ISO Beauty Pure Gold 24K Deep Facial Mask
Masks are all the rage and an essential part of your beauty regime. Using a hydration mask at least once a week can dramatically improve your skin. It takes about 30 minutes and can be a meditative routine too. Since masks are wet and sometimes drippy, the best way to use it is laying down horizontally with a towel behind you. It is hard to watch TV or be one the computer while you are waiting for the ingredients to absorb through your skin’s pores.
The skin olympic games is serious and going for the GOLD standard is easy with ISOBeauty’s 24K Mask. It is made of Collagen and water with 24K gold flakes. This high density plant collagen mask does tear easily so be very careful when pulling or stretching it. It feels soft, cool and wet. The wetness absorbs after 20 minutes and you can remove the mask after 40 mins. It has Hyaluronic Acid, Heronsbill Essential Oil, Arbutin, Mountain Lily, Minerals and Gold Dust.
The key ingredient is the nano-gold bits that brighten, moisturizes and tightens your pores. Overall, I think this mask was really fun to use but at a $50/use price tag (6 for $300), I will only reserve it for special occassions!

Save your Skin with Evermore
I had the pleasure of meeting Nick and trying Evermore this year at Cosmoprof Las Vegas and immediately saw how special him and the products were. This product has 4 items and they all have their own restorative and repairing functions. It is difficult to have the discipline and time to take care of your skin with an active lifestyle so Evermore is a great solution. The key feature is the product has no fragrance at all. If you have sensitive skin, fragrance or a ‘masking’ fragrance can still be a factor to irritate it. So Evermore is really scentless.
Besides the skincare, the story of how Nick started the brand is also pretty cool. See below and check out their products on Amazon!
Evermore Skin was founded in Huntington Beach California where sunshine and the beach is a way of life. Living in sunny Southern California leads to a very active lifestyle where being exposed to the elements takes a toll on your body and skin. Growing up, my family and I spent countless hours camping in Carpinteria State Beach, sailing to Catalina, night diving for lobster, spearfishing the Channel Islands and many other outdoor activities. My Mom was always a stickler for putting sunscreen on all of the kids. I hated the way it felt and never wanted to put it on, but after getting sunburned a time or two, I quickly realized the importance of protecting, repairing, and restoring my skin from the sun and other natural elements.
In looking for something that would protect and restore my skin, I found several skincare companies that catered to women, but had a hard time finding a men’s line or even unisex products. So I decided to create my own. After extensive research I found a scientific laboratory to create a anti-aging skincare line that was specifically designed for all skin types, creating the perfect combination of modern technology and natural ingredients to bring you Evermore Skin.

DAFNI: Never Have A Bad Hair Day
Ever feel like shopping for the perfect hair iron could be comparable to a mission to Mars? The sales person speaks really fast and in a language that is more than definitely Martian talk – color, heat levels, heat up speed, ceramic, non-ceramic, shape, weight, smell (kidding!) but the list goes on. Meanwhile, you blankly stare and nervously reply “so the iron does straighten my hair and it won’t catch on fire?”
Sharon Rabi (co-founder) has answered our endless search for the perfect product – DAFNI
The Design
Designed like a brush; you can’t help but already be familiar with how to use DAFNI and makes the average time to straighten your hair a lot faster. Our experience was about 7 minutes.The Features
The outer bristles are anti-static and heat-resistant. The tips are designed to protect the scalp and are heat-resistant providing a comfortable hair straightening experience. The inner bristles have 3D ceramic heat so it straightens your hair whichever way it curls. Can’t remember if you switched your iron off? No worries, that’s what the automatic shut-off button is for!
The How To
- Start with dry and brushed hair – I divided my hair into four parts to make sure I didn’t miss a strand.
- Brush and pull slowly with DAFINI – I found brushing from underneath (placing hair on top) the easiest way to straighten my hair. Go over as many times needed, the results vary from hair thickness and texture.
- Make sure your hair gets deep between the bristles and comb through slowly.
DAFINI retails for $249.99 each at showcasecanada with free shipping included.

Gilding the Lid: Introducing touch in SOL’s The Metallist
All that glitters is gold (and silver and copper!) with the introduction of The Metallist from Korean color cosmetic powerhouse, touch in SOL. Designed to gild eyes in metallic and jewel-toned hues, Metallist features a two-in-one superfine liquid foil cream shadow and chunky glitter shadow to bestow long-lasting, eye-popping color.
Combining crease-proof liquid metal pigment with show-stopping glitter, Metallist offers bold, buildable color that stays put all-day. Worn all-over the lid or simply along the lashline for a more subtle finish, each element of the Metallist can be worn separately or combined to put the spotlight on eyes.
Shades:
– Margaret, a rose-gold champagne with gold mica shimmer
– Eldora, a golden cocoa
– Talia, an icy-silvery gold pyrite
– Adelio, a radiant burgundy with crimson foil
– Lottie, a deep, smoky plum
How to wear:Wear each step alone or combine for a high-impact metallic finish.
– Step 1: Superfine Liquid Foil Cream Shadow. Apply the long-lasting, budge-proof cream
shadow to eyelids and along the lash line.
– Step 2: Chunky Glitter Shadow. Gently pat the glitter shadow on top of the cream shadow before it dries to turn up the intensity.
Pro Tip: “Say goodbye to minimalist, this season is all about the shine. After applying the liquid foil cream, apply the chunky glitter by patting it on quickly so it sets with the cream and lasts all day to create the Rebel Eye look. You can also apply the loose glitter in the center of your lips to create a futurist pout,” Resident makeup artist and brand ambassador, LeAura Luciano
Touch in Sol Metallist will retail for $25 each at Sephora and on Sephora.com.
