Sisterly love…. My daughters have been having a lot of fun with inventing fun manis lately. The last two they did were so cool they got featured on The Kit Nail Art Gallery! They are super fun and I am in awe of their skills. The mani above is Biddy’s. She used Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear Blue It on the base, with a partial top coap of Nicole by OPI [...]
I love powdery scents. They are comforting, and harken back to simple sweet times. I always loved the scent of baby powder and wore it when I was a pre teen as a sweet “perfume”, along with my Love’s Baby Soft. I have also used J&J Baby Lotion, for its light moisturizing and soft powdery scent. My daughters use it sometimes and it takes me back to when they were [...]
Just dabbing a bit of perfume on before bed…what? Of course I wear my fur to bed, silly! This is a tough category, as we all have our own ways to feel sexy and beautiful, and the scent we choose is no exception to that individuality. I do think there are seasonal sexy scents, some work better in warmer weather, some in cooler weather, and there are different kinds of [...]
Blue green algae…. Jojoba seeds… Jeune d’Age Première Cleanser is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. It is a non foaming cream cleanser with a gentle exfoliating action. It contains gentle ingredients like jojoba oil for moisturizing and Rooibus Tea for it’s antioxidants and healing properties. With my oily skin I don’t tend to be a fan of cream based cleansers. They are terrific at removing make up and dirt, [...]
I was at one of my favourite beauty/lifestyle/spa boutiques the other day- it is called Thann. If you are not familiar with this stunning boutique, Thann is a boutique that features a range of all-natural hair, skin, and body care, for women and men, formulated from botanicals and essential oils by combining the art of natural therapy with modern science. All products are dermatologically tested, paraben free suitable for even the most sensitive of [...]
After driving my cabrio all summer, and just being out in the sun, my summer highlights were completely bleached out. I wasn’t ready to re-do the highlights but needed to refresh my ‘do. Time for a toner! I go lighter than my roots but a wee bit darker than my highlights. Toners also smooth the hair cuticle so my hair feels soft silky and smooth. Not to mention shiny! Check [...]
Jane’s Lip Balm Obsession, Chapter 1 million, continues. And the latest I have tried is a new offering from Biotherm, Beurre de Lévres, aka Lip Butter. I love the Biotherm line, it is gentle, the products smell good, and they don’t make outrageous claims. I used a lip gloss they made a few years ago- it was a clear jelly with sunscreen and it smelled like oranges. I loved it [...]
From top: Original, Sin (taupe shimmer), Eden, Greed (gold shimmer) Well, the lazy hazy days of summer are behind us & it’s time to spiff up, leave the bronze shimmer at the beach & polish up your look. Fall 2012 makeup looks call for color on the eye, either strong & bold, or a soft wash of color on the lids or as liner. With any eye make up, there [...]
I adore perfumes with orange blossom. There is a simplicity and innocence to that scent that evokes soap, babies and even sweet desserts. You can be transported to a romantic garden with intoxicating blossoms surrounding you. But therein lies the issue with this flower. We don’t always want to smell like sweet gentle babies in the garden. Leave it to By Kilian to amp up the sensuous quality of orange [...]
