Magical: Corpa Flora Corpa Nutritive Body Treatment

Corpa Flora is a fantastic Canadian brand that I've been raving about since discovering them in late 2013. If you've already read my Favourites of 2014, then you would have seen that their skin care products are staples in my routine. Having tried out their entire skin care range, it only made sense to give their *Corpa Nutritive Moisturizing Body Treatment (aka body oil) a go as well.

Magical. This body oil is absolutely magical! I love that it comes in the same dark glass bottle, as all of their other products. Since I like to apply oils/moisturizers right out of the shower, this baby hangs out in there and because the pump is similiar to conventional store bought body lotions, it's so easy to dispense product without worrying about dropping the bottle or having it leak all over the place. The pump also locks, which I always appreciate.

Some of the beautiful oils that make up this gem are sunflower, pumpkin, macadamia, and rosehip; each containing their own beneficial properties like essential fatty acids, zinc, and antioxidants (vitamin A, C, and E). This combination makes the oil rich, yet light. It's so easy to blend on the skin, one to two pumps per part is all that's needed, and you're left feeling incredibly moisturized and nourished. The scent of this oil is hard for me to explain, seeing as I've never sniffed each individual essential oil used in it, however, I will say that it's a unisex scent. Spicy and citrusy. Definitely one many would enjoy or at least wouldn't mind. It doesn't linger for too long nor is it too strong upon application. I was really, really hoping that it would smell like Eclat Citrouille. Dear Celine, please make a body oil that smells like Eclat Citrouille! If you love body oils, I highly recommend trying out this one. It's beautiful! and magical, did I already say magical?

Acure Balancing Rose + Red Tea Toner

Acure is one of those brands that the entire green beauty community raves about. Their products contain lovely ingredients and are incredibly affordable. That being said, most of their products also contain argan, which my skin hates. When Lisa, of Glam Goes Green, said that she was going to be carrying the line, I was thrilled. She's the first retailer in Canada to carry it! She kindly gave me a bottle of their *Balancing Rose + Red Tea Facial Toner (which doesn't contain argan) to try out.

The packaging of this toner is quite simple and nice; a white cardboard box with Acure's logo and product name, and a little fun design that matches the frosted glass bottle inside. I love when a toner disperses a beautiful fine mist and this one totally does! It's perfection. The toner itself is, sadly, nothing to write home about though. While it has gorgeous ingredients, like rooibos, calendula, chamomile, witch hazel, and rose water, my skin is left feeling tight and dry. I attribute that to the antibacterial and antiseptic properties of rooibos and witch hazel. This would definitely be a great toner for someone with normal to oily skin, or in more humid climates/months.

Glam Goes Green in Bolton

Hello lovelies! Today I am super excited to share with you my visit to Glam Goes Green in Bolton, Ontario (Canada). Some of you may already know Lisa, she's pretty active on social media and a serious advocate for natural products. With 9 women in her life being diagnosed with breast cancer, she knew it was time to change her diet and overall lifestyle. She opened up a green spa, Serenity on the Humber, a couple of years ago but realized that her passion was educating. Educating people on the Obscene 13, how it impacts their body and skin, and providing natural alternatives to replace their beauty and lifestyle products. She quickly put the spa on hold when the opportunity to open up a store presented itself, and I could not be happier for her. Lisa's store is small, cozy, product packed, and absolutely beautiful. She carries a variety of products from hair care to skin care, tea to chocolate, and first aid remedies. With brands like Corpa Flora, Pure Anada, Honeybee Gardens, Real Techniques, Red Apple Lipstick, Chocosol, 100% Pure, and many more, you're bound to find something for you.

Flowers, entrance, beautiful!

Celine, Lisa, and moi! Excuse my entire self, I had been up since 7, went to work at the spa, then helped out (kinda) at GGG, and this was taken late at night.

Cute shop eh? If you can't make it to the shop, although I highly suggest you try if you're in the GTA or going to be near it, you can also shop online. Might I suggest the sale section?  Since the grand opening, Lisa has moved stuff within the shop around. She's also brought in Acure, which isn't available anywhere else in Canada, and it's selling like hot cakes! Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway happening soon, on here, with Glam Goes Green. In the meantime, check out the website and let me know what you're dying to try most.
