Mascara Monday - Caryl Baker Max Lash Waterproof Mascara

Caryl Baker Max Lash Waterproof Mascara - $24.50 - inspired by advancements in hair care technology it's formulated with the fortifying keratin to wrap and seal each individual lash in a nourishing and protective coating helping to minimize damage and increase tensile strength while a unique blend of advanced polymers work synergistically to set and lock lashes into place for maximum all day wear.

Natural-infused ingredients are blended in a lightweight conditioning formula that nourishes, hydrates and helps protect lashes with a health and wellness approach. Lashes look more luscious as the mascara lengthens,curls and sets to create impressive eyes. Along with keratin and panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and vitamin E beef-up the formula’s nutrition to help ensure healthier and more luxurious eyelashes.

With a unique ergonomic brush is specially designed to fit the contour of the eyes to perfectly coat each lash individually with rich protection and intense black pigments that deliver smudge-and-waterproof long lasting wear.

It's a wet formula - so that combined with the curved brush created a bit of a mess until I got used to applying it - I ended up with a lot of it on my face - once it's on your lashes and dry it's not going anywhere though so  you will need a good oil-based remover to get it off!

Elizabeth Arden introduces a new fragrance that celebrates the New York state of mind - boldly living out load, making your own rules and leading the in crowd:

It has a little too much floral to it for my taste but it is a lovely smelling fragrance and I have smelled it on other people and it made me wish that I could do florals!

Demeter Mr. Bubble - 30ml Cologne Spray - $20, 120ml Cologne Spray - $39.50 - with sharp, fruity top notes of coconut, banana and peach; a floral heart of jasmine and rose; and base notes of balsamic vanilla and powdery raspberry.

The scent brings me right back to being 7 or 8 years old when the biggest treat was getting to have bubbles in that stupid bath I had to have instead of playing. Most baths were bubble free but if I had been especially good that day, I got bubbles - you can imagine this event happened rather seldomly - and I just loved seeing that big pink Mr. Bubble container coming out of hiding and turning my bath into a bubble wonderland!

The Mr. Bubble scent is available online at www.demeterfragrance.com - you can also find a curated selection of Demeter scents available at select Loblaws banner store locations including The Real Canadian superstore, but I'm not sure they carry Mr. Bubble - they do have my favourite - Cotton Candy though!
