Favourite Five Canadian Beauty Brands

Oh Canada! There are many homegrown talents that are making international headlines, from musicians, actors to designers and even beauty brands. Did you know MAC Cosmetics was founded in Canada? It is now one of the top three global makeup brands.

There are so many Canadian beauty brands out there and you best bet that I'm proud of each and every one of those companies, whether they're locals or have made it international. I have a long list of favourite Canadian beauty brands, but I thought I should just list five that I admire. As well, give a shout out of a product from each that I consider a holy grail.

ChickAdvisor Unboxing: Maybelline New York

Maybelline is a brand I would consider as a well-known brand for all ages. It was one of the first brands I gravitated towards when I first got into makeup and I'm sure the same goes for a handful of others. Inexpensive and incredible quality, Maybelline has definitely extended their makeup line to include everything for everyone.

From their iconic mascara (I'm talking about you, Great Lash Mascara) to introducing the latest beauty products, I'm always excited to see what Maybelline has in store for me. And thanks to ChickAdvisor, I have the opportunity to test out some Maybelline products that I may or may not have seen or heard about.

Check out the unboxing below and prepare yourself as I will be doing something on this blog I've never done before.

Let's Get Steamy!

If I told you that I still iron my clothes using my Mom's 80's clothes iron that has no advance tech to it and trust that it won't burn my clothes, would you laugh? Probably. That's why I avoid buying clothes that can be easily wrinkled. And the clothes in my closet that are wrinkled? Those rarely get worn or I would use a hair straightener to avoid taking out the iron and pulling out the ironing board.

That all changed thanks to Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam with Dual Heat Technology Handheld Fabric Steamer. This user friendly stand-up design, built-in creaser, and aluminium plate steamer made me say goodbye to the ol' iron! It's quick and easy to use with just 2 settings (standard and turbo) and heats up in 40 seconds. It also saves times and money, works on most types of garments and fabrics, and no chemicals are needed as you just add water.
