Bonjou is Creole French for Hello, so Hello Beauty!

Canada is known for many things, but we’re maybe best known for hockey, maple syrup, snow…Drake, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion and Robin Sparkles. And, if you know who Robin Sparkles is - bonus points! One day, hopefully, Canada will also be known for Bonjou Beauty.

Hi! I’m Samantha Wharton, the founder of Bonjou Beauty and Style Escape. I'm mindful of time, so here’s a snapshot of the inspiration behind Bonjou Beauty. If you're bored or need to fall asleep, I put some more of the story after.

The long story short

I’ve always been super lazy about the time I spend on skincare and makeup. Yet, I somehow still always have cared tremendously about it, especially the ingredients that went on my skin.

It’s a lifelong puzzle, and after (many…many...many) years, I finally figured it out. I needed convenience and effectiveness, and that’s how Bonjou Beauty was born!

To keep a super long story short, I’ve dabbled with many different makeup and skincare products, including making my own. Bonjou Beauty evolved after working with chemists to bring exceptional products to market.

Organic skincare

Our skincare products are made with ingredients from a USDA-certified organic farm in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada (also known as Cottage Country).

Some other deets about us

Our photographer is Toronto-based Tarsipix Studios. Check out his portfolio.
Our makeup artist is Toronto-Based Jade Alliyah. Check out her portfolio.

Most of the models in the campaigns we use are my friends, family, and me! I feel it makes a difference to see real people who also use the products daily.

Other than some minor touch-ups the photographer does to the initial photos, we do not use Photoshop or filters, so these photos represent what we look like wearing the makeup.

Header photo look

I’m the worst pool player, but I did my makeup for this photoshoot and liked it! Bonus: It only took 10 minutes to get photoshoot ready!

Products used:

2-in-1 Beauty Stix (foundation and concealer) in C85
3-in-1 Beauty Stix in 302 on cheeks and eyes
3-in-1 Beauty Stix in 301 as cheek highlighter and eye highlighter
Cream Brow and Eyeliner in Chocolate for my eyes and brows (I also blended some in with the Beauty Stix colour to get some eyeshadow depth)

Outfit: A romper from my sustainable clothing store, Style Escape.
