I was on the hunt for my usual Pro-Derm Micro-Peel Masque (see review here), I was recommended the SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque by my cosmetic dermatologist clinic. Skinceuticals is the medical grade line of the company that makes Clarisonic. This is the first product I have tried from SkinCeuticals or the Clarisonic line - I believe the SkinCeuticals line is still fairly new to Canada.

Facts about my skin:
Skin-tone: Olive skin tone
Skin-type: Oily acne prone
Problems: Cystic acne on the chin and cheeks, large pores in the t-zone, and the odd wrinkle

If you have read any beauty blog or watched a YouTube video from US beauty gurus, you have heard of Sigma Brushes. They are said to be an affordable alternative for higher end brushes. I love high-end brushes just like the next girl - but since they usually start around the $30 price range for a blending brush but I was looking for a more affordable alternative to add to my collection. I put Sigma brushes to the test now that they are finally available in Canada!

You can find Sigma brushes in Canada (with free shipping) at ObsessedLook.com.
