Canadian beauty essentials you need to get your hands on:
Makeup:
Nudestix
Talk about an iconic Canadian makeup line that has made a global name for itself. You have to get your hands on a nudestix blush because they truly are the best!
They specialize in cream formulas that melt into the skin delivering the perfect pop of flush to the complexion.
Their shade range is outstanding and they really have something for everyone. From tweens to mature makeup enthusiasts Nudestix is a Canadian brand that I recommend to everyone.
Fun packaging, unbelievable shade selection and the most stunning formulas – It’s a win-win for everyone.
Annabelle Cosmetics –
I bet you have passed by Annabelle Cosmetics a million times at the drugstore or supermarket and didn’t know that they are Canadian! Not only is their pricing affordable, their makeup is incredible! They really have it all when it comes to affordable makeup that you will love.
I especially love their Kohl liners and have been using them for years! The colour selection is beyond impressive and the formula is outstanding.
- A must-have easy-to-use liner loaded with nourishing ingredients.
- Enriched with Vitamins C & E, it applies smoothly and lasts all day long.
Skincare:
Jouviance
I have been a Jouviance fan for over a decade now and have featured them many times on my social media channels. Their entire line is outstanding and the efficacy of their products have won them many awards.
Their new C-PEPTIDE multi action radiance gel cream is phenomenal. The peptides help strengthen the skin while the addition of vitamin C boosts our skins overall glow and and radiance. I also love that it’s a gel texture. Gel textured moisturizers are lighter in weight than traditional moisturizers which is perfect for warmer weather.
In addition to this moisturizer, you really can’t go wrong with any of the Jouviance products.
