Birthday Spa Day With Mix Beauty Lab in Toronto

-

⁣


With my bday trip canceled due to Covid19, I wanted a little TLC here in Toronto. I decided to have some pampering at Mix Beauty Lab on my birthday, which also happened to be the last day before social distancing was in full effect in Canada. ⁣⁣⁣
After reading great things about Mix Beauty Lab, I knew it was the perfect place to go. They are a spa that specializes in facials, brows, hair removal, sunless tans, makeup, lashes, and nails - I could spend all day! ⁣ ⁣⁣


The first thing I had done was a brow session. I’d been growing my brows out with Briogeo 100% Caster Oil, and wanted to get them groomed before trying tinting, etc. 
I had Eyebrow Threading for the first time and was amazed by how quick and painless it was. I have super sensitive skin, so I have avoided waxing and threading, but it definitely worked well with a little redness that quickly disappeared. I also got a little trim and tried their Mix Brow Fix Gel which is a tinted formula that is water-resistant and has tiny fibers to bulk brows for extra help. 







 Next, their mixologist did some blending to match my skin tone and created a custom liquid foundation for me [literally poured + bottled right in front of me] as well as a little makeover with some of their best selling products. 
The Mix Lip Plumper was an instant favorite as it quickly added volume and moisture while giving my lips a soft pink glow. 





Most importantly, I had a facial. 
My skin has been FREAKING out lately. I think it’s a combination of environment and the hormonal balancing that I’m doing with Traditional Chinese Medicine. I also recently tried a new product line that was too heavy for my skin. Needless to say, it's been a mess and I needed to get the breakouts under control.
After an assessment of my skin, we decided on the 75 minute Mix Deluxe Facial. 
This intensive treatment is designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin reducing fine lines, smoothing, softening and encouraging cellular renewal. A two-step physical and chemical exfoliation using dermaplanning and IS Clinical's Fire & Ice treatment [see the blue cooling globes in the video on my Instagram here], combined with a full facial and oxygen to finish.
I've had glycolic facials for over 10 years, but I had never experienced it in combination with dermaplanning. I think it was maybe a little too much for my sensitive skin to do both at the same time, but it definitely helped get a deeper clean and resurface my skin for a smoother complexion. 



My overall experience was amazing and everyone was very friendly and professional, which is super important when dealing with skin issues that are both personal and emotional for many people.

Taormina Travel Tips

Taormina is definitely a highlight of my Sicily trip. My entire experience in this small Island town was serene. Beautiful weather and relaxing. The train runs along the East Coast into the quaint old station surrounded by lush trees and sea shore views. The minute I got off the train I fell in love with the charming town.  Breathtaking panoramas surround you as you drive up the mountain to the town.  Hotels are very old and full of history and elegance... and always have amazing breakfasts (which includes a lot of sweets). Most of the hotels are boutique and family run, which is great for service and a taste of local life. There are some stunning hotels to choose from, each offering a slightly different view and great beaches.  Regardless of where you stay, a room with a view is a must have while in Taormina. There is nothing like waking up to a gorgeous sea & volcano view everyday. It is worth every penny.  Taormina was founded in the 4th century BC and has become a

Let’s face it, undergarments are one of the most important parts of an outfit. Cute designs with a great fit are essential, but comfort trumps all. The new Rose + Vine collection from Ardene is cozy, cute and comfortable. I love the soft fabrics mixed in with lace designs to add a little style to your lingerie. I mixed and matched the Lace Push Up Bustier with these Softie Cheekies, perfect for casual lounging and looking fab under just about anything.  The bustier offers great support and the mesh back also works great layered under a semi-sheer knit.  Check out the R+V collection here .

SMILE BRILLIANT REVIEW

Image
After spending the past few years in the U.K., I have become a tea addict.  I drink approximately 2 cups of tea per day in the summer months, and 3-5 in the winter. I love all types of tea; Green, London Fog's, Latte's another other black tea based drinks that warm the soul. Over time this has stained my teeth . I have always had fairly white teeth, although, I have some staining closer to my gum line (tough to see in photos) that I wanted to get ride of. I have been on the search for an  at home whitening system to even out the colour and brighten up my smile. As have a very full schedule, I need a product that is easy to use, doesn't make my teeth sensitive and of course has quick, effective results. When Smile Brilliant reached out to me, I knew I had to try out their whitening system.  I have had my teeth professionally whitened years ago for my graduation, and I found it to work well, however, my teeth were sensitive after. The Smile Brilliant  system includes a d
