How is it already the middle of December?! How have I already had ONE Christmas dinner?! My God, this season is absolutely insane, but thankfully I have fun treats for everyone from Farleyco to make it alllll better!
Starting with some new products from So...Fragrance?, these are incredibly wearable body mists ($4.99 CDN) that come in eight different scents ranging from sweet to floral to a little musky. I have the scents: Pink Grapefruit*, an energizing citrus scent, Fresh Floral*a blend of peony and peach blossom, and Vanilla Milkshake*, a mix of sweet vanilla, peach and plum. Vanilla Milkshake is the sweetest of the three I have and is probably a scent I would have worn when I was younger, but my fave of the three would have to be Pink Grapefruit. All of the scents dry down very subtle and last a couple of hours on the skin.
So...Fragrance? can be found at Uniprix, Guardian, Brunet, Pharmasave, Familiprix, Proxim, Value Drug Mart, Pharma Choice and Farleyco (www.farleyco.ca)
I adore these 7th Heaven face masks and ever since we did a CBB Mask Off three years ago, I constantly have a few of these in my collection because there is just such a wide variety of mask textures. There are creams, sheets, muds and in this case peel-off and all are at the very minimum vegetarian when it comes to their ingredients. For some reason, the winter season always leads to my skin feeling congested whether it's from stress or the chocolate I am wolfing down on a constant basis and detox masks like this Charcoal Peel-Off Mask* give my skin a reset when I need it. I love peeling these masks off, but I do find them a bit drying so I tend to hop in the shower right after.
You can find 7th Heaven at fine retailers across Canada including select London Drugs, Apple Drug Mart, Brunet Pharmacy, Familiprix, IDA Guardian, Overwaitea, Lawtons Drugs, Pharmasave, Proxim, Uniprix, Value Drug Mart stores.
We all get super dry lips around the winter season and though my lips don't get too terrible in Vancouver, I know that when I spent 2 weeks in Montreal I thought my lips were going to remain permanently pruny because no amount lip balm seemed to satisfy them. The Flexitol Lip Balm* ($5.49 CDN) is a medicated lip balm for very dry lips and should be used no more than 3-4x a day. This is a petroleum-based lip balm that contains cocoa butter as well as a parabens for those who are concerned. It does work, is very comfortable to wear and I don't feel the need to reapply for hours.
The Flexitol Lip Balm can be found at select Rexall PharmaPlus, IDA Guardian, Proxim and Pharma Choice stores.
It ain't the holidays without some stuff for the tub and bath bombs are such a fun gift to give AND to receive! The I Love...Bath Fizzers come in two halves enough for two baths although you can always be selfish and use the whole bomb! I used the Strawberries and Cream one and though it is sweet, the creaminess balances it out and just makes you feel quite peaceful and chill.
I Love... is available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Saving the best for last are some perfect stocking stuffers with Ecotools and Real Techniques! Who wouldn't love ANYTHING from these brands?
The Ecotools Ultimate Shade Duo* is a great little starter kit for someone looking for good quality, decently priced eyeshadow brushes. These two brushes are best used for powder and cream shadows and are pretty good at creating a quick smoky eye.
I have been super excited to try out the new Real Techniques Dual-Ended Expert Sponge* which is intended to be used DRY and for foundation on one side and contour on the other. I have had good luck with both their foundation and contour sponges so why not combine two of good thing to make a SUPER SPONGE!
Ecotools and Real Techniques can be found at select Rexall PharmaPlus, Pharmasave, London Drugs, Guardian IDA, Brunet, Familiprix, Jean Coutu, Proxim, Uniprix, Lawtons Drugs and Peoples Drug Mart.
There is so much more within each of these brands so if you are looking to put together a well-priced beauty gift of some great quality products, give these winners a go!
