Hourglass is one of my favourite cosmetic lines. Not only are the cosmetics of the highest quality and perform above and beyond the call of beauty-duty, but their packaging is gorgeous. Hourglass products feel like high quality items and there is nothing flimsy about the construction or the design. They feel nice in the hand and are attractive in their soft bronze/brown shade with gold highlights. Well, Hourglass really ups [...]
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, [...]
I thought I would share two items I am LOVING right now. These are items that have earned permanent spots in my collection for one simple reason – the reason anything becomes something I can’t be without – they work. Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes is a new product in the LiftActiv line, and it is designed to work in conjunction with any eye treatments you may be [...]
I recently got an email asking me which cleanser I might recommend for someone with combination skin. She did not want a cleanser that would dry the skin, and is using retinols on her skin. That got me to thinking about the cleansers in my life. I use lots anti-aging stuff on my face, and also have oily/combination skin. I tend to hop from brand to brand, trying the latest [...]
Ok why did it take me so long to try this stuff? Hydraluron, made by Indeed Labs, is a gel-serum designed to boost the performance of any moisturizer. It is to be used under your creams/lotions/serums and is basically full of hyaluronic acid goodness, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, keeps it there, making your skin dewy and plump. Yes. You heard me. DEWY AND PLUMP. First time I [...]
Jean Naté After Bath Splash is another terrific product from my youth that seems to have disappeared from Canadian drugstores. Happily, it is everywhere in the US! At $10 for a huge bottle, how could I not get it? I used to love the splash, the spray cologne and even the powder. It was the perfect hot summer day solution- post bath or shower, you just pour some from the [...]
I have mentioned La Roche Posay Cicaplast in passing, which isn’t really fair. It is a miraculous product I can’t be without and deserves a solid mention. Cicaplast was created to deal with several different skin irritations like dry patches, chapped skin, and skin that is tender and healing post-dermatological procedures like peels and resurfacing. I use it for skin injuries- most recently my daughter badly sliced her foot on a [...]
Another drugstore product has made it into my Daly Product love line up. I wanted to try something different from my Nivea Q10. Lately I’ve felt that the silicone content, while making the lotion feel silky and smooth on my skin, wasn’t actually sinking in and moisturising my skin as much as I wanted. I was reapplying often and perhaps this is due to central heating being turned on but at any [...]
I’ve had many requests to share my skincare routine. I know I review lots of individual products, but I thought I would let you what I use in the morning and at night, why I use them, and what they do. I hope you enjoy the video, it’s over ten minutes long but I manage to squeeze tons of info in! Seriously, it takes a lot of stuff to look [...]
