routine. Deodorant♡

I think I have a new favourite natural deodorant :)

Introducing routine. deodorant cream!

Honestly, I bought this because of the name :p

The unscented version (which I prefer), is called "bonnie n' clyde"♡

How cute is that!? If you haven't seen the movie from the 60's, I recommend it!

♡Ingredients♡

cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), zea mays (corn, non-gmo) starch,
cera alba (canadian ethical beeswax), theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, butyrospermum (shea) butter,
tocopherol (vitamin e), calendula officinalis (marigold) infused olea europaea (olive) oil

This retails for about $28-30 (eek)

But do not freak just yet, because I found this on sale for $25 at Well.ca

Okay, not a huge price difference but I still love this deodorant.

This tub will last me all year, really.

Why I love it.

♡ It's an actual cream formula!

Most natural deodorants you find are more solid, meaning it would only

melt in contact with your skin. But this deodorant is emollient at first touch!

It's a true cream formula, which I love (a mini swatch above, in the circle)

♡ It's made in beautiful Calgary, Alberta! (in Canada)

♡ The girls behind this brand named, Neige and Pippa (what freaking awesome names!?)

♡ It works for me and I tend to sweat quite a bit in the summer = some odour.

I mean, I don't have bad odour... but you know, this keeps everything from going crazy under there.

It lasts a good 6-8 hours for me :) which is beyond what I expected.

I'm on a roll with blogging! There will be another post coming up next week.

But, no promises, because we all know that I'm a liar when it comes to blogging on time :(

My Eyebrow Routine♡

My Eyebrow Routine!

---------------------------------------------

In collaboration with Into The Gloss♡,

I wanted to share my own take on brow trends with people across the globe!

How To Maintain The Shape

I personally like thick, bold brows, straight but slightly arched.

Examples include brows like Audrey Hepburn or Lily Collins :)

Many South Korean celebrities also have the shape of brows I prefer on myself.

♡ Firstly, if I notice my brow hairs getting too long, I will use a spoolie to brush

them up. Then I will trim off the extra parts peeking out of my brow shape.

I would tweeze out any excess hair in the surrounding area of my brow shape.

♡ Second. I like to fill in my brows by basically shading/drawing them in.

I find this very therapeutic, like drawing :)

♡ Finally. I will brush it out slightly with a spoolie to even out the colour.

What I Use

I like using pencils or tinted markers. I have yet to try pomades (really would like to try).

I usually pick up items that seem convenient and easy to use. I like to be the one to control

the shape of my brows, but the product should make it easy to do so.

(products in photo below are in order)

☆ Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil (dark brown/black brown)

☆ Sante Brow Pencil (No.2 Brown)

☆ Innisfree Tinted Dual Brow Marker (Espresso Brown)

☆ spoolie, brow scissors, tweezers (for those extra hairs)

I'm looking for better organic alternatives, but these are the ones I have been using.

Purpose

I do my brows to look more polished. There are days where I will be very light handed,

while other days, I would make a statement with my brows. It depends on the occasion

and most importantly, my mood :) I used the Etude House pencil in the photo below.

I used to have very thick, bushy eyebrows, which I didn't like at all.

I like how my natural brows are now, even without makeup.

It's natural looking, but definitely not over-tweezed.

Tips
For beginners, I would recommend a pencil or even a powder.
It will be easier to control and fix mistakes.

Tinted markers are still quite new to a lot of people and it requires
patience and perfection! It's hard to fix mistakes, because it adheres
quite quickly/dries quickly.

♡ Check out my Instagram to see more of my brows! haha :) ♡

on how to fill in eyebrows, if you're interested!

I'll be blogging again!

I'm back guys!

I have been neglecting this blog once again, but I do plan to continue blogging.

I'm currently back in Canada and the weather is pretty nice right now.

I decided to try vlogging, even when I'm back home.

I enjoy doing it, just not when there are many people around :)

I decided to go back to school! It's scary, but kind of exciting.

I'll be studying Holistic Nutrition, starting September. It's a 1 year program, so it will

be pretty intense! I have been interested in nutrition for a couple years now.

I think this will be very important in my life. I'm looking forward to educating myself.

Of course, I'll be sharing some important information with you guys as well!

I thought about moving everything to www.365tulips.com, but I think I'll just

continue blogging here, because I've had this blog for so long and all of my posts

are quite memorable to me.

Have a great day! :)
