One of my latest skincare loves is Dermaglow. One of their early successes was the Dermaglow Lip Plumper and I am now officially a believer. I grabbed it on sale at our local Shoppers Drug Mart a couple weeks ago and wish I had grabbed two. Or five. I LOVE it. Dermaglow Lip Plumper is a moisturizing…
Am I Blushing Or Is It Benefit Dandelion?
Continuing my love of all things Benefit, I wanted to share my soft gentle “am I blushing or am I wearing blush” fave, Benefit Dandelion. This is a no-fail super soft and sheer pink powder blush that is basically your cheek colour at 14 years old in a box. When I first got it home…
Gently Wash Your Hair with Live Clean
I’ve been meaning to post about Live Clean shampoos for awhile now. In my search for gentle but effective shampoo that doesn’t have pthalates, parabens or excess foaming agents (like SLS or Sodium Laurel/Laureth and DEA) I’ve tried several brands. I’ve tried expensive brands that actually have all that nasty stuff and lots of silicone,…
Goody Double Wear Bands- Fun, Fashionable & Functional!
I don’t know a person with long hair who has not, at one time or another, worn elastic bands on their wrists. I do it all the time. One of the things I love about the Goody blonde ponytail holders is that they are skin tone so they don’t look *that* bad when worn on…
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Bel Ami – Perfect For The Lipstick Challenged (like me!)
I was in a beauty conundrum. I wanted a lip colour that looked like, well, a colour. I am a YLBB (Your Lips But Better) woman at the best of times so this was indeed a challenge. My daughters are so brave and always sporting bright fun lippies and while I love colour, I just…
Happy Holidays….
Wishing all of you a safe & happy holiday season…..cheers!
Sexy Angelic Perfume For Cuddling
Yes, Sexy Angelic is actually the name of the perfume by the natural perfume house, Honoré des Pres and not the latest vile concoction that Victoria’s Secret likes to call perfume. Honoré des Pres is headed up by the perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, best known for her soft and ethereal perfumes at L’Artisan Parfumeur and Diptyque,…
Stick Your Nose Into A Bouquet of Jo Malone Red Roses
Funny – I realized the other day that I had never tried Jo Malone Red Roses. I always have so much fun at the Jo Malone counter, trying this with that, and trying new combos on my skin. I’d likely sniffed a Red Roses tester bottle at Neimans or Holts, but it has never been…
In Which My Rose Water Obsession Continues…
So further to my post on rose water last week, my journey continues with some fancy schmancy rose waters. My research told me that there are basically two lovely high end rose waters worth trying if you want a) super luxe skincare and b) a soft gorgeous rose scent. There is no question that both…
BeautyBloggers.org Charity Auction
I am delighted to report that the BeautyBloggers.org charity beauty auction is back for year 2, and the items up for sale are mind-blowingly amazing. I’ve been going through the selection and am drooling over the goodies! I hope someone bids on my bottle of Dance With Givenchy Limited Edition perfume– hard to find, and…
