Have you tried anything from KJH.Brand yet?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle.

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

Thank you to .pr for introducing me to these incredible brands!

I am still in the midst of testing all the amazing goodies we were gifted at the last month - just check out all these incredible brands! 🤩

Here’s a quick overview of some of the beauty products I’ve been playing with lately. See any of your faves? ❤️

Did a beautiful hike this summer in Quebec, and looking out at all that gorgeous land was a true highlight of my year. ⛰️🌲Whenever I get overwhelmed, I look at these videos and they help ground me. Hoping they do the same for you if and when you may need it ❤️

Want to prioritize Canadian skincare brands? Check out .skincare (.products en français!) for effective, cruelty-free skin, hair, body, and nail care products made in Quebec. 🇨🇦🐰🌿

Their Refining Face Peel with fruit acids, witch hazel, and willow bark is my fave! Gives a lil reset whenever my skin freaks out during seasonal weather changes. 🥰

Still shook over how customizable .brand Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek is! 😍 I’m wearing it here as blush, lip color, and several shades of eyeshadow.

Soft Smudge be matte, shimmer, or glossy depending on how you combine it with other KJH products. And it’s not just the texture that changes - it’s the color as well! 🤯

To see it the transformation in action, check out my most recent reel! ➡️

Wearing Kendal pants, of course. Plus UV protection shirt and Weekender sneakers. My travel essentials!

Our trip may be over, but we brought lots of goodies back with us! These products are all from local producers in the Charlevoix or Île d’Orléans regions. 🥰

Which would you try first?!

Y2K makeup, but make it wearable for your 30s 😂💜

Getting to play with the re-release of has been such a fun throwback! ✨ I remember thinking they were the ultimate ~Cool Girl~ makeup product when they first came out and reading about them as a beauty must-have in every magazine (J14 anyone?! 😂) They were basically the “grown up” version of Lip Smackers!

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy.

Now excuse me while I reapply Lavender Latte and blast some Britney 👄💿

Do you remember these 00s classics?
