Eye Love Wednesday - KISS Lash Couture Faux Mink Collection

KISS Lash Couture Faux Mink Collection - $7.99 - in 6 luxurious styles: Midnight, Noir, Little Black Dress, Gala, Boudoir and Pitch - with all the beauty of a mink lash - plush, voluminous, soft and lustrous - without the use of  furry little minks but rather a combination of human and synthetic hair.

The strips feature an exclusive knot-free lash band that allows you to layer lashes to your heart's content and blends with your natural lash line for a more natural looking effect while the lashes themselves have multiple lengths, curls and angles with naturally tapered ends that mimic a natural lash look - and are reusable up to 10 times - making them a humane and thrifty choice!

This week I'm obsessed with... The Estée Edit White Mud Exfoliating Scrub + Mask!

The Estée Edit White Mud Exfoliating Scrub + Mask - 75ml - $44 - a dual-action detoxifying and pore refining mask and exfoliating treatment that draws out impurities and removes excess oil and shine making it perfect to deal with my post-winter dullness, uneven texture, scary pores and oiliness.

It has a super-fine, creamy-smooth white porcelain clay formula that when applied to clean skin and left for 15-20 minutes works as a mask - or for added benefits, before removing, apply a little warm water and massage to take advantage of the powerful jojoba exfoliating beads that will gently banish skin of flakiness, roughness and blackheads for a soft, smooth complexion.

Available now exclusively at Sephora, sephora.ca and esteelauder.ca.

Fresh Black Tea Firming Corset Cream for Face & Neck

Fresh Black Tea Firming Corset Cream for Face & Neck - 50ml - $122 - a firming cream for the face and neck that helps with dryness, fine lines and wrinkles and immediately visibly improves skin's elasticity and strengthens skin, providing a corset-like effect for a more lifted and defined look.

Needful Things - Tweezerman Complexion Cleansing Brush!

Tweezerman Complexion Cleansing Brush - $21 - gently cleanses and washes away impurities with velvety soft synthetic bristles that can cleanse deeply and gently remove pore clogging dirt and dead skin.

It has lots of practical features: a flat base that allows the brush to stand upright; a convenient, ergonomic shape that makes it comfortable to hold; a tilted brush head that allows water to drain so bristles will dry thoroughly and retain their shape; and includes a cap for easy travel and storage.

Now I know a lot of sensitive skins do not enjoy a cleansing brush because no matter how much they claim to be gentle enough for sensitive skin, they always feel too rough - which is why you have to feel this one, you will not believe how soft it is, feeling is believing - and as an added bonus, it's pink!

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for the Face - 8 strips - $9.99 - with pore strips for your chin, cheeks and forehead - anywhere on the face where clogged pores may appear to lift away deep down dirt and blackheads.
