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 [...]
Earlier this week I posted about the new Clinique Nail Enamel and now I finally got the chance to try a couple colours. I have a few more to go but these ones stood out as lovely for spring! They really are not as strong smelling as my other polishes and application was easy. Pinkini is only 2 coats below and you can see a little VNL (visible nail line) so [...]
As you know, I love musk scents. Clean musks, floral musks and woodsy musks – I love them all. Certain musks have the ability to morph and take on the chemistry of the wearer and become what I like to call a “skin scent”. This means the scent sits close to the skin and only get noticed when someone is close to you. Lately I’ve been enjoying a sweet and [...]
One of my favourite scent memories is Rose Milk body lotion. I used it as a teenager and just loved it. Turns out it is still being made and sold! I think a few drugstores in the US carry it, although I got mine from Amazon.com for under $10. It is nothing spectacular as far as ingredients go, and if you are mineral oil wary, then it is likely not [...]
Look at these colours! I am so excited for this line. Love the packaging, and the colours are like candy! Clinique debuts A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins! Clinique introduces a pioneering innovation to the nail enamel industry with a formula designed to minimize unwanted reactions to the nails, skin and eyes. Available in a rainbow array of colours (twelve shades make up the permanent collection); there will be nine [...]
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 [...]
Let us enjoy this excerpt from Pablo Neruda’s Ode To The Lemon: …he most intense liqueur of nature, unique, vivid, concentrated, born of the cool, fresh lemon, of its fragrant house, its acid, secret symmetry. I bet you already can smell lemon. You can feel your mouth water just a bit, thinking of the tart sour taste of fresh lemonade, and the ability of the scent and taste of lemon [...]
