Cover FX Toronto Beauty Internship Opportunity!!


So this was the exciting news that I mentioned I was going to announce earlier. I will be starting a new internship in my field of study starting in May so I will have end my internship early at
Cover FX. This is quite a bittersweet ending for me but I'm excited for the new intern that will take over!

This was an eye-opening and rewarding experience for me on the behind-the-scenes of a Canadian cosmetics company. I learned a lot in the areas of Social Media, PR, Marketing, Sales, and Training that I would have never had a chance to explore. Everyone at Cover FX was a joy to work with and get to know! They are one happy supportive family :)

Here are my past blogposts on my Cover FX experience:

Oh I know what you mean about endless browsing in Sephora! I do that all the time now! One thing I love about Sephora in my mall is that there is always so many customers there that the SA's usually leave me alone, so I don't feel pressured at all but I know what you mean about makeup hauls adding up FAST! There are sooo many products I want to purchase but not so much money in the bank to support it! lol Oh and I want to ask you about your opinion between bobbi browns shimmer bricks and nars illuminator, which do you prefer/suggest? My friend uses the nars illuminator and it looked so good on her I had to ask her what it was!
