This Smart Moisture Serum from the Giorgi Armani skincare line contains hyaluronic acid and crimson seaweed, to give skin luminous moisture.
Anyone experiencing dull skin will want to get their hands on Neostrata’s Glycolic Microdermabrasion Polish asap. It's a gentle, but effective polish containing 10% AHA and professional-grade crystals to revitalize skin instantly.
If you're like me with combo/oily skin, you know how frustrating it is to rely on powder to set your makeup because you hate the matte finish you're left with. I was devoted to my MAC Fix+ Setting Spray before getting my hands on ABH's Dewy Set Spray. It leaves my skin with a natural dewy finish and locks everything into place.

6 All-Black Outfits You'll Wish You Were Wearing Right Now

Whoever says black is boring is lacking imagination. Mind you, I’m biased since all black is my go-to for pretty much every occasion in life.
The key is to play with contrasting textures to give an all-black outfit the dimension it craves. Think, shiny patent leathers, cotton, gabardine wools, velvet, faux-croc, lambskin leather, chunky knits, silks, lace, you get the point.
While you’re there, play around with your accessories as well. A grommet leather belt like the one Maja Wyh is wearing below will break up a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt. A strappy leather sandal will look amazing with a midi-cargo skirt and ribbed tube top like seen on Pernille Teisbaek. Add some sleek sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a little Prada handbag, and you’re set.
Black On Black Outfit Ideas

1// CASUAL ALL BLACK
Maja Wyh wearing black jeans with a leather grommet belt, topped off classic black double breasted blazer with brass buttons. Pay attention to the small details to make an all black outfit come to life.

2// ROCK ALL BLACK TO YOUR NEXT MEETING
Mary Kate Olsen wears a silk blouse that happens to be causally open, which so perfectly shows off her gold chain. It seems like she’s wearing a silk jacket over top. She opts for gabardine wool trousers in a wide leg cut that gives her a sophisticated air. I love the addition of the aviator glasses that say , “Don’t mess with me.”

3 & 4 // WEAR HEAD TO TOE BLACK LIKE A FASHION GIRL
Yoyo Cao and Pernille Teisbaek wear all black during Milan Fashion week. Yoyo rocks the Prada combat boots which turned the fashion world upside down at the end of 2019. I love how she pairs them with a black utility inspired trench with not one, but two belts! Genius!
Pernille wears a utility inspired midi skirt, contrasting it with a feminine tube top. I love the delicate heels she’s wearing in contrast to the boxy Prada bag and large gold chain. It’s all about the subtle balance and contrast with her.

5// THE DATE NIGHT LOOK
Nothing says date night like a beautiful shoe. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears her leather cross-over sandals with a gold ankle bracelet. (Why do I have the feeling these are making a comeback?)
Her pleated trousers show off her waist, while her blouse gives the outfit a playful quality, even though it’s cut high at the neck.
Opt for a blouse with voluminous sleeves if you want to take your outfit to another level. Big sleeves lend a romantic characteristic to an outfit, plus, they’ll be a HUGE trend in 2020.

6// EDGY ALL BLACK

What To Wear When You're Bored Of Your Own Clothes
I like to set up my mornings so they run as smoothly as possible. Planning my outfits ahead of time is just one of the things I do, and my process for finding outfit inspo is super simple.
I'll head over to Pinterest the week or night before. My boards happen to be categorized in a way that I know will make it easy to put outfits together - All Black, Denim, or Street Style if I'm looking for a more eclectic outfit for example. From there, I just look for any Pins that might strike a chord with me and pick something similar that's already in my closet.
Normally, I can find outfit inspiration quickly, but the other day I was scrolling and scrolling down Pinterest thinking, “I’m so bored with everything I own.” I should also mention that I haven’t bought anything new in a couple of weeks because I’m doing a low-buy year, and therefore running out to buy something new isn't an option. I digress.
After stepping away from Pinterest and coming back to it the next day with a clear mind, I was able to scroll through and nail some new outfits down. I might swap out a sandal out for a boot since it’s winter in Canada, but at least the work is done for me and I know exactly what I’m wearing for the rest of the workweek.
For more outfit inspo, head over to Pinterest @woahstyle, and follow me there for daily inspo.

NARS Tinted Glow Booster


NARS has just launched its limited-edition Tinted Glow Booster, and as a fan of Chanel’s Water Fresh Tint, I’m obsessed.
While it might look like a foundation, it’s not. This multi-purpose customizable complexion enhancer by NARS will smooth the skin’s appearance by blurring imperfections and enhancing its natural glow.
The customized blend of yellow and beige pigments provides a non-ashy glow on all skin tones.
The lightweight formula is hydrating, thanks to the exclusive blend of Jojoba Gel and Jojoba Elixir, and the pearlescent pigments creating a shimmering effect for a lustrous finish.

How To Style A Pajama Shirt


If you like the look of pajama shirts but you’re unsure of how to wear them, simply reach for a pair of slim-cut jeans and feminine heels. Opt for silk fabric instead of cotton so that your outfit looks intentional and chic, otherwise, you might run the risk of looking like you’re wearing pj’s in public. The finished look is perfect for a Friday night outing!
