Beauty product of the month

I know that using an eyelash curler before applying mascara can mean all the difference in the world for fabulously long lashes. But sometimes I don't have time for that extra step in my beauty routine. That's why I love products that do double-duty, such as L'Oréal Paris Panoramic Curl, extreme curl & separating mascara.

It's patented curved brush lifts and separates, while the special formula curls and holds lashes all day long. After using it one particularly harried morning, I looked bright-eyed—even if I didn't feel bushy-tailed. Suggested retail price, $10. Available at drugstores and mass retailers across Canada.
