Nivea Lip Care
Living in the part of the world that I do with all the wind and cold weather I’m constantly trying out new lip balms. One of my new favorites is Nivea’s Lip Care in cherry. It goes on smoothly and adds a hint of color and shimmer to my lips. It keeps my lips feeling moisturized and protected. This lip balm contains almond oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter, ensuring that the moisturizing lasts. It’s also dermatologist tested so it’s safe for sensitive skin like mine – I didn’t have any reactions to it.
Available at your local drug store for $4.

Hiking
Although not beauty related, I wanted to share some photos.
I went hiking this past week. It was absolutely beautiful, although a little hazy off in the distance because of forest fires in British Colombia.
We checked out a backcountry campsite we were thinking about camping at in a few weeks. This is the view from the campsite. It’s stunning. It took us about an hour and a half to hike to the site.
Another great view from the campsite. We made reservations for the campsite on the way back home. I can’t wait til we can go and wake up to this!
The two big patches of what looks like snow on the right are actually glaciers.

Maybelline Intense XXL Volume & Length Microfiber Mascara
I’ve been using this mascara for awhile now and I’ve really been enjoying it. Most of the time during the summer I like to keep my beauty routine pretty simple – mascara, lip gloss, and blush. Because of that I really like how this mascara makes my eyes look bigger – without a lot of effort.
This is a two step mascara – the base coat is white and lengthens your lashes (the website says up to 40%), while the black top coat provides the volume (up to 6x according to the site). I found that it did add length and volume, and made my lashes look great.
One of the things that I really like about it is that it doesn’t clump when you put it on. I’ve tried other two step mascaras and it’s just a mess when you try to apply the second step, but this one applies really well.
I was telling a friend about it and one of her concerns was that the top coat wouldn’t cover up the white first coat. I told her though that it covers really well and you don’t have to worry about walking around with white lashes.
This formula is available in washable and waterproof, as well as two colors, black and brownish black. Check it out at your local drugstore.
