Rated this place:

There's something instantly gratifying about buying new beauty products. For that, I head to a place that’s pure eye candy -- Sephora. While I’d love anything from this beauty haven, I’m currently craving something Tarte -- a makeup line with “skinvigorating” ingredients that improve the health of your skin. Sephora also carries Paul and Joe makeup, which I love, and there's just sooo much to choose from that you'll always find something you need or want. And if you need to stock up on makeup brushes or buy a new makeup bag, this is definitely the spot.

Heaven on Earth

Rated this place:

This IS Beauty Wonderland. There are several locations in Toronto, but this is definitely your one stop for a variety of beauty and cosmetics brands. Bright and colorful, Sephora has a friendly and knowledgeable staff. You’re welcome to test all the products and there are stations set up for free makeovers! Shop here for top brands like Stila - I love Stila for lip glazes and foundations. You can even shop here for their signature line!

The essentials

Rated this place:

I like the Sephora line of makeup tools. Their brushes are high-quality and priced affordably. And the selection is huge. If there's anything you ever thought you'd need a brush for, Sephora carries it. I also go nuts over their rubber hair ties. They come in black and brown and last forever -- way longer than your standard Goody elastics.

Lipstick

Rated this place:

The Tarte moisturizing lipstick has a very light color that looks natural and stays on all day.

Makeup

Rated this place:

They do offer a huge variety of makeup and perfume. I love that they carry a perfume line that smells like "clean wet laundry", "fresh cut grass" and even "bandaid". Weird, but awesome! I'm a huge fan of Smashbox. They have the best eyeliner. Strange thing to have a strong opinion on - eyeliner - but I'm a girl and girls have strong opinions on everything we put on our faces.
