| Luxury Gifts for the Holidays: Rowenta Beauty, Clarisonic, Dior & Lancôme |
Clarisonic Opal Infusion System
The Clarisonic Opal is a battery powered hand-held device that uses sonic micro-massage to deliver anti-wrinkle ingredients to the skin around the eyes. It specifically targets crow’s feet and is meant to be used in conjunction with your favourite eye cream/serum. In 30 seconds and by using sonic vibrations (125 times per second!), eye product is massaged into the skin and reaches deeper layers targeting fine lines/wrinkles.
Rowenta Beauty Curl Active
The Rowenta Beauty Curl Active is a ceramic curling iron that automatically rotates your hair around its barrel at the push of a button…..essentially curling your hair for you! Take the guesswork out of home hairstyling with this easy gadget that promises fabulous results. Features a 1 1/4 inch barrel that heats up quickly & settings that allow you to customize the barrel rotations to suit your style needs.
** The Curl active is on sale right now at Trade Secrets in Canada. Save $80 for a limited time and get this hair tool essential for only $99 CDN!
Clarisonic Aria
We love the entire Clarisonic family but this year the Aria takes the cake! Not only is it a thorough way to keep skin looking smooth and radiant but it’s also gentle enough to use 2x daily. At 300 movements per second, the Aria removes twice as much dirt/oil and 6x more makeup than just using your fingers! It also makes a great travel companion (has universal voltage & can be charged using a USB) has a longer battery life and comes with various speed options.

Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara
Mascara can be luxurious too! Our top pick is Dior’s Iconic Overcurl Mascara that promises spectacular volume and curl. It features a curved wand that coats lashes from root to tip and delivers on it’s claims to hold a curl! It’s also smudge-proof (always a plus!) and comes in black, brown and navy.
Lancôme ArtLiner 24H
Lancôme makes some wonderful eye liners and recently came out with ArtLiner 24H – bold shades that offer 24 hour hold (a waterproof formula!) and ultra precise application! We’ve been loving Shade 02 Or, a gorgeous gold that is effortlessly precise and dries to a vinyl finish.
