Spray your way to glowing skin with Quo Dewy Skin Mist!

Quo Dewy Skin Mist - 45ml - $19 - an all-day setting spray that locks in makeup with a hydrating, dewy and radiant finish. Use the lightweight mist under or over makeup to help set it and moisturize skin or over makeup for an all day glow.

This is the kind of thing that I would recommend keeping in the fridge to refresh skin during hot summer months but that seems kind of unnecessary at the moment...

Cold weather must-have - Zorah Nita Cleansing Foam

I love a foaming cleanser but find many of them too drying for cold weather use - that is until I discovered:

Zorah Nita Cleansing Foam - 150ml - $26 - an airy textured foam that deep cleans thoroughly and gently, removing makeup to free the skin of its impurities and reveal natural brightness.

With its formula based on plant extracts, pure argan and oils including burdock extract to flush out residual makeup and impurities, detoxify and remove excess sebum - for skin that is soothed with its natural glow restored.

There's a lot to love about this product, and the whole Zorah line - best of all it's Canadian - designed and manufactured in Montreal - their mission is to make high-quality cosmetics that outperform the top synthetic products on the market, using only organic, eco-friendly and fair-trade ingredients, use recyclable materials and are certified cruelty-free by PETA.

The products don't include mineral oils (petroleum) or animal fats, parabens, GMOS, propyleneglycol, synthetic perfumes, PEG, PPG, sodium laureth sulphate, EDTA, phthalates or other ingredients harmful for health or the environment.

Available at select natural food stores across Canada and online at zorahbiocosmetiques.com.

Needful Things - Magnetix Core Brush Collection

Let your brushes breathe and have fun displaying them in their full glory with the most innovative makeup brush collection ever:

Magnetix Core Brush Collection - $45.99 -
includes four essential vegan brushes for flawless application: the classic Powder Brush, the angled Contour Brush, exclusive Flat Foundation Brush and the Eyeshadow Brush, all within a magnetic steel frame.

With a gorgeous rose gold design and magnetic handles that stick to any steel surface, to save you the hassle of finding long forgotten brushes laying at the bottom of your drawers, keeping them secure.

The clever frame not only makes a great place to store the brushes but also makes for an easy way to dry after washing - just hang the brushes upside down to keep water draining off from entering the base of the brush head and loosening the adhesive bond.

Say goodbye to cords with the Conair Unbound Cordless Auto Curler!

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the only way to curl your hair on the go was with curling irons that ran on butane cells - they might still exist, but running around with toxic gas in your purse seems like a questionable idea - especially when a much better alternative now exists:

Conair Unbound Cordless Auto Curler - $129.99 - add curls or waves anytime, anywhere with a ceramic curl chamber that reduces frizz and adds shine, resulting in beautiful, silky hair that looks like you just stepped out of a salon.

It's very easy to use: choose your heat (up to 400 degrees fahrenheit) and select your curl direction - left, right or mixed - they insert 1 inch sections of hair into the curl chamber, press and hold the button to begin curling - wait for the beep and release the perfect curl - easy peasy!

The compact size and cordless design makes it perfect for travel and on-the-go styling - and no gas to blow you up - it charges with a USB cable with a full charge earning you 60 minutes of use.

As someone whose hair won't hold a curl for more then a couple of hours, it's a real game changer being able to sneak off to the bathroom to perk my wilting curls back up in no time or effort at all!

Available at drugstores across Canada.
