I love the look at false lashes, but let’s be honest, they can be really finicky.
I can’t get lash extensions anymore since I had a bad reaction to them a few years ago, plus they just don’t fit my lifestyle anymore. I love the look of long lashes so I do get a lash lift and tint, but if I want something more dramatic then I’ll pop on some falsies.
Now as much as I love falsies, I do get annoyed with them often. I hate that you can often see the band and sometimes they have the tendency to poke my eyes (name a worse feeling than having your false eyelash irritate your eyes).
I’ve known about Kiss’ Falscara lashes for a few years now (I think the first time I had heard about them was at NYFW in February 2020) and I thought they were such a good idea. These promise you the look of false lashes since they go underneath the lash line instead of on top, so it’s a more natural look since there is no band to be seen. I’ve heard of this trick from YouTubers but have never tried it out, but I had seen that the results and liked how they turned out.
These lashes actually come in a starter kit (C$26.99), which includes the Bond & Seal, individual wisps, and the applicator. You can of course purchase all these items separately, but you will require the Bond & Seal to apply them, as well as the lashes of course!
So how does it work? So first you start with the Bond (the Bond & Seal come as a double-ended product), which is a tiny little mascara brush that you apply to your lashes like you would mascara, but concentrate it at the base of the lashes. Next, grab one of the wisps and then place them along your waterline on the lashes. They surprisingly stick very well and I found the process to be very simple and easy. Just work your way along your waterline and since they are individual clumps of lashes, you can create a custom lash look (by either building them up or placing them where you want them; maybe you want to create a more cat eye effect and place them along the edges of your lashes). After you are done applying the lashes, take the Seal part and run it along the lashes underneath to seal them in.
Kiss also offers a Overnighter bond so you can wear these for up to 10 days, which really gives you that lash extension effect. They also have a remover to easily remove them.
So I absolutely love these and I am a changed woman when it comes to false lashes. These give you a lash extension effect and best of all, you don’t feel them. No poking, no worrying that one of the edges is coming off, you don’t have to worry about all that with these, which is incredible. For the photos I also didn’t apply mascara over top of them but if you did, the results would look insane.
Now in terms of removal, these were very easy to remove. I just put micellar water on a cotton pad and applied them to the lashes and then just gently pulled the lashes off. I will say though that the lash adhesive was tough to remove, as I still felt like my lashes were a little sticky when I woke up the next day. I haven’t tried their remover, but I would be interested to see if it removes the adhesive too.
Overall, if you are a false lash wearer, or if you love extensions but can’t justify the cost or just can’t do them like me, then you need to try out this set. I am already thinking of so many places that I’m going to wear these since they just add some volume and length to your lashes would be so perfect for everyday wear or to wear on vacation.
Kiss also offer a multipack of the lashes (C$12.99) for when your starter pack runs out, which I do recommend picking up. In general though, I think that this is a product that every beauty lover needs in their makeup routine. It’s absolutely incredible and a wonderful innovation.

I seriously can’t believe I am already writing about holiday beauty sets.
This is my favourite time of the year since a) who doesn’t love giving and receiving gifts, and b) it’s the best time to pick up your favourite skincare and beauty products since all the brands release amazing sets for an awesome price tag.
Kicking off the holiday beauty posts is one of my favourite skincare brands, Tula! Tula has released some amazing sets on their website and if you have some Tula faves that you purchase often, or just want to give them a try, then you’ll love what they have in store this festive season.
The brand sent me two sets, however, they have a wide assortment of others to choose from. So let’s dig in…
First up is the Time to Delight kit ($118, valued at $196 USD), which is a six-piece skin radiance collection. This kit comes housed in a pink holographic plastic toiletry bag, similar to the ones they had last year, and contains five of their bestselling products.
Now I get asked a lot about what my favourite Tula products are and this set basically has every single one of them (and the ones I use the most often). Included in this set is the Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser, the 24-7 Hydrating Day & Night Cream, the Filter Primer Blurring & Moisturizing Primer, the Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm, and the Protect + Glow Daily Sunscreen SPF 30 Gel. Best part is that they are all full-size products!
As you can see, this kit includes five of their bestsellers and really gives you a pretty complete facial regime. On a daily basis I use the cleanser, moisturizer, eye balm, and sunscreen, so with the primer thrown in, these are already products that I use consistently.
There are obviously other face kits that they offer for the holidays but I do find this one to be the best one since it also includes the sunscreen, which is my favourite sunscreen (the texture is just so good!). If you are a Tula fan already and need a refill of one or two products, then I would just buy this since honestly, the price is too good to pass up (plus score an additional 15% off it with code SHAYNA; it brings it down to $100.30, which is an amazing price!).
Now if you are a huge fan of Tula’s eye balms (honestly, who isn’t?!), then you’ll love their Eye Balm Extravaganza kit ($68, valued at $96 USD). This limited-edition set includes full sizes of their Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm, the Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm, and the 24-7 Power Swipe Day & Night Treatment Eye Balm.
Now you get a lot of eye balms in here but this is great to split up and gift to three friends or just break it up for yourself (you can have one for everyday wear, one for your gym bag, and one for your travel bag or on the go!).
If you’ve never tried Tula’s eye balms, they contain the brand’s famous probiotic extract formula, which helps to improve skin smoothness, hyaluronic acid to hydrate, eye peptides and collagen to help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, caffeine to open up the eye area, and more.
If you want to pick up this set, use code SHAYNA at checkout for an additional 15% off your order, bringing the cost down to $57.80 USD.
There are a ton of other Tula gift sets available right now, which you can find via the holiday section on their site. They also have a gift with purchase happening until October 31, so get your holiday shopping done early and get a little something extra with your order. My code SHAYNA works for the entire Tula site, which makes ordering something even sweeter since you can get an additional 15% off.
Now for my Canadian readers, as you know Tula is only shipping to the US for now and Sephora Canada does have Tula products on their site and in stores here in Canada. It doesn’t look like they have any of the holiday sets available as of yet and not sure if they will be carrying them. I know some of the items aren’t available in Canada at the moment, such as the sunscreen, so I don’t think the Time to Delight kit will be available to us Canadians here in the country unfortunately.
If you are in the U.S., I would recommend taking a look at their holiday items, especially if you’ve never tried the brand before. I’m telling you, everyone who has tried Tula has loved it. It’s worth the hype and then some!
Are any Tula sets on your wish list this holiday season?

Although I usually gravitate towards a powder blush, there is always a time and place for a cream blush.
Released earlier this year, Pixi introduced the On-The-Glow Blush (C$24), which is a cream stick blush that contains ingredients that nourish the skin. Available in three shades, Juicy (peach), Fleur (pink), and Ruby (fuchsia), these blushes are formulated with ginseng, aloe vera, and mix of fruit extracts to condition and hydrate skin.
Now the really cool thing about these is the fact that you can use them on both the cheeks and lips. All you need is one sweep for a beautiful colour and the colour range is great for practically all skin tones.
I love the fact that these include antioxidants so they have amazing skincare benefits to them while you are wearing them. They are also a vegan formula and not tested on animals, which is always a huge win in my books.
Now I love a good multi-use product and I think these are one of my favourite Pixi makeup products since I love the packaging on them and the fact that the colours are extremely wearable. The one I’m wearing in the photo is Fleur, which is my favourite shade since I usually wear a pretty pink like this on both my cheeks and lips (I’m just wearing it on my cheeks in the photo though).
These are a pricier blush, but I think that you will get tons of wear out of these since you only need a little bit to go a long way. You can find these at drugstores like Shoppers Drug Mart and although I love the shade range I’ll be interested to see if they release any more colours in the future.
