You could say I'm really passionate about shopping for beauty products. (I'm passionate about shopping,  period .) I could spend hours in stores like Sephora and Murale, and I often get lost in time at the beauty counters in most department stores, like Nordstrom and Holt Renfrew. I have many favourite make-up and hair products that are on my "I could not live without" list. Here's hoping these never get discontinued! Here are five of my most favourite products that I always recommend: Moroccan Oil: I love going to hair salons that use Moroccan Oil . It smells delicious. I also love the Moroccan Oil Body Lotion, because then I can smell yummy all over. The Moroccan Oil I use on my hair leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and soft, and doesn't weigh it down at all.  I use it every day, on wet or dry hair. It takes away frizz, too. You can pick this up at most hair salons. It is totally a hair game-changer. It costs $43.00—a little expensive, but tru...

Fall is the perfect excuse to update your look—new boots, new clothes, and new make-up. Why not step into fall with a fresh new look, right? I could (and often do) spend hours in Murale stocking up on all my beauty supplies. From all the cosmetics to the perfumes and body lotions, they carry all the products I love and use religiously. New blush? Check. New eye shadow? Check? New shade of pink lipstick, because that's all I wear? Check! I love when it's Fab and Free time at Murale, because I get to shop for all the products I need and want, and then I get rewarded with a pretty cosmetics bag filled with—get this—over $288 worth of beauty products. Inside this cosmetics bag you'll find skin care, cosmetics, and nail polish from B. Kamins, Benefit, Bioderma, Clarins, Clinique, Darphin, Deborah Lippmann, Estee Lauder, Smashbox, Lancome and more. How awesome is that? Very, very awesome. With Fab and Free, there is a two-part offer that you can take advantag...

Beauty obsessed. Yup, that's me. One thing I love the most about having an office downtown is the fact that my building is located directly beside Murale. When I found out that Shoppers Drug Mart was opening  Murale across Canada, including a store in my very own city, I was so excited! Murale, in case you didn't know, is Canada's number one beauty destination . Every store is huge and airy, and all your favourite products are easy to find. I love stocking up on my Chanel make-up and my favourite perfumes, and I always get my eyebrows done at the brow bar over my lunch break. In and out in 15 minutes means I'm a very happy customer. All the best luxury brands are available in Murale, too: Bobbi Brown,Yves Saint Laurent, Lancome, Clinique and many, many more. I can't tell you how many times my lunch hour consists of shopping trips to Murale! Now you know as much as I love shopping for cosmetics and fragrance, I also love a great deal, and...
