Gooood morning Bay of Quinte!

The Royal Canadian Mint just dropped their latest flex - a dinosaur eye coin that looks like it escaped the Jurassic World prop department. For a cool $164.95, you can own one of 8,500 pure silver coins featuring Alberta's very own "reaper of death" tyrannosaur, which feels like a surprisingly metal move for Canadian currency.

Let’s get into the latest.

Tired of clumping and running mascara?

Tired of clumping and running mascara?

Get the lift, love the look! Lash lift and tint is the perfect summer service. This treatment curls and lifts natural lashes, creating a more awake and defined appearance. It is a semi-permanent alternative to using a lash curler every day.

The added tint in a deep black colour will add depth and make your lashes look longer and fuller. The lift and tint will last about 4-6 weeks, making your morning routine easy and breezy!

You deserve it.
