We already love Ilia Beauty, but now are more in love and extra excited for the new editions to the line! Introducing the new Essential Shadow Palettes and On & On Natural Brightening Eye Primer.

Ilia started with cream based eyeshadow and multi sticks, which we have loved for that creamy finish. However what has been missing was powder eyeshadow. The wait is over - we are so in love with the two new palettes! They are pressed with a blend of healing plant-based ingredients and are 100% talc-free (aka they feel as good as they look).

Introducing the two palettes - PRIMA & LUNA.... we've fallen in love (it's impossible to pick a favourite)

Meet your new go-to everyday neutral palette, PRIMA!

These stone-inspired neutrals will sculpt and emphasize your eyes, naturally.

These shades are absolutely stunning, including: Moonstone, Jasper, Rosa Tea, & Moka.

Now time to meet LUNA, your new go-to for a soft, shimmering look during the day or layered for sultry drama at night.

These gorgeous rich metallics will make your eyes POP!

How stunning is that blue!? Shades include: Pyrite, Slate, Copper, & Onyx.

These natural and mineral eye shadows are build-able, pigmented and last all day especially paired with the Brightening Eye Primer.

It takes two seconds to apply this feather light formula but makes the world of a difference for long lasting, crease-proof and intense colour. It also instantly brightens using a unique combination of brightening mineral pigments, hydrating aloe, regenerating rose hip oil, and de-puffing arnica.

These palettes are basically perfection! Come play with them in store or check them out online here.

Mother's Day is just around the corner (May 14th to be exact) and we've got you covered for some special gifts for the special women in your life!

Here are our top three categories for MOM:

1. CANDLES: We all love candles so much, and they make the ultimate gift. They smell great, look great, and prompt relaxation! 

Above we featured Vancouver Candle Co, & Hollow Tree. We also love Woodlot & Himalayan Trading Post candles! 

2. SKIN: A luxurious body butter or body oil are sure to be a hit with the moms! We love the Sugar Kiss Body Butter from Lalicious (I can't handle how good it smells), & the all-natural All Over Elixir from Graydon Skincare (for face and body).

As for the face, there is nothing more relaxing and indulgent than a beautiful mask from Tata Harper such as the Resurfacing Mask. Your Mom will love the instant glow she gets from this all-natural non-toxic product! Also new in from Ilia Beauty is the coolest product (pun intended)... the Cucumber Water Stick! It's basically a stick version of a cooling toner, that adds hydration, awakens, de-puffs, soothes, and preps skin for moisturizer and makeup - all while stimulating collagen production! It's a must have for summer!

3. BEAUTY: Mom's are often busy and want a quick solution for a makeup look. We know she will love anything from the all-natural RMS Beauty line, but especially one of the Signature Set Palettes. These palettes have all the cult favourites from highlighter, bronzer, lip & cheek - all in one easy collection. We also know that anything from the luxurious line from Oribe Skin & Beauty will be the ultimate gift for Mom, such as The Lacquer High Shine Nail Polish. What about 'The Red' - it's a classic! It doesn't chip and it's an 8-free formula (aka no nasty chemicals).

We hope you enjoy your Mother's Day Celebrations and know that she'll love her gift! Paired with one of Kardz Kouture cards, you're completely set up for success!

Ps. Thank-you to all the Mom's and mother figures in the world. WE LOVE YOU!

I absolutely love a candle that burns super evenly, actually permeates an entire room with scent, and is made with quality ingredients like soy wax and cotton wicks. This is when I start to gush about Vancouver Candle Co. candles. Oh and of course the best part is that they're locally made! (does the name give it away...?)

These candles are so incredible in every way, from the colourful boxes, to the little descriptions on the packaging, to the minimal design. 

Each neighbourhood has a unique scent profile inspired by its character. You literally cannot go wrong with any of them. The original Vancouver neighbourhoods smell amazing, but the new editions of the Toronto neighbourhood collection gives us eight more candles to obsess over!

Vancouver neighbourhoods include: Fairview, Gastown, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Point Grey, Strathcona, Yaletown, & North Shore.

Toronto Neighbourhoods include: Distillery, High Park, Leslieville, Queen West, Rosedale, The Annex, The Beaches, & Yorkville.

A little trick to ensure the best burn is to keep your candles wicks trimmed (about a quarter inch long) before lighting. Thankfully they made a wick trimmer to help us do that effortlessly. It is gold-plated, shiny and beautiful sitting next to your candle.

Vancouver Candle Co. candles are the ultimate artisanal product! Using traditional techniques, these candles are handmade in small batches with premium soy wax, 100% cotton wicks and natural essential oils that are carefully combined with cosmetic grade fine fragrance oils. Absolutely no harmful additives! You will find each candle is numbered and signed for quality control. Also they burn for 60 plus hours! (30 plus for the travel sizes.)

There is a reason why this line has achieved a cult status - hellooooo heavenly scents! They also make the perfect gift for any occasion, especially the travel size tins for that extra add-on!
