Lately I have found myself craving the scent of rose. Not a rose perfume, mind you, but soft sweet and simple rose. Rose water is perfect for this, but, not all rose waters are created equally. Rose, to my nose, can turn either sour or cloyingly powdery. A lot of rose soliflore perfumes can be…
Beauty Blog Round Up Reading
Love this ad…not sure why but it says “Fall” to me… Here is some of my fave beauty blog reading of the week. Enjoy! Eyebrows are so hot right now, but they are also a feature that a good chunk of the population gets wrong. BeautyEditor has a fantastic Eyebrow 101 we should all read……
The Gorgeousness of Ivoire de Balmain
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,…
I’m Officially In Love With Dermaglow
I’ve toyed with the Dermaglow line via the samples I get from my friendly neighborhood Shopper’s Drug Mart Cosmetic Angels but never really given it a fair shot. They now have a new oil free line that combines oil free and mattifying qualitites with their anti aging science. The issue I have with a lot…

It’s not a groundbreaking colour, but it is a classic that deserves a place in every nail polish collection. Deborah Lippmann has a gift for making her…
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…
