I found this lovely product totally by fluke when I picked it up at Shoppers and was surprised by how much I liked it because it was indeed ultra moisturizing. I like that even if I don’t use a lotion after I come out from the shower, my body still feels nice and smooth the next morning. It is also inexpensive and can be found easily at drugstores & supermarkets. -

Not only is it a light enough scrub for everyday use, the Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub has a great formula that leaves the face slightly moisturized. Most scrubs will leave your skin feeling a bit dry or in need of a moisturizer. This one, though, is perfect as is. It’s great for those nights when you don’t have a lot of time and just want to give your face a quick treatment before you hit the sack. -

It is THE BEST thing your skin will ever experience. The sea salts do a great job at exfoliating your skin and the oil that the sea salts sit in the container with gives you the perfect finish. You won’t even need to follow up with a moisturizer. It is best used once or twice a week. Also a good time to use this product is before you shave or go in for a wax. Your legs will come out feeling much nicer. I've been using this product for many years and each container has lasted me for at least a year and a half. I highly recommend giving this sea salt a try! -

When you have good make-up brushes, you need to take good care of them by cleaning them regularly. One of the important steps in brush cleaning is actually drying them properly. For this purpose, I found this nifty little gadget online called The Brush Guard. It is a flexible tube that is used to hold the bristles of the brush together when it dries. You insert the handle of the brush through one end of the tube and then pull it through to cover the hairs of the brush. In doing so, it keeps the hairs together so the brush retains its proper shape. Thus, it prolongs the life of the brush.
Before I physically saw the brush guards, I thought they were going to be of light foamy texture (like the protector thingys you sometimes see on pears at the supermarket). When I received my actual brush guards in the mail though, I was pleasantly surprised by how durable they were. They almost looked like they were made with fishing wire. That makes stretching them out to fit around the handle a little bit more difficult, but it definitely holds better. I really like the fact that the ends are glued or burned together so the “wires” don’t come apart easily.
The brush guards come in 4 different sizes and you can get packages with specific size brush guards or try them all in the variety pack. That comes with 6 brush guards - one large (for powder/kabuki brushes), 2 mediums (for foundation brushes), 2 smalls (for blush brushes), and 1 extra small (for eye liner/shadow brushes).

Travalo, a mess-free and travel friendly atomizer. Instead of carrying a whole bottle of perfume/cologne with you everywhere you go, atomizers allow you to carry small amounts of perfumed liquids so you always have some on hand when you need to freshen up.
Back in the day, I used to use the Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Refillable Travel Spray, or “the bullet” as I used to call it, but buying the refills got really expensive. I’ve also tried the atomizers from Sephora, but they leaked and were difficult to fill without a mess. This is exactly why I love the Travalo. At the bottom of the pocket-sized spray bottle is a pumping gadget. All you need to do to fill the Travalo is take your fragrance bottle, remove the nozzle, insert the little tube into the bottom of the Travalo and start pumping.
On the side of the bottle is a contents window that lets you see how much fragrance you have left inside it. This is also useful for when you are filling it so you know how far along you are. The little container holds about 50 sprays which, for someone like me who uses it only on occasion, can last for months. When you’re done you can easily refill it again.
You can check out the Travalo at your local Shoppers Drug Mart. The ones with the beauty boutiques should have them on circular displays where impulse items are featured. They come in different colours and are great for gals to keep in their purses or for guys to keep in their cars.
