Vichy Aqualia Thermal Boosting Essence Water

First of its kind in Canadian drugstore's, Vichy Aqualia Thermal Boosting Essence Water* a skincare prepping product that feels like a serum. Provides extreme hydration to the skin, it's pretty much like a huge bottle of serum, it feels just like the Vichy Aqualia Thermal serum, same smell and same texture. It's light and thin which make it soothing to dry skin. After a day out on the water in the sun my skin gets so dry and thirsty and this stuff soothes and comforts it. I like applying it at night after I've applied a spritz of Avene Theremal Spring Water, then my Vichy idealia Serum and Vichy Idealia Eye Cream, then I used the essence water, and finish off with the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Cream. I always wake up with a soothe/hydrated skin, it's heaven! As seen on The Social Essence waters are like a primer for skincare, they prep your face for product that you want your skin to soak up, like serum and eye cream, so apply this before applying any of your other face product like, serum. Alot like a toner but you apply toner before applying essence.

You can find the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Essence Boosting Water at your local Shoppers Drug Mart

Burberry Eau De Toliette - Newest fragrance from my Burberry

I always find fragrances hard to write about, it's probably because I'm not right there smelling them and I'm only going off the ddescription from the press kit. This one is so elegant looking I almost don't even want to talk about the scent, and just focus on the pretty bottle, and luxury packaging.

Burberry Eau De Toilette for Women

A intoxication floral fragrance which captures the essence of  a fresh, spring, garden with it's blend of blooming rain-tipped flowers. Sounds so classy, and elegant, doesn't it?

Top notes include sweet pea and lemon flower, heart notes include peonies, peach flower and fresia, and finally base notes include damask rose, white moss and musk. Sounds delightful!

Models Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne are the faces for the new "My Burberry" campaign. The beauty of the "My Burberry" campaign is you will be able to personalise your own "My Burberry Eau De Toilette" bottle with up to three initials, through a monogramming service available on Burberry.com and select Burberry stores. How cool is that! A perfume bottle with your own initals on it, such a amazing idea.

Available July 2015 - Shoppers Drugmart, Sephora, Hudsons Bay

Burberry Eau de Toilette 50 ml $80

Burberry Eua de Toilette 90 ml $90

Sweat Proof Makeup

We’re in the middle of summer here in Muskoka, Ontario and some days are really humid and sunny which means you need some pretty good primer and foundation in or to not look like a melting DQ ice cream cake. Here some tips to beat the heat and look hot doing it.

1. Blotting Paper

This is a good one for those sweat brows and staches. This paper is designed to soak up access oil. Great to use before you apply your primer or for quick touch ups when out and about. Just grab and blot, it soaks right up. Some super popular options are, Jane Iredale Facial Blotting Paper, and NYX Tea Tree Blotting Paper.

2. Waterproof Mascara

When you out in the heat working ( or playing ) your mascara seems to leak of from the Suns beating rays and underneath your eyes, making you resemble a raccoon instead of a bronzed Greek goddess, so waterproof mascara is always handy. My favourites include Clarins Truly Waterproof Mascara,  and Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara in Waterproof version.

3. Setting Spray

A lot of people feel like setting spray is a unnecessary step in a makeup routine, well it might be on those windy, less hot days but when it’s +30 you want to make this bad boy your best friend. It’s great for not only locking in makeup so there’s not slipping or sliding ( or melting ) around, it also gives you a nice boost of hydrating and makes makeup look more natural and dewy. I currently use the Benefit Ultra Radiance Mist.and another ever so popular one is MAC Prep + Prime Fix.

4. Foundation Free

Usually when the sun is beating down no one want to wear heavy foundation, you can literaly feel it sliding off your face as the day goes on, that why I opt in for something a little lighter and more comfortable. Swap out your foundation for a BB cream, or A tinted moisturizer. This not only doesn't sweat off but it's super light and great to wear all day. Try and get something with a SPF in it for skin protection. I love using the Kiehls BB Cream for a great everyday look with a wee bit of coverage and Marcelle CC Cream is my other light weight foundation free favourite.
