Lust after all things Burberry? Then you'll love the new Burberry Beauty cosmetic line, inspired by the iconic trenchcoat. Face, lip, and eye products feature a neutral palette of khaki colours and soft metallics encased in sleek metal compacts that echo the brand's classic check pattern. Smooth creams and lightweight powders are as wearable as they are luxurious.
Exclusive Canadian retailer Holt Renfrew opens a new beauty counter to coincide with the worldwide launch on July 14.
Forget the fuss and mess of a liquid- or clay-based facial mask. Mask sheets, like the ones developed by Vancouver-based MyFaceWorks, offer a disposable, biodegradeable cloth soaked in active serums and cut into the shape of your face for maximum absorbency and minimum mess (great for travel, too). MyFaceWorks offers 12 different kinds of facial masks, from eye treatments designed to hydrate and minimize puffiness and dark circles to antiaging treatments packed with antioxidants. I Need to Wake Up (pictured, box of 6 masks, $60) instantly brightens, moisturizes, and smooths out fine lines -- we love it! Available online at MyFaceWorks.com
