Summertime means outdoor music and festivals season is upon us! Time to bust out your prettiest and breeziest summer looks and look lovely while keeping your cool. This can be tougher than it seems under the hot summer sun, while we sweat and melt in the humidity. But I have a few tips for staying boho-beautiful while enjoying the sights, sounds and flavours outdoors. This advice is for fair weather! [...]
Not sure how I ended up on the Jurlique website – maybe I wanted some more rosewater? At any rate, I ended up on this page which is their Scent of Rose page. Sounded good to me. But what sounded even better was their Essence of Rose Roll-On Fragrance Oil. I love the scent of Jurlique’s rose scent. Their rosewater has a fresh pretty scent and is one of my favourites, [...]
Le Labo is a nifty perfume house out of NYC that has a cool aesthetic to their brand. Their counter/boutiques have an old school apothecary lab vibe and they dispense their perfumes while you wait, and print out a custom label with your name on it for your perfume. Gives it a perfume prescription feel, like it was made just for you. I’m on the fence on this concept, as [...]
I love “lash enhancing” products. That whole trend started with Latisse, and many came after. Almost every company has a lash enhancing product now. They are an actual drug formula containing a prostaglandin analogue that’s been studied and cleared by the FDA whose discovery came about as a side effect from glaucoma medication. They can help people grow longer, thicker lashes, but it, too, has some drawbacks and some mild side effects [...]
Wow! I love being wowed by something, and the new Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge shades from the Aqua Summer collection are so gorgeous! I fell hard for Coral and Baby Pink. They are so bright & summery and basically like a colour tattoo for your lips. Seriously – you cannot rub, wipe or smudge this stuff off without make up remover. It’s actually astounding. They aren’t slick or slippery [...]
Good heavens, Chanel! How do you make such magical and dreamy shimmers? Taboo (Le Vernis 583) is beyond gorgeous and I am seriously in love with this divine colour. It looks like a vampy deep red, but it’s flecked with purple, red and blue and just kind of incredible in any light. Application is a dream, and if I was super steady handed I could probably get away with one [...]
I often fall in love with beauty prodz that I think are sooo pretty (usually limited editions) and want to buy them immediately. But these likely things I would buy and then never use. So I exercise restraint and wait for the urge to pass, which it usually does. But, the newest nail polish from Chanel, Azure, kept singing it’s siren song to me. I got it home and thought [...]
I was thrilled to find out that Elle Canada has voted Daly Beauty in their Top 8 Canadian Beauty Blogs! I share the honour with some of my favourite bloggers who I love and who inspire me. Thanks, Elle!
I’ve fallen in love with another violet perfume. I should start by telling you the lovely and charming story of the latest perfume line that has charmed me – Imaginary Authors.- which is a new perfume house founded by perfumer Josh Meyer. What Josh says: “Imaginary Authors is born from the concept of scent as art and art as provocation. Like a good book, these scents are meant to inspire you. [...]
Guys! I have actually just discovered my absolute new favourite self tanning product. I have been a huge fan of St Tropez mousse forever – it’s been my go-to self tanner because it looks natural, applies dark which helps for even coverage, and develops quickly. I like that it is a thin product base vs a thick cream, as I don’t need anything to block my pores. It also doesn’t [...]
Virgin Island Water is a gorgeous unisex scent from Creed that somehow manages to feel modern and classic at the same time. The citrus notes feel fresh and “eau de cologne” like but make no mistake, this is no watery boring citrus. Right off the top a soft yet subtle coconut note feels like the Caribbean breeze. Not a sweet Pina Colada/Hawaiian Tropic coconut, this is more of a green [...]
We all know that feeling. You’ve just found a lovely new perfume – you’ve spritzed a paper blotter with it, it smells good, you try it on your skin. Then, something happens. That perfume becomes a monster, slowly but surely turning into a headache (and possibly nausea) inducing disaster on your skin. You try washing it, and nothing works. Well, there are a few things that do work. First, I [...]
