Eye Love Wednesday - Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Looking for a budge-proof summer eyeliner? Then look no further:

This week I'm obsessed with... Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel!

Summer is the hardest time of year for me to find a good cleanser - because I prefer to avoid anything heavy or creamy but still worry that the lighter formulas I choose instead won't be as effective at getting my skin really clean... that is until I tried:

Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel - 200ml - $19.95 - an ultra-performing, foaming gel that cleanses skin of all kinds of impurities including pollution, particles, dust and excess sebum and helps limit the damaging effect of hard water on skin with a Purisoft technology formula rich in moringa seed extract.

The gel has a really nice fruity fragrance, feels fresh going on, and turns into a rich and creamy foam that washes off easily for skin that is left deeply cleansed, fresh, soft and visibly purified and radiant. And because it is formulated to work with hard water, it's a great to take to the cottage - normally the well water makes cleansers feel like they leave a film behind but this one doesn't - my skin just feels totally clean!

Available at Vichy counters across Canada and online at vichy.ca.

I did have a really lovely pic of the Rule The World shade shown here on me but the camera decided to eat it instead of save it so enjoy this one from the Revlon site - they did a much better application job (or photoshop) of it then I did anyhow...

I really like the applicator for this lip polish - it has a reservoir tip which makes it much easier to achieve a precise, easy, mess-free application and the creamy mango and whipped vanilla fragrance is amazing!

Available now at drug and mass retailers across Canada.
