I think I would wear this for a fun girl's night out!Corinthe LipstickThis sheer almond colour is will give you a rich coloured pout this spring.Calioppe Velvet Matte Lip PencilThis colour reminds me a little of nutmeg with a dash of pink.

A Little Christmas Cake is always Good 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Recently I was in my favorite book store "Chapters" and was surprised to see several Cake products there. Now in case you are not aware of "Cake", I am not talking about baked goods (though I do love a nice slice of cake), but a Canadian company that is taking North America by storm. They carry a sweet selection of bath and body products that are so unique that they will definitely catch your eye.It seems that the Indigo bookstore chain was one of the first Canadian retailers to feature Cake Beauty's much anticipated holiday collection, Bake me a Cake as Fast as you Can. Very smart.Lisa Richards of Cake Beauty told me "Cake's delectable products are sure to leave you and your readers feeling luxuriously pampered all winter and the nourishing ingredients will help banish winter blues".This 2006 holiday collection is a limited edition and is sure to be snatched off the shelves quickly.Frothing ThreesomeThree moisturizing bath and shower froths that are infused with Virgin Read more:Christmas

AVEDA Spring/Summer 2007 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I know that it is still winter and we have not even got to Christmas, but I wanted to share with you the Aveda Spring
/Summer
cosmetic collection that will be coming out in February.Aveda have developed three spring colour palettes that capture the beauty trends from New York's Fashion Week.ZEN BLOOMSWith citrus green for eyes, sugary pinks for cheeks and lips, Zen Blooms look is "fresh and flirty".- Sundew/Watercress Triple Accent*—a soft, satin rose for lips and cheeks paired with a fresh, citrus lime for eyes.- Jamberry Lip Glaze*—a sweet glaze of pastel berries.- Plum Fresco Petal Essence Face Accent—shimmering fuchsia lit with gold.- Moonstone Shimmer Accent—a liquid shimmer of pearlized pink.SPANISH SUNThis palette offers a tango of fiery bronzes.- Coco Plum Lip Tint SPF 15*—a spicy hint of chocolate raspberry.- Tangelo/Pantana Petal Essence Eye Color Duo*—a seductive duet of tropical salmon and rich cocoa.- Moss Eye Definer—a deep, exotic, moss green.- Papaye Lip G
Pure & Petal Hair Fragrances 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Elizabeth Pyshnov of Montreal, Canada, has developed four fresh fragrances that are specifically for the hair.Elizabeth says "I wanted my hair to smell freshly-washed between showers. I tried to use eau de parfum on my hair, but not only was I worried that the alcohol would dry my hair, I also found that traditional eau de parfum and eau de toilette were too heavy and overwhelming when used on hair".Pure & Petal launched in November of this year and will provide you with silky feeling, fresh-out-of-the-shower smelling hair, all day long. With silk protein and provitamin B5, these products won't cause frizziness or dry your hair out.If you are like me and hate having to wash your hair every day, just to keep it smelling great, using a hair fragrance can allow you to skip a day or two of washing and styling, while still keeping your hair fresh. Another great feature is that these fragrances are so light that you can wear them and your favourite perfume, without them competing again
Hair Perfect 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Have you tried the new Herbal Essences line? I usually go for salon brands but was encouraged to try the revamped Clairol products.I was a little nervous as I haven't had many good experiences with drugstore type brands - they usually dry my hair out, but thought I'd give them a go. I have been using the "Totally Twisted' shampoo and conditioner for curls and wavy hair. It smells so good - french lavender, which is one of my favourite scents. My curls are defined and not frizzy. My hair feels soft and looks shiny.I decided to try another collection from the group and just purchased the "Color Me Happy' for colour treated hair. This one smells very fruity and says that it has a fusion of acai berries and satin extracts. I find that using these products is quite relaxing in the shower, as the scents are almost therapeutic. The 'Color Me Happy' products are excellent too and my hair is looking great.The old Herbal Essences had 13 different shampoos, 13 conditioners and 16 Read more:Perfect

Prime Before You Paint 1970-01-01 00:59:59 NARS have just launched their brand new Makeup Primer that has an SPF of 20 and PA++.PA stands for protection grade of UVA (tanning, darkening, aging rays). The highest level of PA is +++, this means you will not get tanned or basically will not be exposed to 99% of the UVA, so PA+++ is saying: "you will not get tanned from this and if you wear it starting when you're young you won't get any UV-induced wrinkles". skingeek.comThis primer is similar to the original - it is the perfect canvas for long-wearing foundation with a natural appearance. It promises to hydrate and assist in easing the signs of inflammation and redness, whilst improving skin texture.This primer can be worn under foundation, powder or alone. I will be popping over to Holt Renfrew to see if they have this item as I'd love to try it.$33.00USD for 1.7 Fl. Oz. 50 mLwww.narscosmetics.com Read more:Paint

Spa Towells 1970-01-01 00:59:59 HopSee Inc. is a small company out of Garland, Texas, that was founded in 2005 by Lisa Baker and Ellen Persefield. Their first product Spa Towells is a unique portable body lotion in the form of a cotton towelette that looks a bit like a wet wipe.Each towelette is individually packaged in a little foil packet, making it perfect for traveling or popping in your purse. It has enough lotion to moisturize your entire body.Spa Towells contain a "perfect balance of natural oils, conditioners and humectants to assist in reinforcing skin's natural ability to attract and retain moisture."I found that the Spa Towells gave my skin a lovely sheen and I can really see this being fantastic in the summer for smoothing on your exposed limbs before hitting the town.The only two comments I have are:If you are environmentally conscious, the foil wrappers may put you off as they are not biodegradable.I have been trying to figure out what the fragrance of this product reminded me of and for the longest t

Bath Body Junky 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Are you a bath and body junkie? Do you like to pamper yourself in the bath? Here is an online store that is sure to please. Bath Body Junky
is a one-stop online shop for the most tantalizing, aromatic imported body washes and body butters. Everything is imported from either Australia, Italy, England, or France - so you won't be able to find these products anywhere else.Jenny from Bath Body Junky tells me that the Fruitify Mud Mask is one of their top sellers."It's unique and fun, and it's got ingredients that are healthy and beneficial to the skin. One of the things that makes Bath Body Junky different is our focus on beauty products that not only "beautify" but also purify and nourish the skin. Fruitify Mud Masks are kaolin clay-based cleansers with natural, nutrient-rich additives like avocado oil, apricot oil and ginger oil, all of which are high in Vitamin E (which as you might know is a vital antioxidant for the skin) and other vitamins and minerals."This Australian treat is on
Skin MD Natural 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Skin MD Natural
is a hypoallergenic, dermatology tested shielding lotion, which blends moisturizers with a light silicone material. This liquid shield bonds with the surface of your skin to keep out bad irritants while holding in the skin's natural moisture, keeping it supple and smooth.Generally, hand lotions have to be applied often to keep skin soft and moisturized - and it tends to come off when you wash your hands. Skin MD Natural actually bonds with the skin so it will last for a minimum of four hours per application - even if you wash your hands.I have been using Skin MD Natural for about four weeks now and am seeing such a remarkable change in my skin, especially my hands. I am a bit of a germ freak and wash my hands many times a day. I find that my hands in the winter become itchy, start to crack and generally don't look very good. Using this product has made my hands smooth, soft and there are no cracks! The thing that really amazed me was, I seem to get a mild case o
