I am a lover of lip gloss, especially soft and natural shades that make lips look plump and cushiony. Lucie + Pompette is a gorgeous niche beauty brand that I stumbled upon meandering around Instagram. I found out there is lots of love for Lucie + Pompette and for good reason! From their site: Lip…
Guerlain Mahora is a reviled Guerlain offering from 1999, partially I think because it should have been release in 1985. Or maybe even 1965. It’s lush, animalic, unapologetically rich and, to me, absolutely gorgeous. Mahora is Jacques Guerlain’s last creation for the house, released after Guerlain’s other weird and divisive Samsara. I happen to love…
I started a special skincare routine around 10 days ago. And by special skincare routine I mean I added a serum to my morning and evening application of the things after cleansing. This isn’t just “a” serum, though, it’s more like The Serum because this one bottle of goodness is doing what it promises. We…
I hate to wear heavy makeup. I wear only the minimum amount necessary, which is very little. My go-to “face make up” for every day is my handy dandy Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base. It gives just the right amount of easy to control sheer coverage, and my skin doesn’t hate it. It has a…
As time marches by, I have learned many important beauty lessons. The number one lesson is that it does not matter how much makeup we buy/use, nothing looks good if the canvas, our skin, isn’t healthy. Whenever someone asks me about “beauty secrets”, or how to look your best in the latest and greatest beauty…
I rarely wear actual lipstick, but there was no way I could say no to the MAC Cosmetics Look In Box Lip Kit in Pretty Natural. I love a soft natural lip on myself more than a bold shade, and probably own every sheer pink/beige lip gloss ever made. Well, almost. With regards to makeup, I like…
I am so in love with the gorgeous Charlotte Tilbury line! From her skincare to her makeup, I’m a fan. I was so thrilled to be invited to participate in the Canadian launch of Charlotte Tilbury with Holt Renfrew by showing you one of her gorgeous looks. I recreated the Charlotte Tilbury Golden Goddess look with…
Renowned nail artist Jin Soon Choi has created two exclusive nail polish sets for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site Goop. Known for her elegant simplicity, Jin Soon Choi is one of the most influential nail artists in the industry. Born in Korea, Jin moved to New York City in 1991 and quickly built a reputation as…
Oh Chanel. Their Spring 2015 makeup has a nail polish trio that sang to me. It sang “BUY MEEEEE”! With the gorgeous plum pink fuschia Desiro, the frosty silvery sea foam green Paradiso and the dusty mauve-y purple Tenderly, these were all must-haves for me. How pretty is Chanel Tenderly? It’s in my Currently Loving…
I recently rewatched one of my favourite movies, The Bridges of Madison County. I love it not just for the heartbreaking love and longing between Francesca (Meryl Streep, positively radiant and perfect as always) and Richard (the manly and gallant Clint Eastwood). And, as a perfume addict, I am a constant watcher for perfume mentions…
