Most people describe Ivoire de Balmain as “soapy” or “clean”. I suppose it is those things, but to simply describe it as that would be like calling Ottawa in January as “cold”. Ivoire is, to me, a gorgeous meditation on warm, sexy skin. It was released in 1980, and is described as a Green Floral,…

Floris Snow Rose, A Beautiful Cool & Gentle Rose
I have been coming back around to rose scents lately. Interesting, rose is often associated in aromatherapy with “women’s issues” and helping to balance moods. That’s not to say men can’t benefit from the calming and soothing benefits of the scent of rose, but I notice when there are fluctuations of the hormonal kind I…

Chanel Quartz is Beautiful & Elegant
How swoony are these colours? Chanel’s Fall 2011 nail polish shades are simply to die for. Neutral but with a metallic sparkle and iridescent edge that makes them irresistible. As usual. I dithered over the three and ended up with Quartz, thinking it would get the most wear. It is a an elegant neutral taupe…

Powdery Perfumes, Beautiful & Comforting.

Smell Sexy & Beautiful
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…
Beautiful Fall Hair Freshen Up
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…
Urban Decay Keeps Your Make Up Beautiful
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…
