If there is one skincare line that I have consistency loved products from, it’s definitely Tula.

Unfortunately, the probiotic skincare line is no longer shipping to Canada, but that doesn’t stop me from still trying out their products (thank goodness for a NYC address!). Last month I was fortunate to actually be in town for the launch of their Rose Glow and Get It Eye Balm and at the end of September they released two other brand-new products, both for those who have acne.

So do you need to try out these items? I can’t say “yes” fast enough, and here’s why…

Rose Glow & Get It Eye Balm

I love the original blue Glow & Get It Cooling and Brightening eye balm, which I use religiously every morning, so when I saw they came out with a pink version, I knew I needed it in my life.

This new version of the original bestseller contains the same probiotics and superfoods as the blue version, plus more amazing ones thrown in.  This version contains rosehip oil, which is a plant-based retinol alternative, and hydrating rosewater, leaving your face feeling energized and glowing.

The other ingredients are of course caffeine, aloe, blueberry, and hyaluronic acid, which leaves your undereyes looking fresh, moisturized, and awake.

So which version is right for you? I love that this one, for a few dollars more ($30 for Rose Glow versus $28 for the OG) I would go for this one since it has added retinol (well technically not retinol, but a natural alternative). Honestly though, both formulas are amazing and you can’t really go wrong with either.

Keep it Clear Acne Foam Cleanser

As a follow up to their amazing Clear It Up Acne Clearing and Tone Correcting Gel, they released the Keep It Clear Acne Foam Cleanser ($34). This cleanser contains two per cent salicylic acid that will help clear acne, as well as superfood liquorice which will help to brighten the look of past blemish marks.

Other ingredients include probiotics and tea tree oil to help calm the look of redness and inflammation, as well as ginger to help soothe the skin. Since this cleanser is a foaming one, it’s a nice treat on the skin and really leaves your face looking and feeling its best.

Keep It Clear Acne Spot Treatment

I don’t actually have acne, but I will get the occasional breakout and typically I use a spot treatment every night until it’s fully gone. Thankfully, Tula just came out with this exact product, which I can’t wait to put to the test (which is weird to say since I hate getting breakouts).

The Acne Spot Treatment ($20) targets acne and breakouts, as well as calms the look of redness and irritation.  The formula contains star ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, an FDA-approved ingredient to help fight and prevent acne; probiotics and tea tree oil to help calm the look of redness and inflammation, as well as liquorice and niacinamide to help fade marks left from past breakouts.

Best part about this product, compared to other similar ones (I’ve been using an Olay one for years now) is that it goes on clear, meaning that you can use it morning and night since you won’t actually see it once applied.

If you live in the States or are planning on making a trip down soon, I highly recommend picking up these products, especially the eye balm.  Don’t forget, you can score 20% off your Tula order with code SHAYNA at check out.

Will I ever get tired of matte liquid lipsticks? Probably not.

Because of that, I always get so excited when I get some new ones in my collection. On the docket this time around? Avon’s Soft Matte Liquid Lip lipsticks.

Available in eight shades, these liquid lipsticks are weightless on the lips, non-drying, and last for hours once applied. The formula contains micronized pigments that give you vivid colour on the first swipe, and the poppy seed oil and vitamin E helps to nourish and soften the lips.

Avon sent me four shades to try out and truthfully, I’m really digging all the colours in the collection. Obviously the nude shade (Ambitious) is my favourite, but as you can tell from the swatches below, the other colours they chose to include in this collection are fun, bright, and totally wearable (no blacks or blues here!).

These retail for C$15 and I highly recommend them. Avon also often has sales, so you can probably get these for under $10 through your local rep. The shade range and the formula is stellar and you’ll be wearing these all day before reapplying them as they really do stick on (even through a super sweaty spin class).

Let me know which shade you pick up!

When I saw that CoverGirl released a dupe for Stila’s Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadows, I pretty much grabbed my coat and keys and was halfway out the door before I realized that they were only available in the U.S.

Actually, that was what I understood up until actually writing this post, when I Googled the product and it took me to the CoverGirl Canada site, where they are all listed as Out of Stock. I think they are coming guys, but in the meantime keep reading…

The Ulta-exclusive CoverGirl Exhibitionist Liquid Glitter Eyeshadows are available in seven shades and work the same way that the Stila versions do… but at half the cost. These liquid glitter shadows apply via a doe-foot applicator and dry down so they won’t go anywhere. Unlike loose glitters, these also won’t get all over your face since it’s a liquid product.

I have three of the seven shades, including La Vie En Rose, which is most like Stila’s Kitten, and I cannot recommend them enough. Since I have both products, it was quite easy to compare them, and honestly, although Stila’s may be a smidge more sparkly, these basically apply the exact same way. Both go on very opaque, won’t budge, feel lightweight, and give you the sparkliest eye look.

With the holidays coming up, I hope that CoverGirl will start rolling these into stores soon. I’m very hopeful they will do so since it’s already listed on the Canadian site. If you have a trip down south planned, definitely pop into an Ulta store and pick one up. Note, you can order to Canada through the store, but these bad boys will cost you C$17.99 each, which are totally not Covergirl prices.
