I’ve always really loved Lincoln vehicles and I always love taking in some fine dining, so when you pair the two together you really do get a luxurious experience.
This past weekend, Lincoln loaned me the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, their new compact luxury SUV which replaces the MkC. This SUV features a V4 engine, 295 horsepower, and 310 lb-ft of torque.
Now when it comes to Lincoln vehicles, I am a huge fan of all the features since they always go above and beyond with what these cars have to offer. Some of my favourite Lincoln features are in this vehicle, include the cool illuminated branded welcome mat when you go near the vehicle, as well as the heated steering wheel and massage seats. I found it really cool to go through the car’s features on the 12-inch display and play around with the different mood lighting (there are a number of different colours you can change the ambient lighting to), as well as the different Apple CarPlay integrations.
Driving this vehicle last weekend was a real dream and it was a luxurious ride to get us around the city. Last Friday I picked up a friend and we went to Enoteca, which is one of my favourite restaurants here in Winnipeg. This restaurant is located in the city’s River Heights neighbourhood and offers small plates for sharing.
It was a smooth ride picking up my friend and then driving to the restaurant. By the time we left it was already dark, so the jewelled LED headlamps really came in handy since they feature a smart technology that responds to the road. If you are driving on a road that bends and curves, the headlights actually move with so it always gives you a clear view (which really came in handy when I dropped off my friend and saw a deer run across the road a little ways up).
Now if the weather was bad while I was out driving, the Corsair actually features a drive mode selector, which means that if it’s slippery out or deep conditions, then you can cycle through the types of drive on the dashboard. If you want to take it further with the customization, the Corsair has personal profiles which it picks up by the key fob. When the car senses the fob it automatically adjusts your seat position, audio, and ambient lighting preferences.
The next day I took the Corsair all the way to The Forks to head to Smith at Inn at The Forks for brunch. Since it was a beautiful day last Saturday, the panoramic vista roof was really pleasant since it let in all the natural lighting. I also really loved the piano key shifter to switch between the different gears, since it freed up the centre console and was something different. It took a while to get used to, but when I did I really enjoyed it.
I could seriously go on and on about the features of the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, but I recommend you head to a Lincoln dealership and give it a test ride. As we head into chillier months having those heated massage seats and heated steering wheel was a real pleasure, same with all the fun special features that the SUV has to offer.
Have you driven the Lincoln Corsair?

When it comes to holiday gift sets, one brand that is always a good idea is Laneige.
I always say that my desert island beauty product is lip balm and my favourite one is hands-down Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Balm. I have been using this lip balm for years now (I’m actually still on my original one after at least three years – it lasts forever!) and have turned so many of my friends onto this lip balm as well.
If you haven’t tried it yet, usually the brand comes out with limited-edition scents and for the holidays they have released their iconic balm in Gingersnap and Peppermint (C$26 each). Now if you want to take it further and are looking to gift this balm, then Laneige has a variety of different gift sets available that will put a smile on the face of whoever receives them.
For the ultimate Lip Sleeping Mask fan, take a look at the All Nighter set (C$39, valued at C$46).
This set contains a full size of the original Berry flavour, as well as minis of the holiday flavours of Gingerbread and Peppermint. This set is awesome since you get one full size and then two minis to carry around with you or to pop into different bags (one for on the go and another for a travel bag). You can also buy this set and then split it up amongst friends too so you can bang out three gifts in one.
In case you aren’t familiar with the formula, this lip balm helps to keep lips nourished, as well as helps with fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, and dullness. It contains a Berry Mix Complex with Vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as a Moisture Wrap Technology, which will keep lips nourished all night long (you can obviously use this during the day as well).
Now if you love the Lip Sleeping Mask and their Lip Glowy Balm, or have tried one but not the other, then you’ll love the Dream Team set (C$26, valued at $30).
This set contains a full size of the Lip Glowy Balm in the Berry flavour, as well as a mini of the Lip Sleeping Mask in the Peach Iced Tea flavour.
So if you aren’t familiar with the difference between the two, the Lip Glowy Balm is meant for daily use and is a little thinner than the Lip Sleeping Balm, which is more intense and thicker (but with that being said, it’s not too thick). Neither of them have a sticky texture and I find them to both be comfortable to wear. I love to keep the Lip Glowy Balm at my desk for touch ups throughout the day. They also smell amazing and just overall, worth the hype.
Laneige also has two other holiday sets available, the Midnight Minis set (C$24), which contain five minis of the Lip Sleeping Mask in the Berry, Sweet Candy, Gummy Bear, Lemon Sorbet, and Mint Choco. They also have the Brighter Days set (C$49, valued at C$63), which has a full-size of the Radian-C Cream, a mini of the Water Sleeping Mask, and a mini of the Berry Lip Sleeping Mask.
All of these sets are available at Sephora and if you are interested in picking any of them up, it’s currently the Sephora Holiday Savings Event on until November 15, where Rouge members get 20 per cent off, VIB receives 15 per cent off, and BI gets 10 per cent off. Just don’t forget to use code YAYHOLIDAY at checkout to get the discount. I look forward to this event every year and it’s the perfect time to pick up holiday gifts early.
Are any Laneige sets on your holiday wish list or giving list?

When it comes to foundations, one of the most iconic ones there is is Estee Lauder’s Double Wear (C$54)
This foundation, which is the brand’s number-one foundation worldwide, is a matte foundation that gives you flawless skin with a 24-hour wear. This foundation is oil free and also helps to keep oil in check all day long, as well as being sweat, heat, and humidity-resistant and waterproof.
Available in a staggering 56 shades, this liquid foundation suits a wide range of different skin tones and helps to even out the skin and cover up imperfections thanks to its buildable, medium-to-full coverage effect.
Now as much as I love my foundations, this year was the first year that I have tried this one out. As the number-one selling foundation in Canada, I have been curious about this one for a long time since everyone always raves about it. Estee Lauder actually sent me a shade of this earlier this year, however, the colour I chose was a tad too light for my summer tanned skin, so I didn’t get the chance to use it until recently..
I got shade 1N0 Porcelain, very light with neutral undertone, which is great for my paler fall/winter skin. This foundation goes on smoothly and settles down really nice as well. I would definitely say it is a buildable coverage, which is nice since I don’t like anything too heavy, but enough coverage so my skin looks flawless.
As for the wear, I found it held up really nicely throughout the day and did settle or fade away at all. I also found it comfortable on the skin and not drying; honestly it was like I wasn’t even wearing anything on my skin.
I’m looking forward to wearing this more throughout the season, but as you can see in the swatches above, the coverage is impeccable and it really does leave you with a flawless effect. At $56, it is definitely on the higher-end pricing, but I think there is a reason why it is Canada’s number-one selling foundation.
