Favourites Products & Items of 2013

Hello All,

I'm back with a summary of all my favourite products of last year. I think I fell in love with lots of products but have fallen out of love with them as well. The lucky ones that I still love have made it onto this list. Without further delaying this process, please read on.

NARS Skin Purifying Cleanser

Philosophy Purity Cleanser

Origins Spot Remover

Dr. Jart+ Detox BB Cream

Bamboo Charcoal Soap

Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Powder in Sand Beige

Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Powder, works just as well as Bareminerals for a fraction of the price
Bath and Bodyworks Sleep Lavender Chamomile Body Wash

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Eau de Parfum

Burberry London Perfume

Honey Lip Cream Lip Balm from Japan - from my coworker, he's so sweet, he got this for me in Hong Kong

I'm super surprised that I don't have a favourite lipstick or lip gloss this year. I've been pretty much wearing lip balm most of the year. I didn't put coloured lipstick on unless it was a special occasion or when I felt like it. I've been having a pretty much no-make up look all year. Or at least most of the year.

Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Volumizer Spray Mousse



NUME Curling Wand


This even works on my super short bob 
| Jewelry |

Tiffany & Co Square Ring

A gift to myself from Tiffanys

Octagon Gold Ring with Diamonds from Florence, Italy

Clothing | Shoes | Accessories

Aldo Shavonda Boots - these aren't weatherproof, so spray layer weather spray on it if you live in a climate like mine. It is Wet outside!

Urban Behaviour Army Green Down Coat - an old favourite, no longer in stores. Sorry.

Mossimo Polka Dot Skinny Jeans

Impo Loafers in Pewter & Gold

Impo Pewter Loafers
Aldo Shavonda Boots

Some of my other living related and random items are listed below. Food favourites will be listed on my other blog, which could be found at yourinnergreek.blogspot.ca

M&M's Red "Wanna piece of me?" Mug from Las, Vegas

WTF Notepad from my friend Jacky - inside joke on this one

Damask Notepad & Sticky Notes from Michaels

OGGI Corporation Purple Travel Tumbler

Saje Natural Wellness Clear Ear tincture

Urban Behavior Goji Berry Candle (not sold in stores anymore, this was gift from my BFF years ago, still cherishing the last of it)

Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel

Greek Mythology books

Better Half of Me by Dash Berlin

The Truth by Handsome Boy Modeling School

Graffiti on the Train (Album) by Stereophonics

When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars

B!*#%, Don't Kill my Vibe by Kendrick Lamar

Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2 and everything Minion related!
Friends with Benefits - I'm in love with all of Mila Kunis's hair, makeup, clothes and jewelry from this movie. This movie is ridiculously funny and romantic at the same time. I normally don't like romantic movies, but because I look at it more as a comedy, it reels me in big time. Justin Timberlake is a hoot in this movie.


I love Mila's wardrobe in this movie. I went and bought this skirt from Theory.

I also had a love hate relationship with the TV series, Gossip Girl. It's an on again and off again kind of thing. But as I blog at this moment I am watching Gossip Girl Season 5. How ironic!


Happy Blogging and hope everyone had a wonderful year!

2013/11-12: November & December Favourites

Hello All,

Sorry for being away for so long. I simply didn't have anything new to share. But now I'm back with a favorites post.

Ear Ache Remedy: Saje Clear Ear tincture $14.95 at Saje.ca
Since cold and flu season has begun I've been getting earaches here and there. I swear this tincture works wonders and I've been using it for many years. It has never failed me.

La Senza supersoft underwear
A bit odd to share this but I must say these are the most comfortable underwear I've ever owned. I've tried many luxury brands before, but I end up going back to these.

Avia Sports Bras
Yes I did, I admit that I don't just wear them to the gym. I live in them. They work with a lot of the clothes I wear and they come in multiple colors and styles.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter
I must say this smells like YSL Baby doll. Well it doesn't just smell nice, it moisturizes well too. The scent lingers quite a while too. So usually after application I don't need to put perfume on.

Manic Panic Semi Permanent Hair Color in Vampire Red
This hair does work on my dark brown hair, but looks rather faint. I do like how you can only see my red highlights in the bright sunlight though.

Sneaker Balls Shoe Freshener
No one wants their shoes to smell. These deodorant balls really do work. You can buy them at most shoe stores, Winners, Marshall's & TJ Maxx.

Maybelline Lipstick 160 Fifth Ave. Fuchsia
I usually wear neutral tones, but occasionally I need a pick me up bright shade. This is the one lipstick I have been gravitating to the most this past month and a half.

LaCoupe orgnx Coconut & Macadamia Oil Shampoo
LaCoupe orgnx Coconut & Macadamia Oil Conditioner
These are a great simple every day shampoo and conditioner. Free of parabens, gluten or sulfates. It moisturizes my hair and doesn't make my scalp itchy.

Blistex Lip Medex
When weather changes, I tend to have random dry patches on my lips. This lip balm is like magic, it cured my dry patches in just two days.

Geodeo deodorant in Island
This is 97% natural, works well in deodorizing, smells great and doesn't irritate my skin.

Elf Daily Brush Cleaner
Affordable and efficient reminder to clean your brushes daily. The scent is a bit of a turn off for me, but I compensate by dripping a few drops of essential oils onto the paper towel in which I am cleaning my brush with. Certain essential oils also add disinfecting properties to the cleaner.

Live Clean Green Earth Invigorating body wash with Eucalyptus
Just an every day body wash that doesn't over dry my skin or cause skin irritations.

Danier Farrah Olive Leather Bag
This lovely butter soft leather purse has been a hit in my wardrobe. I specifically bought it to match a pair of brown boots I've recently purchased. I don't like matchy matchy, so I went for the laid back look. This purse can be worn as a handbag, shoulder bag or messenger bag. I enjoy the versatility very much.

Snuggles Lavender Dryer Sheets
I can't seem to get tired of the smell of Lavender.
