Do you love lotions and potions as much as we do? Do you often test tonics and toners because you’re curious? But then you get a rash? Are you constantly on a quest for your ultimate dream cream? Put an end to this cyclical beauty NIGHTMARE and figure shit out once and for all at Holt Renfrew’s Powder Puff Beauty Party on January 22.

Emily Weiss, the majorly successful beauty blogger behind Into The Gloss, knows things. She’s partnered with our favourite luxury department store to help you figure out what to rub, pat and spritz on your face. You want a beauty regime??? OH, she will give you one.

Launching on Jan 8th, Emily will provide you with a detailed January skincare guide (it’s more than just a functioning humidifier!!) that will be found on www.holtrenfrew.com.
