With 2017 coming to an end, I’m counting down my most used beauty products of the year. From skin care to hair care to makeup, check out the items I couldn’t live without this year!

10. Andalou Naturals Coconut Firming Mask – I try and use a face mask 3 times per week and while I switch up a lot of my other masks, Andalou’s Coconut Firming Mask has a consistent spot on my face mask roster each week. This nutrient-rich mask helps wake up my skin and improve the tone and texture. It’s gentle enough to use more than once per week, yet strong enough to notice results.

9. L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara – Who said a good mascara has to cost a ton?! I was fortunate enough to work with L’Oreal this year and create a commercial sharing my feedback on the Lash Paradise mascara. The verdict? No flaking & no smudging ..no wonder it’s my favourite mascara of the year.

8. Imbue Spray – Made in Canada, these rose water sprays are handmade using premium aromatherapy oils. They’re not only perfect for travelling, but they’re great for after the gym, when you need a pick-me-up during the day, or to spray on your pillow before you sleep. The versatility of these sprays has made them a staple in my home and on my travels.

7. Decleor Hydra Floral Cream – Combined with Decleor’s essential oils, this Hydra Floral cream is great for winter because it provides hydration and keeps my skin nice and dewy.

6. Clarins Graphik Ink Liner – Having the right eyeliner is a make or break in my makeup routine. The precise tip of this eyeliner made it shoot up to the top of my liner list. It gives me the control to create anything from cat eyes to a bold look to a barely-there line, and stays put for the entire day.

5. Pur Cosmetics Vanity Palette – For a beautiful, subtle contour I use the Dream Chaser Vanity Palette because I love the soft colours and hint of shimmer. When I’m heading out for the night and want to step-up my highlight game, I love the shimmer I get from the Goal Digger palette. These vanities also contain highly pigmented eye shadows that apply quiet well and don’t crumble onto your under eyes.

4. Jimmy Choo L’Eau – Romantic, feminine and fresh, this is my go-to scent for most of 2017. While I love changing up my fragrances, something always draws me back to floral and musky notes of Jimmy Choo’s L’Eau. Featuring top notes of bergamot and hibiscus flower, heart notes of sweet nectarine and peony flower and base notes of musk and cedarwood, I feel like this scent is made for hopeless romantics and dreamers.

3.  Clarins Double Serum – Made by one of my all time favourite beauty brands, this dual phase hydric and lipidic anti-aging treatment helps keep my skin smooth and radiant. Relying on a combination of [20+1] potent anti-aging plant extracts, it didn’t take longer than a week for me to notice a difference in the appearance of my skin. I was introduced to this serum in the fall, and have been using it every night since.

2. Valvano Shine – I received a package from Niagara’s award winning Valvano Salon this year and I completely fell in love with their products, in particular their Shine gel. This water-silicone gel adds the perfect amount of shine and controls frizz without weighing down my hair or making it look greasy. I use this product religiously after I blow dry my hair, and take it with me on every trip, local or abroad. I’ve been using Shine since March and I’m only now running out. I’m also obsessed with this shampoo because it gives my hair a deep clean and helps to remove naturally occurring product build-up. It’s great to use once a week or once every other week for a proper clean.

1. Burberry Kisses in Military Red – It’s official; this colour has become my signature red. It’s the colour I never knew I always needed …aaand I can’t live without it anymore! You’ll see me wearing this shade in 80% of my Instagram posts. It’s bold, hydrating, and glides on like silk. Muah!

Have a safe & happy new year all!
