2015 if about to come to a close and as most beauty bloggers like to do, I’m pulling out my best of beauty picks for the year. These products aren’t all new to the shelves this year, but they’re all new to me and they’re products that I have reached for again and again, regardless of the season. Continue reading

BITE Beauty Rewind Lip Set – Review & Swatches

I seriously considered whether or not writing about the BITE Beauty Rewind Lip Set seems as it was limited edition but as of writing this (Boxing Day) it’s still available online. I’m also so enamoured with the formula of the BITE Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayons that I’ve gotta share the love.

For All the Cat Toys in the World…

Entertaining Korra is not easy. She spends most of her days sleeping in our bed, but even if we try to give her new cat toys (be it a cat nip mouse or laser pointer) she is rarely interested. Even a laser pointer only gets her excited occasionally. I hope we just haven’t found the right toy yet, but maybe she’s more like Dylan and I than I thought and just likes to sleep a lot.For All the Cat Toys in the World.... | Up the Rollercoasters

You’d think we’d have learned by now that cat toys just don’t interest her. We have a shelf full of crinkle balls and toy mice, but her favourite things to chase are ping pong balls. And occasionally the laser pointer. If she’s in the right mood. 😉 Continue reading

It’s a LUSH Christmas | Haul & Review

LUSH Christmas 2015 | uptherollercoaster.com

I recently went on a tiny purchasing spree at the mall – I couldn’t leave the LUSH Christmas collection completely untouched – and while I think I was perfectly reasonable, Dylan was giving me the side eye as I was checking out. I mean, I was going to pick up Yog Nog and Reindeer Rocks soaps but I held off. That’s something right?

Reliving Childhood Memories with Demeter Fragrance Library

This post contains products that were sent to me for my consideration. Go here for my disclosure policy.

Way back in October the Canadian Beauty Bloggers collaborated with Demeter Fragrance Library and their Scent Inspired Memories. Unfortunately my package got lost in the mail so I didn’t get to participate in the actual campaign. Demeter was so delightful to remix my scents and send me a brand new package. I was practically dancing with excitement when my package landed on my doorstep!

I had completely forgotten what scent memory I had in mind when I was initially in contact with them, so it was a bit like Christmas morning when I opened up the package. Would I smell like cookies? Rain? Outdoors? Apparently I picked thunderstorms, which is utterly perfect. Continue reading

I’m back! Kind of. I still have one more final exam tomorrow before I’m completely done, but I just couldn’t hide my adoration of the BITE Beauty Agave Lip Mask. This was part of my parents Christmas gift to me, but because they gave me the money to buy what I wanted I was able to pick this up before the holidays and give my poor peeling lips a much needed pamper.

Guest Post: Tis the Season with Amy

Hey everyone! I’m still stuck in finals land, but it will be over soon! Hurray! But before we get there I’ve got a stunning holiday themed makeup look from Amy. That eyeshadow is BEAUTIFUL. – JodiTis the Season with Amy

Hey all! It is time to get festive and nothing shouts Christmas quite like red, evergreen and glitter. I wanted to incorporate a little bit of everything into this Christmas appropriate look therefore it is pretty dramatic but who doesn’t love a little drama? Hope you love it just as much as I did!
