Prestige LightShine Sheer Gloss Liner for lips. This unique liner provides a subtle line that mixes well with sheer lip glosses. Can be worn alone, or mix it up with any lip gloss or lipstick. Available at London Drugs, or wherever Prestige Cosmetics are sold. We love these (~$7 CDN)!
NeoStrata Skin Brightener: Kerry Anne gives a full review of this product from NeoStrata.
Because aging is more than wrinkle deep, NeoStrata launches Skin Brightener with 20% Vitamin C.
Clinical study results up to 88% improvement in the uniformity of the skin.
What will it do for you:
• Even out skin tone
• Inhibit and target discolorations
• Restore youthful glow
• Reveal flawless complexion
(Available at Shopper’s Drugmart, or wherever NeoStrata is sold.)
Lush Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask: This amazing face mask is made from fresh ingredients and therefore is only available in stores, not online. Ingredients include: ginger root, parsley, rosemary, fennel, lime, and free-range eggs. Seven Ayurvedic herbs are used for their inherent cleansing properties, kaolin soaks up excess oil and chlorophyll helps heal irritated and red skin. (Bella Sugar has a great review!)
Pure Radiant Energy (”PRE”) This local Vancouver company has some exceptional products at very affordable prices. We review Revitalize Skin Therapy Cream and the Hydra Therapy Masque. Sadly, these products are not available online yet, so you have to come to the Vancouver shop to get them! (Read the Company’s Story here.)

Thank you SO much for inviting me as a guest-host!
Loved this week’s show!
It was very refreshing to have a guest host on giving their perspective. I love following Raul on twitter and his blog and it was a treat to hear him on the podcast too. Sounds like you all had a really good time!
It was good to hear some stuff on products for men too. My husband isn’t very in to cologne and it’s hard for me to keep track of what’s out there for men. So, now I’ve got a few names floating around in my head that I might be able to get him to try out (eventually).
[...] if you want to find out more about what I talked about with Kerry Anne and Airdrie, go and listen to the podcast. RIGHT NOW. Ok, good. Now, let me know what you think Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! [...]
This episode was very inforative to me. I really enjoyed the male perspective on scent.
Do you have the link for Shoppers Drug Mart’s new high-end store Mural (not sure of the spelling) that you mentioned on the show? I’m in Ottawa and very interested! Thanks!
