My favourite Lash Serums - Save and Splurge Picks💕

✨Lash food Eyelash Enhancer -
This is “first & only Ecocert Natural Eyelash Enchancer.” Its formulated with a Phyto-medic complex which is a herbal extract, Arginine, lavender water and soy proteins. This is Prostaglandin free which is the main ingredient that can cause irritation, itchiness and it can cause the skin to darken. This one is over $100 CAD . It’s definitely a splurge! They stopped selling it at Sephora sadly which is why i gave the “save” option below a try. (Lash food, please bring this back to Sephora Canada!)

✨The Ordinary Multi-peptide Lash and Brow serum
This one is a water-based serum and it is formulated with four peptide complexes and natural extracts. This one is prostaglandin free as well. Some Ordinary products are too strong for my skin but this lash serum is gentle. I haven’t experienced any irritation from using this product. This one is $15.80 CAD.

I love the Lash food brush over The Ordinary brush because it’s not as stiff. However, they both do work! You see results after 4-5 weeks but you have to be consistent! Patience is key.

Have you tried these? Which is your fave?

My favourite soup this time of year is butternut squash soup 🍂🍁 It’s so easy to make too!

Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
1. I like to cut the squash in half and drizzle olive oil and sprinkle Cajun spices on top.
2. Bake for 45-50 mins depending on the size of your squash.
3. Take out of oven, and scoop out the flesh and place in a blender.
4. Add 1-2 cups of chicken stock. I like to make homemade chicken stock (celery, carrots, chicken thigh, garlic, thyme and oregano) but you can use store bought as well. I like to add the celery, garlic, onion and carrot along with the broth.
5. Blend away and it’s ready to serve 😍

Hi everyone! Just a little re-introduction.
I’m Sara. I run Swon Studios with my husband, Dan. My husband doesn’t like to be photographed so here I am! Alone…🤣 We specialize in custom illustrations and animations. I love all things skincare, beauty and wellness.

Comment below and say hi! I would love to chat❤️

✨Fun fact: What is Swon? It is my first name and my husbands last name combined. We know many Daniels so everyone calls him Kwon. And “Swon” was born.

These are my favourite acne products for sensitive combination hormonal acne-prone skin!

1. Pore Normalizing Cleanser - Great for unclogging pores. I leave this on for 5mins before cleansing in the morning.

2. Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10% - Since I started using Differin I had more acne scars from all the purging but this helped fade my acne scars and hyperpigmentation faster. It helps prevent future breakouts and helps calm active breakouts. This one is formulated with bio active brightening complex, bio-retinol and niacinamide. Note: This product is not available in Canada so I got my husband to bring it back from LA. You could get it prescribed though.

3. Adapalene Gel 0.1% - This is the star acne product. I went through a couple purges while using this but it is so worth it. I noticed my skin was smoother and the little white bumps under the skin reduced a lot! I started to see results past 3 weeks. If you are struggling with cystic hormonal acne, add this to your routine.

4. Combination Moisturizer - This is a great simple moisturizer for combination skin. The sensitive formulation made me oily but this one helps control my oil.

If anyone is interested in my AM/PM routine, comment below : )

I’ve been a fan of for awhile now but I wasn’t able to get my hands on her skincare line because it’s not super accessible in Canada. My husband brought this back for me when he was in LA😍

This is my first product and it did not disappoint! If you haven’t tried azelaic acid before, you need to add this to your routine👌🏼 I’ve been using this product for over 3 weeks and I’ve seen a noticeable difference!

This one is formulated with niacinamide, bioactive brightening complex and bio-retinol.

It is a game changer for hyperpigmentation/uneven tone&texture and cystic hormonal acne! Highly recommend this product!👌🏼

I will definitely ask my husband to bring back more Naturium products on his next LA work trip! 😆❤️

I miss Single’s Inferno🤣 I actually liked the cast. There was a lot drama and wtf moments but I was happy with the ending.😁

Did anyone watch Single’s Inferno? Who was your favourite couple?

I can’t believe we lost our favourite TV Dad, Danny Tanner. 😭I teared up reading all the posts from the cast members. I grew up watching Full House with my sister. I actually still watch the show on Netflix from time to time, even though it’s super cheesy because it brings back so many memories.

I need this candle! 🕯I love the smell of coffee but I’m not a huge coffee drinker.🕯

Do you like drinking coffee or just the smell of coffee? 😆☕️
