This week I'm obsessed with... Shiseido Benefiance Retinol Intensive Revitalizing Face Mask!

Shiseido Benefiance Retinol Intensive Revitalizing Face Mask - 4 pairs - $80 - a concentrated face treatment sheet mask that encourages skin's natural recovery function and provides a rich infusion of moisture to help improve texture.

With a single application of the vitality-enhancing complex it helps
restore youthful suppleness and radiance thanks to an advanced formula featuring pure liquid retinol delivery system to help combat wrinkles, dryness and dullness along  with chlorella plant extract.

The relaxing fragrance inspires feelings of comfort and calm and having both an upper and a lower mask piece makes the mask easier to apply and without the wrinkles and gaps you can get with one piece mask.

It's easy to use: after applying the lower piece, position the upper piece around eye area. Leave on for 15 minutes, then peel off. Smooth any remaining emulsion into skin with a light massage motion and enjoy your healthy looking and glowing skin!

Available at Shiseido counters across Canada and online at shiseido.ca.

Fragrant Friday - Yves Saint Laurent Libre

Yves Saint Laurent wants you to have the freedom to live everything in excess with their new floral fragrance - Libre - 50ml EDP - $125, 90ml EDP - $168 - with top notes of mandarin orange, lavender essence from France, black currant, and petitgrain; heart notes of jasmine, lavender essence and Moroccan orange blossom and base notes of Madagascar vanilla, cedar ambergris and musk accord.

It's a bold floral scent with a warm, feminine twist thanks to the lavender which I honestly didn't think I would like as I always think of it as an old lady kind of smell - but there is nothing old lady about this lavender!
