February Favourites: a first

Evening all!
So I am not really one to do "favourites" as you probably have noticed, this is my first of this series. I don't even know if anyone would be interested in what I am favouring for the month... but here goes.

First up is Schwarzkopf got2b smooth operator smoothing hairspray - This has to be the CHEAPEST(as in price) hairsprays that I have bought ever, yet it is one of the only ones that I like! I love it because it does smooth my hair, while leaving it super manageable. Another thing I like about it is the smell. I know. You are not suppose to inhale hairspray but while trapped in a cloud of it while styling, at least this one smells nice. $6.99CAD(ON SALE: $3.99CAD)

Over the past maybe 10 years I have had to deal with acne, and I can finally say that I found something that helps! When I first started this blog I think I did my second post(I don't think anyone read it) about Tanda. What is Tanda? A blue light therapy for acne; basically it kills that p.acne bacteria on the skin which causes acne. 
So why am I featuring it for my February Favourites? Well this month I have had many pimples appear out of "no where" and this little baby has saved me once again. (I wasn't using it for about a month, guess that taught me!) $250CAD/6000 treatments


Here is another favourite for my hair. Nexxus HEAT PROTEXX- Heat protection styling spray; this lovely spray has literally saved my hair from death! 
I tend to curl and straighten my hair quite regularly(every other day) and all this has caused damage to my hair. Thankfully I have noticed a difference when using this baby. It does not smell bad when heated, it does not feel sticky and you can literally not feel it in the hair at all. On top of that, it hydrates the hair, leaving it shiny and smooth. $11.99CAD.


Revlon Custom eyes mascara - I am VERY picky with my choice in mascaras. I actually tend to use false lashes every day. 
The reason I am featuring this mascara is because it has been the best mascara I have found to work with false lashes. It does not clump or flake. The brush is super flexible and is plainly awesome! $8.99-$10.99CAD


Lise Watier Metamorfix liquid transformer - This has to be one of my favourite products. It is awesome to help shadows with little pigment become more pigmented. It makes any powder into liquid, any eyeshadow into a liner or liquid eyeshadow. And on top of that, it makes the product last longer. 

EOS lip balm 'summer fruit' - I love this lip balm(as does everyone who tries it). I love the shape, smell, taste, size, EVERYTHING about it! Just try it... believe me.

Tända Clear™ Acne Light Therapy Treatment - .Natural.Healthy.Beautiful.

Do you suffer from acne? and nothing works?

Then I really suggest that you try this amazing treatment from Tanda. It is not your ordinary skincare and can actually be added to you daily routine. It is a blue light therapy that does not burn the skin or make it sensitive in anyway. I love it because it is easy to use! Basically the science behind it is that it 414 nanometre blue light kills all the p.acne bacteria, therefore shortening the lifespan of an already existing pimple or prevents further breakouts.

As someone who suffers from acne myself I have tried "it all" and even went to the dermatologist who recommended me to do blue light therapies in his office for $100+/treatment for about 5-10 treatments.... equalling ALOT of $$$. So I decided that buying the Tanda for $250 for 6,000/3 minute sessions wasn't expensive at all. It's actually saving me TONS of money!....

How to use:

They sell a starter kit that includes a free cleanser and blemish gel.

1. Cleanse face with cleanser and water, this cleanser will remove everything. including sparkles or glitter that can be in some makeup and skincare and actually acts like little mirrors for the Tanda.

2.Apply Anti -Blemish Gel only on concerned areas. Basically this gel levels off the skin to create a 90 degree angle for the Tanda to work properly.

3.Treat with the Tanda Clear. Don't worry about losing time on the Tanda because it has contact sensor, meaning that it only works when it is touching your skin. Apply the Tanda on concerned area for the full 3 minute session. You will hear one beep every 30 seconds and 2 beeps when the 3 minutes are finished. When I am done I use one 3 minute session by moving it all over the face to kill all bacteria and ensuring no breakouts.

Here's a video showing how the Tanda Clear works!

!!TIP #1!!: The Tanda battery dies when not plugged in. To store it either plug it in the charger or keep the little plug that come with it! Don't throw it away!

!!TIP #2!!: Do not clean Tanda with anything containing alcohol as it will cloud the lens! Instead I recommend using Bioderma Sebium H20 Cleanser
